MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
PROPOSED HOLDING COMPANY FOR MAGYAR BANK
2,277,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Magyar Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is offering for sale 2,277,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the reorganization of Magyar Bank into the mutual holding company form of ownership. The shares being offered represent 44.20% of the shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the reorganization. We also intend to contribute up to 91,080 shares of common stock, or 1.77% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the reorganization, and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by Magyar Bank, a New Jersey-chartered savings bank. After the stock offering, 54.03% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s outstanding shares of common stock will be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC, our proposed New Jersey-chartered mutual holding company parent. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is the proposed holding company for Magyar Bank. An application has been filed with Nasdaq and we expect that the shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MGYR."
We must sell a minimum of 1,683,000 shares in order to complete the reorganization and the stock offering. We will terminate the stock offering if we do not sell the minimum number of shares. We may sell up to 2,618,550 shares without resoliciting subscribers. The stock offering is scheduled to expire at 12:00 noon on [expiration date]. We may extend the expiration date without notice to you, until [extension date]. No extension may go beyond __________, 2007.

The maximum purchase that an individual may make through a single qualifying deposit account is 25,000 shares of common stock, and no person by himself, or with an associate or group of persons acting in concert may purchase more than 35,000 shares of common stock. For further information concerning the limitations on purchases of common stock, see "The Reorganization and the Stock Offering--Limitations on Purchase of Shares." Once submitted, orders are irrevocable unless the stock offering is terminated or extended beyond [extension date]. Funds received during the stock offering will be held in an account at Magyar Bank and will bear interest at our passbook savings rate, which is currently ____% per annum. If the stock offering is terminated, subscribers will have their funds returned promptly, with interest. If the stock offering is extended beyond [extension date] or there is a resolicitation of subscribers, we will notify you, and you will have the opportunity to renew, change or cancel your order. If you do not provide us with a positive indication of your intent to renew your order, your funds will be returned to you with interest.
Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. will use its best efforts to assist us in selling our shares of common stock, but is not obligated to purchase any of the shares of common stock that are being offered for sale. The shares are being offered at $10.00 per share. Subscribers will not pay any commissions to purchase shares of common stock in the stock offering. There is currently no public market for the shares of common stock.

MAGYAR BANK
Magyar Bank is a New Jersey-chartered savings bank headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey that was originally founded in 1922 as a New Jersey building and loan. In 1954, Magyar Bank converted to a New Jersey savings and loan association, before converting to the New Jersey savings bank charter in 1993. We conduct business from our main office located at 400 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey, and our three branch offices located in North Brunswick, South Brunswick and New Brunswick, New Jersey. The telephone number at our main office is 732-342-7600. At June 30, 2005, our assets totaled $325.1 million, our deposits totaled $259.1 million and our retained earnings were $23.2 million.
We are in the business of attracting deposits from the public through our branch network and borrowing funds to originate loans and to invest in securities. We originate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate (including home equity lines of credit) and commercial real estate, as well as commercial business loans and construction loans. We also
originate consumer loans, the majority of which are secured demand loans. We offer a variety of deposit accounts and emphasize exceptional customer service. Our investment securities consist primarily of mortgage-back securities and U.S. Government and Federal Agency obligations. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by both the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our business strategy is to grow and improve profitability by:
o expanding our retail banking franchise through de novo branching and, potentially, acquisitions;
o expanding and strengthening our customer base by offering new products and services;
o increasing our loan portfolio and, in particular, commercial real estate, commercial business and construction loans;
o reducing our reliance on net interest income by increasing fee income from a variety of products and services, such as fixed and variable annuities, retirement and investment planning, life insurance and long-term care insurance;
o maintaining asset quality;
o managing our exposure to interest rate risk; and
o improving operating efficiencies and cost control.
A full description of our products and services begins on page 58 of this prospectus. See also "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Business Strategy" for a discussion of our business strategy.
OUR REORGANIZATION INTO A MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY AND THE STOCK OFFERING
We do not have stockholders in our current mutual form of ownership. The reorganization is a series of transactions by which we will convert our corporate structure from our current status as a mutual savings bank to the mutual holding company form of ownership. Following the reorganization, Magyar Bank will become a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be a majority-owned subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, MHC. Our depositors will continue to have the same rights in Magyar Bancorp, MHC as they have in Magyar Bank. As a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank, we will continue to be subject to the regulation and supervision of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Also, upon consummation of the reorganization and stock offering, Magyar Bancorp, MHC and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as bank holding companies, and will be subject to Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulations, supervision and reporting requirements.
The primary reasons for our decision to reorganize into a mutual holding company and conduct the offering are to establish an organizational structure that will enable us to compete more effectively in the financial services marketplace, offer our depositors, employees, management and directors an equity ownership interest in Magyar Bank and thereby obtain an economic interest in its future success, and increase our capital to support future growth and profitability.
Our new structure will permit us to issue capital stock, which is a source of capital not available to a mutual savings bank.
The reorganization and the capital raised in the offering are expected to:
o allow us to grow through whole bank or branch acquisitions or de novo branching;
o increase our lending capacity by providing us with additional capital to support new loans and higher lending limits;
o increase our capacity to invest in securities, including mortgage-backed securities;
o increase our capital base, which will provide greater flexibility to invest in longer-term, higher-yielding assets; and
o allow us to pay cash dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock.
The reorganization and stock offering also will allow us to establish stock benefit plans for management and employees which will permit us to attract and retain qualified personnel.
Unlike a standard conversion transaction in which all of the common stock issued by the converting savings bank is sold to the public, in a mutual holding company reorganization only a minority of the converting bank's stock is sold to the public. A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock must be held by the mutual holding company. Consequently, the shares that we are permitted to sell in the stock offering represent a minority of our outstanding shares. As a result, a mutual holding company offering raises less than half of the capital of a standard conversion offering. Based on these restrictions and our board of directors' evaluation of our capital needs, our board of directors has decided to offer 44.20% of our outstanding shares of common stock for sale in the offering, and 54.03% of our shares will be retained by Magyar Bancorp, MHC. The board of directors determined that offering 44.20% of our outstanding shares of common stock for sale in the offering would enable management to more effectively invest the capital raised in the offering. We also intend to contribute up to 91,080 shares of common stock, or 1.77% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the offering, and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by Magyar Bank.
The following chart shows our corporate structure following the reorganization and stock offering:
----------------------------- -------------------------------- Public Stockholders Magyar Bancorp, MHC (Including the Charitable Foundation) ----------------------------- -------------------------------- 54.03% 45.97% of of common stock common stock ------------------------------------------------------- |
TERMS OF THE STOCK OFFERING
We are offering between 1,683,000 and 2,277,000 shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to eligible depositors, our tax-qualified plans, including an employee stock ownership plan, and, to the extent shares remain available, to the public. The maximum number of shares that we sell in the stock offering may increase by up to 15%, to 2,618,550 shares, as a result of strong demand for the shares of common stock in the stock offering and/or positive changes in financial markets in general and with respect to financial institution stocks in particular. Unless the estimated pro forma market value of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. decreases below $38,073,200 or increases above $59,237,420, you will not have the opportunity to change or cancel your stock order once submitted. The offering price of the shares of common stock is $10.00 per share. Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., our marketing advisor in connection with the stock offering, will use its best efforts to assist us in selling our shares of common stock, but Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. is not obligated to purchase any shares in the stock offering.
We also intend to contribute up to 104,742 shares of common stock (at the adjusted maximum of the offering range), or 1.77% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the offering, and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by Magyar Bank.
PERSONS WHO MAY ORDER STOCK IN THE STOCK OFFERING
We are offering the shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. in a "subscription offering" in the following order of priority:
(1) Depositors who had accounts at Magyar Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 as of the close of business on June 30, 2004;
(2) The Magyar Bank tax-qualified employee plans, including the employee stock ownership plan and Magyar Bank's existing 401(k) plan;
(3) Depositors who had accounts at Magyar Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 as of the close of business on September 30, 2005; and
(4) Depositors who had accounts at Magyar Bank with aggregate balances of at least $50 as of the close of business on [voting record date].
If any shares of our common stock remain unsold in the subscription offering, we may offer such shares for sale in a community offering. Natural persons residing in Middlesex and Somerset Counties, New Jersey, will have a purchase preference in any community offering. Shares also may be offered to the general public. The community offering, if any, may commence concurrently with, during or promptly after, the subscription offering. We also may offer shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering or the community offering through a syndicate of broker-dealers in what is referred to as a syndicated community offering. The syndicated community offering, if necessary, would be managed by Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. We have the right to accept or reject, in our sole discretion, any orders received in the community offering or the syndicated community offering.
To ensure a proper allocation of stock, each eligible account holder must list on his or her stock order form all deposit accounts in which he or she had an ownership interest on June 30, 2004, September 30, 2005 or [voting record date], as applicable. Failure to list an account, or providing incorrect information, could result in the loss of all or part of a subscriber's stock allocation. We will strive to identify your ownership in all accounts, but we cannot guarantee that we will identify all accounts in which you have an ownership interest. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization and of the acceptability of the order forms will be final.
LIMITS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The minimum purchase is 25 shares of common stock. Generally, no individual, or individuals through a single qualifying deposit account, may purchase more than $250,000 (25,000 shares of common stock). If any of the following persons purchase shares of common stock, their purchases, when combined with your purchases, cannot exceed $350,000 (35,000 shares):
o your spouse, or relatives of you or your spouse living in your house;
o companies or other entities in which you have a 10% or greater equity or substantial beneficial interest or in which you serve as a senior officer or partner;
o a trust or other estate, if you have a substantial beneficial interest in the trust or estate or you are a trustee or fiduciary for the trust or other estate; or
o other persons who may be acting together with you (including, but not limited to, persons who file jointly a Schedule 13G or Schedule 13D Beneficial Ownership Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission).
Unless we determine otherwise, persons having the same address and persons exercising subscription rights through qualifying deposit accounts registered to the same address will be subject to the overall purchase limitations. A detailed discussion of the limitations on purchases
of common stock by an individual, associates and persons acting together is set forth under the caption "The Reorganization and the Stock Offering--Limitations on Purchase of Shares."
We may increase or decrease the purchase limitations in the stock offering at any time.
Our employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 8.0% of the shares sold in the stock offering and issued to the charitable foundation, without regard to these purchase limitations.
HOW WE DETERMINED TO OFFER BETWEEN 1,683,000 SHARES AND 2,277,000 SHARES
The decision to offer between 1,683,000 shares and 2,277,000 shares, subject to adjustment, which is our offering range, is based on an independent appraisal of our pro forma market value prepared by FinPro, Inc., a firm experienced in appraisals of financial institutions. FinPro, Inc. is of the opinion that as of September 2, 2005, the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. on a fully-converted basis was between $38,073,200 and $51,510,800, with a midpoint of $44,792,000. The term "fully converted" assumes that 100% of our shares of common stock had been sold to the public, as opposed to the 44.20% that will be sold in the stock offering.
In preparing its appraisal, FinPro, Inc. considered the information contained in this prospectus, including Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s consolidated financial statements. FinPro, Inc. also considered the following factors, among others:
o the present and projected operating results and financial condition of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank, and the economic and demographic conditions in Magyar Bank's existing market areas;
o certain historical, financial and other information relating to Magyar Bank;
o a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial statistics of Magyar Bank with those of other similarly situated publicly traded thrifts and mutual holding companies (peer group);
o the impact of the stock offering on Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s consolidated net worth and earnings potential; and
o the trading market for securities of comparable institutions and general conditions in the market for such securities.
We also intend to contribute up to 104,742 shares of common stock (at the adjusted maximum of the offering range), or 1.77% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the offering, and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by Magyar Bank. The intended contribution of cash and common stock to the charitable foundation has the effect of reducing our estimated pro forma valuation. See "Comparison of Valuation and Pro Forma Information With and Without the Charitable Foundation."
In reviewing the appraisal prepared by FinPro, Inc., the Board of Directors considered the methodologies and the appropriateness of the assumptions used by FinPro, Inc. in addition to the factors listed above. The Board of Directors believes these assumptions are reasonable.
The Board of Directors determined the common stock should be sold at $10.00 per share and that 44.20% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock should be offered for sale in the stock offering. Based on the estimated valuation range and the $10.00 per share purchase price, the number of shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock that will be outstanding upon completion of the stock offering will range from 3,807,320 to 5,151,080 (subject to adjustment to 5,923,742), and the number of shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock that will be sold in the stock offering will range from 1,683,000 shares to 2,277,000 shares (subject to adjustment to 2,618,550), with a midpoint of 1,980,000 shares. The number of shares that Magyar Bancorp, MHC will own after the stock offering will range from 2,057,000 to 2,783,000 (subject to adjustment to 3,200,450). The number of shares of common stock that the charitable foundation will own after the stock offering will range from 67,320 to 91,080 (subject to adjustment to 104,742).
The appraisal will be updated before we complete the stock offering. If the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at that time is either below $38,073,200 or above $59,237,420, then Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may: terminate the stock offering and return all funds promptly; extend the stock offering or hold a new subscription or community offering, or both; establish a new offering range and commence a resolicitation of subscribers; or take such other actions as may be permitted by the plan of reorganization. Under any such circumstances, we will notify you, and you will have the opportunity to renew, change or cancel your order. If you do not provide us with a positive indication of your intention to renew your order, your funds will be returned to you with interest at our passbook savings rate.
Two measures that investors often use to analyze an issuer's stock are the ratio of the offering price to the issuer's tangible book value and the ratio of the offering price to the issuer's annual net income. According to FinPro, Inc., while appraisers (as well as investors) use both ratios to evaluate an issuer's stock, the price to tangible book value ratio has historically been the most frequently used method due to the volatility of earnings in the thrift industry in the early-to-mid 1990s and, generally, the lower price to earnings multiples of recently converted institutions, and more recently, volatile interest rates. FinPro, Inc. considered both of these ratios, among other factors, in preparing its appraisal. Tangible book value is the same as tangible equity, and represents the difference between the issuer's tangible assets and liabilities.
FinPro, Inc. considered the information contained in the following table, which presents a summary of selected pricing ratios for peer group companies and for us (on an adjusted core earnings basis). As Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and the individual peer companies have different percentages of shares owned by public stockholders, FinPro, Inc. relied on ratios that assume the full conversion of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and all of the peer companies. The peer group consists of 12 publicly traded mutual holding companies that FinPro, Inc. considered comparable to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. FinPro, Inc.'s appraisal is based on a comparison of financial and other characteristics of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. relative to the peer group. A share of common stock is priced at 52.63 times and 66.67 times our pro forma fully converted last twelve months' core earnings, at the midpoint and adjusted maximum of the valuation range, respectively. The common stock is valued at 73.64% and 80.97% of our pro forma fully converted tangible
book value, at the midpoint and adjusted maximum of the valuation range, respectively. As of September 2, 2005 the median trading price of the peer group companies was 32.07 times their last twelve months' core earnings per share on a fully converted basis and 93.36% of their fully converted tangible book value per share. At the midpoint of the value range, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is priced at a 64.12% premium on a fully converted core earnings basis and a 21.07% discount on a fully converted tangible book value basis relative to the peer group median. At the adjusted maximum of the value range, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is priced at a 107.90% premium on a fully converted core earnings basis and an 13.27% discount on a fully converted tangible book value basis relative to the peer group median.

(1) The price-to-core earnings multiples set forth above reflect the
recognition of compensation expense in accordance with recently finalized
rules issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities
and Exchange Commission requiring public companies to expense the
grant-date fair value of stock options granted to officers, directors and
employees. The implementation of this accounting rule will increase our
compensation costs over the vesting period of the options. FinPro, Inc.
assumed that the entire stock option plan would be expensed over a
five-year period. In calculating the fully converted pricing multiples
FinPro, Inc. assumed that the peer group implemented an employee stock
ownership plan and stock-based incentive plans, as part of their second
step conversions, and factored in the expensing of stock options. The pro
forma information beginning on page 33 reflects an estimated expense for
the stock option plan that may be adopted by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and the
resulting effect on the pro forma price-to-earnings multiples for Magyar
Bancorp, Inc.

Stock prices of some recent mutual holding company offerings have decreased below their initial offering prices. For example, while the above table illustrates an average appreciation of 4.25% after one month of trading, the stock of 5 companies were trading below their initial offering price after one month of trading. The table above presents only short-term historical information on stock price performance, which may not be indicative of the longer-term performance of such stock prices. It is also not intended to predict how shares of our common stock may perform following the offering.
The market price of any particular company's stock is subject to various factors, including the amount of proceeds a company raises and management's ability to deploy proceeds (such as through investments, the acquisition of other financial institutions or other businesses, the payment of dividends and common stock repurchases). In addition, stock prices may be affected by general market conditions, the interest rate environment, the market for financial institutions, merger or takeover transactions, the presence of professional and other investors who purchase stock on speculation, as well as other unforeseeable events not necessarily in the control of management or the board of directors.
FinPro, Inc. advised the Board of Directors that the appraisal was prepared in conformance with the regulatory appraisal methodology. That methodology requires a valuation based on an analysis of the trading prices of comparable public companies whose stocks have traded for at least one year prior to the valuation date. FinPro, Inc. also advised the Board of Directors that the aftermarket trading experience of recent transactions was considered in the appraisal as a general indicator of current market conditions, but was not relied upon as a primary valuation methodology.
BEFORE YOU MAKE AN INVESTMENT DECISION, WE URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY READ THIS PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE SECTION ENTITLED "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 17.
OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES WILL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS AFTER THE REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING
The Board of Directors of Magyar Bank has adopted an employee stock ownership plan, which will award shares of our common stock to eligible employees primarily based on their compensation. It is expected that our employee stock ownership plan will purchase 8.0% of the shares sold in the stock offering and issued to the charitable foundation, and that Magyar Bank's existing 401(k) plan will purchase shares of common stock in the offering to the extent shares are available. Additionally, we may implement stock-based incentive plans that will provide for grants of stock options and restricted stock.
In addition to shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan, we may grant options and awards under the stock-based incentive plan. If the stock-based incentive plan is implemented and approved by stockholders within one year of the completion of the stock offering, the number of options granted or shares awarded under the stock-based incentive plan may not exceed 10% and 4%, respectively, of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation.
The employee stock ownership plan and the stock-based incentive plan will increase our future compensation costs, thereby reducing our earnings. The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission recently finalized rules that require public companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock options granted to officers, directors and employees by their first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, which, for us, is the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2005. Since all stock options will be granted after October 1, 2005, we will expense the grant-date fair value of such stock options. Recognizing an expense equal to the grant-date fair value of stock options will increase our compensation costs over the vesting period of the options. Additionally, stockholders will experience a reduction in their ownership interest if we issue new shares of our common stock to fund stock options and stock awards. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Offering--Our Stock-Based Incentive and Benefit Plans Will Increase Our Costs, Which Will Reduce Our Income" and "Management--Stock Benefit Plans."
The following table summarizes the stock benefits that our officers, directors and employees may receive following the reorganization and stock offering at the maximum of the offering range and assuming that we initially implement a stock-based incentive plan granting options to purchase 10% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation, and awarding shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation. In the table below, it is assumed that, at the maximum of the offering range, a total of 2,368,080 shares will be sold to the public and issued to the charitable foundation, and a total of 5,151,080 shares will be outstanding after the offering, including shares issued to Magyar Bancorp, MHC and to the charitable foundation.

The value of the restricted shares of common stock will be based on the price of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock at the time those shares are awarded, which, subject to stockholder approval, cannot occur until at least six months after the reorganization. The following table presents the total value of all restricted shares to be available for award and issuance under the stock-based incentive plan, assuming the shares for the plan are purchased or issued in a range of market prices from $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share.

The grant-date fair value of the options granted under the stock-based incentive plan will be based in part on the price of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock at the time the options are granted, which, subject to stockholder approval, cannot occur until at least six months after the reorganization. The value will also depend on the various assumptions utilized in estimating the value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table presents the total estimated value of the options to be available for grant under the stock option plan, assuming the market price and exercise price for the stock options are equal and the range of market prices for the shares is $8.00 per share to $14.00 per share.

OUR ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
To further our commitment to our local community, we intend to establish a charitable foundation as part of the offering. We will contribute cash in the amount of $500,000 and issue
shares of our common stock, ranging from 67,320 shares at the minimum of the valuation range to 91,080 shares at the maximum of the valuation range, which shares will have a value of $673,200 at the minimum of the valuation range and $910,800 at the maximum of the valuation range, based on the $10.00 per share offering price. As a result of the issuance of shares and the contribution of cash to the charitable foundation, we will record an after-tax expense of approximately $704,000 at the minimum of the valuation range and of approximately $847,000 at the maximum of the valuation range, during the quarter in which the offering is completed. The charitable foundation will be dedicated exclusively to supporting charitable causes and community development activities in the communities in which we operate.
Issuing shares of common stock to the charitable foundation will:
o dilute the voting interests of purchasers of shares of our common stock in the stock offering; and
o result in an expense, and a reduction in earnings during the quarter in which the contribution is made, equal to the full amount of the contribution to the charitable foundation, offset in part by a corresponding tax benefit.
See "Risk Factors--The Contribution of Shares to the Charitable Foundation Will Dilute Your Ownership Interests and Adversely Affect Net Income in Fiscal Year 2006," "Comparison of Valuation and Pro Forma Information With and Without the Charitable Foundation" and "Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation".
HOW YOU MAY PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
In the subscription offering and the community offering you may pay for your shares only by:
(1) personal check, bank check or money order payable to Magyar Bancorp, Inc.; or
(2) authorizing us to withdraw money from your deposit account(s) maintained with Magyar Bank (you may not authorize direct withdrawal from accounts with check-writing privileges; you should submit a check instead).
If you wish to use your Magyar Bank individual retirement account to pay for your shares, please be aware that federal law requires that such funds first be transferred to a self-directed retirement account with a trustee other than Magyar Bank. The transfer of such funds to a new trustee takes time, so please make arrangements as soon as possible or contact the Stock Information Center for further information. We cannot assure you that you will be able to use retirement accounts for this purchase.
Also, please be aware that Magyar Bank is not permitted to lend funds to anyone for the purpose of purchasing shares of common stock in the offering. Therefore, you may not submit Magyar Bank line of credit checks to purchase stock in the offering.
You can subscribe for shares of common stock in the stock offering by delivering to Magyar Bank a signed and completed original stock order form, together with full payment,
provided we receive the stock order form before the end of the offering. Payments received by Magyar Bank will be cashed immediately and placed in a segregated savings account at Magyar Bank. We will pay interest at Magyar Bank's passbook rate, currently ____% per annum, from the date funds are received until completion or termination of the stock offering. Withdrawals from certificates of deposit at Magyar Bank for the purpose of purchasing common stock in the stock offering may be made without incurring an early withdrawal penalty. All funds authorized for withdrawal from deposit accounts with Magyar Bank must be in the deposit accounts at the time the stock order form is received. However, funds will not be withdrawn from the accounts until the offering is completed and will continue to earn interest at the applicable deposit account rate until the completion of the stock offering. A hold will be placed on those funds when your stock order is received, making the designated funds unavailable to you. After we receive an order, the order cannot be revoked or changed, except with our consent. Payment may not be made by wire transfer or any other electronic transfer of funds. In addition, we are not required to accept copies or facsimiles of order forms.
For a further discussion regarding the stock ordering procedures, see "The Reorganization and the Stock Offering--Prospectus Delivery and Procedure for Purchasing Shares."
YOU MAY NOT SELL OR TRANSFER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
If you order shares of common stock in the subscription offering, you will be required to state that you are purchasing the shares of common stock for yourself and that you have no agreement or understanding to sell or transfer your subscription rights. We intend to take legal action, including reporting persons to federal or state regulatory agencies, against anyone who we believe sells or in any way transfers his or her subscription rights. We will not accept your stock order if we have reason to believe that you sold or transferred your subscription rights. In addition, joint stock registration will only be allowed if the qualified account is so registered. In addition, you may not add the names of others for joint stock registration unless you share the same subscription offering eligibility priority. Failure to list all deposit accounts in which you have an interest, or providing incomplete or incorrect information, may result in a loss of part or all of your share allocation.
DEADLINE FOR ORDERS OF COMMON STOCK
If you wish to purchase shares of common stock, we must receive, not simply have post-marked, your properly completed stock order form, together with payment for the shares, no later than 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [expiration date], unless we extend this deadline. You may submit your stock order form by mail using the return envelope provided, by overnight courier to the indicated address on the stock order form, or by bringing your stock order form to our Stock Information Center, located at our main office. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT STOCK ORDER FORMS AT ANY OF OUR BRANCH OFFICES.
EXPIRATION OF THE STOCK OFFERING
The subscription offering will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on
[expiration date]. We expect that the community offering, if held, would expire
at the same time. We may extend
this expiration date without notice to you, until [extension date]. If the subscription offering and/or community offerings extend beyond [extension date], we will be required to resolicit subscribers before proceeding with the offering. In such event, if you choose not to subscribe for the common stock, your funds will be promptly returned to you with interest. No extension may go beyond _________, 2007, which is two years after the date of the special meeting of depositors called to consider and vote upon the reorganization.
STEPS WE MAY TAKE IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE ORDERS FOR THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES
If we do not receive orders for at least 1,683,000 shares of common stock after the expiration of the subscription offering and any community offering and syndicated community offering, and we chose not to terminate the offering, we may take several steps to sell the minimum number of shares of common stock in the offering range. Specifically, we may
o increase the maximum number of shares that may be purchased by any subscriber (including our subscribing directors and officers) and/or
o extend the offering beyond the [expiration date] expiration date, provided that any such extension will require us to resolicit subscriptions received in the offering.
OUR POLICY REGARDING DIVIDENDS
Following completion of the stock offering, our Board of Directors will have the authority to declare dividends on our shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the amount and timing of any dividend payments. The payment and amount of any dividend payments will depend upon a number of factors, including the following:
o regulatory capital requirements,
o our financial condition and results of operations,
o tax considerations,
o statutory and regulatory limitations, and
o general economic conditions.
MARKET FOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
We anticipate that the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering will be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MGYR". Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. currently intends to make a market in the shares of common stock, but it is under no obligation to do so.
HOW WE INTEND TO USE THE PROCEEDS WE RAISE FROM THE STOCK OFFERING
Assuming we sell 2,277,000 shares of common stock in the stock offering, resulting in estimated net proceeds of $21.9 million, we intend to distribute the net proceeds as follows:
o $11.7 million (53.19% of the net proceeds) will be contributed to Magyar Bank;
o $1.9 million (8.63% of the net proceeds) will be loaned to our employee stock ownership plan to fund its purchase of 8.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation; and
o $8.4 million (38.18% of the net proceeds) will be retained by us.
We may use the net proceeds of the stock offering to invest in securities, to deposit funds in Magyar Bank, to finance the possible acquisition of other financial institutions or financial service businesses, to pay dividends or for other general corporate purposes, including repurchasing shares of our common stock. Magyar Bank may use the proceeds it receives to make loans, to purchase securities, to expand its banking franchise internally, through branching or through acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. See "How We Intend to Use the Proceeds from the Offering." Neither Magyar Bank nor Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is considering any specific acquisition transaction at this time.
ONCE SUBMITTED, YOUR PURCHASE ORDER MAY NOT BE REVOKED UNLESS THE STOCK OFFERING IS TERMINATED, OR EXTENDED BEYOND [EXTENSION DATE].
Funds that you submit by check or money order to purchase shares of our common stock in the stock offering will be held in an interest-bearing account until the termination or completion of the stock offering, including any extension of the expiration date. Because completion of the stock offering will be subject to an update of the independent appraisal, among other factors, there may be one or more delays in the completion of the stock offering. Any orders that you submit to purchase shares of our common stock in the stock offering are irrevocable, and you will not have access to subscription funds or amounts designated for deposit account withdrawal unless the stock offering is terminated, or extended beyond [extension date].
PROPOSED STOCK PURCHASES BY MANAGEMENT
Magyar Bank's directors and executive officers and their associates are expected to purchase approximately 150,000 shares of common stock in the offering, which represents 7.6% of the shares sold to the public and 3.3% of the total shares to be outstanding after the offering at the midpoint of the offering range. Directors and executive officers will pay the same $10.00 per share price paid by all other persons who purchase shares in the stock offering. These shares will be counted in determining whether the minimum of the range of the stock offering is reached.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE ACQUISITION OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND MAGYAR BANK
Federal regulations, as well as our mutual holding company structure, restrict the ability of any person, firm or entity to acquire Magyar Bancorp, Inc., Magyar Bank, or their respective capital stock. These restrictions include the requirement that a potential acquirer of common stock obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System before acquiring in excess of 10% of the shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
Under New Jersey law and our governing corporate instruments, at least 50.1% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s voting shares must be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC, as long as
Magyar Bancorp, MHC is in existence. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be controlled by its Board of Directors, who will consist of persons who also are members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be able to elect all members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., and as a general matter, will be able to control the outcome of all matters presented to the stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for resolution by vote, except for matters that require a vote greater than a majority. Magyar Bancorp, MHC, acting through its Board of Directors, will be able to control the business and operations of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank, and will be able to prevent any challenge to the ownership or control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. by public stockholders. Accordingly, a change in control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank cannot occur unless agreed to by the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
POSSIBLE CONVERSION OF MAGYAR BANCORP, MHC TO STOCK FORM
In the future, Magyar Bancorp, MHC may convert from the mutual to stock form in a transaction commonly known as a "second-step" conversion. In a second-step conversion, depositors of Magyar Bank would have subscription rights to purchase common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or its successor, and the public stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. would be entitled to exchange their shares of common stock for an equal percentage of shares of the stock holding company resulting from the conversion. This percentage may be adjusted to reflect any assets owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
The Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, MHC has no current plan to undertake a second-step conversion transaction. Any second-step conversion transaction would require the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock (excluding shares held by Magyar Bancorp, MHC) and the approval of a majority of the votes held by depositors of Magyar Bank.
HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE OFFERING
If you have any questions regarding the offering, please call the Stock Information Center at (800) __________, Monday through Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Stock Information Center is located at our main office, 400 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Stock Information Center will be closed weekends and bank holidays.

ORDER FORMS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ONLY WHEN PRECEDED OR ACCOMPANIED BY A PROSPECTUS.
RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION LOAN PORTFOLIO HAS BEEN ORIGINATED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.
Our portfolio of commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans has grown from $34.2 million at September 30, 2003 to $107.2 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of 213.8%. Accordingly, a large portion of this loan portfolio does not provide a significant payment history pattern with which to judge future collectibility, due to the significant originations in the past two years. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the future performance of this part of our loan portfolio. These loans may have delinquency or charge-off levels above our historical experience, which could adversely affect our future performance.
BECAUSE WE INTEND TO CONTINUE OUR EMPHASIS ON THE ORIGINATION OF COMMERCIAL BUSINESS, COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION LOANS, OUR LENDING RISK WILL INCREASE.
At June 30, 2005, our portfolio of commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans totaled $107.2 million, or 42.7% of our total loans. It is our intent to continue our emphasis on the origination of these loans. Commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loans generally have more risk than one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because the repayment of these loans depends on the successful management and operation of the borrower's properties or related businesses, repayment of these loans can be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the local economy. Further, these loans typically have larger loan balances, and several of our borrowers have more than one commercial business, commercial real estate and construction loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one- to four-family residential mortgage loan. Finally, if we foreclose on a commercial business, commercial real estate or construction loan, our holding period for the collateral, if any, typically is longer than for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral. Because we plan to continue to emphasize the origination of these loans, it may be necessary to increase the level of our allowance for loan losses because of the increased risk characteristics associated with these types of loans. Any such increase to our allowance for loan losses would adversely affect our earnings.
OUR PROFITS HAVE DECLINED OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, AND MAY NOT IMPROVE IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Over the past two years our earnings have declined as a direct result of our branch expansion, the relocation of our headquarters office, and the addition of experienced senior lending and administrative personnel. We plan to add up to four new branches by 2008. No assurances can be given that our business plan will succeed, or that our new branches, when
added, will become profitable. Accordingly, we may not experience any improvement in our net income as a result of these efforts in the near future.
A DOWNTURN IN THE NEW JERSEY ECONOMY OR A DECLINE IN REAL ESTATE VALUES COULD REDUCE OUR PROFITS.
Virtually all of our real estate loans are secured by real estate in New Jersey. At June 30, 2005, loans secured by real estate, including home equity loans and lines of credit, represented 86.1% of our total loans. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in this market area could cause significant increases in nonperforming loans, which would reduce our profits. Additionally, a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses, which would hurt our profits. In recent years, there have been significant increases in real estate values in our market area. As a result of rising home prices, our loans have been well collateralized. A decline in real estate values could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss. For a discussion of our market area, see "Business of Magyar Bank--Market Area."
CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES MAY HURT OUR PROFITS AND ASSET VALUES.
Our ability to make a profit largely depends on our net interest income, which could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates. Net interest income is the difference between:
o the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities; and
o the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.
The rates we earn on our assets and the rates we pay on our liabilities are generally fixed for a contractual period of time. While we have taken steps to attempt to reduce our exposure to increases in interest rates, historically our liabilities generally have shorter contractual maturities than our assets. This imbalance can create significant earnings volatility, because market interest rates change over time. In a period of rising interest rates, the interest income earned on our assets may not increase as rapidly as the interest paid on our liabilities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.--Management of Market Risk."
In addition, changes in interest rates can affect the average life of loans and mortgage-backed securities. A reduction in interest rates causes increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities as borrowers refinance their debt to reduce their borrowing costs. This creates reinvestment risk, which is the risk that we may not be able to reinvest the funds from faster prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates we earned on the prepaid loans or securities. Additionally, increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and/or make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans.
Changes in interest rates also affect the current market value of our interest-earning securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities moves inversely with changes in interest
rates. At June 30, 2005, the fair value of our total securities portfolio was $58.1 million. Unrealized net losses on securities totaled $511,000 on an after-tax basis at June 30, 2005.
We evaluate interest rate sensitivity using models that estimate the change in Magyar Bank's net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. At June 30, 2005, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the model projects that we would experience a $114,000, or 1.09%, increase in net interest income in the first year following the change in interest rates, and a $317,000, or 3.03% increase in net interest income in the second year following the change in interest rates. At June 30, 2005, in the event of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the model projects that we would experience a $609,000, or 5.82%, decrease in net interest income in the first year following the change in interest rates, and a $1.2 million, or 11.19% decrease in net interest income in the second year following the change in interest rates. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
At June 30, 2005, our securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $22.1 million, which included $18.0 million of mortgage-backed securities. To the extent interest rates increase and the value of our available-for-sale portfolio decreases, our stockholders' equity will be adversely affected.
IF OUR ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO COVER ACTUAL LOAN LOSSES, OUR EARNINGS COULD DECREASE.
We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. Based on this review, we believe our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb losses in our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2005. However, if our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance, which could materially decrease our net income. Our allowance for loan losses was 0.99% of total loans and 166.24% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2005.
In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
OUR RETURN ON EQUITY WILL BE LOW COMPARED TO OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. THIS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
Net income divided by average equity, known as "return on equity," is a ratio many investors use to compare the performance of a financial institution to its peers. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, our return on average equity was 0.61%, compared to a return on average equity of 8.32% for all publicly traded savings institutions having liquid trading markets.
Following the stock offering, we expect our pro forma consolidated equity to increase from $23.2 million at June 30, 2005 to between $37.1 million at the minimum and $42.3 million at the maximum of the stock offering range. We expect our return on equity to remain below the industry average until we are able to leverage the additional capital we receive from the offering. Our return on equity will be reduced by the capital raised in the stock offering, higher expenses from the costs of being a public company, and added expenses associated with our employee stock ownership plan and the stock-based incentive plan we intend to adopt. Until we can increase our net interest income and other income, we expect our return on equity to be below the industry average, which may reduce the trading price of our shares of common stock.
STRONG COMPETITION WITHIN OUR MARKET AREA MAY LIMIT OUR GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY.
Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In our market area, we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Some of our competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we, have greater name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business, and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market area. The greater resources and deposit and loan products offered by some of our competitors may limit our ability to increase our interest-earning assets. For additional information see "Business of Magyar Bank--Competition."
IF WE DECLARE DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK, MAGYAR BANCORP, MHC WILL BE PROHIBITED FROM WAIVING THE RECEIPT OF DIVIDENDS BY CURRENT FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD POLICY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOWER DIVIDENDS FOR ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.
The Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will have the authority to declare dividends on its common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. So long as Magyar Bancorp, MHC is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, if Magyar Bancorp, Inc. pays dividends to its stockholders, it also will be required to pay dividends to Magyar Bancorp, MHC, unless Magyar Bancorp, MHC is permitted by the Federal Reserve Board to waive the receipt of dividends. The Federal Reserve Board's current position is to not permit a mutual holding company to waive dividends declared by its subsidiary. Accordingly, because dividends will be required to be paid to Magyar Bancorp, MHC along with all other stockholders, the amount of dividends available for all other shareholders will be less than if Magyar Bancorp, MHC were permitted to waive the receipt of dividends.
RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
THE FUTURE PRICE OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY BE LESS THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE IN THE OFFERING.
We cannot assure you that if you purchase shares of common stock in the stock offering you will later be able to sell them at or above the purchase price in the stock offering. In numerous recent cases, shares of common stock issued by newly converted savings institutions
or mutual holding companies have traded below the price at which such shares were sold in the stock offering conducted by those companies. The final aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock in the offering will be based on an independent appraisal. The appraisal is not intended, and should not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of common stock. The valuation is based on estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time. After our shares begin trading, the trading price of our common stock will be determined by the marketplace, and may be influenced by many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the overall performance of the economy, investor perceptions of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and the outlook for the financial institutions industry in general.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF SHARES TO THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION WILL DILUTE YOUR OWNERSHIP INTERESTS AND ADVERSELY AFFECT NET INCOME IN FISCAL YEAR 2006.
We intend to establish a charitable foundation in connection with the offering. We will make a contribution to the Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation (the "Charitable Foundation") in the form of shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock and $500,000 in cash for an aggregate total contribution equal to 6.53% of the gross proceeds of the stock offering at the midpoint of the offering range. The common stock portion of the contribution, at the midpoint of the offering range, will be 79,200 shares, which equals 4.00% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering. The aggregate contribution will also have an adverse effect on our net income for the quarter and year in which we make the issuance and contribution to the Charitable Foundation. The after-tax expense of the contribution will reduce net income in our 2006 fiscal year by approximately $776,000 at the midpoint of the offering range. Persons purchasing shares in the stock offering will have their ownership and voting interests in Magyar Bancorp, Inc. diluted by 1.77% due to the issuance of shares of common stock to the Charitable Foundation.
OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION MAY NOT BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE, WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR PROFITS.
We believe that the contribution to the Charitable Foundation will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service will grant tax-exempt status to the Charitable Foundation. If the contribution is not deductible, we would not receive any tax benefit from the contribution. In addition, even if the contribution is tax deductible, we may not have sufficient profits to be able to use the deduction fully.
OUR STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE AND BENEFIT PLANS WILL INCREASE OUR COSTS, WHICH WILL REDUCE OUR INCOME.
We anticipate that our employee stock ownership plan will purchase 8.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation, and that Magyar Bank's existing 401(k) plan will purchase shares of common stock in the offering to the extent available. Assuming the employee stock ownership plan purchases all of its shares at $10.00 per share, the cost of acquiring the shares of common stock will be between $1.4 million at the minimum of the offering range and $2.2 million at the adjusted maximum of the offering range. We will record annual employee stock ownership plan expenses in an amount equal to the fair
value of shares of common stock committed to be released to employees. If shares of common stock appreciate in value over time, compensation expense relating to the employee stock ownership plan will increase.
We also intend to adopt a stock-based incentive plan after the stock offering under which plan participants would be awarded shares of our common stock (at no cost to them) or options to purchase shares of our common stock. If the stock-based incentive plan is implemented and approved by stockholders within one year of the completion of the stock offering, the number of shares of common stock or options granted under any initial stock-based incentive plan may not exceed 4% and 10%, respectively, of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. If we award shares of common stock or grant options in excess of these amounts, our costs would increase further.
The shares of common stock granted under the stock-based incentive plan will be expensed by us over their vesting period at the fair market value of the shares on the date they are awarded. If the shares of common stock to be granted under the plan are repurchased in the open market (rather than issued directly from authorized but unissued shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.) and cost the same as the purchase price of our common stock issued in the offering, the reduction to stockholders' equity due to the plan would be between $700,000 at the minimum of the offering range and $1.1 million at the adjusted maximum of the offering range. To the extent we repurchase shares of common stock in the open market to fund the grants of shares under the plan, and the price of such shares exceeds the offering price of $10.00 per share, the reduction to stockholders' equity would exceed the range described above. Conversely, to the extent the price of such shares is below the offering price of $10.00 per share, the reduction to stockholders' equity would be less than the range described above.
Finally, new accounting rules require public companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options, by their first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. When we record an expense for the grant of options using the fair value method as described in the new accounting rules, we will incur significant compensation and benefits expense. We estimate this annual expense would be approximately $220,000 on a pre-tax basis, assuming the adjusted maximum number of shares is sold in the offering.
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS MAY DILUTE YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST.
We intend to adopt a stock-based incentive plan following the stock offering. This stock-based incentive plan will be funded through either open market purchases, if permitted, or from the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock. Stockholders would experience a reduction in ownership interest (including shares held by Magyar Bancorp, MHC) totaling 6.4% in the event newly issued shares of our common stock are used to fund stock options or awards of shares of common stock under the plan in an amount equal to 10% and 4%, respectively, of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation.
WE HAVE BROAD DISCRETION IN USING THE PROCEEDS OF THE STOCK OFFERING. OUR FAILURE TO EFFECTIVELY USE SUCH PROCEEDS COULD REDUCE OUR PROFITS.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will use a portion of the net proceeds to finance the purchase of common stock in the offering by the employee stock ownership plan and may use the remaining net proceeds to pay dividends to stockholders, repurchase shares of common stock, purchase securities, deposit funds in Magyar Bank, acquire other financial services companies or for other general corporate purposes. Magyar Bank may use the proceeds it receives to establish or acquire new branches, fund new loans and offer new products and services, purchase securities, or for general corporate purposes. In addition, we intend to expand our presence inside and outside our primary market area through DE NOVO branching and, possibly, acquisitions, which may negatively affect our earnings until these branches achieve profitability. We have not, however, identified specific amounts of proceeds for any of these purposes and we will have significant flexibility in determining the amount of net proceeds we apply to different uses and the timing of such applications. Our failure to utilize these funds effectively could reduce our profitability. We have not established a timetable for the effective deployment of the proceeds, and we cannot predict how long we will require to effectively deploy the proceeds.
THERE MAY BE A LIMITED TRADING MARKET IN OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, WHICH MAY HINDER YOUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND MAY LOWER THE MARKET PRICE OF THE STOCK.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has never issued common stock and, therefore, there is no current trading market for the shares of common stock. We expect that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. It is possible that an active and liquid trading market in shares of our common stock will not develop. Persons purchasing shares may not be able to sell their shares when they desire if a liquid trading market does not develop or sell them at a price equal to or above the initial purchase price of $10.00 per share even if a liquid trading market develops. This limited trading market for our common stock may reduce the market value of the common stock and make it difficult to buy or sell our shares on short notice. For additional information see "Market for the Common Stock."
PERSONS WHO PURCHASE STOCK IN THE STOCK OFFERING WILL OWN A MINORITY OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.'S COMMON STOCK AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE VOTING CONTROL OVER MOST MATTERS PUT TO A VOTE OF STOCKHOLDERS.
Public stockholders will own a minority of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock. As a result, stockholders other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC will not be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will own a majority of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock after the offering and, through its Board of Directors, will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of stockholders. The same directors and officers who manage Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank also manage Magyar Bancorp, MHC. Finally, Magyar Bancorp, MHC may exercise its voting control to prevent a sale or merger transaction in which stockholders could receive a premium for their shares.
OUR STOCK VALUE MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY FEDERAL REGULATIONS RESTRICTING TAKEOVERS AND BY OUR MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS RESTRICTING TAKEOVERS. Federal law prohibits any person from acquiring more than 10% of our common stock without the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board. See "Restrictions on the Acquisition of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank" for a discussion of applicable Federal Reserve Board regulations regarding acquisitions.
THE MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE. Magyar Bancorp, MHC, as the majority stockholder of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., will be able to control the outcome of virtually all matters presented to stockholders for their approval, including a proposal to acquire Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Accordingly, Magyar Bancorp, MHC can prevent the sale of control or merger of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or its subsidiaries even if such a transaction were favored by a majority of the public stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. In addition, regulatory restrictions applicable to Magyar Bancorp, MHC may prohibit a sale of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. unless the mutual holding company first undertakes a second-step conversion.

HOW WE INTEND TO USE THE PROCEEDS FROM THE STOCK OFFERING
Although we will not be able to determine the amount of actual net proceeds we will receive from the sale of shares of common stock until the stock offering is completed, we anticipate that the net proceeds will be between $16.1 million and $21.9 million, or $25.3 million if the offering is increased by 15%.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. intends to distribute the net proceeds from the stock offering as follows:
1,683,000 SHARES 1,980,000 SHARES AT 2,277,000 SHARES AT 2,618,550 SHARES AT MINIMUM OF MIDPOINT OF MAXIMUM OF AT ADJUSTED MAXIMUM OFFERING RANGE OFFERING RANGE OFFERING RANGE OF OFFERING RANGE (1) ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- PERCENT PERCENT PERCENT PERCENT OF NET OF NET OF NET OF NET AMOUNT PROCEEDS AMOUNT PROCEEDS AMOUNT PROCEEDS AMOUNT PROCEEDS ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Offering proceeds.................. $ 16,830 $ 19,800 $ 22,770 $ 26,186 Less: offering expenses............

The net proceeds may vary because total expenses relating to the reorganization and the stock offering may be more or less than our estimates. For example, our expenses would increase if a syndicated community offering were used to sell shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering and any community offering. Payments for shares made through withdrawals from existing deposit accounts will not result in the receipt of new funds for investment but will result in a reduction of Magyar Bank's deposits. In all instances, Magyar Bank will receive at least 50% of the net proceeds of the offering.
We are undertaking the reorganization and the stock offering at this time to increase our capital to expand and diversify our business. For further information, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.--Business Strategy." The stock offering proceeds will increase our capital resources and the amount of funds available for lending and investment purposes. The proceeds will also give us greater flexibility to diversify operations and expand the products and services we offer to our customers.
MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. MAY USE THE PROCEEDS IT RETAINS FROM THE OFFERING:
o to finance the purchase of common stock in the offering by Magyar Bank's employee stock ownership plan (between $1.4 million and $1.9 million);
o to invest in securities;
o to deposit funds in Magyar Bank;
o to pay dividends to its stockholders;
o to repurchase its shares of common stock;
o to finance acquisitions of financial institutions or branches and other financial services businesses, although no specific transactions are being considered at this time; and
o for general corporate purposes
During the first year following the stock offering, we may be prohibited from repurchasing shares of our common stock, except to fund benefit plans. The loans that will be used to fund the purchases by the employee stock ownership plan will accrue interest.
MAGYAR BANK MAY USE THE PROCEEDS IT RECEIVES FROM THE OFFERING:
o to expand its retail banking franchise by establishing DE NOVO branches and, potentially, by acquiring existing branches or by acquiring other financial institutions or other financial services companies, although no acquisitions are specifically being considered at this time;
o to fund new loans;
o to invest in securities;
o to repay borrowings; and
o for general corporate purposes.
The use of the proceeds outlined above may change, based on changes in interest rates, equity markets, laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry, our relative position in the financial services industry, the attractiveness of potential acquisitions to expand our operations, and overall market conditions.
Except for the loan to the employee stock ownership plan and the establishment of the DE NOVO branches discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, no determination has been made by either Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank as to specific amounts of the net proceeds to be deployed for any of the purposes described above. However, it is expected that initially a substantial portion of the net proceeds will be invested in short-term investment securities and other liquid investments.
OUR POLICY REGARDING DIVIDENDS
Following completion of the stock offering, our Board of Directors will have the authority to declare dividends on our common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. However, no decision has been made with respect to the payment of dividends. In determining whether and in what amount to pay a cash dividend, the Board is expected to take into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s and
Magyar Bank's financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations, general economic conditions, regulatory restrictions that affect the payment of dividends by Magyar Bank to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and the receipt from the Federal Reserve Board of approval for a waiver of dividends to our mutual holding company. No assurances can be given that any dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. Special cash dividends, stock dividends or returns of capital, to the extent permitted by applicable policy and regulation, may be paid in addition to, or in lieu of, regular cash dividends. Accordingly, it is anticipated that any cash distributions made by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to its stockholders would be treated as cash dividends and not as a non-taxable return of capital for federal and state tax purposes.
So long as Magyar Bancorp, MHC is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, if Magyar Bancorp, Inc. pays dividends to its stockholders, it also will be required to pay dividends to Magyar Bancorp, MHC, unless Magyar Bancorp, MHC is permitted by the Federal Reserve Board to waive the receipt of dividends. The Federal Reserve Board's current position is to not permit a bank holding company to waive dividends declared by its subsidiary. See "Supervision and Regulation--Holding Company Regulation--Federal Regulation."
In the future, dividends from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may depend, in part, upon the receipt of dividends from Magyar Bank, because Magyar Bancorp, Inc. initially will have no source of income other than earnings from the investment of net proceeds retained from the sale of shares of common stock and interest earned on Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s loan to the employee stock ownership plan. Under New Jersey law, Magyar Bank may not pay a cash dividend unless, after the payment of such dividend, its capital stock will not be impaired and either it will have a statutory surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock, or the payment of such dividend will not reduce its statutory surplus.
MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has never issued capital stock. An application has been filed with Nasdaq and we expect that our shares of common stock will be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MGYR." To list our stock on the Nasdaq National Market, we are required to have at least three broker-dealers who will make a market in our common stock. Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. has advised us that it intends to make a market in our common stock following the offering, but it is under no obligation to do so. While we will attempt before completion of the offering to obtain commitments from at least two other broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such commitments.
The development of an active trading market depends on the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control, or that of any market maker. The number of active buyers and sellers of the shares of common stock at any particular time may be limited. Under such circumstances, you could have difficulty selling your shares of common stock on short notice and, therefore, you should not view the shares of common stock as a short-term investment. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the common stock will develop or that, if it develops, it will continue. Nor can we assure you that if you purchase shares of common stock, you will be able to sell them at or above $10.00 per share.
REGULATORY CAPITAL COMPLIANCE
At June 30, 2005, Magyar Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The following table sets forth our compliance, as of June 30, 2005, with the regulatory capital standards, on a historical and pro forma basis, assuming that the indicated number of shares of common stock were sold as of such date at $10.00 per share, and Magyar Bank received estimated net proceeds in an amount such that Magyar Bank will have a 10% regulatory tangible and core capital ratio upon completion of the offering. Accordingly, proceeds received by Magyar Bank have been assumed to equal $8.8 million, $8.8 million, $8.8 million and $9.4 million at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, respectively. These amounts represent the proceeds assumed to be contributed to Magyar Bank by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. less shares of common stock acquired by the employee stock option plan, the stock-based incentive plan and the cash contribution to the charitable foundation.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table presents the historical capitalization of Magyar Bank at June 30, 2005, and the pro forma consolidated capitalization of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. after giving effect to the stock offering, based upon the sale of the number of shares of common stock indicated in the table and the other assumptions set forth under "Pro Forma Data."

(FOOTNOTES CONTINUED ON FOLLOWING PAGE)
(6) Assumes that 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering
and issued to the Charitable Foundation will be purchased by the employee
stock ownership plan and that the funds used to acquire the employee stock
ownership plan shares will be borrowed from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The shares
of common stock acquired by the employee stock ownership plan are reflected
as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Magyar Bank will provide the funds
to repay the employee stock ownership plan loan. See "Management--Benefit
Plans."
(7) Assumes that subsequent to the offering, 4% of the shares of common stock
sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation are purchased
(with funds provided by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.) by the stock-based incentive
plan in the open market at a price equal to the price for which the shares
are sold in the offering. The shares of common stock to be purchased by the
stock-based incentive plan is reflected as a reduction of stockholders'
equity. See "Pro Forma Data" and "Management." The plan of reorganization
permits Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to adopt one or more stock benefit plans that
award stock or stock options, in an aggregate amount up to 25% of the
number of shares of common stock held by persons other than Magyar Bancorp,
MHC. The stock-based incentive plan will not be implemented for at least
six months after the stock offering and until it has been approved by
stockholders.
(8) Total stockholders' equity equals GAAP capital.
PRO FORMA DATA
We cannot determine the actual net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock until the stock offering is completed. However, we estimate that net proceeds will be between $16.1 million and $21.9 million, or $25.3 million if the offering range is increased by 15%, based upon the following assumptions:
o we will sell all shares of common stock in the subscription and community offerings;
o our employee stock ownership plan will purchase 8% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation with a loan from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The loan will be repaid in substantially equal principal and interest payments over a period of 30 years;
o expenses of the reorganization and the stock offering, other than fees and expenses to be paid to Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., are estimated to be $629,000;
o 150,000 shares of common stock will be purchased by our executive officers and directors, and their immediate families; and
o Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. will receive fees equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares sold in the offering, excluding any shares purchased by any employee benefit plans, the Charitable Foundation and any of our directors, officers or employees or members of their immediate families.
We calculated the pro forma consolidated net income and stockholders' equity of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended September 30, 2004 and the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as if the shares of common stock had been sold at the beginning of those periods and the net proceeds had been invested at 3.69% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended September 30, 2004, which assumes reinvestment of the net proceeds at a rate equal to the one-year United States Treasury yield for the respective periods. We assumed a tax rate of 40.00% for both periods. This results in an annualized after-tax yield of 2.22% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and for the year ended September 30, 2004.
We calculated historical and pro forma per share amounts by dividing historical and pro forma amounts of consolidated net income and stockholders' equity by the indicated number of shares of common stock. We adjusted these figures to give effect to the shares of common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. We computed per share amounts for each period as if the common stock was outstanding at the beginning of the periods, but we did not adjust per share historical or pro forma stockholders' equity to reflect the earnings on the estimated net proceeds.
The pro forma table gives effect to the implementation of a stock-based incentive plan. Subject to the receipt of stockholder approvals, we have assumed that a stock-based incentive plan will grant restricted shares of common stock in an amount equal to 4% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. In preparing the
table below, we assumed that stockholder approval has been obtained and that the stock-based incentive plan purchases in the open market a number of shares equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation, at the same price for which they were sold in the offering. We assume that shares of common stock granted under the plan vest over a five-year period.
Subject to receipt of stockholder approval, we also have assumed that the stock-based incentive plan will grant options to acquire common stock equal to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. In preparing the table below, we also assumed that stockholder approval was obtained, that the exercise price of the stock options and the market price of the stock at the date of grant were $10.00 per share and that the stock options had a term of ten years and vested over five years. We applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate a grant-date fair value of $3.83 for each option. In addition to the terms of the options described above, the Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporated an estimated volatility rate of 16.65% for the common stock based on an index of publicly traded mutual holding companies, a dividend yield of zero, an expected option life of 10 years and a risk free interest rate of 3.97%.
As discussed under "How We Intend to Use the Proceeds from the Offering," Magyar Bancorp, Inc. intends to retain 50% of the net proceeds from the offering and contribute the remaining net proceeds from the offering to Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will use a portion of the proceeds it retains to make a loan to the employee stock ownership plan, and retain the rest of the proceeds for future use.
The pro forma table does not give effect to:
o withdrawals from deposit accounts for the purpose of purchasing shares of common stock in the offering;
o Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s results of operations after the offering; or
o changes in the market price of the common stock after the offering.
The following pro forma information may not represent the financial effects of the offering at the date on which the offering actually occurs and you should not use the table to indicate future results of operations. Pro forma stockholders' equity represents the difference between the stated amount of assets and liabilities of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We did not increase or decrease stockholders' equity to reflect the difference between the carrying value of loans, securities and other assets and their market value. Pro forma stockholders' equity is not intended to represent the fair market value of the shares of common stock, and may be different than the amounts that would be available for distribution to stockholders if we liquidated. Pro forma stockholders' equity does not give effect to the impact of tax bad debt reserves in the event we are liquidated.

(1) As adjusted to give effect to a 15% increase in the number of shares
outstanding after the offering which could occur due to an increase in the
maximum of the independent valuation as a result of regulatory
considerations, demand for the shares, or changes in market conditions or
general financial and economic conditions following the commencement of the
offering.
(2) It is assumed that 8% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the
Charitable Foundation will be purchased by the employee stock ownership
plan. For purposes of this table, the funds used to acquire such shares are
assumed to have been borrowed by the employee stock ownership plan from
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The amount to be borrowed is reflected as a reduction
of stockholders' equity. Magyar Bank intends to make annual contributions
to the employee stock ownership plan in an amount at least equal to the
principal and interest requirement of the debt. Magyar Bank's total annual
payment of the employee stock ownership plan debt is based upon 30 equal
annual installments of principal and interest. The pro forma net earnings
information makes the following assumptions: (a) Magyar Bank's contribution
to the employee stock ownership plan is equivalent to the debt service
requirement for the period presented and was made at the end of the period;
(b) 3,501 shares, 4,118 shares, 4,736 shares and 5,447 shares at the
minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range,
respectively (based upon a 30-year loan term), were committed to be
released during the nine months ended June 30, 2005, at an average fair
value equal to the price for which the shares are sold in the offering in
accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6; and (c) only the
employee stock ownership plan shares committed to be released were
considered outstanding for purposes of the net loss per share calculations.
(3) Gives effect to the stock-based incentive plan expected to be adopted
following the offering. We have assumed that this plan acquires a number of
shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering and
issued to the Charitable Foundation, either through open market purchases
or from authorized but unissued shares of common stock or treasury stock of
Magyar Bancorp, Inc., if any. Funds used by the stock-based incentive plan
to purchase the shares will be contributed by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. In
calculating the pro forma effect of the stock-based incentive plan, it is
assumed that the shares were acquired by the plan in open market purchases
at the beginning of the period presented for a purchase price equal to the
price for which the shares are sold in the offering, and that 15% of the
amount contributed was an amortized expense (20% annually based upon a
five-year vesting period) during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. There
can be no assurance that the actual purchase price of the shares granted
under the stock-based incentive plan will be equal to the $10.00
subscription price. If shares are acquired from authorized but unissued
shares of common stock or from treasury shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., our
net loss per share and stockholders' equity per share will decrease. This
will also have a dilutive effect of approximately 1.81% (at the maximum of
the offering range) on the ownership interest of stockholders. The impact
on pro forma net loss per share and pro forma stockholders' equity per
share is not material. The following table shows pro forma net income per
share and pro forma stockholders' equity per share, assuming all the shares
to fund the stock awards are obtained from authorized but unissued shares.
AT OR FOR THE NINE MONTHS ADJUSTED ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 MINIMUM MIDPOINT MAXIMUM MAXIMUM -------------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Pro forma net income per share $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ 0.03 Pro forma stockholders' equity per share 9.56 8.70 8.06 7.51 |
(4) Gives effect to the granting of options pursuant to the stock-based
incentive plan, which is expected to be adopted by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
following the offering and presented to stockholders for approval not
earlier than six months after the completion of the offering. We have
assumed that options will be granted to acquire common stock equal to 10%
of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation.
In calculating the pro forma effect of the stock options, it is assumed
that the exercise price of the stock options and the trading price of the
stock at the date of grant were $10.00 per share, and the estimated
grant-date fair value pursuant to the application of the Black-Scholes
option pricing model was $3.83 for each option. The pro forma net income
assumes that the options granted under the stock option plan have a value
of $3.83 per option, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing formula using the following assumptions: (i) the trading price on
date of grant was $10.00 per share; (ii) exercise price is equal to the
trading price on the date of grant; (iii) dividend yield of 0%; (iv)
expected life of 10 years; (v) expected volatility of 16.65%; and (vi)
risk-free interest rate of 3.97%. Because there is currently no market for
Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock, the assumed expected volatility is
based on the SNL Financial MHC index. If the fair market value per share on
the date of grant is different than $10.00, or if the assumptions used in
the option pricing formula are different from those used in preparing this
pro forma data, the value of options and the related expense recognized
will be different. The aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options
was amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting
period of the options. There can be no assurance that the actual exercise
price of the stock options will be equal to the $10.00 price per share. If
a portion of the shares to satisfy the exercise of options under the
stock-based incentive plan is obtained from the issuance of authorized but
unissued shares, our net income and stockholders' equity per share will
decrease. This also will have a dilutive effect of up to 4.40% on the
ownership interest of persons who purchase common stock in the offering.
(5) The retained earnings of Magyar Bank will continue to be substantially
restricted after the offering. See "Supervision and Regulation--Federal
Banking Regulation."

(1) As adjusted to give effect to a 15% increase in the number of shares
outstanding after the offering which could occur due to an increase in the
maximum of the independent valuation as a result of regulatory
considerations, demand for the shares, or changes in market conditions or
general financial and economic conditions following the commencement of the
offering.
(2) It is assumed that 8% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the
Charitable Foundation will be purchased by the employee stock ownership
plan. For purposes of this table, the funds used to acquire such shares are
assumed to have been borrowed by the employee stock ownership plan from
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The amount to be borrowed is reflected as a reduction
of stockholders' equity. Magyar Bank intends to make annual contributions
to the employee stock ownership plan in an amount at least equal to the
principal and interest requirement of the debt. Magyar Bank's total annual
payment of the employee stock ownership plan debt is based upon 30 equal
annual installments of principal and interest. The pro forma net earnings
information makes the following assumptions: (a) Magyar Bank's contribution
to the employee stock ownership plan is equivalent to the debt service
requirement for the period presented and was made at the end of the period;
(b) 4,668 shares, 5,491 shares, 6,315 shares and 7,262 shares at the
minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range,
respectively (based upon a 30-year loan term), were committed to be
released during the year ended September 30, 2004, at an average fair value
equal to the price for which the shares are sold in the offering in
accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6; and (c) only the
employee stock ownership plan shares committed to be released were
considered outstanding for purposes of the net income per share
calculations.
(3) Gives effect to the stock-based incentive plan expected to be adopted
following the offering. We have assumed that this plan acquires a number of
shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering and
issued to the Charitable Foundation, either through open market purchases
or from authorized but unissued shares of common stock or treasury stock of
Magyar Bancorp, Inc., if any. Funds used by the stock-based incentive plan
to purchase the shares will be contributed by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. In
calculating the pro forma effect of the stock-based incentive plan, it is
assumed that the shares were acquired by the plan in open market purchases
at the beginning of the period presented for a purchase price equal to the
price for which the shares are sold in the offering, and that 20% of the
amount contributed was an amortized expense (based upon a five-year vesting
period) during the year ended September 30, 2004. There can be no assurance
that the actual purchase price of the shares granted under the stock-based
incentive plan will be equal to the $10.00 subscription price. If shares
are acquired from authorized but unissued shares of common stock or from
treasury shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., our net income per share and
stockholders' equity per share will decrease. This will also have a
dilutive effect of approximately 1.81% (at the maximum of the offering
range) on the ownership interest of stockholders. The impact on pro forma
net income per share and pro forma stockholders' equity per share is not
material. The following table shows pro forma net income per share and pro
forma stockholders' equity per share, assuming all the shares to fund the
stock awards are obtained from authorized but unissued shares.
AT OR FOR THE NINE MONTHS ADJUSTED ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 MINIMUM MIDPOINT MAXIMUM MAXIMUM -------------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Pro forma net income per share $ 0.18 $ 0.16 $ 0.14 $ 0.13 Pro forma stockholders' equity per share 9.55 8.69 8.05 7.50 |
(4) Gives effect to the granting of options pursuant to the stock-based
incentive plan, which is expected to be adopted by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
following the offering and presented to stockholders for approval not
earlier than six months after the completion of the offering. We have
assumed that options will be granted to acquire common stock equal to 10%
of shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. In
calculating the pro forma effect of the stock options, it is assumed that
the exercise price of the stock options and the trading price of the stock
at the date of grant were $10.00 per share, and the estimated grant-date
fair value pursuant to the application of the Black-Scholes option pricing
model was $3.83 for each option. The pro forma net income assumes that the
options granted under the stock option plan have a value of $3.83 per
option, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula
using the following assumptions: (i) the trading price on date of grant was
$10.00 per share; (ii) exercise price is equal to the trading price on the
date of grant; (iii) dividend yield of 0%; (iv) expected life of 10 years;
(v) expected volatility of 16.65%; and (vi) risk-free interest rate of
3.97%. Because there is currently no market for Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s
common stock, the assumed expected volatility is based on the SNL Financial
MHC index. If the fair market value per share on the date of grant is
different than $10.00, or if the assumptions used in the option pricing
formula are different from those used in preparing this pro forma data, the
value of options and the related expense recognized will be different. The
aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options was amortized to
expense on a straight-line basis over a five-year vesting period of the
options. Under the above assumptions, the adoption of the stock-based
incentive plan will result in no additional shares under the treasury stock
method for purposes of calculating earnings per share. There can be no
assurance that the actual exercise price of the stock options will be equal
to the $10.00 price per share. If a portion of the shares to satisfy the
exercise of options under the stock-based incentive plan is obtained from
the issuance of authorized but unissued shares, our net income per share
and stockholders' equity per share will decrease. This also will have a
dilutive effect of up to 4.40% on the ownership interest of persons who
purchase common stock in the offering.
(5) The retained earnings of Magyar Bank will continue to be substantially
restricted after the offering. See "Supervision and Regulation--Federal
Banking Regulation."
COMPARISON OF VALUATION AND PRO FORMA INFORMATION
WITH AND WITHOUT THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
As reflected in the table below, if the Charitable Foundation is not established and funded as part of the reorganization, FinPro, Inc. estimates that the pro forma valuation of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. would be greater and, as a result, a greater number of shares of common stock would be issued in the stock offering. At the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the valuation range, the pro forma valuation of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is $38.1 million, $44.8 million, $51.5 million and $59.2 million with the Charitable Foundation, as compared to $39.4 million, $46.3 million, $53.3 million and $61.3 million, respectively, without the Charitable Foundation. There is no assurance that if the Charitable Foundation were not formed, the appraisal prepared at that time would conclude that the pro forma market value of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. would be the same as that estimated in the table below. Any appraisal prepared at that time would be based on the facts and circumstances existing at that time, including, among other things, market and economic conditions.
For comparative purposes only, set forth below are certain pricing ratios and financial data and ratios at and for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and adjusted maximum of the offering range, assuming the offering was completed at June 30, 2005, with and without the Charitable Foundation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
This section is intended to help potential investors understand the financial performance of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition and our results of operations at and for the periods presented. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements that appear elsewhere in this prospectus.
OVERVIEW
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. was formed in connection with our reorganization and has not yet commenced operations. Our results of operations will be dependent on the results of operations of Magyar Bank, which will be a wholly-owned subsidiary. Magyar Bank's results of operations are primarily dependent upon its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million, or 18.5%, to $7.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The primary reason for the improvement in our net interest and dividend income was a $27.5 million, or 10.6%, increase in our average interest earning assets, to $287.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, reflecting strong demand for loans in our primary market area due to the continued low interest rate environment. While the low interest rate environment of recent years is not expected to continue, any negative impact of rising interest rates on our net interest rate spread would be mitigated to some extent by the net proceeds from the offering which will support the continued growth of our interest-earning assets in future periods.
Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, fees collected on deposit accounts, investment and loan sales, loan servicing income, and income from our products and services. Non-interest expense consists mainly of salary and benefits expense, net occupancy expense, data processing expense, advertising and promotion expense and other operating expenses. Results of operations are also impacted by changes in interest rates, economic conditions, competition and changes in government policies, accounting changes and regulatory actions.
ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Following the completion of the offering, we anticipate that our non-interest expense will increase as a result of the increased costs associated with managing a public company, increased compensation expenses associated with the purchases of shares of common stock by our employee stock ownership plan, the adoption of the stock-based incentive plan, if approved by our stockholders, and the costs of funding the charitable foundation.
Assuming that the adjusted maximum number of shares is sold in the offering (2,618,550 shares):
o the employee stock ownership plan will acquire 217,863 shares of common stock with a $2,178,630 loan that is expected to be repaid over 30 years, resulting in an annual expense (pre-tax) of approximately $72,600 (assuming that the common stock maintains a value of $10.00 per share; the ultimate expense would be higher if the stock price is higher);
o the stock-based incentive plan would grant options to purchase shares equal to 10% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation), or 272,329 shares to eligible participants, which would result in compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. Assuming the market price of the common stock is $10.00 per share; the options are granted with an exercise price of $10.00 per share; the dividend yield on the stock is zero; the expected option life is 10 years; the risk free interest rate is 3.97% (based on the ten-year Treasury rate) and the volatility rate on the common stock is 16.65% (based on an index of publicly traded mutual holding company institutions), the estimated grant-date fair value of the options utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing analysis is $3.83 per option granted. Assuming this value is amortized over the five year vesting period, the corresponding annual expense (pre-tax) associated with the stock options would be approximately $208,600;
o the stock-based incentive plan would award a number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the charitable foundation, or 108,932 shares, to eligible participants, which would be expensed as the awards vest. Assuming that all shares are awarded under the stock-based incentive plan at a price of $10.00 per share, and that the awards vest over a five year period, the corresponding annual expense (pre-tax) associated with shares awarded under the stock-based incentive plan would be approximately $18,000; and
o the contribution to the charitable foundation will be approximately $500,000 in cash and 104,742 shares, the cost of which will be expensed in the quarter during which the offering is completed.
The actual expense that will be recorded for the employee stock ownership plan will be determined by the market value of the shares of common stock as they are released to employees over the term of the loan, and whether the loan is repaid faster than its contractual term. Accordingly, increases in the stock price above $10.00 per share will increase the total employee stock ownership plan expense, and any accelerated repayment of the loan will increase the annual employee stock ownership plan expense. Further, the actual expense of the stock-based incentive plan will be determined by the fair market value of the stock on the grant date, which might be greater than $10.00 per share. The actual expense of the stock-based incentive plan will be determined by the grant-date fair value of the options which will depend on a number of factors, including the valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policy upon which our financial condition and results of operation depend, and which involves the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, is the allowance for loan losses are as follows
The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover credit losses in the loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.
As a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans. Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties. Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly affect the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined. The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.
Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates by management that may be susceptible to significant change based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.
The evaluation has a specific and general component. The specific component relates to loans that are delinquent or otherwise identified as a problem loan through the application of our loan review process and our loan grading system. All such loans are evaluated individually, with principal consideration given to the value of the collateral securing the loan. Specific allowances are established as required by this analysis. The general component is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general component of the allowance for loan losses.
Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2005 AND JUNE 30, 2004
Total assets increased $38.0 million, or 13.2%, to $325.1 million at June 30, 2005 from $287.1 million at September 30, 2004. The increase reflected continued substantial growth in net loans, partially offset by a decrease in securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, as well as a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. The growth in net loans was primarily funded by higher deposits, which increased to $259.1 million at June 30, 2005 from $224.0 million at September 30, 2004.
Net loans increased $54.8 million, or 28.3%, to $248.3 million at June 30, 2005 from $193.5 million at September 30, 2004. Growth in loans was highest in the commercial real estate loan portfolio, which increased $29.8 million, or 149.7%, and in the construction loan portfolio, which increased $31.6 million, or 571.7%. These increases reflected continued strong economic conditions in our primary market area as well as our continued efforts to diversify our lending activities and improve our net interest rate spread by increasing our origination of these generally higher-yielding loans. In addition, the increased balance of construction loans reflected the hiring of a seasoned construction loan officer in January 2005 and the increase in commercial real estate and commercial business lending reflected the hiring of a seasoned commercial loan officer in April 2005. Finally, the increases also were due to somewhat reduced competition from community banks in our market area, as a highly regarded local community bank was acquired by a substantially larger commercial bank during the period. At June 30, 2005, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans, in the aggregate, represented 42.7% of our total loans, compared to 27.1% of our total loans at September 30, 2004. While one- to four-family residential mortgage loans also increased to $118.7 million at June 30, 2005 from $108.7 million at September 30, 2004, these loans decreased as a percentage of our total loans to 47.3% at June 30, 2005 from 55.5% at September 30, 2004.
Securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity decreased $9.1 million, or 29.2%, and $6.5 million, or 15.3%, respectively, reflecting principal repayments and prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and calls of federal agency obligations in the continued low market interest rate environment. The decrease also reflected the deployment of investment securities proceeds into loans, as discussed above.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.3 million, or 25.3%, to $3.7 million at June 30, 2005 from $5.0 million at September 30, 2004. The decrease reflected routine fluctuations in cash balances as well the deployment of available cash to support loan growth. Our holdings of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York increased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2005 from $1.7 million at September 30, 2004, resulting from increases in advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which totaled $26.8 million at June 30, 2005.
Total deposits increased $35.1 million, or 15.7%, to $259.1 million at June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily concentrated in our certificates of deposit, which increased to $113.0 million at June 30, 2005 from $89.5 million at September 30, 2004. Federal Home Loan Bank advances also increased to $26.8 million from $25.5 million. We increasingly used such
advances to "match fund" a portion of our longer-term loans in order to reduce our interest rate risk. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements increased slightly to $10.0 million from $9.5 million.
Total retained earnings increased $47,000, or 0.2%, to $23.2 million at June 30, 2005 from $23.1 million at September 30, 2004. The increase reflected net income of $106,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, which was partially offset by a $59,000 increase in our other comprehensive losses due to unrealized losses on securities available for sale at June 30, 2005. The other comprehensive losses due to unrealized losses on securities available for sale were due to changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased; management has concluded that none of the securities have impairments that are other than temporary.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004
NET INCOME. Net income decreased to $106,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $571,000 for the prior year period. The decrease resulted primarily from higher noninterest expense and lower noninterest income, which more than offset increased net interest and dividend income.
NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Net interest and dividend income increased $1.1 million, or 18.5%, to $7.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase reflected a $4.4 million increase in our net interest earning assets, as the average balance of our total interest earning assets increased to $287.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $259.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $27.5 million or 10.6%. In addition, the improvement in net interest and dividend income reflected a higher interest rate spread, which increased to 3.21% from 3.02%.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased $2.0 million, or 20.9%, to $11.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $9.4 million for the prior year period. The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of our interest earning assets to $287.1 million from $259.6 million, as well as an improvement in the average yield on such assets to 5.26% from 4.81%. Interest earned on loans increased to $9.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $7.1 million for the prior year period, reflecting a $41.5 million, or 23.6%, increase in the average balance of our loans as well as a 33 basis point increase in the average yield on such loans to 5.74% from 5.41%. The improved yield on our loans reflected the higher balance of higher yielding commercial real estate and construction loans, as we continued our efforts to increase these loans as a percentage of our overall portfolio. Interest earned on our investment securities decreased $296,000, or 13.3%, reflecting a $10.4 million, or 13.4%, decrease in the average balance of such securities, which more than offset a 10 basis point increase in the average yield on such securities to 3.88% from 3.78%. The decreased average balance of our investment securities reflected the deployment of proceeds from prepayments or repayments into higher yielding loans.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $813,000, or 25.4%, to $4.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $3.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in interest expense was due to a $23.0 million, or 9.7%, increase in the average
balance of interest bearing liabilities to $260.6 million from $237.6 million. In addition, the average cost of such liabilities increased to 2.05% from 1.80%. The interest paid on deposits increased to $3.0 million from $2.4 million, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such deposits to $226.3 million from $215.9 million, as well as an increase in the average cost of such deposits to 1.74% from 1.50%. The interest paid on time deposits and NOW accounts both increased, reflecting higher average balances of these liabilities as well as the higher cost of these liabilities in the higher interest rate environment that prevailed in 2005 compared to 2004. The interest paid on our savings accounts decreased slightly, reflecting a lower average balance of these accounts as well as the lower cost of these accounts. Interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased to $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $764,000 for the prior year period, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such advances to $34.3 million from $21.7 million. We have increased the use of such advances to match fund loans, particularly when such advances are available at attractive rates. The average cost of such advances decreased to 4.12% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from 4.69% for the prior year period.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur. After an evaluation of these factors, management made a provision of $237,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a $152,000 provision for the prior year period. The increase in the provision in 2005 as compared to 2004 was due primarily to the higher proportion of construction, commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans in our portfolio and higher non-performing loans (up 504.0%) at June 30, 2005 as compared to September 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses was $2.5 million, or 1.0% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2005, as compared to $2.3 million, or 1.2% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2004.
Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. Historically, our loan portfolio has primarily consisted of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. However, our current business plan calls for increases in construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans. As management evaluates the allowance for loan losses, the increased risk associated with larger non-homogenous construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.
Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary, based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as an integral part of its examination
process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. This agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance, based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income decreased to $537,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $593,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease reflected a smaller increase in the cash surrender value of Magyar Bank's bank owned life insurance for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the earlier year period, due principally to lower market interest rates in 2005. Partially offsetting this was an increase in service charges in the 2005 period, particularly service charges on deposits, due to higher deposit balances in 2005 compared to 2004.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased to $7.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $5.8 million for the prior year period. Compensation and employee benefits were the largest component of the increase, rising to $4.0 million from $2.5 million. The increase reflected the addition of several senior positions, including a new construction loan officer and a new commercial loan officer, as we increased our capacity to originate these higher yielding loans. In addition, we increased staffing in the administrative area, including a new marketing officer, a new human resources officer and a new CRA/community development officer. We expect the addition of these positions will enable us to administer higher balances of loans and deposits after the infusion of capital resulting from the offering. The increased compensation and employee benefits also reflected severance payments for departing senior executives, including the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer in December 2004. The higher noninterest expense also was due to higher occupancy expenses, which increased to $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $966,000 for the prior year period. The increase reflected our new branch office as well as expenses related to the relocation of our current headquarters office. These increases were partially offset by lower professional fees, which decreased to $237,000 from $521,000. The higher professional fees for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 reflected a data processing conversion undertaken during that period.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense decreased to $17,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 from $260,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in the effective rate is due to tax exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income which has decreased. The effective tax rate was 13.9% and 31.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003
Total assets increased $13.2 million, or 4.8%, to $287.1 million at September 30, 2004 from $273.9 million at September 30, 2003. The increase reflected substantial growth in net loans, partially offset by a decrease in securities available for sale and cash and cash equivalents. The growth in net loans was primarily funded by an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances, which increased to $25.5 million at September 30, 2004 from $10.5 million at September 30, 2003.
Net loans increased $19.8 million, or 11.4%, to $193.5 million at September 30, 2004 from $173.8 million at September 30, 2003. Commercial business loans and commercial real
estate loans increased $18.1 million, or 187.6%, and $581,000, or 3.0%, respectively, reflecting strong economic conditions in our primary market area as well as our efforts to diversify our lending activities and improve our net interest rate spread by increasing our origination of these generally higher-yielding loans. At September 30, 2004, commercial business and commercial real estate loans represented 24.3% of our total loan portfolio compared to 16.5% at September 30, 2003. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans increased $1.2 million, or 1.1%, to $108.7 million at September 30, 2004, reflecting continued strong demand in our primary market area for residential mortgage loans, given the continued low interest rate environment. While demand for loans was strong, the relatively static balance of the portfolio reflected high loan refinancing activity by our customers as well as our sale into the secondary mortgage market of a portion of our fixed-rate residential loan originations. Our portfolio of home equity lines of credit increased $1.8 million, or 24.2%, to $9.1 million at September 30, 2004. The increase reflected aggressive marketing activities and competitive pricing on our home equity line of credit products. Constructions loans increased $338,000, or 6.5%, to $5.5 million at September 30, 2004, reflecting continuing strong demand for such loans in our market area, particularly for commercial construction loans.
Securities available for sale decreased $8.9 million, or 22.2%, to $31.2 million at September 30, 2004 from $40.1 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease reflected $5.5 million in principal repayments and prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and $5.0 million in calls of Federal agency obligations in the low market interest rate environment that prevailed in 2004. Our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government and agency obligations decreased $3.6 million, or 13.3%, and $5.2 million, or 48.5%, respectively, at September 30, 2004 from September 30, 2003. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our held-to-maturity investment securities portfolio, which increased to $42.6 million at September 30, 2004 from $37.3 million at September 30, 2003. The largest component of this increase was our mortgage-backed securities portfolio, which increased to $33.2 million from $29.7 million.
Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.6 million, or 41.8%, to $5.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $8.5 million at September 30, 2003, reflecting routine fluctuations in cash balances as well as the deployment of cash into higher-yielding loans. Our holdings of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York increased to $1.7 million at September 30, 2004 from $1.6 million at September 30, 2003, resulting from increases in advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Total deposits decreased slightly to $224.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $225.7 million at September 30, 2003. We took advantage of attractive rates available on Federal Home Loan Bank advances to increase such advances as a funding source during this period. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $15.0 million, or 142.6%, to $25.5 million at September 30, 2004 from $10.5 million at September 30, 2003. We also used such advances to "match fund" a portion of our longer-term loans in an effort to reduce our interest rate risk. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements were unchanged at $9.5 million at September 30, 2004.
Total retained earnings increased $452,000 or 2.0%, to $23.1 million at September 30, 2004 from $22.7 million at September 30, 2003. The increase reflected net income of $612,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004, which was partially offset by a $160,000 increase in other comprehensive losses due to unrealized losses on securities available for sale at September 30, 2004. The other comprehensive losses were due to changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased; management has concluded that none of the securities have impairments that are other than temporary.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003
NET INCOME. Net income decreased $915,000, or 59.9%, to $612,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense, partially offset by increased net interest income.
NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Net interest income increased $162,000, or 2.0%, to $8.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $8.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. The increase reflected a $2.6 million, or 12.81%, increase in our net interest earning assets, which was partially offset by a one basis point decline in our net interest rate spread to 3.03% for the year ended September 30, 2004 from 3.04% for the year ended September 30, 2003. The reduction in the net interest rate spread was partially attributable to the flattening of the yield curve in which short-term interest rates generally increased while longer-term rates remained essentially flat during fiscal year 2004. This trend has continued into fiscal year 2005.
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME. Interest income decreased $786,000, or 5.9%, to $12.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $13.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets to 4.81% from 5.28%, which more than offset an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $261.5 million from $253.1 million. Interest income attributable to loans decreased $805,000, or 7.7%, to $9.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2004, reflecting a 48 basis point decrease in the average yield on such assets to 5.40%, which more than offset a slight increase in the average balance of loans to $178.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $177.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2003, as the continued low market interest rate environment combined with strong demand for residential financing in our primary market area resulted in our loan originations more than offsetting loan prepayments and repayments. Interest earned on investment securities increased $67,000, or 2.4% to $2.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2004. The increase reflected substantially higher average balances of such securities to $77.5 million from $64.9 million, which more than offset a decrease in the yield on such securities in the lower market interest rate environment that prevailed during fiscal 2004.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $948,000, or 18.2% to $4.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $5.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due to the decrease in the average cost of such liabilities to 1.79% for the year ended September 30, 2004 from 2.24% for the prior year, which more than offset the $5.8 million, or 2.5%, increase in the average balance of such liabilities. The interest paid on deposits decreased to $3.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from
$4.3 million for the prior year, due to a decrease in the average cost of such deposits to 1.49% from 1.98% in the lower market interest rate environment. In particular, the interest paid on time deposits decreased $517,000, or 16.2% for the year ended September 30, 2004, primarily because the average cost of such deposits decreased to 2.39% from 2.84%. The interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings increased $35,000 or 3.5%, for the year ended September 30, 2004, as a decrease in the average cost of such borrowings to 4.55% from 5.01%, was more than offset by a $2.8 million, or 14.0%, increase in the average balance of such borrowings. The higher balance of such borrowings reflected our use of such advances given the attractive rates available.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. Management made a provision of $202,500 for the year ended September 30, 2004 compared to a $230,000 provision for the prior year. The allowance for loan losses was $2.3 million, or 1.2% of loans outstanding, at September 30, 2004 as compared to $2.2 million, or 1.2% of loans outstanding, at September 30, 2003.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income decreased $174,000, or 17.9% to $796,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $970,000 for the year ended September 30, 2003. The decrease reflected lower service charges on deposits in the 2004 period related to waived customer deposit fees associated with our data processing conversion and upgrade. In addition, the decrease reflected a smaller increase in the cash surrender value of Magyar Bank's bank owned life insurance for the year ended September 30, 2004 compared to the prior year.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased $1.3 million or 19.2%, to $8.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $6.7 million for the prior year. Compensation and employee benefits increased to $3.8 million from $3.1 million, reflecting higher staffing levels as well as average annual salary increases of 3.7%. Occupancy expenses increased to $1.3 million from $1.2 million, reflecting the construction of our new headquarters building. Professional fees increased to $628,000 from $234,000, reflecting a substantial data processing system upgrade and consultants hired to facilitate this process. Advertising expense increased to $279,000 from $216,000, reflecting, in part expense associated with the change of the name of the bank to Magyar Bank.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense decreased to $257,000 for the year ended September 30, 2004 from $624,000 for the prior year. The lower expense was due to lower income in 2004. The effective tax rate was 29.6% and 29.0% for fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively.
AVERAGE BALANCES AND YIELDS. The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK
GENERAL. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Senior management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets at least on a quarterly basis to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we seek to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by retaining in our loan portfolio fewer fixed rate residential loans, by originating and retaining adjustable-rate loans in the residential, construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios, by using alternative funding sources, such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, to "match fund" longer-term one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, and by originating and retaining variable rate home equity and short-term and medium-term fixed-rate commercial business loans. We also use our portfolio of short-term and adjustable-rate investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Finally, we have increased non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of our deposits. By following these strategies, we believe that we are well-positioned to react to increases in market interest rates.
NET INTEREST INCOME ANALYSIS. The table below, sets forth, as of June 30, 2005, the estimated changes in our net portfolio value for each of the next two years that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. These estimates require making certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may differ significantly due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions. Further, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net interest income require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We seek to maintain a liquidity ratio of 3.0% of assets or greater. For the year ended September 30, 2004, our liquidity ratio averaged 21.6% of assets.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $22.1 million at June 30, 2005. In addition, at June 30, 2005, we had the ability to borrow $83.9 million (including reverse repurchase agreements) from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. On that date, we had $26.7 million in advances outstanding.
Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Statements of Cash Flows included in our Financial Statements.
At June 30, 2005, we had $50.5 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $28.4 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2005 totaled $74.6 million, or 28.8% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2006. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we originated $135.5 million of loans and purchased $2.0 million of securities. For the year ended September 30, 2004, we originated $54.4 million of loans and purchased $19.2 million of securities.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $35.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and a net decrease in total deposits of $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2004. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which provide an additional source of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $26.7 million, $25.5 million and $10.5 million at June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and to purchase securities. Our current asset/liability management strategy has been to "match-fund" longer-term loans with Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Magyar Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2005, Magyar Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Magyar Bank is considered "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines. See "Supervision and Regulation--Federal Banking Regulation--Capital Requirements."
The net proceeds from the offering will significantly increase our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loans. Our financial condition and results of operations will be enhanced by the net proceeds from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and net income. However, due to the increase in equity resulting from the net proceeds raised in the offering, return on equity will be adversely impacted following the offering.
Bank Owned Life Insurance is a tax-advantaged financing transaction that is used to offset employee benefit plan costs. Policies are purchased insuring officers of Magyar Bank using a single premium method of payment. Magyar Bank is the owner and beneficiary of the policies and records tax-free income through cash surrender value accumulation. We have minimized our credit exposure by choosing carriers that are highly rated. The investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance has no significant impact on our capital and liquidity.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND AGGREGATE CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
COMMITMENTS. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our
future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made by us. We consider commitments to extend credit in determining our allowance for loan losses. For additional information, see Note M, "Lease Commitments," and Note N, "Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk" to our Financial Statements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment.
The following table summarizes our significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and other funding needs by payment date at June 30, 2005. The payment amounts represent those amounts due to the recipient and do not include any unamortized premiums or discounts or other similar carrying amount adjustments.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 3, as part of its short-term convergence project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Statement 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by a new accounting pronouncement that do not include specific transition provisions be applied retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable to do so. Opinion 20, Accounting Changes, required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle as a component of net income in the period of the change.
Statement 154 is effective prospectively for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date the Statement was issued (May 2005). Statement 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of the Statement. Magyar Bank is currently evaluating its possible impact.
FASB STATEMENT NO. 123 (REVISED 2004), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT. Statement 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Statement 123(R) requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. The revised Statement generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the fair-value-based method; and eliminates an entity's ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. The revised Statement requires entities to disclose information about the nature of the share-based payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial statements. Statement 123(R) is effective for Magyar Bank beginning July 1, 2005. Magyar Bank must use either the modified prospective or the modified retrospective transition method. Early adoption of this Statement for interim or annual periods for which financial statements or interim reports have not been issued is permitted. The adoption of Statement 123(R) is expected to reduce reported net income and earnings per share. Management is in the process of evaluating Statement 123(R) and does not know its full impact on the consolidated financial statements at this time.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The financial statements and related notes of Magyar Bank have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("USGAAP"). USGAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
BUSINESS OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
We were formed in September, 2005 and we have not engaged in any business. Upon completion of the reorganization and the stock offering, we will own all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Magyar Bank. We will retain up to 50% of the net proceeds from the stock offering. A portion of the net proceeds will be used for the purpose of making a loan to fund the purchase of shares of our common stock by the Magyar Bank employee stock ownership plan. We will contribute the remaining net proceeds to Magyar Bank as additional capital. We intend to invest our capital as discussed in "How We Intend to Use the Proceeds from the Offering."
In the future, Magyar Bancorp, Inc., as the holding company of Magyar Bank, will be authorized to pursue other business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations for bank holding companies, which may include the acquisition of banking and financial services companies. We have no plans for any mergers or acquisitions, or other diversification of the activities of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the present time.
Our cash flow will depend on earnings from the investment of the net proceeds we retain, and any dividends received from Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. neither owns nor leases any property, but instead will use the premises, equipment and furniture of Magyar Bank. We will employ as officers only certain persons who are also officers of Magyar Bank and we will use the support staff of Magyar Bank from time to time. These persons will not be separately compensated by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may hire additional employees, as appropriate, to the extent it expands its business in the future.
BUSINESS OF MAGYAR BANK
GENERAL
Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding our main office in New Brunswick, New Jersey and our three branch offices located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and wholesale funding, into residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, construction loans and securities. We also originate consumer loans, primarily secured demand loans. We originate loans primarily for our loan portfolio but from time-to-time have sold some fixed-rate long-term residential mortgage loans into the secondary market, while retaining the servicing rights. Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and securities. We also generate revenues from fees and service charges. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.
Our website address is www.magbank.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of this prospectus.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our business strategy is designed to enhance our profitability and strengthen our franchise in our market area. The highlights of our strategy include the following:
o EXPANSION OF THE RETAIL BANKING FRANCHISE. We have increased our focus on expanding our retail banking franchise, increasing the number of households and businesses served and the number of bank products per customer, primarily through DE NOVO branching. In addition to the new branch office opened in 2002, we currently are in the process of establishing a new branch office in New Brunswick and relocating our main office to a higher-growth part of our market area. Our current strategic plan includes the establishment of up to four additional branch offices by 2008. In addition, by offering and promoting an increased variety of products and services, we seek to deepen customer relationships in order to generate internal growth.
o DEPOSIT AND CUSTOMER GATHERING. Our strategic objectives include continuing to grow and increase our customer base. We have focused on generating new deposit relationships, particularly non-interest bearing checking accounts for both consumer and business customers. Our emphasis on non-interest bearing checking accounts and other low-cost deposit accounts will further our efforts to benefit our net interest margin position.
o LOAN PORTFOLIO GROWTH AND DIVERSIFICATION. Historically, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans have formed the largest portion of our loan portfolio. However, we have increased our origination of commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and construction loans in recent years, and we intend to continue emphasizing these loans in the future. At June 30, 2005, our net loan portfolio totaled $248.3 million, an increase of $74.5 million, or 42.9%, since September 30, 2003. The net loan portfolio represented 76.4% of total assets and 95.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2005, compared to 63.4% of total assets and 77.0% of deposits at September 30, 2003. We originated $33.0 million of commercial real estate, $18.1 million in construction, and $4.4 million of commercial business loans during the nine months ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, our commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans totaled 19.8%, 14.8% and 8.1%, respectively, of our loan portfolio. The additional capital raised in the offering will enable us to further increase our commercial business and commercial real estate lending capacity by enabling us to originate more such loans and loans with larger balances. This will permit us to serve commercial borrowers with larger lending needs. More commercial business and commercial real estate lending exposes us to increased risks, as discussed in the Risk Factors section of this prospectus.
o INCREASING NONINTEREST INCOME. By diversifying the financial products and services we offer, we intend to increase noninterest income. In 2005, we entered into an exclusive arrangement with a full-service investment and insurance advisory firm to offer an expanded product line including fixed and variable
annuities, retirement and investment planning, life insurance and long-term care insurance. The sale of these products, as well as the addition of new deposit products and services, helps to reduce the exposure of our net income to changes in market interest rates.
o MAINTAINING ASSET QUALITY. We have emphasized maintaining strong asset quality by following conservative underwriting criteria, and primarily originating loans secured by real estate. We will continue to emphasize asset quality as we expand the scope of our lending practices. At June 30, 2005, our non-performing loans totaled $1.5 million, representing 0.6% of the loan portfolio. Our allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.5 million at June 30, 2005, and represented 1.0% of our loan portfolio and 166.2% of non-performing loans.
o MANAGING INTEREST RATE RISK. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by retaining in our loan portfolio fewer fixed rate residential loans, by originating and retaining adjustable-rate loans in the residential, construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios, by using alternative funding sources, such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, to "match fund" longer-term one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, and by originating and retaining variable rate home equity and short-term and medium-term fixed-rate commercial business loans. We also use our portfolio of short-term and adjustable-rate investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Finally, we have increased non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of our deposits. At June 30, 2005, 20.5% of our loan portfolio matured or repriced in one year or less or had an adjustable interest rate. In addition, as of June 30, 2005, our securities had an expected average life of 16.4 years. As a result of these steps, our assets are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than our liabilities, and we believe we are well-positioned for rising market interest rates, which we anticipate in future periods.
o IMPROVING OPERATING EFFICIENCIES AND EXPENSE CONTROL. Our efficiency ratio was 98.39% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005. The ratio reflects our investment of resources in developing a management team and technological infrastructure that is capable of managing and processing a larger asset and deposit base than we currently have. As a result, we have residential, commercial and consumer loan departments staffed with experienced professionals who are capable of promoting the continued growth of our loan portfolio and branch network. We intend to approach future growth opportunities with a view toward achieving improved economies of scale. We plan to continue to monitor and control costs, although we recognize that our growth, particularly our planned de novo branching strategy, will require continued investments in personnel, marketing, premises and equipment.
MARKET AREA
We are headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and our primary deposit gathering area is concentrated in the communities surrounding our headquarters branch and our three
branch offices located Middlesex County, New Jersey. Our primary lending area is broader than our deposit-gathering area and includes all of New Jersey. At June 30, 2005, 65.3% of our mortgage loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by real estate located in Middlesex and Somerset Counties in New Jersey.
The economy in our primary market area has benefited from being varied and diverse. It is largely urban and suburban with a broad economic base as is typical for counties surrounding the New York metropolitan area. Middlesex and Somerset Counties are projected to experience moderate population and household growth through 2010. These counties have an aging population base with the strongest growth projected in the 55-and-older age group and $50,000 or greater household income category.
COMPETITION
We face intense competition within our market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking. As of June 30, 2005, our market share of deposits represented ____% of deposits in the State of New Jersey. See "Risk Factors--Strong Competition Within Our Market Area May Limit Our Growth and Profitability."
Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business while maintaining our role as a community bank.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
We originate residential mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of residential real property. Residential mortgage loans represented $118.7 million, or 47.3% of our total loans at June 30, 2005. Historically, we have not originated loans a significant number of loans for the purpose of reselling them in the secondary market. In the future, however, to help manage interest rate risk and to increase fee income, we intend to increase our origination and sale in the secondary market of 15 to 30-year, fixed-rate residential loans, while retaining the servicing rights on those loans. No loans were held for sale at June 30, 2005. We also originate commercial real estate, commercial business and construction loans. At June 30, 2005, the balances of these loans were $49.8 million, $20.3 million and $37.1 million, respectively. We also offer consumer loans, which consist primarily of home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, as well as secured demand loans. At June 30, 2005, home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $10.6 million or 4.2% of our total loan portfolio.
LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan, at the dates indicated, excluding loans held for sale.

RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS. We originate residential mortgage loans, most of which are secured by properties located in our primary market area and most of which we hold in portfolio. At June 30, 2005, $118.7 million, or 47.3% of our loan portfolio, consisted of residential mortgage loans. Residential mortgage loan originations are generally obtained from our in-house loan representatives, from existing or past customers, through advertising, and
through referrals from local builders, real estate brokers and attorneys, and are underwritten pursuant to Magyar Bank's policies and standards. Generally, residential mortgage loans are originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, with private mortgage insurance required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. We generally will not make loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 97%, which is the upper limit that has been established by the board of directors. Fixed-rate mortgage loans are originated for terms of up to 30 years.
Generally, all fixed-rate residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to Freddie Mac guidelines, policies and procedures. Historically, we have not originated a significant number of loans for the purpose of reselling them in the secondary market. In the future, however, to help manage interest rate risk and to increase fee income, we intend to increase our origination and sale in the secondary market of 30-year, fixed-rate residential loans, while retaining the servicing rights on those loans. No loans were held for sale at June 30, 2005.
We generally do not purchase residential mortgage loans, except for loans to low-income borrowers to enhance our Community Reinvestment Act performance. At June 30, 2005, we had a portfolio of $7.3 million in purchased one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. No loans were purchased in the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
At June 30, 2005, we held $96.5 million in fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, which represented 81.3% of our residential mortgage loan portfolio. At June 30, 2005, our largest residential mortgage loan was for $2.6 million. The loan was performing in accordance with its terms at June 30, 2005.
We also offer adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans with an interest rate based on the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasuries adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, which adjusts either annually from the outset of the loan or which adjusts annually after a one-, three-, five- or seven-year initial fixed-rate period. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally provide for maximum rate adjustments of 2% per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment up to 5%, regardless of the initial rate. Our adjustable-rate mortgage loans amortize over terms of up to 30 years.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, which increases the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. The maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments may limit the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgages during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At June 30, 2005, we held $22.2 million of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans representing 18.7% of our residential mortgage loan portfolio.
In an effort to provide financing for low- and moderate-income home buyers, we offer low- to moderate-income residential mortgage loans. These loans are offered with fixed rates of interest and terms of up to 30 years, and are secured by one- to four-family residential properties. All of these loans are originated using agency underwriting guidelines. These loans are originated in amounts with maximum loan-to-value ratios of 97%, which is higher than that for
our standard one- to four-family mortgage loans. In addition, we have a small portfolio of Veterans Administration (VA) and Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans. Private mortgage insurance is required on all such loans. At June 30, 2005, we had $61,000 (0.02% of total loans) in VA loans and $5,000 (less than .01% of total loans) in FHA loans.
All residential mortgage loans we originate include "due-on-sale" clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable if the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance, fire and casualty insurance and, if warranted, flood insurance on properties securing real estate loans.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. As part of our strategy to add to and diversify our loan portfolio, we recently have increased our originations of commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2005, $49.8 million, or 19.8%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of these types of loans. Commercial real estate loans are generally secured by five-or-more-unit apartment buildings, industrial properties and properties used for business purposes such as small office buildings and retail facilities primarily located in our market area. We generally originate adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans with a maximum amortization term of 25 years, provided adjustable rate periods limit the initial payment period to no more than five years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for our commercial real estate loans is 75%, based on the appraised value of the property.
We consider a number of factors when we originate commercial real estate loans. During the underwriting process we evaluate the business qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, profitability of the property being financed, as well as the value and condition of the mortgaged property securing the loan. When evaluating the business qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower's experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower's payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, we consider the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service) to ensure it is at least 120% of the monthly debt service. Personal guarantees are obtained from commercial real estate borrowers. Generally, commercial real estate loans made to corporations, partnerships and other business entities require personal guarantees by the principals. All borrowers are required to obtain title, fire and casualty insurance and, if warranted, flood insurance.
Loans secured by commercial real estate generally are larger than residential mortgage loans and involve greater credit risk. Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general. Accordingly, the nature of these loans makes them more difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.
The maximum amount of a commercial real estate loan is limited by our Board-established loans-to-one-borrower limit, which is 14.25% of Magyar Bank's capital, or $3.3
million currently. At June 30, 2005, our largest commercial real estate loan was $3.1 million, secured by three commercial rental properties, including a restaurant, a marina and a retail store. At June 30, 2005, with the exception of a $380,000 loan secured by a retail office building, all of our loans secured by commercial real estate were performing in accordance with their terms.
CONSTRUCTION LOANS. We also originate construction loans for the development of one- to four-family homes, townhomes and condominiums located in our primary market area. Construction loans are generally offered to experienced local developers operating in our primary market area and to individuals for the construction of their personal residences.
At June 30, 2005, construction loans for the development of one-to four-family residential properties amounted to $14.3 million, or 5.7% of total loans. These construction loans have a maximum term of 24 months. We provide financing for land acquisition, site improvement and construction of individual homes. Land acquisition funds are limited to 50% to 75% of the sale price of the land. Site improvement funds are limited to 100% of the bonded site improvement costs. Construction funds are limited to 75% of the lesser of the contract sale price or appraised value of the property (less funds already advanced for land acquisition and site improvement).
At June 30, 2005, construction loans for the development of townhomes and condominiums amounted to $22.9 million, or 9.1% of total loans. These construction loans also have a maximum term of 24 months. We generally require that a commitment for permanent financing be in place prior to closing these construction loans. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is 75% of the appraised value of the property. In addition, the property must maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 125%. Finally, we may retain up to 10% of each loan advance until the property attains a 90% occupancy level.
The maximum amount of a construction loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which is 14.25% of Magyar Bank's capital, or $3.3 million currently. At June 30, 2005, the largest outstanding construction loan balance was for $3.3 million. It was secured by a residential condominium/townhome development project located in our primary market area. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, with the exception of a $145,000 residential construction loan, all of our construction loans were performing in accordance with their terms.
Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal on the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We generally also engage an outside engineering firm to review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the terms of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method. Personal guarantees from all principals of the borrowing entities are obtained for all construction loans.
Construction lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value
of the property. Additionally, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project, when completed, having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment.
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS. At June 30, 2005, we had $20.3 million in commercial business loans, which amounted to 8.1% of total loans. We make commercial business loans primarily in our market area to a variety of professionals, sole proprietorships and small and mid-sized businesses. Commercial business lending products include term loans and revolving lines of credit. The maximum term of a commercial business loan is 15 years. Such loans are generally used for longer-term working capital purposes such as purchasing equipment or furniture. Commercial business loans are made with either adjustable or fixed rates of interest. The interest rates for commercial business loans are based on the prime rate, as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
When making commercial business loans, we consider the financial strength of the borrower, our lending history with the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business and the value and type of the collateral. Commercial business loans are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, savings instruments and readily marketable securities. In addition, we usually require the business principals to execute personal guarantees.
Commercial business loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. The maximum amount of a commercial business loan is limited by our loans-to-one-borrower limit, which is 14.25% of Magyar Bank's capital, or $3.3 million currently. At June 30, 2005, our largest commercial business loan was a $2.7 million loan to a manufacturing company and secured by business assets and real estate located in our primary market area. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, with the exception of a $345,000 loan to a wholesale supply company as well as an additional $8,000 loan, all of our commercial business loans were performing in accordance with their terms.
HOME EQUITY LOANS, HOME EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT AND OTHER LOANS. We originate home equity loans and home equity lines of credit secured by residences located in our market area. At June 30, 2005, these loans comprised $10.6 million or 4.2% of our total loan portfolio. The underwriting standards we use for home equity loans and home equity lines of credit include a determination of the applicant's credit history, an assessment of the applicant's ability to meet existing obligations, the payment on the proposed loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The combined (first and second mortgage liens) loan-to-value ratio for home equity loans and home equity lines of credit is 90%. Home equity loans are offered with fixed and adjustable rates of interest with the loan amount not to exceed $500,000 and with terms of up to
20 years, while home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest, indexed to the prime rate, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, with terms of up to 25 years.
We also originate to individuals and businesses a substantial amount of loans secured by the common stock of publicly traded companies, provided their shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq market and provided the company is not a banking company. Stock-secured loans are interest-only and are offered for terms up to twelve months and for adjustable rates of interest indexed to the prime rate, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. The loan amount may not exceed 70% of the value of the stock securing the loan as of the date of the loan.
At June 30, 2005, stock-secured loans comprised $17.9 million or 7.1% of our total loan portfolio. Generally, we limit the aggregate total of loans secured by the common stock of any one corporation to 14.25% of Magyar Bank's capital, with the exception of Johnson & Johnson, for which the collateral concentration limit is 150% of Magyar Bank's capital. At June 30, 2005, $15.1 million, or 6.00% of our loan portfolio, was secured by the common stock of Johnson & Johnson, a New York Stock Exchange company that operates a number of facilities in our market area employing a substantial number of residents. Although these loans are underwritten based on the ability of the individual borrow to repay the loan, the concentration of our portfolio secured by this stock subjects us to the risk of a decline in the market price and, therefore, a reduction in the value of the collateral securing these loans. As of June 30, 2005, the aggregate loan-to-value ratio of the stock-secured portfolio was 35%.
LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES, PARTICIPATIONS AND SERVICING OF LOANS. Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our main and branch office locations. All loans originated by us are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. We originate both adjustable rate and fixed rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed or adjustable rate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the current and expected future levels of market interest rates.
Generally, we retain in our portfolio substantially all loans that we originate. Historically, we have not originated a significant number of loans for the purpose of reselling them in the secondary market. In the future, however, to help manage interest rate risk and to increase fee income, we intend to increase our origination and sale in the secondary market of 30-year, fixed-rate residential loans, while retaining the servicing rights on those loans. No loans were held for sale at June 30, 2005 or 2004. All one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that we sell are sold pursuant to master commitments negotiated with Freddie Mac. We sell our loans without recourse. Historically, we have retained the servicing rights on the mortgage loans sold to Freddie Mac.
At June 30, 2005, we were servicing loans sold in the amount of $12.9 million. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans.
From time-to-time, we will also participate in loans, sometimes as the "lead lender." Whether we are the lead lender or not, we underwrite our participation portion of the loan according to our own underwriting criteria and procedures. At June 30, 2005, we had $13.4 million in loan participation interests in which we were the lead lender and $3.4 million in loan participations in which we were not the lead lender.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2005, we originated $19.9 million of fixed rate and adjustable rate one-to four-family residential mortgage loans, of which $19.8 million were retained by us. The fixed rate loans retained by us consisted primarily of loans with terms of 30 years or less. We also originated $33.0 million of commercial real estate, $18.1 million in construction, and $4.4 million of commercial business loans during the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
We generally do not purchase residential mortgage loans, except for loans to low-income borrowers to enhance our Community Reinvestment Act performance. At June 30, 2005, we had a portfolio of $7.3 million in purchased one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. No loans were purchased in the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
LOAN APPROVAL PROCEDURES AND AUTHORITY. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our Board of Directors. In the approval process for loans, we assess the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the value of the property securing the loan. To assess an individual borrower's ability to repay, we review income and expense, employment and credit history. To assess a business entity's ability to repay, we review financial statements (including balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements), rent rolls, other debt service, and projected income and expense.
We generally require appraisals for all real estate securing loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers who are approved annually by our Board of Directors. We require borrowers to obtain title, fire and casualty, general liability, and, if warranted, flood insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan. For construction loans, we require a detailed plan and cost review, to be reviewed by an outside engineering firm, and all construction-related state and local approvals necessary for a particular project.
Our loan approval policies and limits are established by our Board of Directors. All loans are approved in accordance with the loan approval policies and limits. Lending authorities are approved annually by the Board of Directors, and Magyar Bank lending staff are authorized to approve loans up to their lending authority limits, provided the loan meets all of our underwriting guidelines.
Loan requests for aggregate borrowings up to $1.25 million must be approved by Magyar Bank's Chief Lending Officer or President. Other members of our lending staff have lesser amounts of lending authority based on their experience as lending officers. Loan requests for aggregate borrowings up to $1.75 million must be approved by Magyar Bank's Management Loan Committee. The Management Loan Committee is comprised of the President, Chief Lending Officer and various bank officers appointed by the Board of Directors. A quorum of
three members including either the President or the Chief Lending Officer is required for all Management Loan Committee meetings. The Directors Loan Committee and the Board of Directors must approve all loan requests for aggregate borrowings in excess of $1.75 million.
NON-PERFORMING AND PROBLEM ASSETS
We commence collection efforts when a loan becomes 15 days past due with system- generated reminder notices. Subsequent late charge and delinquent notices are issued and the account is monitored on a regular basis thereafter. Personal, direct contact with the borrower is attempted early in the collection process as a courtesy reminder and later to determine the reason for the delinquency and to safeguard our collateral. When a loan is more than 60 days past due, the credit file is reviewed and, if deemed necessary, information is updated or confirmed and collateral re-evaluated. We make every effort to contact the borrower and develop a plan of repayment to cure the delinquency. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. If no repayment plan is in process, the file is referred to counsel for the commencement of foreclosure or other collection efforts.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days or more delinquent. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. At each date presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven and loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates).

Additional interest income of approximately $43,000 and $12,000 would have been recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, if the non-accrual loans summarized in the above table had performed in accordance with their original terms. Interest income of $0 and $0 was recorded on non-accrual loans more than 90 days delinquent for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
DELINQUENT LOANS. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our loan portfolio delinquencies at the dates indicated. Loans delinquent for 90 days or more are generally classified as nonaccrual loans.

REAL ESTATE OWNED. Real estate we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at fair market value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in charges to expense after acquisition. At June 30, 2005, we held no real estate owned.
CLASSIFIED ASSETS. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" assets. An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" we will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and
improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "un-collectible" and of such little value their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We classify an asset as "special mention" if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management's close attention. While such assets are not impaired, management has concluded that if the potential weakness in the asset is not addressed, the value of the asset may deteriorate, adversely affecting the repayment of the asset. On the basis of our review of assets at June 30, 2005, classified assets consisted of $1.2 million in special mention assets, $2.4 million of substandard assets, $530,000 of doubtful assets and $13,000 of loss assets.
We are required to establish an allowance for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When we classify problem assets as "loss," we are required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all classified assets constitute non-performing assets.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level necessary to absorb loan losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Management, in determining the allowance for loan losses, considers the losses in our loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable, and changes in the nature and volume of loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. A description of our methodology in establishing our allowance for loan losses is set forth in the section "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.--Critical Accounting Policies--Allowance for Loan Losses." The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2005 was maintained at a level that represents management's best estimate of losses in the loan portfolio both probable and reasonably estimable. However, this analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe we have established the allowance at levels to absorb probable and estimable losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.
In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will periodically review our allowance for loan losses.

INVESTMENTS
Our Board of Directors has adopted our Investment Policy. This policy determines the types of securities in which we may invest. The Investment Policy is reviewed annually by the Investment Committee of the Board of Directors and changes to the policy are recommended to and subject to approval by our Board of Directors. While general investment strategies are developed by the Investment Committee, the execution of specific actions rests primarily with our President and our Chief Financial Officer. They are responsible for ensuring the guidelines and requirements included in the Investment Policy are followed and all securities are considered prudent for investment. They are authorized to execute transactions that fall within the scope of the established Investment Policy up to $2.0 million per transaction. Investment transactions in excess of $2.0 million must be approved by the Investment Committee. Investment transactions are reviewed and ratified by the Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled meetings.
Our investments portfolio may include U.S. Treasury obligations, securities issued by various federal agencies, mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, investment grade corporate debt instruments, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. In addition, we may invest in equity securities subject to certain limitations and not in excess of Magyar Bank's Tier 1 capital.
The Investment Policy requires that securities transactions be conducted in a safe and sound manner and purchase and sale decisions be based upon a thorough analysis of each security to determine its quality and inherent risks and fit within our overall asset/liability management objectives. The analysis must consider its effect on its risk-based capital measurement and prospects for yield and/or appreciation.
At June 30, 2005, our securities portfolio totaled $58.1 million, or 17.9% of our total assets. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale when purchased. At June 30, 2005, $36.0 million of our securities were classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost and $22.1 million were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.
U.S. GOVERNMENT AND FEDERAL AGENCY OBLIGATIONS. At June 30, 2005, our U.S. Government and Federal Agency securities portfolio totaled $8.2 million, or 14.2% of our total securities portfolio. While these securities generally provide lower yields than other securities in our securities portfolio, we hold these securities, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes and as collateral for certain borrowings. We invest in these securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by these issuers.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. We purchase mortgage-backed pass through and collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") securities insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae. To a lesser extent, we also invest in mortgage-backed securities issued or sponsored by private issuers. At June 30, 2005, the fair market value of our mortgage-backed securities, including CMOs, was $47.7 million, or 82.1% of our total securities portfolio. Included in this balance was $527,000 in mortgage-backed securities issued by private issuers. It is our policy to limit purchases of privately issued mortgage-backed securities to non-high risk
securities rated "AAA" by a nationally recognized credit rating agency. High risk securities generally are defined as those exhibiting significantly greater volatility of estimated average life and price due to changes in interest rates than 30-year fixed rate securities.
Mortgage-backed pass through securities are created by pooling mortgages and issuing a security with an interest rate less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed pass through securities represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages. As loan payments are made by the borrowers, the principal and interest portion of the payment is passed through to the investor as received. CMOs are also backed by mortgages; however they differ from mortgage-backed pass through securities because the principal and interest payments of the underlying mortgages are financially engineered to be paid to the security holders of pre-determined classes or tranches of these securities at a faster or slower pace. The receipt of these principal and interest payments, which depends on the proposed average life for each class, is contingent on a prepayment speed assumption assigned to the underlying mortgages. Variances between the assumed payment speed and actual payments can significantly alter the average lives of such securities. Mortgage-backed securities and CMOs generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-backed securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings and other liabilities.
Mortgage-backed securities present a risk that actual prepayments may differ from estimated prepayments over the life of the security, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments that can change the net yield on such securities. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or if such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.
Our mortgage-backed securities portfolio had a weighted average yield of 3.81% at June 30, 2005. The estimated fair value of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 2005 was $47.7 million, which was $440,000 less than the amortized cost of $48.1 million.
CORPORATE NOTES. At June 30, 2005, our corporate notes portfolio totaled $2.0 million, or 3.5% of our total securities portfolio, all of which was classified as held-to-maturity and all of which was comprised of corporate notes issued by a single financial services company. Although corporate notes may offer higher yields than U.S. Treasury or agency securities of comparable duration, corporate notes also have a higher risk of default due to possible adverse changes in the credit-worthiness of the issuer. In order to mitigate this risk, our investment policy requires that corporate debt obligations be rated in one of the four highest categories by a nationally recognized rating service. We may invest up to 25% of Magyar Bank's investment portfolio in corporate debt obligations and up to 15% of Magyar Bank's capital in any one issuer.
EQUITY SECURITIES. At June 30, 2005, our equity securities totaled $142,000, or 0.2% of our total securities portfolio and consisted of a mutual fund which invests primarily in mortgage-backed securities. All of our equity securities were classified as available-for-sale at June 30, 2005. Equity securities are not insured or guaranteed investments and are affected by market interest rates and stock market fluctuations. Such investments are carried at their fair value and
fluctuation in the fair value of such investments, including temporary declines in value, directly affect our net capital position.
SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS. The following table sets forth the composition of our securities portfolio (excluding Federal Home Loan Bank of New York common stock) at the dates indicated.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL. Deposits, primarily certificates of deposit, have traditionally been the primary source of funds used for our lending and investment activities. We also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank advances, to supplement cash flow needs, to lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk management and to manage our cost of funds. Additional sources of funds include principal and interest payments from loans and securities, loan and security prepayments and maturities, income on other earning assets and retained earnings. While cash flows from loans and securities payments can be relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.
DEPOSITS. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents within our primary market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including demand accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, retirement accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We also have the authority to accept brokered deposits and do so when attractive rates are available. At June 30, 2005, we had $9.9 million in brokered deposits.
Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. Personalized customer service, long-standing relationships with customers and an active marketing program are relied upon to attract and retain deposits.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts offered allows us to be competitive in obtaining funds and responding to changes in consumer demand. Based on experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain deposits, and the rates paid on these deposits, have been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At June 30, 2005, $113.0 million, or 43.6% of our deposit accounts, were certificates of deposit, of which $74.6 million had maturities of one year or less. We monitor activity on these accounts and, based on historical experience and our current pricing strategy, we believe we will retain a large portion of these accounts upon maturity.
The following table sets forth the distribution of total deposit accounts, by account type, at the dates indicated.

BORROWINGS. Our borrowings consist of advances from and reverse repurchase agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. As of June 30, 2005, we had Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the amount of $36.7 million, which represented 12.2% of total liabilities with a weighted average maturity of 5.01 years and a weighted average rate of 4.30%. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we can currently borrow up to $83.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as financing transactions as we maintain effective control over the transferred or pledged securities. The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements continues to be carried in our securities portfolio while the obligations to repurchase the securities are reported as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to the party with whom each transaction is executed. Those parties agree to resell to us the identical securities we delivered to them at the maturity or call period of the agreement.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are funds borrowed from customers on an overnight basis that are secured by U.S. Government agency obligations. The amount of securities collateralizing the agreements to repurchase remains in securities and the obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The following summarizes our repurchase agreements at and for the periods shown.

METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. For federal income tax purposes, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will report its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and use a tax year ending September 30 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.
BAD DEBT RESERVES. Historically, Magyar Bank has been subject to special provisions in the tax law regarding allowable tax bad debt deductions and related reserves. Tax law changes were enacted in 1996, pursuant to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), that eliminated the use of the percentage of taxable income method for tax years after 1995 and required recapture into taxable income over a six-year period all applicable excess bad debt reserves accumulated after 1988. Magyar Bank has fully recaptured its reserve balance.
Currently, Magyar Bank uses the reserve method to account for bad debt deductions for income tax purposes.
TAXABLE DISTRIBUTIONS AND RECAPTURE. Prior to the 1996 Act, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 (pre-base year reserves) were subject to recapture into taxable income should Magyar Bank fail to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests.
At June 30, 2005, our total federal pre-base year reserve was approximately $1.3 million. However, under current law, pre-base year reserves remain subject to recapture should Magyar Bank make certain non-dividend distributions, repurchase any of its stock, pay dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or cease to maintain a bank charter.
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax ("AMT") at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum taxable income" or "AMTI"). The AMT is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank have not been subject to the alternative minimum tax and have no such amounts available as credits for carryover.
NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVERS. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At June 30, 2005, Magyar Bank had approximately $440,000 of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes that were generated in the tax year ended September 30, 2004.
CORPORATE DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may exclude from its federal taxable income 100% of dividends received from Magyar Bank as a wholly- owned subsidiary. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 80% when the dividend is received from a corporation having at least 20% of its stock owned by the recipient corporation. A 70% dividends-received deduction is available for dividends received from corporations owning less than 20% by the recipient corporation.
STATE TAXATION
NEW JERSEY STATE TAXATION. Magyar Bank files New Jersey corporate income tax returns. Generally, the income of savings institutions in New Jersey, which is calculated based on federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, is subject to New Jersey tax. Magyar Bank is not currently under audit with respect to its New Jersey income tax returns and Magyar Bank's state tax returns have not been audited for the past five years.
On July 2, 2002, the State of New Jersey enacted income tax law changes that were retroactive to tax years beginning January 1, 2002. The more relevant changes include an increase in the tax rate for savings banks from three percent to nine percent and the establishment of an Alternative Minimum Assessment ("AMA") tax. Under the legislation, a taxpayer, including Magyar Bank, will pay the greater of the corporate business tax ("CBT") (at 9% of taxable income) or the AMA tax. The AMA tax is a gross receipts tax that is calculated by multiplying the gross receipts by the applicable factor, which ranges from 0.125% to 0.4%. The AMA tax is creditable against the CBT in a year in which the CBT is higher, limited to the AMA for that year, and limited to an amount such that the tax is not reduced by more than 50% of the tax otherwise due and other statutory minimums. The AMA tax for each taxpayer may not exceed $5.0 million per year and the sum of the AMA for each member of an affiliated group may not exceed $20.0 million per year for members of an affiliated group with five or more taxpayers. The AMA for tax years beginning after June 30, 2006 shall be zero.
New Jersey tax law does not and has not allowed for a taxpayer to file a tax return on a combined or consolidated basis with another member of the affiliated group where there is common ownership. However, under recent tax legislation, if the taxpayer cannot demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the tax filing discloses the true earnings of the taxpayer on its business carried on in the State of New Jersey, the New Jersey Director of the Division of Taxation may, at the director's discretion, require the taxpayer to file a consolidated return of the entire operations of the affiliated group or controlled group, including its own operations and income.
DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY STATE TAXATION. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in Delaware, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be exempted from Delaware corporate income tax but will be required to file annual returns and pay annual fees and a franchise tax to the State of Delaware.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be subject to New Jersey corporate taxes in the same manner as described above for Magyar Bank.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL
Magyar Bank is a New Jersey-chartered savings bank, and its deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and, to a lesser extent, the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Magyar Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the "Commissioner") as the issuer of its charter, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as the deposit insurer and its primary federal regulator. Magyar Bank must file reports with the Commissioner and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its activities and financial condition, and it must obtain regulatory approval prior to entering into certain transactions, such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other depository institutions and opening or acquiring branch offices. The Commissioner and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation conduct periodic examinations to assess Magyar Bank's compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which a savings bank can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc., as a bank holding company controlling Magyar Bank, will be subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"), and the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA and to the provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948 (the "New Jersey Banking Act") and the regulations of the Commissioner under the New Jersey Banking Act applicable to bank holding companies. Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be required to file reports with, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and the Commissioner. Following completion of the offering, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
Any change in such laws and regulations, whether by the Commissioner, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or through legislation, could have a material adverse impact on Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and their operations and stockholders.
Certain of the laws and regulations applicable to Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. are summarized below or elsewhere in this prospectus. These summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such laws and regulations.
NEW JERSEY BANKING REGULATION
ACTIVITY POWERS. Magyar Bank derives its lending, investment and other activity powers primarily from the applicable provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act and its related regulations. Under these laws and regulations, savings banks, including Magyar Bank, generally may invest in:
(1) real estate mortgages;
(2) consumer and commercial loans;
(3) specific types of debt securities, including certain corporate debt securities and obligations of federal, state and local governments and agencies;
(4) certain types of corporate equity securities; and
(5) certain other assets.
A savings bank may also invest pursuant to a "leeway" power that permits investments not otherwise permitted by the New Jersey Banking Act. "Leeway" investments must comply with a number of limitations on the individual and aggregate amounts of "leeway" investments. A savings bank may also exercise trust powers upon approval of the Commissioner. New Jersey savings banks may exercise those powers, rights, benefits or privileges authorized for national banks or out-of-state banks or for federal or out-of-state savings banks or savings associations, provided that before exercising any such power, right, benefit or privilege, prior approval by the Commissioner by regulation or by specific authorization is required. The exercise of these lending, investment and activity powers are limited by federal law and the related regulations. See "--Federal Banking Regulation--Activity Restrictions on State-Chartered Banks" below.
LOANS-TO-ONE-BORROWER LIMITATIONS. With certain specified exceptions, a New Jersey-chartered savings bank may not make loans or extend credit to a single borrower or to entities related to the borrower in an aggregate amount that would exceed 15% of the bank's capital funds. A savings bank may lend an additional 10% of the bank's capital funds if secured by collateral meeting the requirements of the New Jersey Banking Act. Magyar Bank currently complies with applicable loans-to-one-borrower limitations.
DIVIDENDS. Under the New Jersey Banking Act, a stock savings bank may declare and pay a dividend on its capital stock only to the extent that the payment of the dividend would not impair the capital stock of the savings bank. In addition, a stock savings bank may not pay a dividend unless the savings bank would, after the payment of the dividend, have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock, or alternatively, the payment of the dividend would not reduce the surplus. Federal law may also limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by Magyar Bank. See "--Federal Banking Regulation--Prompt Corrective Action" below.
MINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Regulations of the Commissioner impose on New Jersey-chartered depository institutions, including Magyar Bank, minimum capital requirements similar to those imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on insured state banks. See "--Federal Banking Regulation--Capital Requirements."
EXAMINATION AND ENFORCEMENT. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance may examine Magyar Bank whenever it deems an examination advisable. The Department examines Magyar Bank at least every two years. The Commissioner may order any savings bank to discontinue any violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any director, officer, attorney or employee of a savings bank engaged in an objectionable activity, after the Commissioner has ordered the activity to be terminated, to show cause at a hearing before the Commissioner why such person should not be removed.
FEDERAL BANKING REGULATION
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations require banks to maintain minimum levels of capital. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations define two tiers, or classes, of capital.
Tier 1 capital is comprised of the sum of:
o common stockholders' equity, excluding the unrealized appreciation or depreciation, net of tax, from available for sale securities;
o non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, including any related retained earnings; and
o minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries minus all intangible assets, other than qualifying servicing rights and any net unrealized loss on marketable equity securities.
The components of Tier 2 capital currently include:
o cumulative perpetual preferred stock;
o certain perpetual preferred stock for which the dividend rate may be reset periodically;
o hybrid capital instruments, including mandatory convertible securities;
o term subordinated debt;
o intermediate term preferred stock;
o allowance for loan losses; and
o up to 45% of pretax net unrealized holding gains on available for sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values.
The allowance for loan losses includible in Tier 2 capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets (as discussed below). Overall, the amount of Tier 2 capital that may be included in total capital cannot exceed 100% of Tier 1 capital. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations establish a minimum leverage capital requirement for banks in
the strongest financial and managerial condition, with a rating of 1 (the highest examination rating of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for banks) under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System, of not less than a ratio of 3.0% of Tier 1 capital to total assets. For all other banks, the minimum leverage capital requirement is 4.0%, unless a higher leverage capital ratio is warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of the depository institution.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations also require that banks meet a risk-based capital standard. The risk-based capital standard requires the maintenance of a ratio of total capital, which is defined as the sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, to risk-weighted assets of at least 8% and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4%. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, plus certain off balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation believes are inherent in the type of asset or item.
The federal banking agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, have also adopted regulations to require an assessment of an institution's exposure to declines in the economic value of a bank's capital due to changes in interest rates when assessing the bank's capital adequacy. Under such a risk assessment, examiners evaluate a bank's capital for interest rate risk on a case-by-case basis, with consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors. According to the agencies, applicable considerations include:
o the quality of the bank's interest rate risk management process;
o the overall financial condition of the bank; and
o the level of other risks at the bank for which capital is needed.
Institutions with significant interest rate risk may be required to hold additional capital. The agencies also issued a joint policy statement providing guidance on interest rate risk management, including a discussion of the critical factors affecting the agencies' evaluation of interest rate risk in connection with capital adequacy.
As of June 30, 2005, Magyar Bank was considered "well capitalized" under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guidelines.
ACTIVITY RESTRICTIONS ON STATE-CHARTERED BANKS. Federal law and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulation generally limits the activities and investments of state-chartered Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured banks and their subsidiaries to those permissible for national banks and their subsidiaries, unless such activities and investments are specifically exempted by law or consented to by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Before making a new investment or engaging in a new activity that is not permissible for a national bank or otherwise permissible under federal law or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations, an insured bank must seek approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to make such investment or engage in such activity. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will not approve the activity unless the bank meets its minimum capital
requirements and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation determines that the activity does not present a significant risk to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance funds. Certain activities of subsidiaries that are engaged in activities permitted for national banks only through a "financial subsidiary" are subject to additional restrictions.
Federal law permits a state-chartered savings bank to engage, through financial subsidiaries, in any activity in which a national bank may engage through a financial subsidiary and on substantially the same terms and conditions. In general, the law permits a national bank that is well-capitalized and well-managed to conduct, through a financial subsidiary, any activity permitted for a financial holding company other than insurance underwriting, insurance investments, real estate investment or development or merchant banking. The total assets of all such financial subsidiaries may not exceed the lesser of 45% of the bank's total assets or $50 million. The bank must have policies and procedures to assess the financial subsidiary's risk and protect the bank from such risk and potential liability, must not consolidate the financial subsidiary's assets with the bank's and must exclude from its own assets and equity all equity investments, including retained earnings, in the financial subsidiary. State chartered savings banks may retain subsidiaries in existence as of March 11, 2000 and may engage in activities that are not authorized under federal law. Although Magyar Bank meets all conditions necessary to establish and engage in permitted activities through financial subsidiaries, it has not yet determined whether or the extent to which it will seek to engage in such activities.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. Magyar Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, which consists of twelve regional federal home loan banks, each subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The federal home loan banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member thrift institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the federal home loan banks. The federal home loan banks make loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures, including collateral requirements, established by the respective boards of directors of the federal home loan banks. These policies and procedures are subject to the regulation and oversight of the FHFB. All long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing. The FHFB has also established standards of community or investment service that members must meet to maintain access to such long-term advances. Magyar Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, is required to purchase and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York in an amount at least equal to the greater of:
(i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year;
(ii) 0.3% of its assets; or
(iii) 5% (or such greater fraction as established by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York) of its advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. Magyar Bank is in compliance with these requirements.
ENFORCEMENT. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has extensive enforcement authority over insured savings banks, including Magyar Bank. This enforcement authority
includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist orders and to remove directors and officers. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws and regulations and to unsafe or unsound practices.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. The Federal Deposit Improvement Act also established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as well as the other federal banking regulators, adopted regulations governing the supervisory actions that may be taken against undercapitalized institutions. The regulations establish five categories, consisting of "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's regulations define the five capital categories as follows:
An institution will be treated as "well capitalized" if:
o its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 10%;
o its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 6%; and
o its ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is at least 5%, and it is not subject to any order or directive by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to meet a specific capital level.
An institution will be treated as "adequately capitalized" if:
o its ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 8%; or
o its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets is at least 4%; and
o its ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is at least 4% (3% if the bank receives the highest rating under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System) and it is not a well-capitalized institution.
An institution will be treated as "undercapitalized" if:
o its total risk-based capital is less than 8%; or
o its Tier 1 risk-based-capital is less than 4%; and
o its leverage ratio is less than 4% (or less than 3% if the institution receives the highest rating under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System).
An institution will be treated as "significantly undercapitalized" if:
o its total risk-based capital is less than 6%;
o its Tier 1 capital is less than 3%; or
o its leverage ratio is less than 3%.
An institution that has a tangible capital to total assets ratio equal to or less than 2% would be deemed to be "critically undercapitalized."
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is required, with some exceptions, to appoint a receiver or conservator for an insured state bank if that bank is "critically undercapitalized." For this purpose, "critically undercapitalized" means having a ratio of tangible capital to total assets of less than 2%. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may also appoint a conservator or receiver for a state bank on the basis of the institution's financial condition or upon the occurrence of certain events, including:
o insolvency, or when the assets of the bank are less than its liabilities to depositors and others;
o substantial dissipation of assets or earnings through violations of law or unsafe or unsound practices;
o existence of an unsafe or unsound condition to transact business;
o likelihood that the bank will be unable to meet the demands of its depositors or to pay its obligations in the normal course of business; and
o insufficient capital, or the incurring or likely incurring of losses that will deplete substantially all of the institution's capital with no reasonable prospect of replenishment of capital without federal assistance.
Magyar Bank is in compliance with the Prompt Corrective Action rules.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has
established a system for setting deposit insurance premiums based upon the risks
a particular bank or savings association posed to its deposit insurance funds.
Under the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation assigns an institution to one of three capital categories
based on the institution's financial information, as of the reporting period
ending six months before the assessment period. The three capital categories are
(1) well capitalized, (2) adequately capitalized and (3) undercapitalized. With
respect to the capital ratios, institutions are classified as well capitalized,
adequately capitalized or undercapitalized using ratios that are substantially
similar to the prompt corrective action capital ratios discussed above. The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also assigns an institution to supervisory
subgroups based on a supervisory evaluation provided to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation by the institution's primary federal regulator and
information that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation determines to be
relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the
deposit insurance funds, which may include information provided by the
institution's state supervisor.
An institution's assessment rate depends on the capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. Under the final risk-based assessment system, there are nine assessment
risk classifications, or combinations of capital groups and supervisory subgroups, to which different assessment rates are applied. Assessment rates for deposit insurance currently range from 0 basis points to 27 basis points. The capital and supervisory subgroup to which an institution is assigned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is confidential and may not be disclosed. A bank's rate of deposit insurance assessments will depend upon the category and subcategory to which the bank is assigned by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Any increase in insurance assessments could have an adverse effect on the earnings of insured institutions, including Magyar Bank.
Since January 1, 1997, the premium schedule for insured institutions in the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund has ranged from 0 to 27 basis points. However, Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation or "FICO" assessment, in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the FICO assessment for both Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund insured institutions was equal to 1.44 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at the institution. These assessments, which will be revised based upon the level of Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund deposits, will continue until the bonds mature in the years 2017 through 2019.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate the insurance of an institution's deposits upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The management of Magyar Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES OF MAGYAR BANK. Transactions between an insured bank, such as Magyar Bank, and any of its affiliates is governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and implementing regulations. An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank. Generally, a subsidiary of a bank that is not also a depository institution or financial subsidiary is not treated as an affiliate of the bank for purposes of Sections 23A and 23B.
Section 23A:
o limits the extent to which the bank or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such bank's capital stock and retained earnings, and limits all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and retained earnings; and
o requires that all such transactions be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.
The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of guarantees and other similar types of transactions. Further, most loans by a bank to any of its
affiliates must be secured by collateral in amounts ranging from 100 to 130 percent of the loan amounts. In addition, any covered transaction by a bank with an affiliate and any purchase of assets or services by a bank from an affiliate must be on terms that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank, as those that would be provided to a non-affiliate.
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST TYING ARRANGEMENTS. Banks are subject to the prohibitions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1972 on certain tying arrangements. A depository institution is prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
PRIVACY STANDARDS. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulations require Magyar Bank to disclose their privacy policy, including identifying with whom they share "non-public personal information" to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter.
The regulations also require Magyar Bank to provide their customers with initial and annual notices that accurately reflect its privacy policies and practices. In addition, Magyar Bank is required to provide its customers with the ability to "opt-out" of having Magyar Bank share their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties before they can disclose such information, subject to certain exceptions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other federal banking agencies adopted guidelines establishing standards for safeguarding customer information. The guidelines describe the agencies' expectations for the creation, implementation and maintenance of an information security program, which would include administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the size and complexity of the institution and the nature and scope of its activities. The standards set forth in the guidelines are intended to insure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.
On March 29, 2005, the federal banking regulators jointly issued guidance stating that financial institutions, such as Magyar Bank, should develop and implement a response program to address security breaches involving customer information, including customer notification procedures.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND FAIR LENDING LAWS. All Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In connection with its examination of a state chartered savings bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is required to assess the institution's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. Among other things, the current Community Reinvestment Act regulations replace the prior process-based assessment factors
with a new evaluation system that rates an institution based on its actual performance in meeting community needs. In particular, the current evaluation system focuses on three tests:
o a lending test, to evaluate the institution's record of making loans in its service areas;
o an investment test, to evaluate the institution's record of investing in community development projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and businesses; and
o a service test, to evaluate the institution's delivery of services through its branches, ATMs and other offices.
An institution's failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its activities. We received a "satisfactory" Community Reinvestment Act rating in our most recently completed federal examination, which was conducted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 2001.
In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.
LOANS TO A BANK'S INSIDERS
FEDERAL REGULATION. A bank's loans to its executive officers, directors,
any owner of 10% or more of its stock (each, an insider) and any of certain
entities affiliated with any such person (an insider's related interest) are
subject to the conditions and limitations imposed by Section 22(h) of the
Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulations. Under these restrictions,
the aggregate amount of the loans to any insider and the insider's related
interests may not exceed the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to national
banks, which is comparable to the loans-to-one-borrower limit applicable to
Magyar Bank's loans. See "--New Jersey Banking Regulation--Loans-to-One Borrower
Limitations." All loans by a bank to all insiders and insiders' related
interests in the aggregate may not exceed the bank's unimpaired capital and
unimpaired surplus. With certain exceptions, loans to an executive officer,
other than loans for the education of the officer's children and certain loans
secured by the officer's residence, may not exceed the lesser of (1) $100,000 or
(2) the greater of $25,000 or 2.5% of the bank's unimpaired capital and surplus.
Federal regulation also requires that any proposed loan to an insider or a
related interest of that insider be approved in advance by a majority of the
board of directors of the bank, with any interested directors not participating
in the voting, if such loan, when aggregated with any existing loans to that
insider and the insider's related interests, would exceed either (1) $250,000 or
(2) the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the bank's unimpaired capital and surplus.
Generally, such loans must be made on substantially the same terms as, and
follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those
that are prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons.
An exception is made for extensions of credit made pursuant to a benefit or compensation plan of a bank that is widely available to employees of the bank and that does not give any preference to insiders of the bank over other employees of the bank.
In addition, federal law prohibits extensions of credit to a bank's insiders and their related interests by any other institution that has a correspondent banking relationship with the bank, unless such extension of credit is on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and does not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.
NEW JERSEY REGULATION. Provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act impose conditions and limitations on the liabilities to a savings bank of its directors and executive officers and of corporations and partnerships controlled by such persons that are comparable in many respects to the conditions and limitations imposed on the loans and extensions of credit to insiders and their related interests under federal law, as discussed above. The New Jersey Banking Act also provides that a savings bank that is in compliance with federal law is deemed to be in compliance with such provisions of the New Jersey Banking Act.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
The Federal Reserve Board regulations require all depository institutions to maintain noninterest-earning reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). At June 30, 2005, Magyar Bank was in compliance with the Federal Reserve Board's reserve requirements. Savings associations, such as Magyar Bank, are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window." Magyar Bank is deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be generally sound and thus is eligible to obtain primary credit from its Federal Reserve Bank. Generally, primary credit is extended on a very short-term basis to meet the liquidity needs of the institution. Loans must be secured by acceptable collateral and carry a rate of interest of 100 basis points above the Federal Open Market Committee's federal funds target rate.
THE USA PATRIOT ACT
The USA Patriot Act gives the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA Patriot Act also requires the federal banking agencies to take into consideration the effectiveness of controls designed to combat money laundering activities in determining whether to approve a merger or other acquisition application of a member institution. Accordingly, if we engage in a merger or other acquisition, our controls designed to combat money laundering would be considered as part of the application process. We have established policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations.
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a law that addresses, among other
issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation,
and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by
Section 302(a) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer each will be required to certify that its quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about our internal controls; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be subject to further reporting and audit requirements beginning with the year ending September 30, 2006 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has existing policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and is further enhancing and documenting such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
FEDERAL REGULATION. After the reorganization, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be regulated as a bank holding company. Bank holding companies are subject to examination, regulation and periodic reporting under the Bank Holding Company Act, as administered by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies on a consolidated basis substantially similar to those of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for Magyar Bank. As of June 30, 2005, Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s total capital and Tier 1 capital ratios would, on a pro forma basis, exceed these minimum capital requirements. See "Regulatory Capital Compliance."
Regulations of the Federal Reserve Board provide that a bank holding company must serve as a source of strength to any of its subsidiary banks and must not conduct its activities in an unsafe or unsound manner. Under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, a bank holding company parent of an undercapitalized subsidiary bank would be directed to guarantee, within limitations, the capital restoration plan that is required of such an undercapitalized bank. See "--Federal Banking Regulation--Prompt Corrective Action." If the undercapitalized bank fails to file an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement an accepted plan, the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the bank holding company parent of the undercapitalized bank from paying any dividend or making any other form of capital distribution without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board.
As a bank holding company, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or bank holding company. Prior Federal Reserve Board approval will be required for Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or bank holding company if, after giving effect to such acquisition, it would, directly or indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such bank or bank holding company.
A bank holding company is required to give the Federal Reserve Board prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for
all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, will be equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve Board order or directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. Such notice and approval is not required for a bank holding company that would be treated as "well capitalized" under applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, that has received a composite "1" or "2" rating, as well as a "satisfactory" rating for management, at its most recent bank holding company inspection by the Federal Reserve Board, and that is not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues.
In addition, a bank holding company that does not elect to be a financial holding company under federal regulation, is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be permissible. Some of the principal activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be so closely related to banking as to be permissible are:
o making or servicing loans;
o performing certain data processing services;
o providing discount brokerage services; or acting as fiduciary, investment or financial advisor;
o leasing personal or real property;
o making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare; and
o acquiring a savings and loan association.
Bank holding companies that elect to be a financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or incident to activities which are financial in nature. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has not elected to be a financial holding company, although it may seek to do so in the future. Bank holding companies may elect to become a financial holding company if:
o each of its depository institution subsidiaries is "well capitalized";
o each of its depository institution subsidiaries is "well managed";
o each of its depository institution subsidiaries has at least a "satisfactory" Community Reinvestment Act rating at its most recent examination; and
o the bank holding company has filed a certification with the Federal Reserve Board stating that it elects to become a financial holding company.
Under federal law, depository institutions are liable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for losses suffered or anticipated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with the default of a commonly controlled depository institution or any assistance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to such an institution in danger of default. This law would potentially be applicable to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. if it ever acquired as a separate subsidiary a depository institution in addition to Magyar Bank.
It has been the policy of many mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends declared by its subsidiary. In connection with its approval of the reorganization, however, the Federal Reserve Board will impose certain conditions on the waiver by Magyar Bancorp, MHC of dividends paid on the common stock. In particular, Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be required to obtain prior Federal Reserve Board approval before it may waive any dividends. As of the date hereof, management does not believe that the Federal Reserve Board has given its approval to any waiver of dividends by any mutual holding company that has requested its approval. Additionally, in accordance with conditions imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with initial reorganizations in 1997, the cumulative amount of waived dividends, if any, must be for distribution to public stockholders. See "Supervision and Regulation-Holding Company Regulation." It is not currently intended that Magyar Bancorp, MHC will waive dividends declared by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
CONVERSION OF MAGYAR BANCORP, MHC TO STOCK FORM. The plan of reorganization permits Magyar Bancorp, MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization (a "Conversion Transaction"). There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur, and the Board of Directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a Conversion Transaction. In a Conversion Transaction a new stock holding company would be formed as the successor to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the "New Holding Company"), Magyar Bancorp, MHC's corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Magyar Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the New Holding Company. In a Conversion Transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC ("Minority Stockholders") would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of the New Holding Company determined pursuant to an exchange ratio that ensures that Minority Stockholders own the same percentage of common stock in the New Holding Company as they owned in Magyar Bancorp, Inc. immediately before the Conversion Transaction, subject to any adjustment required by regulation or regulatory policy. The total number of shares held by Minority Stockholders after a Conversion Transaction also would be increased by any purchases by Minority Stockholders in the offering conducted as part of the Conversion Transaction.
Any Conversion Transaction would require the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock held by Minority Stockholders and approval of a majority of the votes held by depositors of Magyar Bank.
NEW JERSEY REGULATION. Under the New Jersey Banking Act, a company owning or controlling a savings bank is regulated as a bank holding company. The New Jersey Banking
Act defines the terms "company" and "bank holding company" as such terms are defined under the BHCA. Each bank holding company controlling a New Jersey-chartered bank or savings bank must file certain reports with the Commissioner and is subject to examination by the Commissioner.
ACQUISITION OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. Under federal law and under the New Jersey Banking Act, no person may acquire control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank without first obtaining approval of such acquisition of control by the Federal Reserve Board and the Commissioner. See "Restrictions on Acquisition of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank."
FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. Upon completion of the offering, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will then be subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of the common stock in the offering does not cover the resale of the shares. Shares of the common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. who complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three month period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. Provision may be made in the future by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
MANAGEMENT
SHARED MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
The directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. are those same persons who are the directors of Magyar Bank.

Although there are no present plans to do so, both Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank may choose to appoint additional or different persons as directors and executive officers in the future.
We expect that Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank will continue to have common executive officers until there is a business reason to establish separate management structures. To date, directors and executive officers have been compensated for their services to Magyar Bank. These individuals may receive additional compensation for their services to Magyar Bancorp, Inc.

BENEFIT PLANS
DIRECTOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS. In February 2004, Magyar Bank entered into Director Supplemental Retirement Income and Deferred Compensation Agreements with each of directors Elizabeth E. Hance, Andrew Hodulik, Thomas Lankey, Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr., Martin Lukacs, Salvatore Romano, Edward Stokes, and Joseph Yelencsics in order to provide retirement, disability and death benefits to such directors and their beneficiaries. The agreements with each director replace a prior non-qualified deferred compensation plan under which each director deferred all or a portion of his or her board fees, committee fees and retainer and such deferrals generated earnings at a 10% interest rate. Under the replacement agreements, each director makes an elective contribution equal to such director's voluntary monthly pre-tax deferrals of board fees, committee fees and or retainer to a so-called secular trust (i.e., a trust where the individual is the grantor) established by such director with the assistance of Magyar Bank; each such trust is referred to as a retirement income trust fund. In addition, Magyar Bank contributes an amount to the retirement income trust funds to supplement the directors' deferrals, and replace the 10% interest that would have accrued under the prior nonqualified plan. Magyar Bank also makes a contribution, actuarially determined to be equal to the amount necessary to support the annual retirement benefit payable to the director once he reaches his benefit age, based upon a percentage of the director's total board fees, committee fees and/or retainer in the twelve-month period prior to the date on which the director is entitled to receive retirement benefits. Provided a director has served for at least five years, the director's retirement benefit will be at least 50% of such board fees, committee fees and/or retainer, with a maximum retirement benefit of 60%, based on years of service. If a director serves less than five years at termination of service, the benefit to such director would be between 12 1/2% and 20% of such fees and/or retainer. Any director who serves as board chairman for a five-year term (other than the chairman serving as of February 1, 2004) will be entitled to receive a maximum benefit equal to 75% of his fees and/or retainer. Funds contributed to the retirement income trust fund will be invested by the trustee and are taxable to the director in the year of the contribution. Each director is annually given a limited period of time following
Magyar Bank's contribution to the director's retirement income trust fund to withdraw the contribution to such director's retirement income trust fund, provided, however, that if a director exercises his withdrawal rights, Magyar Bank will thereafter cease making contributions to the retirement income trust fund and will instead commence bookkeeping entries representing phantom contributions towards the director's accrued benefit account.
Upon retirement, the amounts accumulated in the director's retirement income trust fund and/or phantom contributions to any accrued benefit account established for such director, if any, will be annuitized and paid in monthly installments for the payout period unless the director has elected a lump sum payment. In the event the director dies after attaining his benefit age but prior to commencement or completion of his monthly payments, the amounts accrued for the benefit of the director will be paid to his or her beneficiary in either monthly installments or a lump sum. In the event a director has elected to receive a lump sum benefit and dies while employed by Magyar Bank, the balance of his benefit will be paid to his beneficiary in a lump sum. In the event the director's service is terminated prior to benefit age due to disability, the director will also be entitled to a lump sum benefit.
EXECUTIVE SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT INCOME AGREEMENT. In 1996, Magyar Bank adopted an Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement for Elizabeth Hance ("SERP"). The SERP is designed to provide an annual benefit to Ms. Hance at age 65 equal to $59,191, payable monthly for a period of 180 months following retirement. A secular trust (i.e., a grantor trust established by the individual and not the bank) has also been established by Ms. Hance, with the assistance of Magyar Bank, in connection with the establishment of the SERP. An amount is annually contributed by Magyar Bank to Ms. Hance's secular trust, in an amount intended to be sufficient to fully fund the expected benefit at Ms. Hance's retirement. The amount contributed to the secular trust each year is taxable to Ms. Hance in the year of the contribution. Ms. Hance is annually given a limited period of time following Magyar Bank's contribution to her secular trust to withdraw the contribution, provided, however, that if she exercises her withdrawal rights, Magyar Bank will thereafter cease making contributions to the secular trust and will instead commence bookkeeping entries representing phantom contributions towards an accrued benefit account that Magyar Bank will establish on its books.
In the event of Ms. Hance's voluntary or involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than cause or due to a change in control, or in the event of disability or death during employment, Ms. Hance, or her beneficiary, as applicable, will receive an annuitized benefit based on the contributions and/or phantom contributions, if any, to the secular trust and/or accrued benefit account, respectively, made or required to be made as of the date of such termination, disability or death. The benefits due on death or disability will be paid shortly following the occurrence of such event. The benefits due on a voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, other than due to cause or a change in control, will be paid at the time Ms. Hance attains age 65. In the event of a change in control of Magyar Bank followed within 60 months by Ms. Hance's involuntary termination of employment or resignation due to the occurrence of certain events, then Magyar Bank, or its successor will be required to make a final contribution to the secular trust or a final phantom contribution to the accrued benefit account, as applicable, equal to the present value of all future contributions which would have been made had she continued in employment until her retirement age, subject to reduction to
avoid an excise tax on excess parachute payments. The benefit payable to Ms.
Hance following a change in control will not be paid until Ms. Hance attains age
65. If a timely election has been made, the benefits payable from the SERP will
be paid to Ms. Hance, or her beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum.
In consideration of the right to receive the promised benefits, Ms. Hance has agreed that during employment and, thereafter, during the period over which the annual benefits will be paid, she will not engage in any activity which is directly or indirectly competitive with Magyar Bank.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. intends to enter into employment agreement with Elizabeth E. Hance. The agreement will have an initial term of three years. Unless notice of non-renewal is provided, the agreement renews annually. Under the agreement, the initial base salary is $______. The base salary will be reviewed at least annually and may be increased, but not decreased. In addition to base salary, the agreement provides for, among other things, participation in bonus programs and other employee pension benefit and fringe benefit plans applicable to executive employees, use of an automobile and reimbursement of expenses associated with the use of such automobile. The executive's employment may be terminated for just cause at any time, in which event the executive would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.
The executive is entitled to severance payments and benefits in the event of her termination of employment under specified circumstances. In the event the executive's employment is terminated for reasons other than for just cause, disability or retirement, or in the event the executive resigns during the term of the agreement following (1) the failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint executive to her executive position, (2) a material change in the executive's functions, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause executive's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance or scope, (3) the liquidation or dissolution of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank, (4) a breach of the employment agreement by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the executive would be entitled to a severance payment equal to three times the executive's base salary, and the executive is entitled to the continuation of life, medical, and dental coverage for 36 months. In the event of a termination following a change in control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the executive is entitled to a severance payment equal to three times the sum of the executive's base salary and the highest rate of bonus paid to her during the prior three years, plus the continuation of insurance coverage for 36 months. In the event that the severance payment provisions of the employment agreement are triggered, the executive would be entitled to a cash severance benefit in the amount of approximately $630,000. The executive would be entitled to no additional benefits under the employment agreement upon retirement at age 65. In the event of the termination of Ms. Hance's employment, Ms. Hance also agrees to resign from the Board of Directors.
Upon termination of the executive's employment other than in connection with a change in control, the executive agrees not to compete with Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for one year following termination of employment within 25 miles of any existing branch of Magyar Bank or 25 miles of any office for which Magyar Bank or a subsidiary has filed an application for regulatory approval. Should the executive become disabled, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. would continue to pay the executive her base salary for the longer of the remaining term of the agreement or one year,
provided that any amount paid to the executive pursuant to any disability insurance would reduce the compensation she would receive. In the event the executive dies while employed by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the executive's estate will be paid the executive's base salary for one year and the executive's family will be entitled to continuation of medical and dental benefits for one year after the executive's death.
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENTS. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. intends to enter into change-in-control agreements with John Ansari and John Fitzgerald , which would provide certain benefits in the event of a termination of employment following a change in control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank. Each of the change-in-control agreements provides for a term of two years. Commencing on each anniversary date, the agreements will be renewed for an additional year so that the remaining term will be two years, subject to termination by the Board of Directors on notice of non-renewal. The change-in-control agreements enable Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to offer to designated officers certain protections against termination without just cause in the event of a change in control. Such protections are frequently offered by other financial institutions, and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may be at a competitive disadvantage in attracting and retaining key employees if it does not offer similar protections.
Following a change in control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank, an
officer is entitled under the agreement to a payment if the officer's employment
is terminated during the term of such agreement, other than for just cause, or
if the officer voluntarily terminates employment during the term of such
agreement as a result of a demotion, loss of title, office or significant
authority (in each case, other than as a result of the fact that either Magyar
Bank or Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is merged into another entity in connection with a
change in control and will not operate as a stand-alone, independent entity),
reduction in his annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of his or her
principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location
immediately prior to the change in control. In the event an officer who is a
party to a change-in-control agreement is entitled to receive payments pursuant
to the change-in-control agreement, he will receive a cash payment equal to two
times the sum of his highest rate of base salary and the highest rate of bonus
awarded to the executive during the prior three years, payable in a lump sum. In
addition to the cash payment, each covered officer is entitled to receive life,
medical, and dental coverage for a period of 24 months from the date of
termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the
change-in-control agreements, payments under the change in control agreements
are limited so that they will not constitute an excess parachute payment under
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN. Magyar Bank maintains the Magyar Savings Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan which is a qualified, tax-exempt profit sharing plan with a salary deferral feature under Section 401(k) of the Code (the "401(k) Plan"). All employees who have attained age 21 and have completed six consecutive calendar months of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, participants are permitted to make salary reduction contributions up to the lesser of 60% of compensation or $14,000 (as indexed annually). All employee contributions and earnings thereon are fully and immediately vested. The employer makes annual non-matching contributions equal to 3% of each participant's eligible compensation. Participants are 100% vested at all times in employer non-matching contributions. However, employer contributions made on or prior to January 1, 2004 will vest over a five-year period, at the rate of 20% per year. Withdrawals of employer non-matching
contributions are permitted upon the participant's termination of employment, retirement, death, disability, or attainment of age 59 1/2 while the participant is employed. A participant may withdraw his elective contributions upon termination of employment, retirement, death, disability, attainment of age 59 1/2 while the participant is employed, or in the event of financial hardship. The 401(k) Plan permits loans to participants. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to direct the investment of their own accounts into various investment options. Participants are entitled to benefit payments upon termination of employment due to normal or early retirement, disability or death. Benefits will be distributed in the form of a lump sum unless the participant elects installment payments over a period not exceeding the shorter of 15 years or the participant's life expectancy. In connection with the conversion of Magyar Bank into the mutual holding company form of ownership, an employer stock fund will be created within the 401(k) Plan that will permit participants in the 401(k) Plan to purchase shares of employer stock for their accounts.
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN. Magyar Bank sponsors the Magyar Savings Bank Retirement Plan, which is a qualified, tax-exempt defined benefit plan (the "Retirement Plan"). Any employee age 21 or older who has completed one year of service with Magyar Bank in which the employee has completed at least 1,000 hours of service is eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan. Magyar Bank annually contributes an amount to the plan necessary to satisfy the minimum funding requirements established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The regular form of retirement benefit is a life annuity (if the participant is single) and a joint and survivor annuity (if the participant is married); however, various alternative forms of joint and survivor annuities may be selected instead. In the event a participant dies before his annuity starting date, death benefits will generally be paid to the participant's surviving spouse in the form of a pre-retirement survivor annuity.
A participant who retires on his normal retirement date is entitled to an annual benefit equal to his accrued benefit based on a retirement benefit formula equal to the sum of 35% of the participant's average annual compensation plus 22.75% of his average annual compensation in excess of covered compensation. However, participants who have earned less than 35 years of service at the end of the plan year in which they attain normal retirement age will be entitled to reduced benefits. The minimum amount of annual retirement benefit provided to participants who retire on their normal retirement date will be equal to 1.5% of the participant's average annual compensation multiplied by the participant's number of years of service, up to a maximum of 30 years.
The following table indicates the annual retirement benefit that would be payable under the plan upon retirement at age 65 in calendar year 2005, expressed in the form of a single life annuity for the final average salary and benefit service classification specified below:

STOCK BENEFIT PLANS
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST. We intend to implement an employee stock ownership plan in connection with the offering. The Board of Directors of Magyar Bank intends to adopt the employee stock ownership plan, and the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will, at the completion of the offering, ratify the loan to the employee stock ownership plan. Employees who are at least 21 years old with at least one year of employment with Magyar Bank are eligible to participate. As part of the offering, the employee stock ownership plan trust intends to borrow funds from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and use those funds to purchase a number of shares equal to 8% of the common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. Collateral for the loan will be the common stock purchased by the employee stock ownership plan. The loan will be repaid principally from Magyar Bank discretionary contributions to the employee stock ownership plan over a period of up to 30 years. The loan documents will provide that the loan may be repaid over a shorter period, without penalty for prepayments. It is anticipated that the interest rate for the loan will be an adjustable-rate, adjusting annually, equal to the prime rate at the closing of the stock offering and adjusting to the beginning of each calendar year. Shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan will be held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.
Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan and shares released from the suspense account in an amount proportional to the repayment of the employee stock ownership plan loan will be allocated among employee stock ownership plan participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation. Benefits under the plan will vest at the rate of 20% per year so that a participant who has five years of credited service after adoption of the plan will be fully vested in his or her account balance under the plan. A participant's interest in his account under the plan will also fully vest in the event of termination of service due to a participant's early or normal retirement, death, disability, or upon a change in control (as defined in the plan). Vested benefits will be payable generally in the form of common stock or cash in accordance with the plan's terms. Magyar Bank's contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are discretionary, subject to the loan terms and tax law limits. Therefore, benefits payable under the employee stock ownership plan cannot be estimated. Pursuant to SOP 93-6, we will be required to record compensation expense each year in an amount equal to the fair market value of the
shares released from the suspense account. In the event of a change in control, the employee stock ownership plan will terminate.
STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLAN. Following the stock offering, we intend to adopt a stock-based incentive plan that will provide for grants of stock options and restricted common stock awards. The number of options granted or shares awarded under the plan may not exceed 10% and 4%, respectively, of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. The number of options granted or shares awarded under the plan, when aggregated with any subsequently adopted stock-based benefit plans (exclusive of any shares held by any employee stock ownership plan), may not exceed 25% of the number of shares of common stock held by persons other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
The stock-based incentive plan will not be established sooner than six months after the offering and would require the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. eligible to be cast (excluding votes eligible to be cast by Magyar Bancorp, MHC). If the stock-based benefit plan is established no earlier than one year after the offering, it would require the approval of our stockholders by a majority of votes cast (excluding shares voted by Magyar Bancorp, MHC). The following additional restrictions would apply to our stock-based incentive plan:
o non-employee directors in the aggregate may not receive more than 30% of the options and restricted awards authorized under the plan;
o any one non-employee director may not receive more than 5% of the options and restricted awards authorized under the plan;
o any officer or employee may not receive more than 25% of the options and restricted awards authorized under the plan;
o the options and restricted awards may not vest more rapidly than 20% per year, beginning on the first anniversary of stockholder approval of the plan; and
o accelerated vesting is not permitted except for death, disability or upon a change in control of Magyar Bank or Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
In the event either federal or state regulators change their regulations or policies regarding stock-based benefit plans, including any regulations or policies restricting the size of awards and vesting of benefits as described above, the restrictions described above may not be applicable.
TRANSACTIONS WITH CERTAIN RELATED PERSONS
LOANS AND EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits us from making loans to our executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from such prohibition for loans made by Magyar Bank to our executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. Federal regulations require that all loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors of insured institutions must be made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Magyar Bank is therefore prohibited from making any loans or extensions of credit to executive officers and directors at different rates or terms than those offered to the general public, except for loans made under a benefit program generally available to all other employees and that does not give preference to any executive officer or director over any other employee.
In addition, loans made to a director or executive officer must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. The aggregate amount of our loans to our officers and directors was $2.6 million at June 30, 2005. These loans were performing according to their original terms at June 30, 2005.
OTHER TRANSACTIONS. During the year ended September 30, 2004, the law firm of Stokes and Throckmorton received fees of $71,000 for services rendered on behalf of Magyar Bank, including fees paid by borrowers in connection with loan closings. Director Edward C. Stokes, III is a partner of the law firm.
PARTICIPATION BY DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE STOCK OFFERING
The following table sets forth information regarding intended common stock purchases by each of the directors and executive officers of Magyar Bank and their associates, and by all directors and executive officers as a group. In the event the individual maximum purchase limitation is increased, persons subscribing for the maximum amount may increase their purchase order. Directors and executive officers will purchase shares of common stock at the same $10.00 purchase price per share and on the same terms as other purchasers in the offering. This table excludes shares of common stock to be purchased by the employee stock ownership plan, as well as any stock awards or stock option grants that may be made no earlier than six months after the completion of the offering. The directors and officers have indicated their intention to purchase in the offering an aggregate of $1.5 million of shares of common stock, equal to 7.6% of the number of shares of common stock to be sold in the stock offering, at the midpoint of the estimated valuation range.

THE REORGANIZATION AND THE STOCK OFFERING
GENERAL
On July 6, 2005, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted the plan pursuant to which we will reorganize from a New Jersey-chartered mutual savings bank into a two-tier mutual holding company structure. The plan has been approved by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to, among other things, approval of the plan by our depositors as of the voting record date. A special meeting of depositors has been called for this purpose, to be held on ___________, 2005. The reorganization will be completed as follows, or in any manner approved by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that is consistent with the purposes of the plan and applicable laws and regulations:
(i) Magyar Bank will organize an interim stock savings bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Interim One");
(ii) Interim One will organize an interim stock savings bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary ("Interim Two");
(iii) Interim One will organize Magyar Bancorp, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary;
(iv) Magyar Bank will amend its charter to be in the form of a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank charter, at which time it will become a stock savings bank (the "Stock Bank"), and Interim One will exchange its charter for a New Jersey mutual holding company charter to become Magyar Bancorp, MHC;
(v) simultaneously with step (iv), Interim Two will merge with and into the Stock Bank, and the Stock Bank will be the surviving institution;
(vi) all of the stock constructively issued by the Stock Bank will be transferred to Magyar Bancorp, MHC in exchange for membership interests in Magyar Bancorp, MHC; and
(vii) Magyar Bancorp, MHC will contribute the Stock Bank's stock to Magyar Bancorp, Inc., and the Stock Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
We have mailed to each person eligible to vote at the special meeting a proxy statement containing information concerning the business purposes of the reorganization and the effects of the reorganization on voting rights, liquidation rights, existing savings accounts, deposit insurance, loans and Magyar Bank's business. The proxy statement also describes the manner in which the plan may be amended or terminated. Included with the proxy statement is a proxy card to be used to vote on the plan.
Concurrently with the reorganization, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will sell shares of its common stock to depositors of Magyar Bank and certain other persons, and issue shares of its common stock to Magyar Bancorp, MHC. We also intend to contribute up to 91,080 shares of
common stock or 1.77% of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that will be outstanding following the offering and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by Magyar Bank. After the reorganization and the offering, purchasers in the stock offering will own 44.20% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s outstanding shares of common stock, Magyar Bancorp, MHC will own 54.03% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s outstanding shares of common stock and the Charitable Foundation will own 1.77%.
The aggregate price of the shares of common stock sold in the offering will be within an offering range of between $16.8 million and $22.8 (or $26.2 million at the adjusted maximum) million has been established by the Board of Directors, based upon an independent appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. The appraisal was prepared by FinPro, Inc., a consulting firm experienced in the valuation and appraisal of savings institutions. All shares of common stock to be sold in the stock offering will be sold at the same price per share. The independent appraisal will be affirmed or, if necessary, updated at the completion of the offering. See "How We Determined Stock Pricing and the Number of Shares to be Issued" for additional information as to the determination of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock.
REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION
The primary purpose of the reorganization is to establish a holding company and to convert Magyar Bank to the stock form of ownership in order to compete and expand more effectively in the financial services marketplace. The stock form of ownership is the corporate form used by commercial banks, most major businesses and a large number of savings institutions. The reorganization also will enable customers, employees, management and directors to have an equity ownership interest in our company. Management believes that this will enhance the long-term growth and performance of Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. by enabling us to attract and retain qualified employees who have a direct interest in our financial success. The reorganization will permit us to issue and sell capital stock, which is a source of capital not available to mutual savings associations. Since we will not be offering all of our common stock for sale in the offering, the reorganization will result in less capital raised in comparison to a standard mutual-to-stock conversion. We are not undertaking a standard mutual-to-stock conversion at this time since we do not believe we could effectively deploy that amount of additional capital on a short-term or near-term basis. The reorganization, however, also will allow us to raise additional capital in the future because a majority of our shares of common stock will be available for sale in the event of a conversion of Magyar Bancorp, MHC to stock form. The reorganization also will give us greater flexibility to structure and finance the expansion of our operations, including the potential acquisition of other financial institutions, and to diversify into other financial services, to the extent permissible by applicable law and regulation. Although there are no current arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding any such opportunities, we will be in a position after the reorganization, subject to regulatory
limitations and our financial condition, to take advantage of any such opportunities that may arise. Lastly, the reorganization will enable us to better manage our capital by providing broader investment opportunities through the holding company structure and by enabling us to repurchase our shares of common stock as market conditions permit. Although the reorganization and offering will create a stock association and stock holding company, only a minority of the common stock will be offered for sale in the offering. As a result, our mutual form of ownership and its ability to provide community-oriented financial services will be preserved through the mutual holding company structure.
The board of directors believes that these advantages outweigh the potential disadvantages of the mutual holding company structure, including the inability of stockholders other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC to own a majority of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank. A majority of our voting stock will be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC, which will be controlled by its board of directors. While this structure will permit management to focus on our long-term business strategy for growth and capital redeployment without undue pressure from stockholders, it will also serve to perpetuate our existing management and directors. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be able to elect all the members of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s board of directors, and will be able to control the outcome of all matters presented to our stockholders for resolution by vote. No assurance can be given that Magyar Bancorp, MHC will not take action adverse to the interests of stockholders, other than the mutual holding company. For example, Magyar Bancorp, MHC could prevent the sale of control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., or defeat a candidate for the board of directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or other proposals put forth by stockholders.
The reorganization does not preclude the conversion of Magyar Bancorp, MHC from the mutual to stock form of organization in the future. No assurance can be given when, if ever, Magyar Bancorp, MHC will convert to stock form or what conditions the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance or other regulatory agencies may impose on such a transaction. See "Risk Factors" and "Summary--Possible Conversion of Magyar Bancorp, MHC to Stock Form."
EFFECTS OF THE REORGANIZATION AND OFFERING ON DEPOSITORS AND BORROWERS OF MAGYAR BANK
GENERAL. Each depositor in a New Jersey mutual savings bank has both a deposit account in the institution and a pro rata ownership interest in the equity of the savings institution based upon the balance in the depositor's account. This interest may only be realized in the event of a liquidation of the savings institution. However, this ownership interest is tied to the depositor's account and has no tangible market value separate from such deposit account. Any depositor who opens a deposit account obtains a pro rata ownership interest in the equity of the institution without any additional payment beyond the amount of the deposit. A depositor who reduces or closes such depositor's account receives the balance in the account but receives nothing for such depositor's ownership interest in the equity of the institution, which is lost to the extent that the balance in the account is reduced. Consequently, depositors of a mutual savings bank have no way to realize the value of their ownership interest, except in the unlikely event that the mutual savings bank is liquidated. In such event, the depositors of record at that time would share pro rata in any residual surplus and reserves after other claims, including claims of depositors to the amounts of their deposits, are paid.
When a mutual savings bank converts to stock form, permanent non-withdrawable capital stock is created to represent the ownership of the institution's equity and the former pro rata ownership of depositors is thereafter represented exclusively by their liquidation rights. SUCH CAPITAL STOCK IS SEPARATE AND APART FROM DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND CANNOT BE AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. Certificates are issued to evidence ownership of the capital stock sold in connection with the reorganization. The stock certificates are transferable, and therefore, the stock may be sold or traded with no effect on any deposit account the seller may hold in the institution.
CONTINUITY. While the reorganization is being accomplished, and after its completion, the routine business of accepting deposits and making loans of Magyar Bank will continue without interruption. Magyar Bank will continue to be subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. After the reorganization, Magyar Bank will continue to provide services for depositors and borrowers under current policies by our management and staff.
VOTING RIGHTS OF DEPOSITORS. Voting rights and control of Magyar Bank, as a mutual savings bank, are vested in the Board of Directors. After the reorganization, direction of Magyar Bank will be under the control of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp Inc., as the holder of all of the outstanding common stock of Magyar Bank, will have exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters concerning Magyar Bank requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors of Magyar Bank.
After the reorganization, the holders of common stock of Magyar Bancorp will have exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters concerning Magyar Bancorp. These voting rights will be exclusive except to the extent Magyar Bancorp in the future issues preferred stock with voting rights. Each holder of common stock will be entitled to vote on any matters to be considered by Magyar Bancorp Inc.'s stockholders, including the election of directors of Magyar Bancorp Inc., subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Magyar Bancorp Inc.'s certificate of incorporation discussed below.
By virtue of its ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp Inc., Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be able to elect all members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and generally will be able to control the outcome of most matters presented to the stockholders of Magyar Bancorp Inc. for resolution by vote. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be controlled by its Board of Directors, which will initially consist of the current members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bank. Under the mutual form of ownership, existing directors of Magyar Bancorp, MHC elect new directors.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. Following the completion of the reorganization, all depositors who had liquidation rights with respect to Magyar Bank as of the effective date of the reorganization will continue to have such rights solely with respect to Magyar Bancorp, MHC so long as they continue to hold deposit accounts with Magyar Bank. In addition, all persons who become depositors of Magyar Bank subsequent to the reorganization will have such liquidation rights with respect to Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND LOANS. Under the plan of reorganization, each depositor of Magyar Bank at the time of the reorganization will automatically continue as a depositor after the reorganization, and each such deposit account will remain the same with respect to deposit balance, interest rate and other terms, except to the extent such deposit is reduced by withdrawals to purchase common stock in the offering. All insured deposit accounts of Magyar Bank will continue to be federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the legal maximum limit in the same manner as deposit accounts existing in Magyar Bank immediately prior to the reorganization. Furthermore, no loan outstanding will be affected by the reorganization, and the amounts, interest rates, maturity and security for each loan will remain the same as they were prior to the reorganization.
OFFERING OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Under the plan of reorganization, up to 2,618,550 shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock will be offered for sale at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to certain restrictions described below, through a subscription and community offering.
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING. The subscription offering will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [expiration date], unless otherwise extended by Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc. All shares to be sold in the stock offering must be sold within a period ending not more than 45 days after the expiration of the subscription offering. This period expires on [extension date]. If the offering is not completed by [extension date], all subscribers will have the right to modify or rescind their subscriptions and to have their subscription funds returned promptly with interest. In the event of an extension of this type, all subscribers will be notified in writing of the time period within which subscribers must notify Magyar Bank of their intention to maintain, modify or rescind their subscriptions. If the subscriber rescinds or does not respond in any manner to Magyar Bank's notice, the funds submitted will be refunded to the subscriber with interest at Magyar Bank's current passbook savings rate, and/or the subscriber's withdrawal authorizations will be terminated. In the event that the offering is not effected, all funds submitted and not previously refunded pursuant to the subscription and community offering will be promptly refunded to subscribers with interest at Magyar Bank's current passbook savings rate, and all withdrawal authorizations will be terminated.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS. Under the plan of reorganization, nontransferable subscription rights to purchase the shares of common stock have been issued to persons and entities entitled to purchase the shares of common stock in the subscription offering. The amount of shares of common stock that these parties may purchase will depend on the availability of the common stock for purchase under the categories described in the plan of reorganization. Subscription priorities have been established for the allocation of shares of common stock to the extent that the common stock are available. These priorities are as follows:
CATEGORY 1: ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS. Subject to the maximum purchase limitations, each depositor with $50 or more on deposit at Magyar Bank, as of the close of business on June 30, 2004, will receive nontransferable subscription rights to subscribe for up to the greater of the following:
(i) $250,000 of common stock;
(ii) one-tenth of one percent of the total offering of common stock; or
(iii) 15 times the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number, obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of common stock to be sold by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the qualifying deposit of the eligible account holder and the denominator is the total amount of qualifying deposits of all eligible account holders.
If the exercise of subscription rights in this category results in an oversubscription, shares of common stock will be allocated among subscribing eligible account holders so as to permit each one, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make the person's total allocation equal 100 shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for, whichever is less. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated among the remaining subscribing eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective qualifying deposits bear to the total amount of qualifying deposits of all remaining eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled; however, no fractional shares will be issued. If the amount so allocated exceeds the amount subscribed for by any one or more eligible account holders, the excess will be reallocated, one or more times as necessary, among those eligible account holders whose subscriptions are still not fully satisfied on the same principle until all available shares have been allocated or all subscriptions satisfied. Subscription rights received by officers and directors in this category based on their increased deposits in Magyar Bank in the one-year period preceding June 30, 2004 are subordinated to the subscription rights of other eligible account holders.
CATEGORY 2: TAX-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE PLANS. The tax-qualified employee plans of Magyar Bank, such as the employee stock ownership plan and Magyar Bank's existing 401(k) plan, have nontransferable subscription rights to purchase up to 10% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering. The employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 8.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation. If there are insufficient shares available to satisfy the aggregate subscriptions of the employee stock ownership plan and the 401(k) plan, available shares will be allocated first to satisfy the subscription of the 401(k) plan and then, to the extent shares remain available, to satisfy the subscription of the employee stock ownership plan. If any of Magyar Bank's tax-qualified employee plans' subscriptions are not filled in their entirety, the plans may purchase shares of common stock in the open market. Further, if Magyar Bank's employee stock ownership plan's subscription is not filled in its entirety, it may purchase shares of common stock directly from the holding company subsequent to completion of the offering. Finally, if market conditions warrant, in the judgment of its trustee, the employee stock ownership plan may elect to fill its subscription rights, in whole or in part, through open-market purchases.
CATEGORY 3: SUPPLEMENTAL ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS. To the extent that there are sufficient shares of common stock remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by eligible account holders and the tax-qualified employee plans, and subject to the maximum purchase limitations, each depositor with $50 or more on deposit as of the close of business on September 30, 2005, will receive nontransferable subscription rights to subscribe for up to the greater of:
(i) $250,000 of common stock;
(ii) one-tenth of one percent of the total offering of common stock; or
(iii) 15 times the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number, obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of common stock to be issued by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of qualifying deposits of the supplemental eligible account holder and the denominator is the total amount of qualifying deposits of all supplemental eligible account holders.
If the exercise of subscription rights in this category results in an oversubscription, shares of common stock will be allocated among subscribing supplemental eligible account holders so as to permit each supplemental eligible account holder, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal 100 shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for, whichever is less. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated among subscribing supplemental eligible account holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective qualifying deposits bear to total qualifying deposits of all subscribing supplemental eligible account holders.
CATEGORY 4: OTHER VOTING DEPOSITORS. To the extent that there are sufficient shares of common stock remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by eligible account holders, the tax-qualified employee plans and supplemental eligible account holders, and subject to the maximum purchase limitations, each depositor of Magyar Bank who is not an eligible account holder, supplemental eligible account holder or tax-qualified employee plan, as of the close of business on [voting record date], will receive nontransferable subscription rights to purchase $100,000 of common stock.
If the exercise of subscription rights in this category results in an oversubscription, shares of common stock will be allocated among subscribing voting depositors so as to permit each voting depositor, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal 100 shares or the number of shares actually subscribed for, whichever is less. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated among subscribing voting depositors whose subscriptions remain unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective qualifying deposits bear to total qualifying deposits of all subscribing voting depositors.
COMMUNITY OFFERING. Any shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed for in the subscription offering may be offered by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. in a community offering to members of the general public to whom Magyar Bancorp, Inc. delivers a copy of this prospectus and a stock order form, with preference given to natural persons residing in Middlesex and Somerset Counties, New Jersey (the "Local Community"). We will consider persons residing in one of the specified counties if they occupy a dwelling in the county and establish an ongoing physical presence in the county that is not merely transitory in nature. We may utilize depositor or loan records or other evidence provided to us to make a determination as to whether a person is a resident in one of the specified counties. In all cases, the determination of residence status will be made by us in our sole discretion. Subject to the maximum purchase limitations, these persons may purchase up to $250,000 of shares of common stock. The community offering, if any, may begin concurrently with, during or promptly after the subscription offering, and may terminate at any time without notice, but may not terminate later than [extension date], unless extended by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank. If we extend the offering, all subscribers
will be notified of the extension and of the duration of any extension that has been granted, and will have the right to conform, increase, decrease or rescind their orders. If we do not receive an affirmative response from a subscriber to any resolicitation, the subscribers order will be rescinded and all funds received will be promptly returned with interest. Subject to any required regulatory approvals, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will determine, in its discretion, the advisability of a community offering, the commencement and expiration dates of any community offering, and the methods of finding potential purchasers in such offering.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBSCRIBE FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE COMMUNITY OFFERING CATEGORY IS SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND MAGYAR BANK, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THESE ORDERS IN WHOLE OR IN
PART EITHER AT THE TIME OF RECEIPT OF AN ORDER OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
THEREAFTER. IF YOUR ORDER IS REJECTED IN PART, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THE REMAINDER OF YOUR ORDER.
If there are not sufficient shares of common stock available to fill orders in the community offering, the shares of common stock will be allocated, if possible, first to each natural person residing in the Local Community whose order is accepted by Magyar Bank, in an amount equal to the lesser of 1,000 shares of common stock or the number of shares of common stock subscribed for by each subscriber residing in the Local Community. Thereafter, unallocated shares of common stock will be allocated among the subscribers residing in the Local Community, whose orders remain unsatisfied, in the same proportion that the unfilled subscription of each bears to the total unfilled subscriptions of all subscribers residing in the Local Community whose subscription remains unsatisfied. If there are any shares of common stock remaining, shares will be allocated to other members of the general public who subscribe in the community offering applying the same allocation described above for subscribers residing in the Local Community.
SYNDICATED COMMUNITY OFFERING. The plan of reorganization provides that shares of common stock not purchased in the subscription offering and community offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a syndicated community offering to be managed by Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., acting as our agent. In such capacity, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. may form a syndicate of other brokers-dealers who are National Association of Securities Dealers member firms. Alternatively, we may sell any remaining shares in an underwritten public offering. Neither Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. nor any registered broker-dealer will have any obligation to take or purchase any shares of the common stock in the syndicated community offering; however, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. has agreed to use its best efforts in the sale of shares in any syndicated community offering. We have not selected any particular broker-dealers to participate in a syndicated community offering and will not do so until prior to the commencement of the syndicated community offering.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUBSCRIBE FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE SYNDICATED COMMUNITY OFFERING IS SUBJECT TO OUR RIGHT TO REJECT ORDERS, IN WHOLE OR PART, EITHER AT THE TIME OF RECEIPT OF AN ORDER OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE OFFERING. IF YOUR ORDER IS REJECTED IN PART, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THE REMAINDER OF YOUR ORDER.
Stock sold in the syndicated community offering also will be sold at the $10.00 per share purchase price. Purchasers in the syndicated community offering are eligible to purchase up to $250,000 of common stock (which equals 25,000 shares). See "--How We Determined Stock Pricing and the Number of Shares to be Issued." We may begin the syndicated community offering or underwritten public offering at any time following the commencement of the subscription offering. The syndicated community offering will terminate no later than 45 days following the subscription expiration date, unless extended. We may terminate the community offering or the syndicated community offering at any time after we have received orders for at least the minimum number of shares available for purchase in the offering.
The syndicated community offering will be conducted in accordance with certain SEC rules applicable to best efforts offerings. Generally under those rules, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. a broker-dealer, will deposit funds it receives prior to the closing date from interested investors into a separate non-interest bearing bank account. If and when all the conditions for the closing are met, funds for common stock sold by Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. in the syndicated community offering will be promptly delivered to us. If the offering closes, but some or all of an interested investor's funds are not accepted by us, those funds will be returned to the interested investor promptly after the closing, without interest. If the offering does not close, funds in the account will be promptly returned, without interest, to the potential investor. Normal customer ticketing will be used. In the syndicated community offering, stock order forms will not be used.
If we are unable to find purchases from the general public for unsubscribed shares, we will make other purchase arrangements, if feasible. If other purchase arrangements cannot be made, we may terminate the stock offering and promptly return all funds, set a new offering range and give all subscribers the opportunity to place a new order for shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock; or take such other actions as may be permitted.
LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASE OF SHARES. The plan provides for certain limitations on the purchase of shares of common stock in the offering. These limitations are as follows:
A. The aggregate amount of outstanding common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. owned or controlled by persons other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC at the close of the offering shall be less than 50% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s total outstanding common stock.
B. The maximum purchase of common stock in the subscription offering by a person or group of persons through a single qualifying deposit account is $250,000. No person by himself, or with an associate or group of persons acting in concert, may purchase more than $350,000 of the common stock offered in the offering, except that: (1) Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may, in its sole discretion and without further notice to or solicitation of subscribers or other prospective purchasers, increase such maximum purchase limitation to 5% of the number of shares offered in the offering; (2) the employee stock ownership plan intends to purchase 8% of the shares sold in the offering and issued to the Charitable Foundation; and (3) shares to be held by any tax-qualified employee plan and attributable to a person shall not be aggregated with other shares purchased directly by or otherwise attributable to such person.
C. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the stock offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by any non-tax-qualified employee plan or any management person and his or her associates, exclusive of any shares of common stock acquired by such plan or management person and his or her associates in the secondary market, shall not exceed 4.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the conclusion of the offering. In calculating the number of shares held by any management person and his or her associates under this paragraph, shares held by any tax-qualified employee plan or non-tax-qualified employee plan of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank that are attributable to such person shall not be counted.
D. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by any non-tax-qualified employee plan exclusive of any common stock acquired by such plan or management person and his or her associates in the secondary market, shall not exceed 4.9% of the stockholders' equity of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the conclusion of the offering. In calculating the number of shares held by any management person and his or her associates under this paragraph, shares held by any tax-qualified employee plan or non-tax-qualified employee plan of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank that are attributable to such person shall not be counted.
E. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by any one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, exclusive of any shares of common stock acquired by such plans in the secondary market, shall not exceed 4.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the conclusion of the offering.
F. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by any one or more tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans, exclusive of any shares of common stock acquired by such plans in the secondary market, shall not exceed 4.9% of the stockholders' equity of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the conclusion of the offering.
G. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by all non-tax-qualified employee plans or management persons and their associates, exclusive of any common stock acquired by such plans or management persons and their associates in the secondary market, shall not exceed 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock held by persons other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC at the conclusion of the offering. In calculating the number of shares held by management persons and their associates under this paragraph, shares held by any tax-qualified employee plan or non-tax-qualified employee plan that are attributable to such persons shall not be counted.
H. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by all non-tax-qualified employee stock benefit plans or management persons and their associates, exclusive of any
common stock acquired by such plans or management persons and their associates in the secondary market, shall not exceed 25% of the stockholders' equity of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. held by persons other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC at the conclusion of the offering. In calculating the number of shares held by management persons and their associates under this paragraph, shares held by any tax-qualified employee plan or non-tax-qualified employee plan that are attributable to such persons shall not be counted.
I. The aggregate amount of common stock acquired in the offering, plus all prior issuances by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., by all stock benefit plans of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank, other than employee stock ownership plans, shall not exceed 25% of the outstanding common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. held by persons other than the Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
J. Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan of reorganization, no person shall be entitled to purchase any common stock to the extent such purchase would be illegal under any federal law or state law or regulation or would violate regulations or policies of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., particularly those regarding free riding and withholding. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and/or its agents may ask for an acceptable legal opinion from any purchaser as to the legality of such purchase and may refuse to honor any purchase order if such opinion is not timely furnished.
K. The Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has the right in its sole discretion to reject any order submitted by a person whose representations the Board of Directors believes to be false or who it otherwise believes, either alone or acting in concert with others, is violating, circumventing, or intends to violate, evade or circumvent the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization.
L. A minimum of 25 shares of common stock must be purchased by each person purchasing shares in the offering to the extent those shares are available; provided, however, that in the event the minimum number of shares of common stock purchased times the price per share exceeds $500, then such minimum purchase requirement shall be reduced to such number of shares which when multiplied by the price per share shall not exceed $500, as determined by the Board of Directors.
For purposes of the plan, the members of the Board of Directors are not deemed to be acting in concert solely by reason of their board membership. The term "associate" is used above to indicate any of the following relationships with a person:
o any corporation or organization, other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank or a majority-owned subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank, of which a person is a senior officer or partner, or beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the corporation or organization;
o any trust or other estate if the person has a substantial beneficial interest in the trust or estate or is a trustee or fiduciary of the estate. For purposes of the plan of reorganization, a person who has a substantial beneficial interest in a tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified employee plan, or who is a trustee or fiduciary of the plan is not an associate of the plan. For purposes of the plan of reorganization, a tax-qualified employee plan is not an associate of a person;
o any person who is a relative or spouse of such person or a relative of such spouse and (1) who lives in the same house as the person; or (2) who is a director or senior officer of Magyar Bancorp, MHC, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank or a subsidiary thereof; and
o any person acting in concert with the persons or entities specified above.
As used above, the term "acting in concert" means:
o knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement;
o a combination or pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer for a common purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether written or otherwise; or
o a person or company which acts in concert with another person or company ("other party") shall also be deemed to be acting in concert with any person or company who is also acting in concert with that other party, except that any tax-qualified employee plan will not be deemed to be acting in concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for the purpose of determining whether stock held by the trustee and stock held by the plan will be aggregated.
Persons or companies who file jointly a Form 13D or Form 13G with any regulatory agency will be deemed to be acting in concert.
The Boards of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank may, in their sole discretion increase the maximum purchase limitation up to 5% of the shares being offered in the offering. However, orders for shares exceeding 5% of the shares sold may not exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the shares sold. Requests to purchase shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock under this provision will be allocated by the boards of directors in accordance with the priority rights and allocation procedures set forth above. Depending upon market and financial conditions, and subject to certain limitations, the boards of directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank, without further approval of the members, may increase or decrease any of the above purchase limitations at any time. In computing the number of shares of common stock to be allocated, all numbers will be rounded down to the next whole number.
Shares of common stock purchased in the offering will be freely transferable except for shares of common stock purchased by executive officers and directors of Magyar Bank or Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and except as described below. In addition, under National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") guidelines, members of the NASD and their associates are subject to certain reporting requirements upon purchase of these securities.
TAX EFFECTS OF THE REORGANIZATION
We intend to proceed with the reorganization on the basis of an opinion from our special counsel, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., Washington, D.C., as to tax matters that are material to the reorganization. The opinion is based, among other things, on factual representations made by us, including the representation that the exercise price of the subscription rights to purchase the common stock will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of the completion of the reorganization. Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C.'s opinion provides as follows:
1. The conversion of Magyar Bank's charter from a mutual savings bank charter to a stock savings bank charter will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and no gain or loss will be recognized by Magyar Bank in either its mutual form (the "Mutual Bank") or stock form (the "Stock Bank") as a result.
2. Stock Bank's holding period in the assets received from the Mutual Bank will include the period during which such assets were held by the Mutual Bank.
3. The Stock Bank's basis in its assets will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Mutual Bank immediately prior to the reorganization.
4. Mutual Bank depositors will recognize no gain or loss upon the constructive receipt of solely Stock Bank common stock in exchange for their liquidation and other interests.
5. The Stock Bank will succeed to and take into account the Mutual Bank's earnings and profits or deficit in earnings and profits, as of the date of the reorganization.
6. For purposes of Section 381, Stock Bank will be treated the same as Mutual Bank, and therefore, Mutual Bank's tax year will not end merely as a result of the conversion of the Mutual Bank to stock form and Stock Bank will not be required to obtain a new employee identification number.
7. No gain or loss will be recognized by eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders or voting depositors of Mutual Bank on the issuance to them of withdrawable deposit accounts in Stock Bank plus liquidation rights with respect to Magyar Bancorp, MHC, in exchange for their deposit accounts in Mutual Bank or to the voting depositors on the issuance to them of withdrawable deposit accounts.
8. It is more likely than not that the fair market value of the subscription rights to purchase common stock is zero. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders or voting depositors of the Mutual Bank upon the distribution to them of the
nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of stock in Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Gain realized, if any, by the eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors of the Mutual Bank on the distribution to them of the nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock will be recognized but only in an amount not in excess of the fair market value of such subscription rights. Eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors will not realize any taxable income as a result of the exercise by them of the nontransferable subscription rights.
9. The basis of the deposit accounts in Stock Bank to be received by the eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors of Mutual Bank will be the same as the basis of their deposit accounts in Mutual Bank surrendered in exchange therefor. The basis of the interests in the liquidation rights in the Magyar Bancorp, MHC to be received by the eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders of Mutual Bank will be zero.
10. The exchange of Stock Bank common stock constructively received by eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors in exchange for membership interests in Magyar Bancorp, MHC will constitute a tax-free exchange of property solely for "stock."
11. Eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of Stock Bank common stock (which they constructively received in the conversion of the Mutual Bank to stock form) to Magyar Bancorp, MHC solely in exchange for membership interests in Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
12. Eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors' basis in the Magyar Bancorp, MHC membership interests received in the transaction (which basis is -0-) will be the same as the basis of the property transferred in exchange for such interests.
13. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will recognize no gain or loss upon receipt of property from eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors in exchange for membership interests in Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
14. Magyar Bancorp, MHC's basis in the property received from eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors (which basis is -0-) will be the same as the basis of such property in the hands of eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and voting depositors.
15. Magyar Bancorp, MHC's holding period for the property received from eligible account holders, supplemental account holders and voting depositors will include the period during which such property was held by such persons.
16. Magyar Bancorp, MHC and the persons who purchased common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. in the subscription and community offering ("minority stockholders") will recognize no gain or loss upon the transfer of Stock Bank common stock and cash, respectively, to Magyar Bancorp, Inc. in exchange for common stock in Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
17. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will recognize no gain or loss on its receipt of Stock Bank common stock and cash in exchange for Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock.
18. Magyar Bancorp, MHC's basis in the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock will be the same as its basis in the Stock Bank common stock exchanged for such stock.
19. Magyar Bancorp, MHC's holding period in the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock received will include the period during which it held the Stock Bank common stock, provided that such property was a capital asset on the date of the exchange.
20. Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s basis in the Stock Bank stock received from Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be the same as the basis of such property in the hands of Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
21. Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s holding period for the Stock Bank common stock received from Magyar Bancorp, MHC will include the period during which such property was held by Magyar Bancorp, MHC.
22. It is more likely than not that the basis of the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock to its minority stockholders will be the purchase price thereof. The holding period of the Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights will commence on the date on which the right to acquire such stock was exercised.
The opinion addresses all material Federal income tax consequences of the reorganization. The tax opinion as to items 8 and 22 above is based on the position that subscription rights to be received by eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders do not have any economic value at the time of distribution or the time the subscription rights are exercised. In this regard, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. noted that the subscription rights will be granted at no cost to the recipients, are legally non-transferable and of short duration, and will provide the recipient with the right only to purchase shares of common stock at the same price to be paid by members of the general public in any community offering. The firm also noted that the Internal Revenue Service has not in the past concluded that subscription rights have value. Based on the foregoing, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. believes that it is more likely than not that the nontransferable subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock have no value. However, the issue of whether or not the nontransferable subscription rights have value is based on all the facts and circumstances. If the nontransferable subscription rights granted to eligible subscribers are subsequently found to have an ascertainable value greater than zero, income may be recognized by various recipients of the
nontransferable subscription rights (in certain cases, whether or not the rights are exercised) and we could recognize gain on the distribution of the nontransferable subscription rights. The Federal and state tax opinions, respectively, referred to in this prospectus are filed as exhibits to the registration statement. See "Where You Can Find More Information."
The opinions of Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., unlike a letter ruling issued by the Internal Revenue Service, are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and the conclusions expressed therein may be challenged at a future date. The Internal Revenue Service has issued favorable rulings for transactions substantially similar to the proposed reorganization, but any such ruling may not be cited as precedent by any taxpayer other than the taxpayer to whom the ruling is addressed. We do not plan to apply for a letter ruling concerning the transactions described in this prospectus.
We also have received an opinion from Grant Thornton LLP that the New Jersey State income tax consequences of the proposed transaction are consistent with the Federal income tax consequences.
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS
Subscription rights are nontransferable. Magyar Bank may reasonably investigate to determine compliance with this restriction. Persons selling or otherwise transferring their rights to subscribe for shares of common stock in the subscription offering or subscribing for shares of common stock on behalf of another person may forfeit those rights and may face possible further sanctions and penalties imposed by agencies of the United States Government. MAGYAR BANK AND MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. WILL PURSUE ANY AND ALL LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES IN THE EVENT THEY BECOME AWARE OF THE TRANSFER OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND WILL NOT HONOR ORDERS KNOWN BY THEM TO INVOLVE THE TRANSFER OF THESE RIGHTS. Each person exercising subscription rights will be required to certify on the order form that he or she is purchasing shares solely for his or her own account and that he or she has no agreement or understanding with any other person for the sale or transfer of the shares of common stock. Once tendered, orders cannot be revoked without the consent of Magyar Bank and Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
PERSONS IN NON-QUALIFIED STATES
We will make reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all states in the United States in which persons entitled to subscribe for stock under the plan of reorganization reside. However, we are not required to offer stock in the subscription offering to any person who resides in a foreign country or who resides in a state of the United States in which (1) only a small number of persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares of common stock reside; (2) the granting of subscription rights or the offer or sale of shares to such person would require that we or our officers or directors register as a broker dealer, salesman or selling agent under the securities laws of the state, or register or otherwise qualify the subscription rights or common stock for sale or qualify as a foreign corporation or file a consent to service of process; or (3) we determine that compliance with that state's securities laws would be impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING ARRANGEMENTS
Offering materials have been mailed to persons with subscription rights, with additional copies made available through our Stock Information Center. All prospective purchasers are to send payment directly to Magyar Bank, where such funds will be held in a segregated account at Magyar Bank or, at our discretion, another federally insured depository institution, and not released until the offering is completed or terminated.
To assist in the marketing of the common stock, we have retained Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., which is a broker-dealer registered with the NASD. Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. will assist us in the offering as follows:
(i) serving as our financial advisor for the stock offering;
(ii) educating our employees regarding the offering;
(iii) providing administrative services and managing the Stock Information Center; and
(iv) coordinating proxy solicitation and selling efforts and soliciting orders for shares of common stock.
For these services, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. will receive an administrative services fee of $25,000 and a sales fee equal to 1.0% of the dollar amount of the shares of common stock sold in the subscription and community offerings, except that no fee will be payable to Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. with respect to shares purchased by officers, directors and employees or their immediate families, the Charitable Foundation, or shares purchased by our tax-qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans. If there is a syndicated community offering, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. will receive a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate dollar amount of shares of common stock sold in the syndicated community offering, which fee, along with the fee payable directly to the NASD member firms participating in the syndicated community offering (including Ryan Beck & Co., Inc.) shall not exceed 6.0% of the aggregate dollar amount of the shares of common stock sold in the syndicated community offering.
We also will reimburse Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. for its reasonable expenses associated with its marketing efforts (including legal fees), up to a maximum of $55,000 plus legal expenses. We will indemnify Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. against liabilities and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with certain claims or litigation arising out of or based upon untrue statements or omissions contained in the offering material for the common stock, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.
Our directors and executive officers may participate in the solicitation of offers to purchase shares of common stock. Other trained employees may participate in the offering in ministerial capacities, providing clerical work in effecting a sales transaction or answering questions of a ministerial nature. Other questions of prospective purchasers will be directed to executive officers or registered representatives of Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. We will rely on Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act to permit officers, directors, and employees to participate in the sale
of common stock. No officer, director or employee will be compensated for his or her participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on the transactions in the common stock.
HOW WE DETERMINED STOCK PRICING AND THE NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED
The plan of reorganization and federal regulations require that the aggregate purchase price of the common stock sold in the offering be based on the appraised pro forma market value of the common stock, as determined on the basis of an independent valuation. We retained FinPro, Inc. to make the independent valuation. FinPro, Inc. will receive a fee of $45,000 for business planning and appraisal services, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We have agreed to indemnify FinPro, Inc. and its employees and affiliates against certain losses (including any losses in connection with claims under the federal securities laws) arising out of its services as appraiser, except where FinPro, Inc.'s liability results from its negligence or bad faith. Over the past three years, we have engaged FinPro, Inc. to perform: strategic planning, market feasibility, CRA and other general consulting services. The revenue derived from these engagements was immaterial to FinPro, Inc.'s gross revenues during such time periods. FinPro, Inc. received no fees from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. in 2005 except for those fees related to the business planning and appraisal services.
The independent valuation was prepared by FinPro, Inc. in reliance upon the information contained in the prospectus, including the financial statements. FinPro, Inc. also considered the following factors, among others:
o the present and projected operating results and financial condition of Magyar Bank and the economic and demographic conditions in our existing market area;
o historical, financial and other information relating to Magyar Bank;
o a comparative evaluation of the operating and financial statistics of Magyar Bank with those of other publicly traded subsidiaries of holding companies and mutual holding companies;
o the impact of the offering on our stockholders' equity and earnings potential;
o the proposed dividend policy of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.;
o the trading market for securities of comparable institutions and general conditions in the market for such securities; and
o the issuance of shares to the Charitable Foundation.
On the basis of the foregoing, FinPro, Inc. advised us that as of September 2, 2005, the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock on a fully converted basis ranged from a minimum of $38.1 million to a maximum of $51.5 million, with a midpoint of $44.8 million (the estimated valuation range). The board determined to offer the shares of common stock in the offering at the purchase price of $10.00 per share and that 44.20% of the shares issued should be
held by purchasers in the offering and 54.03% should be held by Magyar Bancorp, MHC after giving effect to the issuance of shares to the Charitable Foundation. Based on the estimated valuation range and the purchase price of $10.00 per share, the number of shares of common stock that Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will sell in the offering will range from 1,683,000 shares to 2,277,000 shares, with a midpoint of 1,980,000 shares, and the number of shares to be issued to Magyar Bancorp, MHC will range from 2,057,000 shares to 2,783,000 shares, with a midpoint of 2,420,000 shares.
The Board reviewed the independent valuation and, in particular, considered (1) our financial condition and results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and for the year ended September 30, 2004, (2) financial comparisons to other financial institutions, and (3) stock market conditions generally and, in particular, for financial institutions, all of which are set forth in the independent valuation. The Board also reviewed the methodology and the assumptions used by FinPro, Inc. in preparing the independent valuation. The estimated valuation range may be amended, if necessitated by subsequent developments in our financial condition or market conditions generally.
Following commencement of the subscription offering, the maximum of the estimated valuation range may be increased by up to 15%, to $59.2 million and the maximum number of shares that will be outstanding immediately following the offering may be increased by up to 15% to 5,923,742 shares. Under such circumstances, the number of shares sold in the offering will be increased to 2,618,550 shares and the number of shares to be issued to Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be increased to 3,200,450 shares. The increase in the valuation range may occur to reflect changes in market and financial conditions or demand for the shares without the resolicitation of subscribers. The minimum of the estimated valuation range and the minimum of the offering range may not be decreased without a resolicitation of subscribers. The purchase price of $10.00 per share will remain fixed. See "--Limitations on Purchase of Shares" as to the method of distribution and allocation of additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the event of an increase in the offering range to fill unfilled orders in the subscription and community offerings.
The independent valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of common stock. FinPro, Inc. did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by Magyar Bancorp, Inc., nor did FinPro, Inc. value independently the assets or liabilities of Magyar Bank. The independent valuation considers Magyar Bancorp, Inc. as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of its liquidation value. Moreover, because the valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons purchasing shares in the offering will thereafter be able to sell such shares at prices at or above the purchase price.
The independent valuation will be updated at the time of the completion of the offering. If the update to the independent valuation at the conclusion of the offering results in an increase in the pro forma market value of the common stock to more than $59.2 million or a decrease in the pro forma market value to less than $38.1 million, then Magyar Bancorp, Inc., may terminate the plan of reorganization and return all funds promptly, with interest on payments made by
check, certified or teller's check, bank draft or money order, extend or hold a new subscription offering, community offering, or both, establish a new offering range, commence a resolicitation of subscribers or take such other actions as may be permitted, in order to complete the offering. In the event that a resolicitation is commenced, unless an affirmative response is received within a reasonable period of time, all funds will be promptly returned to investors as described above.
An increase in the independent valuation and the number of shares to be issued in the offering would decrease both a subscriber's ownership interest and Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s pro forma earnings and stockholders' equity on a per share basis while increasing pro forma earnings and stockholders' equity on an aggregate basis. A decrease in the independent valuation and the number of shares of common stock to be issued in the offering would increase both a subscriber's ownership interest and Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s pro forma earnings and stockholders' equity on a per share basis while decreasing pro forma net income and stockholders' equity on an aggregate basis. For a presentation of the effects of such changes, see "Pro Forma Data."
Copies of the appraisal report of FinPro, Inc. and the detailed memorandum of the appraiser setting forth the method and assumptions for such appraisal are available for inspection at the main office of Magyar Bank and the other locations specified under "Where You Can Find More Information."
No sale of shares of common stock may occur unless, prior to such sale, FinPro, Inc. confirms to Magyar Bank that, to the best of its knowledge, nothing of a material nature has occurred that, taking into account all relevant factors, would cause FinPro, Inc. to conclude that the independent valuation is incompatible with its estimate of the pro forma market value of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. at the conclusion of the offering. Any change that would result in an aggregate purchase price that is below the minimum or more than 15% above the maximum of the estimated valuation range will be considered incompatible. If such confirmation is not received, we may extend the offering, reopen the offering or commence a new offering, establish a new estimated valuation range or commence a resolicitation of all purchasers to complete the offering.
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY AND PROCEDURE FOR PURCHASING SHARES
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY. To ensure that each purchaser receives a prospectus at least 48 hours prior to the end of the offering, in accordance with Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), no prospectus will be mailed later than five days or hand delivered any later than two days prior to the end of the offering. Execution of the order form will confirm receipt or delivery of a prospectus in accordance with Rule 15c2-8. Order forms will be distributed only with a prospectus. Neither we nor Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. is obligated to deliver a prospectus and an order form by any means other than the U.S. Postal Service.
EXPIRATION DATE. The offering will expire at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [expiration date], unless extended by us for up to 45 days following the expiration date of the subscription offering, which is [extension date] (the "expiration date"). We are not required to give purchasers notice of any extension unless the expiration date is later than [extension date], in
which event purchasers will be given the right to increase, decrease, confirm, or rescind their orders. No extension may go beyond _________, 2007, which is two years after the date of the special meeting of depositors called to consider and vote upon the reorganization.
USE OF ORDER FORMS. In order to purchase shares of common stock in the subscription and community offering, each purchaser must complete an order form, as more fully described below. Any person receiving an order form who desires to purchase shares of common stock may do so by delivering to the Stock Information Center a properly executed and completed order form, together with full payment for the shares of common stock purchased. The order form must be received, not post-marked, prior to 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on [expiration date]. You may submit your stock order form by mail using the return envelope provided, by overnight courier, or by bringing your stock order form to our Stock Information Center. Stock order forms may not be delivered to Magyar Bank branch offices. Each person ordering shares of common stock is required to represent that he or she is purchasing such shares for his or her own account. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the plan of reorganization and of the acceptability of the order forms will be final.
To ensure that eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders and other depositors are properly identified as to their stock purchase priorities, such parties must list all deposit accounts on the order form giving all names on each deposit account and the account numbers at the applicable eligibility date. Failure to list all of your account relationships could result in a loss of all or part of your share allocation in the event of an oversubscription. Should an oversubscription result in an allocation of shares, the allocation of shares will be completed in accordance with the plan of reorganization.
WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO ACCEPT AN ORDER SUBMITTED ON PHOTOCOPIED OR TELECOPIED ORDER FORMS. ORDERS CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT THE EXECUTION OF THE CERTIFICATION APPEARING ON THE ORDER FORM. We are not required to notify subscribers of incomplete or improperly executed order forms and we have the right to waive or permit the correction of incomplete or improperly executed order forms as long as it is performed before the expiration of the offering. We do not represent, however, that we will do so, and we have no affirmative duty to notify any prospective subscriber of any such defects.
PAYMENT FOR SHARES. Payment for all shares will be required to accompany a completed order form for the purchase to be valid. Payment for shares may be made by check, money order, or authorization of withdrawal from a deposit account maintained with Magyar Bank. Third party checks will not be accepted as payment for a subscriber's order. Appropriate means by which such withdrawals may be authorized are provided in the order forms.
Once such a withdrawal amount has been authorized, a hold will be placed on such funds, making them unavailable to the depositor until the offering has been completed or terminated. In the case of payments authorized to be made through withdrawal from deposit accounts, all funds authorized for withdrawal will continue to earn interest at the contract rate until the offering is completed or terminated.
Interest penalties for early withdrawal applicable to certificate of deposit accounts at Magyar Bank will not apply to withdrawals authorized for the purchase of shares of common
stock. However, if a withdrawal results in a certificate of deposit account with a balance less than the applicable minimum balance requirement, the certificate of deposit will be canceled at the time of withdrawal without penalty, and the remaining balance will earn interest at our passbook rate subsequent to the withdrawal.
Payments received by Magyar Bank will be placed in a segregated savings account at Magyar Bank and will be paid interest at our passbook rate from the date payment is received until the offering is completed or terminated. Such interest will be paid by check on all funds held, including funds accepted as payment for shares of common stock, promptly following completion or termination of the offering.
The employee stock ownership plan will not be required to pay for the shares of common stock it intends to purchase until consummation of the offering, provided that there is a loan commitment to lend to the employee stock ownership plan the amount of funds necessary to purchase the number of shares ordered.
You may not designate direct withdrawal of funds from a Magyar Bank individual retirement account. By regulation, our individual retirement accounts do not permit investment in our shares of common stock. Persons with individual retirement accounts maintained with Magyar Bank must transfer their accounts to a self-directed individual retirement account with an unaffiliated trustee (such as a brokerage firm) in order to purchase shares of common stock in the offering. There will be no early withdrawal or Internal Revenue Service interest penalties for transfers. The new trustee will hold the shares of common stock in a self-directed account in the same manner as we now hold the depositor's individual retirement account funds. An annual administrative fee may be payable to the new trustee. Assistance on how to transfer individual retirement accounts maintained at Magyar Bank can be obtained from the Stock Information Center. Depositors interested in using funds in an individual retirement account maintained at Magyar Bank, or elsewhere, should contact the Stock Information Center as soon as possible. Whether such funds can be used may depend on limitations imposed by the institutions where funds are currently held. We cannot guarantee that you will be able to use such funds.
Once submitted, an order cannot be modified or revoked unless the offering is terminated or extended beyond [extension date].
We shall have the right, in our sole discretion, to permit institutional investors to submit irrevocable orders together with the legally binding commitment for payment and to thereafter pay for the shares of common stock for which they subscribe in the community offering at any time prior to 48 hours before the completion of the reorganization. This payment may be made by wire transfer.
DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES. Certificates representing shares of common stock issued in the offering will be mailed to the persons entitled thereto at the registration address noted on the order form as soon as practicable following consummation of the offering. Any certificates returned as undeliverable will be held by us until claimed by persons legally entitled thereto or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable law. Although the shares of common stock will have begun trading, until certificates for the shares of common stock are available and
delivered to purchasers, purchasers may not be able to sell the shares of common stock that they ordered.
RESTRICTIONS ON PURCHASE OR TRANSFER OF STOCK BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
All shares of the common stock purchased by our directors and officers in the offering will be subject to the restriction that such shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of for value for a period of one year following the date of purchase, except for any disposition of such shares (1) following the death of the original purchaser or (2) by reason of an exchange of securities in connection with a merger or acquisition approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. Sales of shares of the common stock by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s directors and officers will also be subject to certain insider trading and other transfer restrictions under the federal securities laws. See "Supervision and Regulation--Federal Securities Laws."
Purchases of outstanding shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. by directors, executive officers, or any person who was an executive officer or director of Magyar Bank after adoption of the plan of reorganization, and their associates during the three-year period following the offering may be made only through a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This restriction does not apply, however, to negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s outstanding common stock or to the purchase of shares of common stock under the stock option plan expected to be implemented subsequent to completion of the offering.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the registration of the shares of common stock to be issued in the offering. The registration under the Securities Act of shares of the common stock to be issued in the offering does not cover the resale of the shares of common stock. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will have resale restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. who complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with those of certain other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares of common stock during the preceding four calendar weeks. Provision may be made in the future by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to permit affiliates to have their shares of common stock registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933 under certain circumstances.
Under guidelines of the NASD, members of the NASD and their associates face certain reporting requirements upon purchase of the securities.
INTERPRETATION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
All interpretations of the plan of reorganization by the Board of Directors will be final. The plan of reorganization provides that, if deemed necessary or desirable by the Board of
Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the plan may be substantially amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors as a result of comments from regulatory authorities or otherwise, at any time. The plan of reorganization may be terminated by a majority vote of the Board of Directors at any time.

MAGYAR BANK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
GENERAL
In furtherance of our commitment to our local community, the plan of stock issuance provides that we will establish Magyar Bank Charitable Foundation as a non-stock, nonprofit Delaware corporation in connection with the offering. The Charitable Foundation will be funded with cash and shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock, as further described below. By further enhancing our visibility and reputation in our local community, we believe that the Charitable Foundation will enhance the long-term value of our community banking franchise. The offering presents us with a unique opportunity to provide a substantial and continuing benefit to our community and to receive the associated tax benefits.
PURPOSE OF THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
In connection with the closing of the offering, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. intends to contribute $500,000 in cash and issue a number of shares equal up to 1.77% of the shares of common stock issued in the offering to the Charitable Foundation. The total aggregate contribution to the Charitable Foundation will equal 6.53% of the gross proceeds in the stock offering at the midpoint of the offering range. The purpose of the Charitable Foundation is to provide financial support to charitable organizations in the communities in which we operate and to enable our communities to share in our long-term growth. The Charitable Foundation will be dedicated completely to community activities and the promotion of charitable causes, and may be able to support such activities in ways that are not presently available to us. The Charitable Foundation will also support our ongoing obligations to the community under the Community Reinvestment Act. Magyar Bank received an "satisfactory" rating in its most recent Community Reinvestment Act examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Funding the Charitable Foundation with shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock is also intended to allow our community to share in the potential growth and success of Magyar Bank after the offering is completed because the Charitable Foundation will benefit directly from increases in the value of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. common stock. In addition, the Charitable Foundation will maintain close ties with Magyar Bank, thereby forming a partnership within the communities in which Magyar Bank operates.
STRUCTURE OF THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
The Charitable Foundation will be incorporated under Delaware law as a non-stock, nonprofit corporation. The certificate of incorporation of the Charitable Foundation will provide that the corporation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes as set forth in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Charitable Foundation's certificate of incorporation will further provide that no part of the net earnings of the Charitable Foundation will inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, its directors, officers or members.
We have selected ____ of our current directors, ________________________ to serve on the initial Board of Directors of the Charitable Foundation. We also will select one person to serve on the initial Board of Directors who will not be affiliated with Magyar Bank but who will have experience with local charitable organizations and grant making. For five years after the offering, one seat on the Charitable Foundation's Board of Directors will be reserved for a person from our local community who has experience with local community charitable organizations and grant making and who is not one of our officers, directors or employees, and one seat on the Charitable Foundation's Board of Directors will be reserved for one of Magyar Bank's directors.
The business experience of our current directors is described in "Management."
The Board of Directors of the Charitable Foundation will be responsible for establishing its grant and donation policies, consistent with the purposes for which it was established. As directors of a nonprofit corporation, directors of the Charitable Foundation will at all times be bound by their fiduciary duty to advance the Charitable Foundation's charitable goals, to protect its assets and to act in a manner consistent with the charitable purposes for which the Charitable Foundation is established. The directors of the Charitable Foundation also will be responsible for directing the activities of the Charitable Foundation, including the management and voting of the shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. held by the Charitable Foundation. All shares of common stock held by the Charitable Foundation must be voted in the same ratio as all other shares of the common stock on all proposals considered by stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
The Charitable Foundation's place of business will be located at our administrative offices. The Board of Directors of the Charitable Foundation will appoint such officers and employees as may be necessary to manage its operations. To the extent applicable, we will comply with the affiliates restrictions set forth in Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act regulations governing transactions between Magyar Bank and the Charitable Foundation.
The Charitable Foundation will receive working capital from its initial cash contribution of $500,000 ($500,000 at the maximum, as adjusted) and:
(1) any dividends that may be paid on Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s shares of common stock in the future;
(2) within the limits of applicable federal and state laws, loans collateralized by the shares of common stock; or
(3) the proceeds of the sale of any of the shares of common stock in the open market from time to time.
As a private foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Charitable Foundation will be required to distribute annually in grants or donations a minimum of 5% of the average fair market value of its net investment assets. One of the conditions imposed on the gift of common stock is that the amount of common stock that may be sold by the Charitable Foundation in any one year shall not exceed 5% of the average market value of the assets held by the Charitable Foundation, except where the Board of Directors of the Charitable Foundation determines that the failure to sell an amount of common stock greater than such amount would result in a long-term reduction of the value of its assets and/or would otherwise jeopardize its capacity to carry out its charitable purposes.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Our independent tax advisor, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., has advised us that an organization created for the above purposes should qualify as a Section 501(c)(3) exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code and should be classified as a private foundation. The Charitable Foundation will submit a timely request to the Internal Revenue Service to be recognized as an exempt organization. As long as the Charitable Foundation files its application for tax-exempt status within 15 months from the date of its organization, and provided the Internal Revenue Service approves the application, its effective date as a Section 501(c)(3) organization will be the date of its organization. Our independent tax advisor, however, has not rendered any advice on whether the Charitable Foundation's tax exempt status will be affected by the regulatory requirement that all shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. held by the Charitable Foundation must be voted in the same ratio as all other outstanding shares of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. on all proposals considered by stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank are authorized by federal law to make charitable contributions. We believe that the offering presents a unique opportunity to establish and fund a charitable foundation given the substantial amount of additional capital being raised. In making such a determination, we considered the dilutive impact to our stockholders of the contribution of shares of common stock to the Charitable Foundation. We believe that the size of the contribution to the Charitable Foundation is justified given Magyar Bank's capital position and its earnings, the substantial additional capital being raised in the offering and the potential benefits of the Charitable Foundation to our community. See "Capitalization," "Regulatory Capital Compliance," and "Comparison of Valuation and Pro Forma Information With and Without the Charitable Foundation." The amount of the contribution will not adversely affect our financial condition. We therefore believe that the amount of the charitable contribution is reasonable given our pro forma capital position, and it does not raise safety and soundness concerns.
We have received an opinion from our independent tax advisor that Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s contribution of its shares of stock to the Charitable Foundation should not constitute an act of self-dealing and that we should be entitled to a deduction in the amount of the fair market value of the stock at the time of the contribution less the nominal amount that the Charitable
Foundation is required to pay Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for such stock. We are permitted to deduct charitable contributions only in an amount up to 10% of our annual taxable income in any one year. We are permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to carry over the excess contribution to the five-year period following the year of the contribution to the Charitable Foundation. We estimate that all or substantially all of the contribution should be deductible over the six-year period (I.E., the year in which the contribution is made and the succeeding five-year period). However, we do not have any assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will grant tax-exempt status to the Charitable Foundation. Furthermore, even if the contribution is deductible, we may not have sufficient earnings to be able to use the deduction in full. We do not expect to make any further contributions to the Charitable Foundation within the first five years following the initial contribution, unless such contributions would be deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. Any such decisions would be based on an assessment of, among other factors, our financial condition at that time, the interests of our stockholders and depositors, and the financial condition and operations of the Charitable Foundation.
Although we have received an opinion from our independent tax advisor that we should be entitled to a deduction for the charitable contribution, there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will recognize the Charitable Foundation as a Section 501(c)(3) exempt organization or that the deduction will be permitted. In such event, our contribution to the Charitable Foundation would be expensed without tax benefit, resulting in a reduction in earnings in the year in which the Internal Revenue Service makes such a determination.
As a private foundation, earnings and gains, if any, from the sale of common stock or other assets are exempt from federal and state income taxation. However, investment income, such as interest, dividends and capital gains, is generally taxed at a rate of 2.0%. The Charitable Foundation will be required to file an annual return with the Internal Revenue Service within four and one-half months after the close of its fiscal year. The Charitable Foundation will be required to make its annual return available for public inspection. The annual return for a private foundation includes, among other things, an itemized list of all grants made or approved, showing the amount of each grant, the recipient, any relationship between a grant recipient and the foundation's managers and a concise statement of the purpose of each grant.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED ON THE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
The Federal Reserve Board has imposed the following requirements on the establishment of the Charitable Foundation:
o the Charitable Foundation cannot acquire additional common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. without notifying the Federal Reserve Board; and
o the Charitable Foundation will be considered an affiliate of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bancorp, MHC for purposes of Regulation W of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. 223.
RESTRICTIONS ON THE ACQUISITION OF
MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND MAGYAR BANK
GENERAL
The principal federal regulatory restrictions which affect the ability of any person, firm or entity to acquire Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank or their respective capital stock are described below. Also discussed are certain provisions in Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s charter and bylaws which may be deemed to affect the ability of a person, firm or entity to acquire Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
FEDERAL AND STATE LAW
FEDERAL CHANGE IN BANK CONTROL ACT. Federal law provides that no person, acting directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire control of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days prior written notice. For this purpose, the term "control" means the acquisition of the ownership, control or holding of the power to vote 25% or more of any class of a bank holding company's voting stock, and the term "person" includes an individual, corporation, partnership, and various other entities. In addition, an acquiring person is presumed to acquire control if the person acquires the ownership, control or holding of the power to vote of 10% or more of any class of the holding company's voting stock if (a) the bank holding company's shares are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or (b) no other person will own, control or hold the power to vote a greater percentage of that class of voting securities. Accordingly, the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board would be required before any person could acquire 10% or more of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
The Federal Reserve Board may prohibit an acquisition of control if:
o it would result in a monopoly or substantially lessen competition;
o the financial condition of the acquiring person might jeopardize the financial stability of the institution; or
o the competence, experience or integrity of the acquiring person indicates that it would not be in the interest of the depositors or of the public to permit the acquisition of control by such person.
FEDERAL BANK HOLDING COMPANY ACT. Federal law provides that no company may acquire control of a bank directly or indirectly without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. Any company that acquires control of a bank becomes a "bank holding company" subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. Pursuant to federal regulations, the term "company" is defined to include banks, corporations, partnerships, associations, and certain trusts and other entities, and "control" of a bank is deemed to exist if a company has voting control, directly or indirectly, of at least 25% of any class of a bank's voting stock, and may be found to exist if a company controls in any manner the election of a majority of the directors of the bank or has the power to exercise a controlling influence over the
management or policies of the bank. In addition, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval prior to acquiring voting control of more than 5% of any class of voting stock of a bank or another bank holding company.
An acquisition of control of a bank that requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA is not subject to the notice requirements of the Change in Bank Control Act. Accordingly, the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the BHCA would be required (a) before any bank holding company could acquire 5% or more of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and (b) before any other company could acquire 25% or more of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
NEW JERSEY RESTRICTIONS. The New Jersey Banking Act requires prior approval of the Commissioner before any person may acquire a New Jersey bank holding company, such as Magyar Bancorp, Inc. except as otherwise expressly permitted by federal law. For this purpose, the term "person" is defined broadly to mean a natural person or a corporation, company, partnership, or other forms of organized entities. The term "acquire" is defined differently for an existing bank holding company and for other companies or persons. A bank holding company will be treated as "acquiring" a New Jersey bank holding company if the bank holding company acquires more than 5% of any class of the voting shares of the bank holding company. Any other person will be treated as "acquiring" a New Jersey bank holding company if it acquires ownership or control of more than 25% of any class of the voting shares of the bank holding company.
THE MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY STRUCTURE
Under applicable law and our governing corporate instruments, at least 50.1% of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s voting shares must be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be controlled by its Board of Directors, who will consist of persons who also are members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank. Magyar Bancorp, MHC will be able to elect all members of the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., and as a general matter, will be able to control the outcome of all matters presented to the stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for resolution by vote, except for matters that require a vote greater than a majority. Magyar Bancorp, MHC, acting through its Board of Directors, will be able to control the business and operations of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank, and will be able to prevent any challenge to the ownership or control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. by minority stockholders. Accordingly, a change in control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank cannot occur unless Magyar Bancorp, MHC first converts to the stock form of organization. It is not anticipated that a conversion of the Magyar Bancorp, MHC will occur in the foreseeable future.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PROVISIONS IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
The following discussion is a summary of certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. that relate to corporate governance. The description is necessarily general and qualified by reference to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is required by the bylaws to be divided into three staggered classes. Each year one class will be elected by stockholders of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. for a three-year term. A classified board promotes continuity and stability of management of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., but makes it more difficult for stockholders to change a majority of the directors because it generally takes at least two annual elections of directors for this to occur.
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK. Following the offering, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will have authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and common stock. See "Description of Capital Stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc." Although these shares could be used by the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to make it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, it is unlikely that we would use or need to use shares for these purposes since Magyar Bancorp, MHC owns a majority of the common stock.
HOW SHARES ARE VOTED. Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s certificate of incorporation provides that there will not be cumulative voting by stockholders for the election of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s directors. No cumulative voting rights means that Magyar Bancorp, MHC, as the holder of a majority of the shares eligible to be voted at a meeting of stockholders, may elect all directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to be elected at that meeting. This could prevent minority stockholder representation on Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s Board of Directors.
RESTRICTIONS ON CALL OF SPECIAL MEETINGS. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors. Stockholders are not authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders.
LIMITATION OF VOTING RIGHTS. The certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will any record owner of any outstanding common stock which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who beneficially owns more than 10% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, be entitled or permitted to vote any of the shares held in excess of the 10% limit. This restriction does not apply to Magyar Bancorp, MHC or to any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan established by Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or Magyar Bank.
RESTRICTIONS ON REMOVING DIRECTORS FROM OFFICE. The certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of our then-outstanding stock entitled to vote (after giving effect to the limitation on voting rights discussed above in "--Limitation of Voting Rights.")
PROCEDURES FOR STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS. The bylaws of Magyar Bancorp,
Inc. provide an advance notice procedure for certain business, or nominations to
the Board of Directors, to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders.
In order for a stockholder to properly bring business before an annual meeting,
or to propose a nominee to the Board of Directors, the stockholder must give
written notice to the Secretary of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. not less than ninety
(90) days prior to the date of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s proxy materials for the
preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the
annual meeting is advanced
more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. As to the first annual meeting of stockholders, to be timely notice must be provided no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. The notice must include the stockholder's name, record address, and number of shares owned, describe briefly the proposed business, the reasons for bringing the business before the annual meeting, and any material interest of the stockholder in the proposed business. In the case of nominations to the Board of Directors, certain information regarding the nominee must be provided. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require Magyar Bancorp, Inc. to include in its proxy statement and proxy relating to an annual meeting any stockholder proposal that does not meet all of the requirements for inclusion established by the Securities and Exchange Commission in effect at the time such proposal is received.
AMENDMENTS TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS. Amendments to the certificate of incorporation must be approved by Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s Board of Directors and also by a majority of the outstanding shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s voting stock; provided, however, that approval by at least 80% of the outstanding voting stock is generally required to amend the following provisions:
(1) The limitation on voting rights of persons who directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of any class of equity security of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.;
(2) The inability of stockholders to act by written consent;
(3) The inability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;
(4) The division of the Board of Directors into three staggered classes;
(5) The ability of the Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the board;
(6) The inability to deviate from the manner prescribed in the bylaws by which stockholders nominate directors and bring other business before meetings of stockholders;
(7) The requirement that at least 80% of stockholders must vote to remove directors, and can only remove directors for cause;
(8) The ability of the Board of Directors to amend and repeal the bylaws; and
(9) The ability of the Board of Directors to evaluate a variety of factors in evaluating offers to purchase or otherwise acquire Magyar Bancorp, Inc.
The bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. or the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total votes eligible to be voted at a duly constituted meeting of stockholders.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
GENERAL
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is authorized to issue 8,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.01 per share and 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock. Each share of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s common stock will have the same relative rights as, and will be identical in all respects with, each other share of common stock. Upon payment of the purchase price for the common stock in accordance with the plan of reorganization, all of the stock will be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable. Presented below is a description of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s capital stock which is deemed material to an investment decision with respect to the offering. The common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will represent nonwithdrawable capital, will not be an account of an insurable type, and will not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. currently expects that it will have a maximum of up to 5,923,742 shares of common stock outstanding after the offering, of which 2,723,292 shares will be held by persons other than Magyar Bancorp, MHC including 104,742 shares issued to the Charitable Foundation. The Board of Directors can, without stockholder approval, issue additional shares of common stock, although Magyar Bancorp, MHC, so long as it is in existence, must own a majority of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s outstanding shares of common stock. Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s issuance of additional shares of common stock could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has no present plans to issue additional shares of common stock other than pursuant to the stock benefit plans previously discussed.
COMMON STOCK
DISTRIBUTIONS. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. can pay dividends if, as and when declared by its Board of Directors, subject to compliance with limitations that are imposed by law. The holders of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will be entitled to receive and share equally in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. out of funds legally available therefor. In the future, dividends from Magyar Bancorp, Inc. may depend, in part, upon the receipt of dividends from Magyar Bank, because Magyar Bancorp, Inc. initially will have no source of income other than the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock and interest payments received in connection with its loan to the employee stock ownership plan. See "Supervision and Regulation-- Federal Banking Regulation--Capital Requirements." Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. is authorized to issue preferred stock. If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. does issue preferred stock, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock with respect to dividends.
VOTING RIGHTS. Upon the effective date of the offering, the holders of common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will possess exclusive voting rights in Magyar Bancorp, Inc. Each holder of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share and will not have any right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Under certain circumstances, shares in excess of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock may be considered "Excess Shares" and, accordingly, will not be entitled to vote. See "Restrictions on the Acquisition of Magyar
Bancorp, Inc. and Magyar Bank." If Magyar Bancorp, Inc. issues preferred stock, holders of the preferred stock may also possess voting rights.
LIQUIDATION. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Magyar Bank, Magyar Bancorp, Inc., as holder of Magyar Bank's capital stock, would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of Magyar Bank, including all deposit accounts and accrued interest thereon, all assets of Magyar Bank available for distribution. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the holders of its common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all its debts and liabilities, all of the assets of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. available for distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders thereof may have a priority over the holders of the common stock in the event of liquidation or dissolution.
RIGHTS TO BUY ADDITIONAL SHARES. Holders of the common stock of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. will not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares which may be issued. Preemptive rights are the priority right to buy additional shares if Magyar Bancorp, Inc. issues more shares in the future. The common stock is not subject to redemption.
PREFERRED STOCK
None of the shares of Magyar Bancorp, Inc.'s authorized preferred stock will be issued in the offering. Such stock may be issued with such preferences and designations as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Board of Directors can, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, liquidation and conversion rights, which could dilute the voting strength of the holders of the common stock and may assist management in impeding an unfriendly takeover or attempted change in control. Magyar Bancorp, Inc. has no present plans to issue preferred stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Magyar Bank (Formerly Magyar Savings Bank)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Magyar Bank as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of income, changes in retained earnings and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank' s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Magyar Bank as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MAGYAR BANK
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2005 (unaudited) and September 30, 2004 and 2003
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Magyar Bank (the Bank) is a New Jersey Chartered Mutual Savings Bank subject to regulations issued by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank's administrative offices are located in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Bank has three branch offices which are located in New Brunswick (main branch), North Brunswick and South Brunswick, New Jersey. The Bank's savings deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF); also, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market areas. Commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and money market funds actively compete for savings and time certificates of deposit and all types of loans. Such institutions, as well as consumer financial and insurance companies, may be considered competitors of the Bank with respect to one or more of the services it renders.
The Bank is subject to regulations of certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, the Bank is periodically examined by such regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the regulation of commercial banking activities, the Bank's business is particularly susceptible to future state and federal legislation and regulations.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2005, and the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statement of retained earnings for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation have been made. Amounts appearing in the accompanying notes as of June 30, 2005 and for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are unaudited. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for an entire fiscal year.
The principal estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the allowance for loan losses. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes an analysis of the individual loans and overall risk characteristics and size of the different loan portfolios, and takes into consideration current economic and market conditions, the capability of specific borrowers to pay specific loan obligations, as well as current loan collateral values. However, actual losses on specific loans, which also are encompassed in the analysis, may vary from estimated losses.

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, time deposits with original maturities less than three months and overnight deposits.
3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Bank classifies investment securities as either held to maturity or available for sale.
Investment securities held to maturity are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount over the term of the related investments using the interest method. The Bank has the ability and positive intent to hold these securities to maturity and, accordingly, adjustments are not made for temporary declines in fair value below amortized cost. A decline in the fair value of any held to maturity security that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings. The investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at cost.
Investment securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of retained earnings, net of related income tax effects. Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are recognized upon realization utilizing the specific identification method.
Premium or discount on investment securities is recognized as an adjustment of yield by use of the interest method over the life of the investment security.
The Bank follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, which was amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", (collectively SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The Bank did not have any derivative instruments as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and September 30, 2004 and 2003.
In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB issued EITF Abstract 03-1, THE MEANING OF OTHER THAN TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT AND ITS APPLICATION TO CERTAIN INVESTMENTS (EITF 03-1). The quantitative and qualitative disclosure provisions of EITF 03-1 were effective for years ending after December 15, 2003 and were included in the Bank's 2003 financial statements. In March 2004, the EITF issued a Consensus on Issue 03-1 requiring that the provisions of EITF 03-1 be applied for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004 to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115 and 124. EITF 03-1 establishes a three step approach for determining whether an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. The Board decided to issue proposed FSP EITF 03-1a, "Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1", as final without providing additional guidance on the meaning of "Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments", and will supersede EITF 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." and EITF Topic D-44, "Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value."

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
The final FSP will replace the guidance in paragraphs 10-18 of EITF
Issue 03-1 (which had been deferred by FSP EITF 03-1-1, "Effective Date
of Paragraphs 10-20 of EITF Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments") with references to existing other-than-temporary
impairment guidance, such as Statement 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN
INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, Staff Accounting Bulletin 59,
ACCOUNTING FOR NONCURRENT MARKETABLE EQUITY SECURITIES, and Opinion 18,
THE EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS IN COMMON STOCK. FSP FAS
115-1 will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify
that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when
the impairment is considered other than temporary, even if a decision to
sell has not been made.
FSP FAS 115-1 will be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. The Bank is in the process of determining the impact that this EITF will have on its financial statements.
4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based upon the principal amounts outstanding. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to operations. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.
Income recognition of interest is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the collectibility of such interest becomes doubtful. A loan is generally classified as nonaccrual when the loan is 90 days or more delinquent. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment to the yield on loans receivable in a manner which approximates the interest method.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management deems adequate to cover estimated losses. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors, including current economic trends, industry experience, historical loss experience, industry loan concentrations, the borrowers' ability to repay and repayment performance, and estimated collateral values. In the opinion of management, the present allowance is adequate to absorb reasonable, foreseeable loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or any of the other factors used in management's determination. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Charge-offs to the allowance are made when the loan is transferred to other real estate owned or other determination of impairment.
The Bank accounts for its impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." This standard requires that a creditor measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, a creditor may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the

collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Regardless of the measurement method, a creditor may measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the creditor determines that foreclosure is probable. At June 30, 2005, September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Bank had no loans that would be defined as impaired under SFAS No. 114.
The Bank accounts for its transfers and servicing financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 revises the standards for accounting for the securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral.
The Bank follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation (FIN) 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 requires a guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. At June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, the Bank did not hold any guarantees subject to FIN 45.
In October 2003, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3, "Accounting for Loans or Certain Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." SOP 03-3 applies to a loan with the evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2004. At June 30, 2005, the Bank does not have any such loans covered by this SOP.
5. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, and include expenditures for new facilities, major betterments and renewals. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
The Bank accounts for rental costs associated with operating leases incurred for and during construction of its new headquarters / main branch building by expensing such costs on a straight line basis as required under FASB Technical Bulletin 88-1, "Issues Related to Accounting for Leases".
The Bank accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The standard requires recognition and measurement for the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. The Bank had no impaired long-lived assets at June 30, 2005 or at September 30, 2004 and 2003.
6. REAL ESTATE OWNED
Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosures are recorded at estimated fair value less cost to sell at the time of foreclosure with any writedown charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed by management and the carrying value is adjusted by a charge to expense to reflect any subsequent declines in the estimated fair value. For the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the years

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Bank did not incur any writedowns on foreclosed properties. Further declines in real estate values may result in increased foreclosed real estate expense in the future. Routine holding costs are charged to expense as incurred and improvements to real estate owned that enhance the value of the real estate are capitalized.
7. INCOME TAXES
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates, which will be in effect when these temporary differences are estimated to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The principal types of accounts resulting in differences between assets and liabilities for financial statement and tax return purposes are allowance for loan losses, deferred loan fees, accumulated depreciation and investment securities available for sale.
8. ADVERTISING COSTS
The Bank expenses advertising costs as incurred.
9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires the Bank to disclose the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. Financial instruments requiring disclosure consist primarily of investment securities, loans and deposits.
10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," established standards for reporting comprehensive income, which includes net income as well as certain other items which result in a change to equity during the period.
The income tax effects allocated to comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):
Nine months ended June 30, 2005 ------------------------------------- Net of Before tax Tax tax Amount Expense Amount ---------- ----------- ---------- (Unaudited) Unrealized gains (losses) on securities Unrealized holding losses arising during period $ (105) $ 31 $ (74) Less reclassification adjustment for losses realized in net income 6 (2) 4 Minimum pension liability 20 (9) 11 ---------- ----------- ---------- Other comprehensive loss, net $ (79) $ 20 $ (59) ========== =========== ========== |

11. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain 2004 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation.
12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB recently issued Statement 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, as part of its short-term convergence project with the International Accounting Standards Board. Statement 154 requires that all voluntary changes in accounting principles and changes required by a new accounting pronouncement that do not include specific transition provisions be applied retrospectively to prior periods' financial statements, unless it is impracticable to do so. Opinion 20, Accounting Changes, required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle as a component of net income in the period of the change. Statement 154 is effective prospectively for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date the Statement was issued (May 2005). Statement 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a transition phase as of the effective date of the Statement. The Bank is currently evaluating its possible impact.
FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), SHARE-BASED PAYMENT. Statement 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Statement 123(R) requires an entity to recognize

the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement. The revised Statement generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the fair-value-based method; and eliminates an entity's ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. The revised Statement requires entities to disclose information about the nature of the share-based payment transactions and the effects of those transactions on the financial statements. Statement 123(R) is effective for the Bank beginning July 1, 2005. The Bank must use either the modified prospective or the modified retrospective transition method. Early adoption of this Statement for interim or annual periods for which financial statements or interim reports have not been issued is permitted. The adoption of Statement 123(R) is expected to reduce reported net income and ea mgs per share. Management is in the process of evaluating Statement 123(R) and does not know its full impact on the consolidated financial statements at this time.

Prior to 1996, savings banks that met certain definitions, tests and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code were allowed to deduct, with limitations, a bad debt deduction computed as a percentage of taxable income before such deduction. Currently, the Bank employs the reserve method to account for bad debt.
The Bank is not required to provide a deferred tax liability for its tax loss reserve as of December 31, 1987 (the Base Year). The amount of this reserve on which no deferred taxes have been provided is approximately $1,258,000. This reserve could be recognized as taxable income and create a current and/or deferred tax liability using the income tax rates then in effect if one of the following occur: (1) the Bank's retained earnings represented by this reserve is used for purposes other than to absorb losses from bad debts, including dividends or distributions in liquidation, (2) the Bank fails to meet the definitions, tests, or other conditions provided by the Internal Revenue Code for a qualified savings and loan association, or (3) there is a change in the Federal tax law. Deferred tax liabilities have been recorded for tax loss reserves in excess of book reserves recorded after the Base Year.
NOTE J - PENSION PLAN
The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible employees. The Bank's policy is to fund pension benefits as accrued. Plan assets are invested in six diversified investment funds of the RSI Retirement Trust (the Trust), a no load series open-ended mutual fund. The investment funds include four equity mutual funds and two bond mutual funds, each with its own investment objectives, investment strategies and risks, as detailed in the Trust's prospectus. The Trust has been given discretion by the Plan Sponsor to determine the

NOTE J - PENSION PLAN - Continued
appropriate strategic asset allocation versus plan liabilities, as governed by the Trust's Statement of Investment Objectives and Guidelines (the Guidelines).
The long-term investment objective is to be invested 65% in equity securities (equity mutual funds) and 35% in debt securities (bond mutual funds). If the plan is underfunded under the Guidelines, the bond fund portion will be temporarily increased to 50% in order to lessen asset value volatility. When the plan is no longer underfunded, the bond fund portion will be decreased back to 35%. Asset rebalancing is performed at least annually, with interim adjustments made when the investment mix varies more than 5% from the target (i.e., a 10% target range).
The investment goal is to achieve investment results that will contribute to the proper funding of the pension plan by exceeding the rate of inflation over the long-term. In addition, investment managers for the Trust are expected to provide above average performance when compared to their peer managers. Performance volatility is also monitored. Risk/volatility is further managed by the distinct investment objectives of each of the Trust funds and the diversification within each fund.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Bank's balance sheet at September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):
2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Actuarial present value of benefit obligations $ 2,110 $ 1,748 ============ ============ Change in benefit obligation Projected benefit obligation $ 2,383 $ 1,885 Service cost 125 106 Interest cost 149 136 Actuarial gains 81 264 Annuity payments and lump sum distributions (8) (8) ------------ ------------ Projected benefit obligation $ 2,730 $ 2,383 ============ ============ Change in plan assets Market value of assets $ 1,536 $ 1,156 Actual return on plan assets 129 127 Employer contributions 233 260 Annuity payments and lump sum distributions (8) (8) ------------ ------------ Market value of assets 1,890 1,535 ------------ ------------ Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (840) (847) Unrecognized net obligation 54 57 Unrecognized net losses 931 915 Prior service cost due to plan amendment August 1, 1998 57 71 ------------ ------------ Prepaid pension costs $ 202 $ 196 ============ ============ |

Net pension cost for the years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, included the following components (in thousands):
2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Service cost benefits earned during the year $ 125 $ 106 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 149 136 Expected return on plan assets (127) (118) Amortization of transitional obligation 3 3 Amortization of unrecognized loss 63 60 Amortization of unrecognized past service liability 14 14 ------------ ------------ Net periodic pension cost $ 227 $ 201 ============ ============ |
For 2004 and 2003, the weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 6.125% and 6.25% and 3.25% and 3.50%, respectively. The expected long-term rates of return on assets were 7.50% and 7.50% for 2004 and 2003.
DETERMINATION OF LONG-TERM RATE-OF-RETURN
The long-term rate-of-return on assets assumption was set based on historical returns earned by equities and fixed income securities, adjusted to reflect expectations of future returns as applied to the plan's target allocation of asset classes. Equities and fixed income securities were assumed to earn real rates of return in the ranges of 5-9% and 2-6%, respectively. The long-term inflation rate was estimated to be 3%. When these overall return expectations are applied to the plan's target allocation, the expected rate of return is determined to be between 6.5% and 10.5%.
CURRENT ASSET ALLOCATION
The Bank's pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at September 30, 2004 and 2003, by asset category are as follows:
2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Equity securities 52% 52% Debt Securities (Bond Mutual Funds) 48% 48% ------------ ------------ Total 100% 100% ============ ============ |
EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS
For the Fiscal Year ending September 30, 2005, the Bank expects to contribute approximately $170,000 to the Plan.

NOTE K - NONQUALIFIED COMPENSATION PLAN
During 1996, the Bank adopted a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for the benefit of its officers. In addition, the Bank also adopted voluntary Deferred Income and Emeritus Plans on behalf of their directors and those directors elected by the Board as "Director Emeritus." The SERP provides the Bank with the opportunity to supplement the retirement income of selected officers to achieve equitable wage replacement at retirement while the Deferred Income Plan provides participating directors with an opportunity to defer all or a portion of their fees into a tax deferred accumulation account for future retirement. The Director Emeritus Plan enables the Bank to reward its directors for longevity of service in consideration of their availability and consultation at a sum equal to a fifteen year certain annuity based on fifty-percent of their directors' last years' Board fee. The SERP is based upon achieving retirement benefits equal to two percent multiplied by the number of service years multiplied by the final salary.
In 2001, the Bank adopted a New Director Emeritus Plan (the New Plan), which supplemented the prior Director Emeritus Plans. Under the New Plan, the Directors will be entitled to a Benefit upon attainment of his/her benefit age. The Directors will receive an annual amount in monthly installments based on the his/her total Board and Committee fees in the twelve month prior to attainment of his/her benefit age. The amount will be 10% plus 2% for each year of service with a maximum of 50%, provided that the Director has served for at least five years with a maximum of 60%.
The Bank funded the original plans through a modified endowment contract with a cash premium paid of $2,468,250 during fiscal 1996 and an additional cash premium of $800,000 during 2000. The New Plan was funded on August 1, 2001 with a cash premium paid of $845,000. Income recorded for the plans represents life insurance income as recorded based on the projected increases in cash surrender values of life insurance policies. As of June 30, 2005, September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Life Insurance Contracts have a cash surrender value of approximately $5,764,000, $5,636,000 and $5,181,000, respectively.
The Bank is recording benefit costs so that the cost of each participant's retirement benefits is being expensed and accrued over the participant's active employment so as to result in a liability at retirement date equal to the present value of the benefits expected to be provided.
As of June 30, 2005, September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Bank had accrued approximately $395,000, $127,000 and $1,332,000, respectively, for benefits under these Plans.

The Bank has a defined contribution 401(k) plan covering all employees, as defined under the plan document. Employees may contribute to the plan, as defined under the plan document, and the Bank can make discretionary contributions. The Bank contributed approximately $81,000, $53,000, $76,000 and $51,000 to the plan for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At June 30, 2005, September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Bank had outstanding commitments (substantially all of which expire within one year) to originate residential mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial real estate and consumer loans. These commitments were comprised of fixed and variable rate loans (in thousands).

Unused lines of credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.
NOTE O - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:
Cash on hand and on deposit -- For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment securities -- For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices.
Loans -- Fair value for the loan portfolio is based on independent prices obtained from an independent brokerage firm. Such estimates incorporate information relating to weighted average term to maturity, weighted average coupon, the weighted average balance, the value of servicing rights, rate resetting characteristics, maturity and amortization attributes.
For nonperforming loans, fair value is calculated by first reducing the carrying value by a reserve amount based on internal and regulatory loan classifications. Values are further adjusted according to recent appraised values on the individual properties. If recent appraisals are not available, a discount is applied depending on the date of the last appraisal performed on the property. The carrying value, which is net of reserves and valuation allowances, is therefore considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated costs to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments including commitments to extend credit and the fair value of letter of credit are considered immaterial.
Savings deposits -- The fair value of savings deposits with no stated maturity, such as money market deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the Bank for deposits of similar size, type and maturity.

NOTE O - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Continued
Accrued interest receivable and payable -- For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances and Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements -- The fair value of borrowings is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is equivalent to the rate currently offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York for borrowings of similar maturity and terms.

NOTE P - REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of this balance for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, was approximately $375,000.
The Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk-weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Leverage Capital, Tier I and Total Risk-based Capital. The following table sets forth (in thousands) the Bank's actual and required capital levels under those measures:

As of September 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. At September 30, 2004, management believes that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
NOTE Q - REORGANIZATION (UNAUDITED)
On July 6, 2005, the Board of Directors of Magyar Bank adopted a Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan pursuant to which the Bank proposes to reorganize from a New Jersey-chartered mutual savings bank into the mutual holding company structure pursuant to the laws of the State of New Jersey, the regulations of the Commissioner, the regulations of the FDIC, and other applicable federal laws and regulations. A principal part of the Reorganization is (i) the formation of the Mutual Holding Company as a New Jersey-chartered mutual holding company, (ii) the formation of the Stock Holding Company as a capital stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company, and (iii) the conversion of the Bank to the Stock Bank, which will be a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Stock Holding Company as long as the Mutual Holding Company is in. existence. The Mutual Holding Company will always own at least a majority of the Stock Holding Company's common stock so long as the Mutual Holding Company is in existence. The Reorganization is subject to the approval of the Commissioner, the FDIC, and the FRB.

NOTE Q - REORGANIZATION - Continued
Concurrently with the Reorganization, the Stock Holding Company intends to offer for sale up to 49.9% of its Common Stock in the Stock Offering on a priority basis to qualifying depositors and Tax-Qualified Employee Plans of the Bank, with any remaining shares offered to the public in a Community Offering or a Syndicated Community Offering, or a combination thereof. The Stock Offering will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
In the event the Stock Holding Company is not established as part of the Reorganization, the Board of Directors may elect to proceed with the Reorganization by forming the Stock Bank as a direct majority-owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company. In such event, any reference in this Plan to a Stock Offering by the Stock Holding Company shall mean a stock offering by the Stock Bank directly, and the terms and conditions of the Stock Offering described herein shall apply to a stock offering by the Stock Bank unless clearly inapplicable.
As part of the Stock Offering and consistent with the Bank's ongoing commitment to remain an independent community-oriented savings bank, the Bank will establish a charitable foundation or trust. The charitable foundation would complement the Bank's existing community reinvestment and charitable activities in a manner that will allow the community to share in the growth and success of the Bank. Accordingly, concurrently with the completion of the Stock Offering, the Stock Holding Company will contribute to a new charitable foundation shares of Common Stock and/or cash, provided the total contribution of Common Stock and/or cash to the charitable foundation does not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of the Stock Offering, and provided that the number of shares of Common Stock to be held by the charitable foundation following such contribution shall be less than 2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding.

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Articles NINTH and TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") set forth circumstances under which directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation may be insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities as such:
NINTH:
A. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or an Officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, Officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, Officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section C hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
B. The right to indemnification conferred in Section A of this Article NINTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections A and B of this Article NINTH shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
C. If a claim under Section A or B of this Article NINTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee also shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the
Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article NINTH or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
D.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: PROPOSED MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY FORMATION - ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATIVE AND
MARKETING SERVICES
Dear Ms. Hance:
Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. ("RBCO") is pleased to submit this engagement letter setting forth the terms of the proposed engagement between RBCO and Magyar Bank (the "Institution") in connection with the potential corporate reorganization of the Institution and sale of common stock by the Institution.
1. BACKGROUND ON RYAN BECK
Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. was organized in 1946 and is one of the nation's leading investment bankers for financial institutions. The firm is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Securities Industry Association and a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. RBCO's Financial Institutions Group is one of the nation's largest such groups devoted solely to investment banking services for financial institutions.
2. MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY FORMATION AND STOCK OFFERING
The Institution is considering reorganizing into a two-tier mutual holding company structure by forming a mutual holding company and middle-tier holding company ("Holding Company") pursuant to

applicable regulations. The common stock (the "Common Stock") would be offered in a subscription offering with any remaining shares expected to be sold in a community offering and, if necessary, a syndicated community offering (collectively the "Offering"). In connection therewith, the Institution's Board of Directors would adopt a stock issuance plan (the "Plan") regarding the reorganization and the Offering. RBCO proposes to act as financial advisor to the Institution with respect to the reorganization and Offering and as selling agent with respect to the Offering. Specific terms of services shall be set forth in a definitive agency agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") between RBCO and the Institution to be executed as of the date the offering document is declared effective by the regulatory authorities.
3. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY RYAN BECK
RBCO provides and helps coordinate advisory, administrative and marketing services in connection with thrift reorganizations and related stock offerings. Our existing team has worked together on numerous such transactions.
a. ADVISORY SERVICES - As your investment banker, RBCO will work with you and your counsel to evaluate financial, marketing and regulatory issues. Our working knowledge of the law and "lore" of bank regulators, securities regulators and NASD is essential.
Our specific advisory responsibilities include:
- Advise with respect to business planning issues in preparation
for a public offering;
- Advise with respect to the choice of charter and form of
organization;
- Review and advise with respect to the stock issuance plan (e.g.
sizes of benefit plan purchases; max purchase limits for
investors);
- Advise with respect to which trading venue the shares should
trade on;
- Review and provide input with respect to the business plan to be
prepared in connection with the Offering;
- Discuss the appraisal process and analyze the appraisal with the
Board of Directors;
- Participate in drafting the offering document and any proxy
materials, and assist in obtaining all requisite regulatory
approvals;
- Develop a marketing plan for the subscription and community
offerings, considering various sales method options, including
direct mail, advertising, community meetings and telephone
solicitation;
- Develop a proxy solicitation plan, to include telephone calls
and mailings;
- RBCO does not offer data processing agent, printing and transfer
agent functions. Costs of such services will be borne by the
Institution and are subject to agreements signed by the
Institution and each service provider. RBCO will work with the
Institution to provide specifications and assistance in
selecting these and any other professionals that will perform
administrative functions in connection with the offering and the
proxy solicitation process;
- Develop a layout for the Stock Information Center (the
"Center"), where stock order and proxy card processing occur;
- Provide a list of equipment, staff and supplies needed for the
Center; and
[LOGO] RYAN BECK & CO.
EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
Elizabeth E. Hance
Magyar Bank
- Draft marketing materials including letters, order form,
advertisement, brochure. If a community meeting or road show is
anticipated, we will help draft the presentation - saving you
time; and
- Consulting with management, determine whether and when to
assemble a selling group of selected local broker-dealers to
assist in selling stock after the community offering;
b. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND STOCK INFORMATION CENTER MANAGEMENT - RBCO manages all aspects of Institution's stock offering and proxy solicitation. Successful stock sale and vote results require thorough planning and an enormous amount of attention to detail. Our efforts are meant to avoid mistakes, costly surprises and lost opportunities. We identify key logistics, define responsibilities and create timetables to help avoid confusion among the many members of the working group. An offering also requires accurate and timely record keeping and reporting. Furthermore, customers must be handled professionally and their questions must be answered accurately.
The Stock Information Center is the "command center" during a stock offering. RBCO staff's experience in managing many thrift minority stock offerings and full conversion offerings will help them minimize the burden on your management and staff. They will train and supervise the staff that you assign to the Center to help record stock orders, answer customer inquiries and participate in other activities of the Center.
Our administrative services include the following:
- Provide experienced on-site RBCO registered representatives to
manage and supervise the Center. All substantive stock offering
and proxy vote matters and customer inquiries will be handled by
RBCO;
- Prepare procedures for processing proxies, stock orders and
cash, and for handling requests for material;
- Provide scripts and training for the telephone team who will
solicit proxies and, if needed, help conduct a stock sales
telemarketing effort;
- Educate the Institution's directors, officers and employees
about the reorganization and Offering, their roles and relevant
securities laws;
- Train branch managers and customer-contact employees on the
proper response to stock purchase and proxy vote inquiries;
- Coordinate functions with and between the data processing agent,
printer, transfer agent, stock certificate printer and other
professionals;
- Design and implement procedures for handling IRA and Keogh
orders;
- Supervise Center staff in proxy card and order processing and in
proxy solicitation calling efforts; - Prepare daily vote and
sales reports for management, ensuring funds received balance to
the reports;
- Manage the pro-ration process in the event of oversubscription;
- Coordinate with Nasdaq and DTC to ensure a smooth closing and
stock trading; and
- Provide post-offering subscriber assistance.

c. SECURITIES MARKETING SERVICES - RBCO uses various sales techniques including direct mail, advertising, community investor meetings, telephone solicitation, and if necessary, assembling a selling group of broker-dealers for a syndicated community offering. The sales approach for your stock offering will be tailored to fit your specific situation, in order to best mange the offering and attract a stockholder base comprised largely of community-oriented individuals loyal to the Institution.
Our specific marketing services include:
- If applicable, assist management in developing a list of
potential investors who are viewed as priority prospects;
- The RBCO registered representatives at the Center will solicit
orders from the eligible prospects described above;
- Respond to questions related to information in the offering
document and in any proxy materials, and answer
investment-related questions;
- If the sales plan calls for community meetings, participate in
them. Community meetings can relieve customer anxiety and
generate local publicity for the Offering;
- Continually advise management on sales progress, market
conditions and customer/community responsiveness to the
Offering;
- Prepare broker "fact sheets" and arrange "road shows" for the
purpose of stimulating interest in the stock and informing the
brokerage community of the particulars of the Offering; and
- Contact other market-makers to trade the stock in the
after-market.
4. COMPENSATION
For its services hereunder, the Institution will pay to RBCO the following compensation:
a. A reorganization and proxy vote advisory and administrative services fee
of $25,000 in connection with certain services set forth in section 3.a.
and 3.b. hereof. In view of the long preparation phase prior to
commencement of the Offering, this fee shall be payable as follows:
$10,000 upon executing this letter and $15,000 upon the initial filing
of the offering document.
b. A sales fee of one percent (1.00%) of the dollar amount of the Common
Stock sold in the Offering, other than those shares sold pursuant to
subparagraph c. below. No fee shall be payable pursuant to this
subsection in connection with the sale or issuance of stock to (i)
officers, Directors, employees or immediate family of such persons
("Insiders"); (ii) a charitable foundation associated with the
Institution; (iii) qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans of
the Institution or the Insiders; or (iv) the mutual holding company.
c. For stock sold by a group of selected dealers (including RBCO) pursuant
to a syndicated community offering solely managed by RBCO (the "Selling
Group"), a fee equal to one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate dollar
amount of Common Stock sold in the syndicated community offering, which
fee paid to RBCO, along with the fee payable directly by the Institution
to the other selected dealers shall not exceed six percent (6.00%) of
the aggregate dollar amount of Common Stock so sold. In consultation
with RBCO, the Institution will determine which NASD member firms will
participate in the Selling Group and the extent of their participation.
RBCO will not commence sales of the Common Stock through the Selling
Group without the specific prior approval of the Institution.

d. If, pursuant to a resolicitation of subscribers undertaken by the Institution, RBCO is required to provide significant additional services, the parties shall mutually agree to the dollar amount of any additional compensation due.
The above compensation, less the amount of advance payments described in subparagraph a., is to be paid to RBCO at the closing of the Offering.
If, after adoption of the Plan, (i) the Plan is abandoned or terminated by the Institution; (ii) the Offering is not consummated by June 30, 2006; (iii) RBCO terminates this relationship because there has been a material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of the Institution since March 31, 2005; or (iv) immediately prior to commencement of the Offering, RBCO terminates this relationship because in its opinion, which shall have been formed in good faith after reasonable determination and consideration of all relevant factors, there has been a failure to satisfactorily disclose all relevant information in the offering document or other disclosure documents or market conditions exist which might render the sale of the Common Stock inadvisable; RBCO shall not be entitled to the compensation set forth above, but in addition to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as set forth in paragraph 7 below, shall be entitled to payment of $25,000 for its reorganization and proxy vote advisory services.
5. MARKET MAKING
If applicable, RBCO agrees to use its best efforts to maintain a market and to solicit other broker-dealers to make a market in the Common Stock so that there will be at least three market makers for the Common Stock after the Offering.
6. DOCUMENTS
The Institution and its counsel will complete, file with the appropriate regulatory authorities and, as appropriate, amend from time to time, the information to be contained in the Institution's applications to banking and securities regulators and any related exhibits thereto. In this regard, the Institution and its counsel will prepare an offering document and any other necessary disclosure documents relating to the offering of the Common Stock in conformance with applicable rules and regulations. As the Institution's financial advisor, RBCO will, in conjunction with counsel, conduct an examination of the relevant documents and records of the Institution and will make such other reasonable investigations as deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. The Institution agrees to make all documents, records and other information deemed necessary by RBCO, or its counsel, available to them upon reasonable notice. RBCO's counsel will prepare, subject to the approval of Institution's counsel, the Definitive Agreement. RBCO's counsel shall be selected by RBCO, subject to the approval of the Institution.
7. EXPENSES AND REIMBURSEMENT
The Institution will bear all of its expenses in connection with the
reorganization and the Offering of Common Stock including, but not limited to:
appraisal and business plan preparation; the Institution's
[LOGO] RYAN BECK & CO.
EXCELLENCE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
Elizabeth E. Hance

attorney fees; NASD filing fees; "blue sky" legal fees and state filing fees; services of the data processing agent, transfer agent, financial and stock certificate printers, auditors and accountants; advertising; postage; "road show" and other syndicated community offering costs; and all costs of operating the Stock Information Center, including hiring temporary personnel, if necessary. In the event RBCO incurs such expenses on behalf of the Institution, the Institution shall reimburse RBCO for such reasonable fees and expenses regardless of whether the Reorganization is successfully completed. RBCO will not incur any single expense of more than $1,000, pursuant to this paragraph without the prior approval of the Institution.
The Institution also agrees to reimburse RBCO for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by RBCO in connection with the services contemplated hereunder. In the subscription and community offering, RBCO will not incur legal fees (excluding the out-of-pocket expenses of counsel) in excess of $40,000 without the approval of the Institution. RBCO will not incur aggregate reimbursable direct out-of-pocket expenses in excess of $15,000 without the consent of the Institution. The parties acknowledge, however, that such cap may be increased by the mutual consent of the Institution and RBCO, including in the event of a material delay in the Offering which would require an update of the financial information in tabular form to reflect a period later than that set forth in the original filing of the offering document. In addition, in the event of a syndicated community offering, the Institution will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with that offering phase. Not later than two days before closing, RBCO will provide the Institution with a detailed accounting of all reimbursable expenses of RBCO and its counsel to be paid at closing.
8. BLUE SKY
To the extent required by applicable state law, RBCO and the Institution must obtain or confirm exemptions, qualifications or registration of the Common Stock under applicable state securities laws and NASD policies. The cost of such legal work and related state filing fees will be paid by the Institution to the law firm furnishing such legal work. The Institution will instruct the counsel performing such services to prepare a Blue Sky memorandum related to the Offering including RBCO's participation therein and shall furnish RBCO a copy thereof, regarding which such counsel shall state RBCO may rely.
9. AVAILABILITY OF "STARS" PROGRAM
As an additional service to the Institution, RBCO will make available for a period of 1 year following the completion of the Offering, advisory services through the RBCO Strategic Advisory Services ("STARS") program. The undersigned will serve as the senior relationship manager for this program. If the Institution elects to avail itself of the STARS program, RBCO will meet with the Institution at its request. RBCO also will provide opinions and recommendations, upon request, for the areas covered below:

In such capacity, RBCO shall act as an independent contractor, and any duties of RBCO arising out of this engagement pursuant to this letter shall be contractual in nature and shall be owed solely to the Institution.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Magyar Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Holding Company") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magyar Bancorp, MHC, a New Jersey mutual holding company (the "MHC") and the mid-tier holding company for all of the outstanding capital stock of Magyar Bank, a New Jersey chartered savings bank (the "Bank") (collectively, the "Primary Parties") hereby confirms its agreement with Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. (the "Agent"), as follows:
1. THE OFFERING. On July 6, 2005, the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the MHC adopted a Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plan"), which provides for the offering by the Holding Company of up to 2,277,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") (subject to an increase up to 2,277,000 shares), in (i) a subscription offering (the "Subscription Offering"), and, if necessary, (ii) a direct community offering (the "Direct Community Offering") and (iii) a syndicated community offering (the "Syndicated Community Offering"). The Plan also provides that the Holding Company shall contribute up to 91,080 shares of Common Stock (the "Charitable Shares") and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation ("Charitable Foundation").
Upon the completion of the Subscription Offering, Community Offering, and Syndicated Community Offering (collectively, the "Offering"), the purchasers of Shares in the Offerings will own 44.20% of the outstanding Common Stock, the Charitable Foundation will own 1.77% of the outstanding Common Stock, and the MHC will own 54.03% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Holding Company will issue the Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the "Purchase Price"). If the number of Shares is increased or decreased in accordance with the Plan, the terms "Shares" and "Charitable Shares" shall mean such greater or lesser number, where applicable.
In the Subscription Offering, non-transferable rights to subscribe for between 1,683,000 and 2,277,000 shares (subject to an increase up to 2,618,550 shares) of the Common Stock ("Subscription Rights") will be granted, in the following order of priority: (1) the Bank's
depositors with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on June 30, 2004 ("Eligible Account Holders"); (2) the Bank's tax-qualified employee plans; (3) the Bank's depositors with account balances of at least $50.00 as of the close of business on September 30, 2005 ("Supplemental Eligible Account Holders"); and (4) the Bank's depositors (the "Other Members") with account balances of at least $50.00 on [__________] ("Other Member Record Date"), subject to the priorities and purchase limitations set forth in the Plan. The Holding Company may offer shares of Common Stock for which subscriptions have not been received in the Subscription Offering in the Community Offering to members of the general public, with preference given to natural persons residing in Middlesex and Somerset Counties, New Jersey. Shares may also be reserved in the Community Offering for institutional investors. In the event a Community Offering is held, it may be held at any time during or immediately after the Subscription Offering. Depending on market conditions, shares not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering or purchased in the Community Offering may be offered in the Syndicated Community Offering to selected members of the general public through a syndicate of registered broker-dealers managed by the Agent ("Assisting Brokers") which are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
It is acknowledged that the number of Shares to be sold in the Offering may be increased or decreased as described in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined); that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Prospectus; and that the Holding Company may reject, in whole or in part, any subscription received in the Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering.
The Holding Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (File No. ____________) in order to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and has filed such amendments thereto as have been required to the date hereof (the "Registration Statement"). The prospectus, as amended, included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially became effective is hereinafter called the "Prospectus," except that if any prospectus is filed by the Holding Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act differing from the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially becomes effective, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission and shall include any supplements and amendments thereto from and after their dates of effectiveness or use, respectively.
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company is delivering to the Agent copies of the Prospectus dated [__________] of the Holding Company to be used in the Subscription Offering and Community Offering (if any), and, if necessary, will deliver copies of the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement for use in a Syndicated Community Offering and/or Public Offering, as defined in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined).
2. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Primary Parties hereby appoint Agent as their financial advisor and marketing agent to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for the Shares and to advise and assist the Primary Parties with respect to the sale of the Shares in the Offerings.
On the basis of the representations and warranties of the Primary Parties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise the MHC, the Holding Company and the Bank as to the matters set forth in the letter agreement ("Letter Agreement"), dated June ____, 2005, between the Holding Company and Agent (a copy of which is attached hereto as EXHIBIT A). It is acknowledged by the Primary Parties that the Agent shall not be obligated to purchase any Shares and shall not be obligated to take any action which is inconsistent with any applicable law, regulation, decision or order. Subscriptions for Shares will be offered by means of order forms as described in the Prospectus. Except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2, the appointment of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon consummation of the Offerings.
If selected broker-dealers are used to assist in the sale of Shares in the Syndicated Community Offering, the Primary Parties hereby, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, appoint the Agent to manage such broker-dealers in the Syndicated Community Offering. On the basis of the representations and warranties of the Primary Parties contained in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to manage the selling group of broker-dealers in the Syndicated Community Offering.
The Agent agrees to make available to the Holding Company for a period
of [ONE YEAR] following the consummation of the Offering its Strategic Advisory
Services ("STARS") program. If the Bank elects to participate in the STARS
program, the Agent will meet with the Bank at its request and will render
general advice on the financial matters listed in Section 9 of the Letter
Agreement (but not including (i) any in-depth merger and acquisition analyses or
studies which are available under the Agent's normal fee schedule, or (ii)
advice with respect to a specific acquisition transaction by, or sale of, the
Bank or the Holding Company). If the Holding Company elects to participate in
the STARS program, the Agent will waive the regular retainer fee and hourly
charges for the [ONE-YEAR] period. The Holding Company would be required,
however, to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in conjunction with the performance of these services. Such
out-of-pocket expenses include travel, legal and other miscellaneous expenses.
The Agent would not be permitted to incur any single expense in excess of
[$1,000] pursuant to this paragraph without the prior approval of the Holding
Company. If negotiations for a transaction conducted during the [ONE-YEAR]
period result in the execution of a definitive agreement and/or consummation of
a transaction for which the Agent customarily would be entitled to a fee for its
advisory or other investment banking services, the Agent shall receive a
contingent advisory fee in accordance with the terms of a separate engagement
letter to be entered into with respect to such transaction. Nothing in this
Agreement shall require the Holding Company to obtain such financial advisory
services from the Agent. After the completion of such [ONE-YEAR] period, if the
parties wish to continue the relationship, a fee will be negotiated and an
agreement with respect to specific advisory services will be entered into at
this time.
3. REFUND OF PURCHASE PRICE. In the event that the Offering is not consummated for any reason, including but not limited to the inability to sell the Shares during the Offerings (including any permitted extension thereof), this Agreement shall terminate and any persons who have subscribed for any of the Shares shall have refunded to them the full amount which has
been received from such person, together with interest at the Bank's current passbook savings rate, from the date payment is received to the date said refund is made as provided in the Prospectus. Upon termination of this Agreement, neither the Agent nor the Primary Parties shall have any obligation to the other except that (i) the Primary Parties shall remain liable for any amounts due pursuant to Sections 4, 8, 10 and 11 hereof, unless the transaction is not consummated due to the breach by the Agent of a warranty, representation or covenant; and (ii) the Agent shall remain liable for any amount due pursuant to Sections 10 and 11 hereof, unless the transaction is not consummated due to the breach by the Primary Parties of a warranty, representation or covenant.
4. FEES. In addition to the expenses specified in Section 8 hereof, as compensation for the Agent's services under this Agreement, the Agent has received or will receive the following fees from the Primary Parties:
a. An advisory and administrative services fee in the amount of $25,000, which has been paid prior to the date hereof.
b. A sales fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares sold in the Offering, other than those Shares sold pursuant to subparagraph C. below. No fee shall be payable pursuant to this subsection in connection with the sale of Shares to officers, directors, employees or immediate family members of such persons and qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans of the Holding Company and the Bank.
c. A fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares sold by the Agent in any Syndicated Community Offering which fee along with the fee payable directly by the Holding Company to assisting brokers other than the Agent will not exceed 6.00% in the aggregate. Assisting Brokers will not be utilized without the prior approval of the Primary Parties, and it is agreed that Agent will manage the Assisting Brokers in the Syndicated Offering.
In the event that the Company is required to resolicit subscribers for Shares in the Subscription and Community Offering and the Agent is required to provide significant additional services in connection with such a resolicitation, the Primary Parties and the Agent shall mutually agree to the dollar amount of additional fees due to the Agent, if any. Until any agreement called for by this paragraph is reached, the Agent shall not accrue expenses relating to any resolicitation in an amount that would cause the total expenses incurred by the Agent to be greater than as set forth in Section 8 hereof without the prior written consent of the Company or the Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3, 9, or 13, the Agent shall not be entitled to receive the fee set forth in Sections 4(a)-(c), but the Agent will retain the advisory and administrative services fee of $25,000 and the Primary Parties will reimburse the Agent for its reasonable expenses pursuant to Section 8, including without limitation communication (telephone and document delivery charges), legal and travel expenses, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof.
5. CLOSING. If the minimum number of Shares required to be sold in
the Offering on the basis of the most recently updated Appraisal (as defined in
Section 6(g)) are subscribed for at or before the termination of the Offerings,
and the other conditions to the completion of the Offering are satisfied, the
Holding Company agrees to issue the Shares on the Closing Date (as hereinafter
defined) against payment therefore by the means authorized by the Plan and to
deliver certificates evidencing ownership of the Shares in such authorized
denominations and registered in such names as may be indicated on the
subscription order forms directly to the purchasers thereof as promptly as
practicable after the Closing Date. The Closing shall be held at the offices of
special counsel to the Primary Parties, or at such other place as shall be
agreed upon among the Primary Parties and the Agent, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern
Standard Time, on the business day selected by the Holding Company which
business day shall be no less than two business days following the giving of
prior notice by the Holding Company to the Agent or at such other time as shall
be agreed upon by the Primary Parties and the Agent. At the Closing, the Primary
Parties shall deliver to the Agent by wire transfer in same-day funds the
commissions, fees and expenses owing as set forth in Sections 4 and 8 hereof and
the opinions required hereby and other documents deemed reasonably necessary by
the Agent shall be executed and delivered to effect the sale of the Shares as
contemplated hereby and pursuant to the terms of the Prospectus. The Holding
Company shall notify the Agent when funds shall have been received for the
minimum number of shares of the Common Stock. The hour and date upon which the
Holding Company shall release the Shares for delivery in accordance with the
terms hereof is referred to herein as the "Closing Date."
The Agent shall advise the Holding Company (or its agent) as to the
allocation of Shares should the final allocation not strictly correspond to the
subscriptions received. The Agent shall have no liability to any party for the
records or other information provided by the Holding Company (or its agent) to
the Agent for use in allocating the Shares. Subject to the limitations of
Section 10 hereof, the Holding Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent for any liability arising out of the allocation of the Shares in
accordance with (i) the Plan generally, and (ii) the records or other
information provided to the Agent by the Holding Company (or its agent).

operations of the Primary Parties; and (iii) stating that, in addition to the

(k) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter market, or quotations halted generally on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required by either of such exchanges or the NASD or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority other than temporary trading halts (A) imposed as a result of intraday changes in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, (B) lasting no longer than until the regularly scheduled commencement of trading on the next succeeding business-day, and (C) which, when combined with all other such halts occurring during the previous five business days, total less than three; (ii) a general moratorium on the operations of commercial banks or other federally-insured financial institutions or general moratorium on the withdrawal of deposits from commercial banks or other federally-insured financial institutions declared by either federal or state authorities; (iii) the engagement by the United States in hostilities which have resulted in the declaration, on or after the date hereof, of a national emergency or war; or (iv) a material decline in the price of equity or debt securities in the United States financial markets or elsewhere if the effect of any of (i) through (iv) herein, in the Agent's reasonable judgment, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
(l) All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent and of counsel for the Agent. Any certificate signed by an officer of the Holding Company or the Bank and delivered to the Agent or to counsel for the Agent shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Holding Company or the Bank, as the case may be, to the Agent as to the statements made therein. If any condition to the Agent's obligations hereunder to be fulfilled prior to or at the Closing Date is not fulfilled, the Agent may terminate this Agreement (provided that if this Agreement is so terminated but the sale of Shares is nevertheless consummated, the Agent shall be entitled to the compensation provided for in Section 4 hereof) or, if the Agent so elects, may waive any such conditions which have not been fulfilled or may extend the time of their fulfillment.
10. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Primary Parties jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers, directors, agents,
attorneys, servants and employees and each person, if any, who controls the
Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the
1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses, subject to the
limitation set forth in the last sentence of paragraph (c) below), joint or
several, that the Agent or any of such officers, directors, agents, attorneys,
servants, employees and controlling Persons (collectively, the "Related
Persons") may suffer or to which the Agent or the Related Persons may become
subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to
promptly reimburse the Agent and any Related Persons upon written demand for any
reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by the Agent or any Related Persons in connection with investigating,
preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or
threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions:
(i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), or any blue sky application or other
instrument or document of the Primary Parties or based upon written information
supplied by any of the Primary Parties filed in any state or jurisdiction to
register or qualify any or all of the Shares under the securities laws thereof
(collectively, the "Blue Sky Applications"), or any application or other
document, advertisement, or communication ("Sales Information") prepared, made
or executed by or on behalf of any of the Primary Parties with its consent or
based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of any of the Primary
Parties, whether or not filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify or
register the Shares under the securities laws thereof, (ii) arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing
documents or information, a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; (iii) arise from any theory of liability
whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement
(or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Applications or Sales
Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Offering;
or (iv) result from any claims made with respect to the accuracy, reliability
and completeness of the records of
Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members or for any denial or reduction of a subscription or order to purchase Common Stock, whether as a result of a properly calculated allocation pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, based upon such records; provided, however, that no indemnification is required under this paragraph (a) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue material statements or alleged untrue material statements in, or material omission or alleged material omission from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Blue Sky Applications or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Offering made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Primary Parties by the Agent or its representatives (including counsel) with respect to the Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) under the captions "Market for the Common Stock" and "The Offering-Plan of Distribution and Marketing Arrangements," except for information derived from the Prospectus. Provided further, that the Primary Parties will not be responsible for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent they result primarily from material oral misstatements by the Agent to a purchaser of Shares which are not based upon information in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or from actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent in bad faith or from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Agent agrees to repay to the Primary Parties any amounts advanced to it by the Primary Parties in connection with matters as to which it is found not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Primary Parties, their directors and officers, agents, servants and employees and each person, if any, who controls any of the Primary Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses, subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of paragraph (c) below), joint or several which they, or any of them, may suffer or to which they, or any of them, may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Primary Parties and any such persons upon written demand for any reasonable expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment of supplement thereto) or any Blue Sky Applications or Sales Information or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Agent's obligations under this Section 10(b) shall exist only if and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in, or such material fact or alleged material fact was omitted from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Primary Parties by the Agent or its representatives (including counsel) expressly
for use under the captions "Market for the Common Stock" and "The Reorganization and the Stock Offering --Plan of Distribution and Marketing Arrangements."
(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt written notice
to each indemnifying party of any action, proceeding, claim (whether commenced
or threatened), or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may
be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this Section 10,
Section 11 or otherwise. An indemnifying party may participate at its own
expense in the defense of such action. In addition, if it so elects within a
reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly
with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume defense of
such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties
that are defendants in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably
object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses
available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to
such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such
action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses
of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with
such action, proceeding or claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation.
In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses
of more than one separate firm of attorneys (unless an indemnified party or
parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to
it or them which are different from or in addition to those of other indemnified
parties) for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action,
proceeding or claim or separate but similar or related actions, proceedings or
claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or
circumstances. The Holding Company shall be liable for any settlement of any
claim against the Agent (or its directors, officers, employees, affiliates or
controlling persons), made with the Holding Company's consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Holding Company shall not, without the
written consent of the Agent, settle or compromise any claim against it based
upon circumstances giving rise to an indemnification claim against the Holding
Company hereunder unless such settlement or compromise provides that the Agent
and the other indemnified parties shall be unconditionally and irrevocably
released from all liability in respect of such claim.
(d) The agreements contained in this Section 10 and in
Section 11 hereof and the representations and warranties of the Primary Parties
set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its
officers, directors, controlling persons, agents or employees or by or on behalf
of any of the Primary Parties or any officers, directors, controlling persons,
agents or employees of any of the Primary Parties; (ii) delivery of and payment
hereunder for the Shares; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
11. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 10 is due in accordance with its terms but is found in a final judgment by a court to be unavailable from the Primary Parties or the Agent, the Primary Parties and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and
liabilities of the nature contemplated by such indemnification in such
proportion so that (i) the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by
the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this
Agreement (not including expenses) ("Agent's Fees"), less any portion of Agent's
Fees paid by Agent to Assisting Brokers, bear to the total proceeds received by
the Primary Parties from the sale of the Shares in the Offerings, net of all
expenses of the Offerings except Agent's Fees, and (ii) the Primary Parties
shall be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above
is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give
the notice required under Section 10 above, then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault of the
Primary Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof), but also the
relative benefits received by the Primary Parties on the one hand and the Agent
on the other from the Offering, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Primary Parties on the one
hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total proceeds from the Offerings, net of all expenses of the
Offerings except Agent's Fees, received by the Primary Parties bear, with
respect to the Agent, to the total fees (not including expenses) received by the
Agent less the portion of such fees paid by the Agent to Assisting Brokers. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Primary Parties on the one hand or the Agent on the other and the parties
relative intent, good faith, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Primary Parties and the Agent
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 11 were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above in this Section 11. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action,
proceedings or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 11
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action, proceeding or claim. It is expressly agreed that the Agent shall not be
liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense or be required to
contribute any amount which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid (excluding
reimbursable expenses) to the Agent under this Agreement less the portion of
such fees paid by the Agent to Assisting Brokers. It is understood and agreed
that the above-stated limitation on the Agent's liability is essential to the
Agent and that the Agent would not have entered into this Agreement if such
limitation had not been agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. No person
found guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The duties, obligations
and liabilities of the Primary Parties and the Agent under this Section 11 and
under Section 10 shall be in addition to any duties, obligations and liabilities
which the Primary Parties and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this
Section 11, each of the Agent's and the Primary Parties' officers and directors
and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or any of the Primary Parties
within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall have the same rights
to contribution as the Primary Parties and the Agent. Any party entitled to
contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action,
suit, claim or proceeding against such
party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party under this Section 11, will notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 11.
12. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE DELIVERY. All representations, warranties and indemnities and other statements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Primary Parties or the Agent submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its controlling persons, or by or on behalf of the Primary Parties and shall survive the issuance of the Shares, and any legal representative, successor or assign of the Agent, any of the Primary Parties, and any indemnified person shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations.
13. TERMINATION. Agent may terminate this Agreement by giving the notice indicated below in this Section at any time after this Agreement becomes effective as follows:
(a) In the event the Holding Company fails to consummate the sale of the minimum number of the Shares by June 30, 2006 in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as required by applicable law, this Agreement shall terminate upon refund by the Primary Parties to each person who has subscribed for or ordered any of the Shares the full amount which it may have received from such person, together with interest in accordance with Section 3, and no party to this Agreement shall have any obligation to the other hereunder, except as set forth in Sections 3, 4, 8, 10 and 11 hereof.
(b) If any of the conditions specified in Section 9 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or by the Closing Date, or waived in writing by the Agent, this Agreement and all of the Agent's obligations hereunder may be canceled by the Agent by notifying the Bank of such cancellation in writing at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, and any such cancellation shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 3, 4, 8, 10 and 11 hereof.
(c) If Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Bank shall be notified by the Agent as provided in Section 14 hereof.
(d) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3, 9, or 13, the Primary Parties shall pay the Agent the fees earned pursuant to Section 4 and will reimburse the Agent for its reasonable expenses pursuant to Section 8, including without limitation communication (telephone and document delivery charges), legal and travel expenses.
14. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.

Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 10 and 11 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provisions herein contained.

RYAN BECK & CO., INC.
MASTER SELECTED DEALER AGREEMENT
_____________, 2005
Ryan Beck & Co., Inc.
18 Columbia Turnpike
Florham Park, NJ 07932
Ladies and Gentlemen:
(1) GENERAL. We understand that Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. ("Ryan Beck") is entering into this Agreement with us and other firms who may be offered the right to purchase as principal a portion of securities being distributed to the public. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be applicable to any public offering of securities ("Securities") pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") or exempt from registration thereunder (other than a public offering of Securities effected wholly outside the United States of America), wherein Ryan Beck (acting for its own account or for the account of any underwriting or similar group or syndicate) is responsible for managing or otherwise implementing the sale of the Securities to selected dealers ("Selected Dealers") and has informed us that such terms and conditions shall be applicable. Any such offering of Securities to us as a Selected Dealer is hereinafter called an "Offering." In the case of any Offering in which you are acting for the account of any underwriting or similar group or syndicate ("Underwriters"), the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of, and binding upon, such Underwriters, including, in the case of any Offering in which you are acting with others as representatives of Underwriters, such other representatives. The term "preliminary prospectus" means any preliminary prospectus relating to an Offering of Securities or any preliminary prospectus supplement together with a prospectus relating to an Offering of Securities; the term "Prospectus" means the prospectus, together with the final prospectus supplement, if any, relating to an Offering of Securities, filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act or any successor or similar rules.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written agreements or understanding between the parties hereto or their predecessors with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(2) CONDITIONS OF OFFERING, ACCEPTANCE AND PURCHASE. Any Offering will be subject to delivery of the Securities and their acceptance by you and any other Underwriters, may be subject to the approval of all legal matters by counsel and the satisfaction of other conditions, and may be made on the basis of reservation of Securities or an allotment against subscription. You will advise us by telegram, telex, facsimile, e-mail, or other form of written communication ("Written Communication") of the particular method and supplementary terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the information as to prices and offering date referred to in Section 3(c)) of any Offering in which we are invited to participate. To the extent such
supplementary terms and conditions are inconsistent with any provision herein,
such terms and conditions shall supersede any such provision. Unless otherwise
indicated in any such Written Communication, acceptances and other
communications by us with respect to any Offering should be sent to Ryan Beck.
You may close the subscription books at any time in your sole discretion without
notice, and you reserve the right to reject any acceptance in whole or in part.
Payment for Securities purchased by us is to be made at such office as you may
designate, at the public offering price, or, if you shall so advise us, at such
price less the concession to dealers or at the price set forth or indicated in a
Written Communication, on such date as you shall determine, on one day's prior
notice to us, by wire transfer to a Ryan Beck account, against delivery of
certificates or other forms evidencing such Securities. If payment is made for
Securities purchased by us at the public offering price, the concession to which
we shall be entitled will be paid to us upon termination of the provisions of
Section 3(c) with respect to such Securities.
Unless we promptly give you written instructions otherwise, if transactions in the Securities may be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, delivery of Securities purchased by us will be made through such facilities if we are a member, or if we are not a member, settlement may be made through our ordinary correspondent who is a member.
(3) REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND AGREEMENTS.
(a) REGISTERED OFFERINGS. In the case of any Offering of Securities that are registered under the Securities Act ("Registered Offering"), you shall provide us with such number of copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any supplement thereto relating to each Registered Offering as we may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the applicable Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. We represent that we are familiar with Rule 15c2-8 under the Exchange Act relating to the distribution of preliminary and final prospectuses and agree that we will comply therewith. We agree to keep an accurate record of our distribution (including dates, number of copies, and persons to whom sent) of copies of the Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus (or any amendment or supplement to any thereof), and promptly upon request by you, to bring all subsequent changes to the attention of anyone to whom such material shall have been furnished. We agree to furnish to persons who receive a confirmation of sale a copy of the Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or Rule 424(c) under the Securities Act. We agree that in purchasing Securities in a Registered Offering we will rely upon no statements whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the Prospectus delivered to us by you. We will not be authorized by the issuer or other seller of Securities offered pursuant to a Prospectus or by any Underwriter to give any information or to make any representation not contained in the Prospectus in connection with the sale of such Securities.
(b) OFFERINGS PURSUANT TO OFFERING CIRCULAR. In the case of any Offering of Securities, other than a Registered Offering, which is made pursuant to an offering circular or other document comparable to a prospectus in a Registered Offering, including, without limitation, an Offering of "exempted securities" as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act (an "Exempted Securities Offering"), you shall provide us with such number of copies of each preliminary offering circular, the final offering circular and any supplement thereto relating
to each Offering as we may reasonably request. We agree that we will comply with the applicable federal and state laws, and the applicable rules and regulations of any regulatory body promulgated thereunder, governing the use and distribution of offering circulars by brokers or dealers. We agree that in purchasing Securities pursuant to an offering circular we will rely upon no statements whatsoever, written or oral, other than the statements in the final offering circular delivered to us by you. We will not be authorized by the issuer or other seller of Securities offered pursuant to an offering circular or by any Underwriter to give any information or to make any representation not contained in the offering circular in connection with the sale of such Securities.
(c) OFFER AND SALE TO THE PUBLIC. With respect to any Offering of Securities, you will inform us by a Written Communication of the public offering price, the selling concession, the reallowance (if any) to dealers, and the time when we may commence selling Securities to the public. After such public offering has commenced, you may change the public offering price, the selling concession, and the reallowance to dealers. With respect to each Offering of Securities, until the provisions of this Section 3(c) shall be terminated pursuant to Section 5, we agree to offer Securities to the public only at the public offering price, except that if a reallowance is in effect, a reallowance from the public offering price not in excess of such reallowance may be allowed as consideration for services rendered in distribution to dealers who are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business, who execute the written agreement prescribed by Rule 2740 of the Rules of Conduct of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") and who are either members in good standing of the NASD or foreign brokers or dealers not eligible for membership in the NASD who represent to us that they will promptly reoffer such Securities at the public offering price and will abide by the conditions with respect to foreign brokers and dealers set forth in Section 3(f) hereof.
(d) STABILIZATION AND OVERALLOTMENT. You may, with respect to any Offering, be authorized to over-allot in arranging sales to Selected Dealers, to purchase and sell Securities, any other securities of the issuer of the Securities of the same class and series and any other securities of such issuer that you may designate for long or short account, and to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities. We agree not to purchase and sell Securities for which an order from a client has not been received without your consent in each instance. We agree to advise you from time to time upon request, prior to the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) with respect to any Offering, of the amount of Securities purchased by us hereunder remaining unsold and we will, upon your request, sell to you, for the accounts of the Underwriters, such amount of Securities as you may designate, at the public offering price thereof less an amount to be determined by you not in excess of the concession to dealers. In the event that prior to the later of (i) the termination of the provisions of Section 3(c) with respect to any Offering, or (ii) the covering by you of any short position created by you in connection with such Offering for your account or the account of one or more Underwriters, you purchase or contract to purchase for the account of any of the Underwriters, in the open market or otherwise, any Securities theretofore delivered to us, you reserve the right to withhold the above-mentioned concession to dealers on such Securities if sold to us at the public offering price, or if such concession has been allowed to us through our purchase at a net price, we agree to repay such concession upon your demand, plus in each case any taxes on redelivery, commissions, accrued interest, and dividends paid in connection with such purchase or contract to purchase.
(e) OPEN MARKET TRANSACTIONS. We agree to abide by Regulation M under the Exchange Act and we agree not to bid for, purchase, attempt to purchase, or sell, directly or indirectly, any Securities, any other Reference Securities (as defined in Regulation M) of the issuer, or any other securities of such issuer as you may designate, except as brokers pursuant to unsolicited orders and as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the Securities are common stock or securities convertible into common stock, we agree not to effect, or attempt to induce others to effect, directly or indirectly, any transactions in or relating to any stock of such issuer, except to the extent permitted by Rule 101 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
(f) NASD. We represent that we are actually engaged in the investment banking or securities business and we are either (i) a member in good standing of the NASD, (ii) if not such a member, a foreign dealer not eligible for membership, or (iii) solely in connection with an Exempted Securities Offering, a bank, as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange Act, that does not otherwise fall within provision (i) or (ii) of this sentence (a "Bank"). If we are a member as described in (i), we agree that in making sales of the Securities we will comply with all applicable interpretative materials and Conduct Rules of the NASD, including, without limitation, Conduct Rules 2740 (relating to Selling Concessions, Discounts and Other Allowances) and 2790 (relating to New Issues). If we are a foreign dealer as described in (ii), we agree not to offer or sell any Securities in the United States of America, its territories or its possessions or to persons who are citizens thereof or residents therein (other than through you), and in making sales of Securities outside the United States of America we agree to comply as though we were a member with Conduct Rules 2730 (relating to Securities Taken in Trade), 2740 (relating to Selling Concessions), 2750 (relating to Transactions with Related Persons) and 2790 (relating to New Issues) as though we were such a member and to comply with Conduct Rule 2420 (relating to Dealing with Non-Members) as it applies to a nonmember broker or dealer in a foreign country. In connection with an Exempted Securities Offering, if we are a Bank, we agree to also comply, as though we were an NASD member, with the provision of Rules 2730, 2740 and 2750 of the Conduct Rules. We further represent, by our participating in an Offering, that we have provided to you all documents and other information required to be filed with respect to us, any related person or any person associated with us or any such related person pursuant to the supplementary requirements of the NASD's interpretation with respect to review of corporate financing as such requirements relate to such Offering.
We further agree that, in connection with any purchase of Securities from you that is not otherwise covered by the terms of this Agreement (whether you are acting as manager, as member of an underwriting syndicate or a selling group or otherwise), if a selling concession, discount or other allowance is granted to us, the preceding paragraph will be applicable.
(g) RELATIONSHIP AMONG UNDERWRITERS AND SELECTED DEALERS. You may buy Securities from or sell Securities to any Underwriter or Selected Dealer and, with your consent, the Underwriters (if any) and the Selected Dealers may purchase Securities from and sell Securities to each other at the public offering price less all or any part of the concession. We are not authorized to act as agent for you or any Underwriter or the issuer or other seller of any Securities in offering Securities to the public or otherwise. Nothing contained herein or in any Written Communication from you shall constitute the Selected Dealers partners with you or any Underwriter or with one another. If the Selected Dealers, among themselves or with the Underwriters, should be deemed to constitute a partnership for federal income tax purposes, then
we elect to be excluded from the application of Subchapter K, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and agree not to take any position inconsistent with that election.

(i) COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. We agree that in selling Securities pursuant to any Offering (which agreement shall also be for the benefit of the issuer or other seller of such Securities), we will comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, the applicable Rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, the applicable Rules and regulations of the NASD, the applicable Rules and regulations of any securities exchange having jurisdiction over the Offering, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations specified in Section 3(c) hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) we agree that, at all times since we were invited to participate in an Offering of Securities, we have complied with the provisions of Regulation M applicable to such Offering, in each case after giving effect to any applicable exemptions and (b) we represent that our incurrence of obligations hereunder in connection with any Offering of Securities will not result in the violation by us of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act, if such requirements are applicable to us. You shall have full authority to take such action as you may deem advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to any Offering. Neither you nor any Underwriter shall be under any liability to us, except for lack of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed by you in this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to relieve you from any liability imposed by the Securities Act.
(j) BEST EFFORTS OFFERINGS. If you communicate to us that a particular offering is being made on a best efforts basis, then the terms in this Section 3(j) apply and other inconsistent terms in this Agreement do not apply.
(i) The offering will be a best efforts offering. The offering also will be contingent and involve a closing only after receipt of necessary documentation from the issuer and satisfaction of other conditions, if any, specified in the prospectus or offering circular and the agency or engagement agreement with you and the issuer. The offering is designed to comply with applicable SEC rules, including Rules 15c2-4, 10b-9, and 15c6-1. See NASD Notice to Members 98-4, 87-61 and 84-7.
(ii) We represent and agree that we shall take necessary steps to comply with SEC Rules 15c2-4, 10b-9 and 15c6-1, including, but not limited to, depositing funds in a complying special account if funds are received before all closing conditions have been met. We also represent that we are aware that those who purchase in this best efforts offering are subject to the investor purchase limitations described in the prospectus or offering circular.
(4) INDEMNIFICATION. We agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ryan Beck, the issuer of the Securities, each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) Ryan Beck or the issuer of the Securities, and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all losses, liabilities, costs or claims (or actions in respect thereof) (collectively, "Losses") to which any of them may become subject (including all reasonable costs of investigating, disputing or defending any such claim or action), insofar as such Losses arise out of or are in connection with the breach of any representation, warranty or agreement made by us herein.
If any claim, demand, action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be brought or alleged against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing, and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnified party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to local counsel where necessary) for all such indemnified parties. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
The indemnity agreements contained in this Section and the representations and
warranties by us in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by an indemnified party or on such party's behalf or any person controlling an indemnified party or by or on behalf of the indemnifying party, its directors or officers or any person controlling the indemnifying party, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any Securities.
(5) TERMINATION; SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be terminated by either party hereto upon five business days' written notice to the other party; provided that with respect to any Offering for which a Written Communication was sent and accepted prior to such notice, this Agreement as it applies to such Offering shall remain in full force and effect and shall terminate with respect to such Offering in accordance with the last sentence of this Section. This Agreement may be supplemented or amended by you by written notice thereof to us, and any such supplement or amendment to this Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Offering to which this Agreement applies after the date of such supplement or amendment. Each reference to "this Agreement" herein shall, as appropriate, be to this Agreement as so amended and supplemented. The terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3(c) and (e) with regard to any offering will terminate at the close of business on the thirtieth day after the date of the initial public offering of the Securities to which such Offering relates, but such terms and conditions, upon notice to us, may be terminated by you at any time.
(6) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding on, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and other persons specified or indicated in Section 1, and the respective successors and assigns of each of them.
(7) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the terms and conditions set forth herein with respect to any Offering together with such supplementary terms and conditions with respect to such Offering as may be contained in any Written Communication from you to us in connection therewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
By signing this Agreement we confirm that our subscription to, or our acceptance of any reservation of, any Securities pursuant to an Offering shall constitute (i) acceptance of and agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as supplemented and amended pursuant to Section 5) together with and subject to any supplementary terms and conditions contained in any Written Communication from you in connection with such Offering, all of which shall constitute a binding agreement between us and you, individually, or as representative of any Underwriters, (ii) in confirmation that our representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 are true and correct at that time and (iii) confirmation that our agreements set forth in Sections 2 and 3 have been and will be fully performed by us to the extent and at the times required thereby.

1. INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors of Magyar Bank has adopted this Plan of |
Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan pursuant to which the Bank proposes to reorganize from a New Jersey-chartered mutual savings bank into the mutual holding company structure pursuant to the laws of the State of New Jersey, the regulations of the Commissioner, the regulations of the FDIC, and other applicable federal laws and regulations. A principal part of the Reorganization is (i) the formation of the Mutual Holding Company as a New Jersey-chartered mutual holding company, (ii) the formation of the Stock Holding Company as a capital stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company, and (iii) the conversion of the Bank to the Stock Bank, which will be a New Jersey-chartered stock savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Stock Holding Company as long as the Mutual Holding Company is in existence. The Mutual Holding Company will always own at least a majority of the Stock Holding Company's common stock so long as the Mutual Holding Company is in existence. The Reorganization is subject to the approval of the Commissioner, the FDIC, and the FRB, and must be adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Directors and by a majority of eligible votes of Voting Depositors at a meeting called and held for such purpose.
Concurrently with the Reorganization, the Stock Holding Company intends to offer for sale up to 49.9% of its Common Stock in the Stock Offering on a priority basis to qualifying depositors and Tax-Qualified Employee Plans of the Bank, with any remaining shares offered to the public in a Community Offering or a Syndicated Community Offering, or a combination thereof. The Stock Offering will be conducted in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
In the event the Stock Holding Company is not established as part of the Reorganization, the Board of Directors may elect to proceed with the Reorganization by forming the Stock Bank as a direct majority-owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company. In such event, any reference in this Plan to a Stock Offering by the Stock Holding Company shall mean a stock offering by the Stock Bank directly, and the terms and conditions of the Stock Offering described herein shall apply to a stock offering by the Stock Bank unless clearly inapplicable.
As part of the Stock Offering and consistent with the Bank's ongoing commitment to remain an independent community-oriented savings bank, the Bank may establish a charitable foundation or trust. The charitable foundation would complement the Bank's existing community reinvestment and charitable activities in a manner that will allow the community to share in the growth and success of the Bank. Accordingly, concurrently with the completion of the Stock Offering, the Stock Holding Company may contribute to a new charitable foundation shares of Common Stock and/or cash, provided the total contribution of Common Stock and/or cash to the charitable foundation does not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of the Stock Offering, and provided that the number of shares of Common Stock to be held by the charitable foundation following such contribution shall be less than 2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding.

3. BUSINESS PURPOSES FOR THE REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING
The Bank has several business purposes for effecting the proposed Reorganization and the Stock Offering. The Reorganization will structure the Bank in the stock form, which is used by commercial banks, most major business corporations and an increasing number of savings banks and savings associations. The Reorganization will permit the Stock Holding Company to issue capital stock in the Stock Offering and to infuse, as a result of the Stock Offering, additional capital into the Stock Bank. The Bank's mutual form of ownership will be preserved in the Mutual Holding Company, and the Mutual Holding Company, as a mutual corporation, will at all times control at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company so long as the Mutual Holding Company remains in existence. The Bank currently is committed to being an independent community-oriented institution, and to meeting the financial and credit
needs of the communities in which it operates. The Board of Directors believes that the mutual holding company structure is best suited for this purpose, particularly since standard mutual-to-stock conversions often result in the sale of locally based savings institutions to larger regional commercial banks.
The mutual holding company structure will facilitate acquisitions and will enable the Stock Holding Company and/or the Mutual Holding Company to acquire other banks and savings banks organized in mutual or stock form or to establish and operate a bank as a separate subsidiary.
Lastly, the Reorganization will allow the Mutual Holding Company and/or the Stock Holding Company to borrow funds, on a secured and unsecured basis, and to issue debt to the public or in a private placement. The proceeds of any such borrowings or debt issuance may be contributed to the Stock Bank as core capital for regulatory capital purposes. There can be no assurance when, if ever, any such borrowing or debt issuance would occur.
4. METHOD OF REORGANIZATION AND CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THE REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING
A. ORGANIZATION OF THE MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY, THE STOCK HOLDING COMPANY AND THE STOCK BANK
A principal part of the Reorganization will be the organization of the Stock Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Stock Holding Company. The Reorganization will be effected in the following manner, or in any manner approved by the Commissioner that is consistent with the purposes of this Plan and applicable laws and regulations.
STEP 1: The Bank will organize the Mutual Holding Company. STEP 2: The Mutual Holding Company will organize the Stock Holding Company as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company. STEP 3: The Mutual Holding Company will organize Interim as a separate wholly owned New Jersey stock savings bank subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company. STEP 4: The Bank will convert to the capital stock form of organization by exchanging its charter for that of a New Jersey stock savings bank (becoming the Stock Bank). STEP 5: Interim will merge with and into the Stock Bank with the Stock Bank as the surviving entity, and the Mutual Holding Company will become sole stockholder of the Stock Bank. STEP 6: The Mutual Holding Company will contribute the capital stock of the Stock Bank to the Stock Holding Company, and the Stock Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Stock Holding Company. |
Contemporaneously with the Reorganization, the Stock Holding Company will offer for sale in the Stock Offering shares of Common Stock representing the pro forma market value of the Stock Holding Company and the Bank. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the legal existence of the Bank will not terminate, but the Stock Bank will be a continuation of the Bank, and all property of the Bank, including its right, title, and interest in and to all property of whatsoever kind and nature, interest and asset of every conceivable value or benefit then existing or pertaining to the Bank, or which would inure to the Bank immediately by operation of law and without the necessity of any conveyance or transfer and without any further act or deed, will vest in the Stock Bank. The Stock Bank will have, hold, and enjoy the same in its right and fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed, held, and enjoyed by the Bank. The Stock Bank will continue to have, succeed to, and be responsible for all the rights, liabilities and obligations of the Bank and will maintain its headquarters and operations at the Bank's present locations.
Upon completion of the Reorganization and the Stock Offering, the Mutual Holding Company, the Stock Holding Company and the Stock Bank will be structured as follows:
-------------------------- ----------------------- Mutual Holding Public Company Stockholders -------------------------- ----------------------- At least Up to 50.1% of 49.9% of the the Common Common Stock Stock ------------------------------------------------------ |
Stock Holding Company
100% of the common stock
Stock Bank
B. OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY
The Mutual Holding Company will be a mutual corporation organized under New Jersey law. As a mutual corporation, the Mutual Holding Company will have no stockholders. The Mutual Holding Company will be required to own at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company so long as the Mutual Holding Company remains in existence. The Mutual Holding Company will have a board of directors that will initially consist of all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The management of the Mutual Holding Company will consist initially of the senior management persons of the Bank.
The rights and powers of the Mutual Holding Company will be defined by the Mutual Holding Company's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws and by the statutory and regulatory provisions applicable to bank holding companies and savings bank holding companies under
Federal and New Jersey law. Depositors who have liquidation rights in the Bank immediately prior to the Reorganization and Stock Offering will continue to have such rights in the Mutual Holding Company after the Reorganization and Stock Offering for so long as they maintain Deposit Accounts in the Stock Bank after the Reorganization, as well as an interest in the liquidation account described in Section 9 hereof. Initially, the sole business of the Mutual Holding Company will be the ownership of a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company.
The Bank will apply to the Commissioner to have the Mutual Holding Company receive or retain (as the case may be) up to $20,000, in connection with the Reorganization. The Stock Holding Company may distribute additional capital to the Mutual Holding Company following the Reorganization subject to applicable state and Federal regulations regarding capital distributions.
C. OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE STOCK HOLDING COMPANY
The Stock Holding Company will be a capital stock corporation organized under Delaware law. The Mutual Holding Company will be the majority stockholder of the Stock Holding Company after the Stock Offering, and so long as the Mutual Holding Company is in existence, the Mutual Holding Company will be required to own at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company. Following the Stock Offering, the Stock Holding Company may issue any additional amount of Non-Voting Stock to persons other than the Mutual Holding Company, and will be authorized to undertake one or more Minority Stock Offerings of less than a majority in the aggregate of the total outstanding Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company, subject to any required regulatory approvals. The Stock Holding Company will own 100% of the Voting Stock of the Stock Bank so long as the Mutual Holding Company is in existence.
The initial board of directors of the Stock Holding Company will be the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. Thereafter, the holders of shares of the Stock Holding Company's Voting Stock will elect approximately one-third of the Stock Holding Company's board of directors annually. Management of the Stock Holding Company will consist initially of the senior management persons of the Bank.
The Stock Holding Company will be able to exercise all of the powers authorized to a Delaware corporation, subject to the restrictions applicable to savings bank holding companies under the BHCA and New Jersey law. Initially, the sole business activity of the Stock Holding Company will be the ownership of at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Bank.
D. OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE STOCK BANK
The Stock Bank will be a capital stock savings bank organized under New Jersey law. The initial board of directors of the Stock Bank will be the existing Board of Directors of the Bank. Thereafter, the Stock Holding Company, as the sole stockholder of the Stock Bank, will elect approximately one-third of the Stock Bank's board of directors annually. The present management of the Bank will continue as the management of the Stock Bank following the Reorganization.
The Stock Bank will have all of the powers, rights and privileges of, and shall be subject to all limitations applicable to, capital stock savings banks under New Jersey law. The Reorganization will not reduce the retained earnings (other than the assets of the Bank retained by, or distributed to, the Mutual Holding Company or the Stock Holding Company), undivided profits, and general loss reserves that the Bank had prior to the Reorganization. Following the Reorganization and Stock Offering, such retained earnings and general loss reserves will be accounted for by the Stock Holding Company and the Stock Bank on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All insured deposit accounts of the Stock Bank will continue to be federally insured up to the legal maximum by the FDIC to the same extent as immediately prior to the Reorganization. All borrowings from the Bank shall retain the same status with the Stock Bank after the Reorganization as they had with the Bank immediately prior to the Reorganization.

6. SPECIAL MEETING AND VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THIS PLAN
The Special Meeting of Depositors shall be scheduled by order of the Board of Directors. At least 20 days before the date of such meeting, notice of the Special Meeting of Depositors shall be mailed to each Voting Depositor. This Plan must be approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by Voting Depositors. At such meeting, each Voting Depositor shall be permitted to cast one vote for each $100, or fraction thereof, of the withdrawable value of such Depositor's Deposit Account as of the Voting Record Date, but shall not be permitted to cast more than 1,000 votes.
7. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
By their approval of this Plan, the Voting Depositors shall have approved and adopted the Certificates of Incorporation and bylaws of the Mutual Holding Company, the Stock Holding Company and the Stock Bank.
8. STATUS OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS AND LOANS SUBSEQUENT TO REORGANIZATION
All Deposit Accounts in the Bank shall retain the same status after the Reorganization as these accounts had prior to the Reorganization, and each Deposit Account holder shall retain, without payment, a withdrawable Deposit Account or accounts in the Stock Bank after the Reorganization, equal in amount to the withdrawable value of such holder's Deposit Account or accounts prior to the Reorganization. All Deposit Accounts that are transferred by operation of law under this Plan to the Stock Bank will continue to be insured on the same terms up to the applicable limits of FDIC insurance coverage. All loans shall retain the same status with the Stock Bank after the Reorganization as they had with the Bank prior to the Reorganization.
9. LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
The Mutual Holding Company shall establish at the time of the Reorganization a liquidation account in an amount equal to the net worth of the Bank as of the latest practicable date prior to the completion of the Reorganization. The liquidation account will be maintained by the Mutual Holding Company for the benefit of the Depositors who continue to maintain their Deposit Accounts at the Bank after completion of the Reorganization. Each Depositor shall, with respect to his Deposit Account, hold a related inchoate interest in a portion of the liquidation account balance in relation to his/her Deposit Account balance at the Eligibility
Record Date or the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, or to such balance as it may be subsequently reduced, as hereinafter provided.
In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Mutual Holding Company and the Stock Bank (and only in such event), following all liquidation payments to creditors (including those to Deposit Account holders to the extent of their Deposit Accounts) each Depositor shall be entitled to receive a liquidating distribution from the liquidation account, in the amount of the then adjusted subaccount balance for his Deposit Account then held, before any other liquidation distribution may be made. No merger, consolidation, purchase of bulk assets with assumption of deposit accounts and other liabilities, Conversion Transaction (as described in Section 29 hereof), or other transaction with a stock holding company, mutual holding company or other institution in which the Mutual Holding Company, the Stock Holding Company or the Stock Bank is not a surviving institution, shall be deemed to be complete liquidation for this purpose. In such transactions, the liquidation account shall be assumed by the surviving institution.
The initial subaccount balance for a Deposit Account held by a Depositor shall be determined by multiplying the opening balance in the liquidation account by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such Depositor's Deposit Account and the denominator of which is the total amount of all Deposit Accounts of all Depositors in the Bank. Such initial subaccount balance shall not be increased, but shall be subject to downward adjustment as described below.
If, at the close of business on any annual closing date, commencing on or after the effective date of the Reorganization, the deposit balance in the Deposit Account of a Depositor is less than the balance in the Deposit Account at the close of business on any other annual closing date subsequent to the Eligibility Record Date or the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, the subaccount balance for such Deposit Account shall be adjusted by reducing such subaccount balance in an amount proportionate to the reduction in such deposit balance. In the event of such downward adjustment, the subaccount balance shall not be subsequently increased, notwithstanding any subsequent increase in the deposit balance of the related Deposit Account. If any such Deposit Account is closed, the related subaccount shall be reduced to zero.
The creation and maintenance of the liquidation account shall not operate to restrict the use or application of any of the net worth accounts of the Mutual Holding Company, the Stock Holding Company or the Stock Bank.
10. MINORITY STOCK OFFERINGS
In addition to the Stock Offering, the Stock Holding Company will be authorized, subject to Commissioner and applicable Federal regulatory approvals, to undertake one or more additional Minority Stock Offerings following completion of the Reorganization and the Stock Offering. Eligible Depositors of the Stock Bank will be offered subscription rights in any additional Minority Stock Offering; however a Minority Stock Offering will not require the approval of Depositors.
11. NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE OFFERED IN THE STOCK OFFERING
The total number of shares (or range thereof) of Common Stock to be issued and offered for sale pursuant to this Plan shall be determined initially by the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company in conjunction with the determination of the Independent Appraiser. The number of shares to be offered may be adjusted prior to completion of the Stock Offering. The total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Persons other than the Mutual Holding Company at the close of the Stock Offering must be less than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Stock Holding Company.
12. INDEPENDENT VALUATION AND PURCHASE PRICE OF SHARES
All shares of Common Stock sold in the Stock Offering shall be sold at a uniform price per share. The purchase price and number of shares to be outstanding shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company and the Board of Directors of the Bank on the basis of the estimated pro forma market value of the Stock Holding Company and the Bank. The aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock will not be inconsistent with such market value of the Stock Holding Company and the Bank. The pro forma market value of the Stock Holding Company and the Bank will be determined for such purposes by the Independent Appraiser.
Prior to the commencement of the Stock Offering, an Estimated Valuation Range will be established, which range may vary within 15% above to 15% below the midpoint of such range, and up to 15% greater than the maximum of such range, as determined at the time of the Stock Offering. The Stock Holding Company intends to issue up to 49.9% of its Common Stock in the Stock Offering. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued and the ownership interest of the Mutual Holding Company may be increased or decreased by the Stock Holding Company, taking into consideration any change in the independent valuation and other factors, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company.
Based upon the independent valuation as updated prior to the commencement of the Stock Offering, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company may establish the minimum and maximum percentage of shares of Common Stock that will be offered for sale in the Stock Offering, or they may fix the percentage of shares that will be offered for sale in the Stock Offering. In the event the percentage of the shares offered for sale in the Minority Stock Offering is not fixed in the Stock Offering, the Minority Ownership Interest resulting from the Stock Offering will be determined as follows: (a) the product of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Stock Holding Company and (y) the purchase price per share, divided by (b) the aggregate pro forma market value of the Bank and the Stock Holding Company upon the closing of the Stock Offering and sale of all the Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no sale of Common Stock may be consummated unless, prior to such consummation, the Independent Appraiser confirms to the Stock Holding Company and the Bank that, to the best knowledge of the Independent Appraiser, nothing of a material nature has occurred which, taking into account all relevant factors, would cause the Independent
Appraiser to conclude that the aggregate value of the Common Stock sold in the Stock Offering at the Actual Purchase Price is incompatible with its estimate of the aggregate consolidated pro forma market value of the Stock Holding Company and the Bank. If such confirmation is not received, the Stock Holding Company may cancel the Stock Offering, extend the Stock Offering and establish a new price range and/or estimated price range, extend, reopen or hold a new Stock Offering or take such other action as deemed appropriate.
The Common Stock to be issued in the Stock Offering shall be fully paid and non-assessable.
If there is a Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering of shares of Common Stock not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering, the price per share at which the Common Stock is sold in such Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering shall be the Actual Purchase Price which will be equal to the purchase price per share at which the Common Stock is sold to Persons in the Subscription Offering. Shares sold in the Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering will be subject to the same limitations as shares sold in the Subscription Offering.
13. METHOD OF OFFERING SHARES AND RIGHTS TO PURCHASE STOCK
In descending order of priority, the opportunity to purchase Common Stock shall be given in the Subscription Offering to: (1) Eligible Account Holders; (2) Tax-Qualified Employee Plans; (3) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders; and (4) Voting Depositors. Any shares of Common Stock that are not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering may at the discretion of the Bank and the Stock Holding Company be offered for sale in a Community Offering and/or a Syndicated Community Offering. The minimum purchase by any Person shall be 25 shares. The Stock Holding Company shall determine in its sole discretion whether each prospective purchaser is a "resident," "Associate," or "Acting in Concert" as defined in this Plan, and shall interpret all other provisions of this Plan in its sole discretion. All such determinations are in the sole discretion of the Stock Holding Company, and may be based on whatever evidence the Stock Holding Company chooses to use in making any such determination.
In addition to the priorities set forth below, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company may establish other priorities for the purchase of Common Stock, subject to any required regulatory approval. The priorities for the purchase of shares in the Stock Offering are as follows:
A. SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
PRIORITY 1: ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS. Each Eligible Account Holder shall receive non-transferable subscription rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock offered in the Stock Offering in an amount equal to the greater of $250,000, one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of the total shares offered in the Stock Offering, or 15 times the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Stock Offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the Qualifying Deposit of the Eligible Account Holder and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders, in each case on the Eligibility Record Date and subject to the
provisions of Section 14; PROVIDED that the Stock Holding Company may, in its
sole discretion and without further notice to or solicitation of subscribers or
other prospective purchasers, increase such maximum purchase limitation to 5% of
the maximum number of shares offered in the Stock Offering or decrease such
maximum purchase limitation to 0.1% of the maximum number of shares offered in
the Stock Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in
Section 14. If there are insufficient shares available to satisfy all
subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders, shares will be allocated to Eligible
Account Holders so as to permit each such subscribing Eligible Account Holder to
purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal
to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which such Person has
subscribed. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated pro rata to
remaining subscribing Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain
unfilled in the same proportion that each such subscriber's Qualifying Deposit
bears to the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all subscribing Eligible
Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unfilled. To ensure proper allocation
of stock, each Eligible Account Holder must list on his or her subscription
order form all accounts in which he or she had an ownership interest as of the
Eligibility Record Date. Officers, directors and their Associates may be
Eligible Account Holders. However, if an Officer, director, or his or her
Associate receives subscription rights based on increased deposits in the year
before the Eligibility Record Date, subscription rights based upon these
deposits are subordinate to the subscription rights of other Eligible Account
Holders.
PRIORITY 2: TAX-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE PLANS. The Tax-Qualified Employee Plans shall be given the opportunity to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the shares offered for sale in the Stock Offering and issued to the Foundation. If there are insufficient shares available to satisfy the aggregate subscriptions of the employee stock ownership plan and the 401k plan, available shares will be allocated first to satisfy the subscription of the 401k plan and then, to the extent shares remain available, to satisfy the subscription of the employee stock ownership plan. In the event of an oversubscription in the Stock Offering, subscriptions for shares by the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans may be satisfied, in whole or in part, out of authorized but unissued shares of the Stock Holding Company subject to the maximum purchase limitations applicable to such plans as set forth in Section 14, or may be satisfied, in whole or in part, through open market purchases by the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans subsequent to the closing of the Stock Offering.
PRIORITY 3: SUPPLEMENTAL ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS. To the extent there are sufficient shares remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders, and the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans, each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall receive non-transferable subscription rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock offered in the Stock Offering in an amount equal to the greater of $250,000, one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of the total shares offered in the Stock Offering, or 15 times the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Stock Offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the Qualifying Deposit of the Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, in each case on the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date and subject to the provisions of Section 14; PROVIDED that the Stock Holding Company may, in its sole discretion and without further notice to or solicitation of subscribers or other prospective purchasers, increase such maximum purchase limitation to 5%
of the maximum number of shares offered in the Stock Offering or decrease such
maximum purchase limitation to 0.1% of the maximum number of shares offered in
the Stock Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in
Section 14. In the event Supplemental Eligible Account Holders subscribe for a
number of shares which, when added to the shares subscribed for by Eligible
Account Holders and the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans, is in excess of the total
shares offered in the Stock Offering, the subscriptions of Supplemental Eligible
Account Holders will be allocated among subscribing Supplemental Eligible
Account Holders so as to permit each subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account
Holder to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total
allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which
such Person has subscribed. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to
each subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holder whose subscription remains
unfilled in the same proportion that such subscriber's Qualifying Deposits on
the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date bear to the total amount of Qualifying
Deposits of all subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose
subscriptions remain unfilled.
PRIORITY 4: VOTING DEPOSITORS. To the extent there are sufficient shares remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders, the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, each Voting Depositor shall receive non-transferable subscription rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock offered in the Stock Offering in an amount equal to the greater of $250,000, one-tenth of one percent (.1%) of the total shares offered in the Stock Offering, or 15 times the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Stock Offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the Qualifying Deposit of the Voting Depositor and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Voting Depositors, in each case on the Voting Record Date and subject to the provisions of Section 14; PROVIDED that the Bank may, in its sole discretion and without further notice to or solicitation of subscribers or other prospective purchasers, increase such maximum purchase limitation to 5% of the maximum number of shares offered in the Stock Offering or decrease such maximum purchase limitation to 0.1% of the maximum number of shares offered in the Stock Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in Section 14. In the event Voting Depositors subscribe for a number of shares which, when added to the shares subscribed for by Eligible Account Holders, the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans, and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, is in excess of the total shares offered in the Stock Offering, the subscriptions of Voting Depositors will be allocated among subscribing Voting Depositors so as to permit each subscribing Voting Depositor to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares for which such person has subscribed. Thereafter, unallocated shares will be allocated to each subscribing Voting Depositor whose subscription remains unfilled in the proportion that the amounts of their respective qualifying deposits bear to total qualifying deposits of all subscribing Voting Depositors.
B. COMMUNITY OFFERING
Any shares of Common Stock not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale in a Community Offering. This will involve an offering of unsubscribed shares directly to the general public with a preference to those natural Persons residing in the Community. The Community Offering, if any, shall be for a period of not more than 45 days
unless extended by the Holding Company and the Bank, and shall commence concurrently with, during or promptly after the Subscription Offering. The Stock Holding Company and the Bank may use one or more investment banking firms on a best efforts basis to sell the unsubscribed shares in the Subscription and Community Offering. The Stock Holding Company and the Bank may pay a commission or other fee to such investment banking firm(s) as to the shares sold by such firm(s) in the Subscription or Community Offering and may also reimburse such firm(s) for expenses incurred in connection with the sale. The Common Stock will be offered and sold in the Community Offering so as to achieve the widest distribution of the Common Stock. No Person may purchase more than $250,000 of Common Stock in the Community Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in Section 14. In the event orders for Common Stock in the Community Offering exceed the number of shares available for sale, shares will be allocated first to cover orders of natural Persons residing in the Community, and thereafter, to the extent any shares remain available, to cover orders of other members of the general public. In the event orders for Common Stock in either of these categories exceed the number of shares available for sale within such category, orders shall first be filled so that each Person may receive 1,000 shares (or such fewer number of shares that each subscriber can be allocated), and thereafter, remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order.
The Stock Holding Company, in its sole discretion, may reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, received from any Person under this Section 13B.
C. SYNDICATED COMMUNITY OFFERING
Any shares of Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering or in
the Community Offering, if any, may be offered for sale to the general public by
a selling group of broker-dealers in a Syndicated Community Offering, subject to
terms, conditions and procedures, including the timing of the offering, as may
be determined by the Stock Holding Company in a manner that is intended to
achieve the widest distribution of the Common Stock subject to the rights of the
Stock Holding Company to accept or reject in whole or in part all orders in the
Syndicated Community Offering. It is expected that the Syndicated Community
Offering would commence as soon as practicable after termination of the
Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if any. The Syndicated
Community Offering shall be completed within 45 days after the expiration of the
Subscription Offering, unless such period is extended as provided herein. No
Person may purchase more than $250,000 of Common Stock in the Syndicated
Community Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in
Section 14.
If for any reason a Syndicated Community Offering of unsubscribed shares of Common Stock cannot be effected and any shares remain unsold after the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if any, the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company will seek to make other arrangements for the sale of the remaining shares. Such other arrangements will be subject to any required regulatory approvals and to compliance with applicable securities laws.
14. ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK
Purchases of Common Stock in the Stock Offering will be subject to the following purchase limitations:
A. The aggregate amount of outstanding Common Stock owned or controlled by Persons other than Mutual Holding Company at the close of the Stock Offering shall be less than 50% of the Common Stock.

In calculating the number of shares held by any Management Person and his or her Associates under this paragraph, shares held by any Tax-Qualified Employee Plan or Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Plan that are attributable to such Person shall not be counted.
D.

J. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no Person shall be entitled to purchase any Common Stock to the extent such purchase would be illegal under any federal law or state law or regulation or would violate regulations or policies of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., particularly, NASD Rule 2790, "Restrictions on the Purchase and Sale of IPOs of Equity Securities.

L. A minimum of 25 shares of Common Stock must be purchased by each Person purchasing shares in the Stock Offering to the extent those shares are available; provided, however, that in the event the minimum number of shares of Common Stock purchased times the price per share exceeds $500, then such minimum purchase requirement shall be reduced to such number of shares which when multiplied by the price per share shall not exceed $500, as determined by the Board.
SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AFFORDED UNDER THIS PLAN ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE. NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER, OFFER TO TRANSFER, OR ENTER INTO ANY AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING TO TRANSFER, THE LEGAL OR BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF ANY SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS UNDER THIS PLAN. NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER, OFFER TO TRANSFER OR ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING TO TRANSFER LEGAL OR BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF ANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
EACH PERSON PURCHASING COMMON STOCK IN THE STOCK OFFERING WILL BE DEEMED TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH PURCHASE DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE PURCHASE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PLAN. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING WHETHER ANY PERSONS ARE ASSOCIATES OR ARE ACTING IN CONCERT OR WHETHER ANY PURCHASE CONFLICTS WITH THE PURCHASE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PLAN OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY PROVISION OF THIS PLAN SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE STOCK HOLDING COMPANY AND THE BANK IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION. SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE, FINAL AND BINDING ON ALL PERSONS, AND THE STOCK HOLDING COMPANY AND THE BANK MAY TAKE ANY REMEDIAL ACTION INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REJECTING THE PURCHASE OR REFERRING THE MATTER TO THE APPROPRIATE BANK REGULATORY AGENCY FOR ACTION, AS THE STOCK HOLDING COMPANY AND THE BANK MAY IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION DEEM APPROPRIATE.
15. PAYMENT FOR STOCK
All payments for Common Stock subscribed for or ordered in the Stock Offering must be delivered in full to the Stock Holding Company and the Bank, together with a properly completed and executed order form in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, on or prior to the expiration date specified on the order form, unless such date is extended by the Stock Holding Company; PROVIDED, that if the Employee Plans subscribe for shares of Common Stock during the Subscription Offering, such plans may pay for such shares at the Actual Purchase Price upon consummation of the Stock Offering. The Stock Holding Company or the Bank may make scheduled discretionary contributions to the ESOP provided such contributions from the Bank, if any, do not cause the Bank to fail to meet its regulatory capital requirement.
Payment for Common Stock shall be made either by check or money order, or if a purchaser has a Deposit Account in the Bank, such purchaser may pay for the shares subscribed for by authorizing the Bank to make a withdrawal from the purchaser's Deposit Account(s) in an amount equal to the aggregate Actual Purchase Price of such shares. Such authorized
withdrawal, whether from a savings passbook or certificate account, shall be without penalty as to premature withdrawal. If the authorized withdrawal is from a certificate account, and the remaining balance does not meet the applicable minimum balance requirements, the certificate shall be canceled at the time of withdrawal, without penalty, and the remaining balance will earn interest at the Bank's passbook rate. Funds for which a withdrawal is authorized will remain in the purchaser's Deposit Account but may not be used by the purchaser during the Stock Offering period. Upon completion of the Stock Offering, the withdrawal will be given effect only to the extent necessary to satisfy the subscription (to the extent it can be filled) at the Actual Purchase Price. Interest will continue to be earned on any amounts authorized for withdrawal until such withdrawal is given effect. The Bank or the Stock Holding Company will pay interest, at a rate no less than the Bank's passbook rate, for all amounts paid by check or money order to purchase Common Stock. Such interest will be earned from the date payment is received by the Bank or the Stock Holding Company until consummation or termination of the Stock Offering. If for any reason the Stock Offering is not consummated, all payments made by subscribers in the Stock Offering will be refunded to them with interest. In case of amounts authorized for withdrawal from Deposit Accounts, refunds will be made by canceling the authorization for withdrawal.
16. MANNER OF EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS THROUGH ORDER FORMS
As soon as practicable after the prospectus prepared by the Stock Holding Company and the Bank has been declared effective by the SEC, copies of the prospectus and order forms will be distributed to all Eligible Account Holders, the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders at their last known addresses appearing on the records of the Bank for the purpose of subscribing for shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering and will be made available to those Persons that purchase Common Stock in the Community Offering.
Each order form will be preceded or accompanied by the prospectus describing the Stock Holding Company, the Bank, the Common Stock and the Subscription and Community Offerings. Each order form will contain, among other things, the following:
A. A specified date by which all order forms must be received by the Stock Holding Company or the Bank, which date shall be not less than 20 days, nor more than 45 days, following the date on which the order forms are mailed by the Stock Holding Company or the Bank, and which date will constitute the termination of the Subscription Offering;
B. The Actual Purchase Price per share for shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings;
C. A description of the minimum and maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights or otherwise purchased in the Community Offering;
D. Instructions as to how the recipient of the order form must indicate thereon the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Person elects to subscribe and the available alternative methods of payment therefor;
E. An acknowledgment that the recipient of the order form has received a final copy of the prospectus prior to execution of the order form;
F. A statement indicating the consequences of failing to properly complete and return the order form, including a statement to the effect that all subscription rights are nontransferable, will be void at the end of the Subscription Offering, and can only be exercised by delivering to the Stock Holding Company or the Bank within the subscription period such properly completed and executed order form, together with a check or money order in the full amount of the purchase price as specified in the order form for the shares of Common Stock for which the recipient elects to subscribe in the Subscription Offering (or by authorizing on the order form that the Bank withdraw said amount from the subscriber's Deposit Account); and
G. A statement to the effect that the executed order form, once received by the Stock Holding Company or the Bank, may not be modified or amended by the subscriber without the consent of the Stock Holding Company or the Bank.
Notwithstanding the above, the Bank and the Stock Holding Company reserve the right in their sole discretion to accept or reject orders received on photocopied or facsimiled order forms.
17. UNDELIVERED, DEFECTIVE OR LATE ORDER FORM; INSUFFICIENT PAYMENT
In the event order forms (a) are not delivered by the United States
Postal Service, (b) are not returned to the Stock Holding Company or the Bank or
are received by the Stock Holding Company or the Bank after the expiration date
specified thereon, (c) are defectively filled out or executed, (d) are not
accompanied by the full required payment for the shares of Common Stock
subscribed for (including cases in which Deposit Accounts from which withdrawals
are authorized are insufficient to cover the amount of the required payment), or
(e) are not mailed pursuant to a "no mail" order placed in effect by the account
holder, the subscription rights of the Person to whom such rights have been
granted will lapse as though such Person failed to return the completed order
form within the time period specified thereon; PROVIDED, that the Stock Holding
Company may, but will not be required to, waive any immaterial irregularity on
any order form or require the submission of corrected order forms or the
remittance of full payment for subscribed shares by such date as the Stock
Holding Company may specify. The interpretation by the Stock Holding Company of
terms and conditions of this Plan and of the order forms will be final.
18. COMPLETION OF THE STOCK OFFERING
The Stock Offering will be terminated if not completed within 45 days from the expiration date of the Subscription Offering, unless such period is extended.
19. ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNDING OF CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
As part of the Stock Offering, the Stock Holding Company and the Bank
may establish a Foundation which will qualify as an exempt organization under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and contribute to the Foundation
(i) shares of Common Stock that shall represent
less than 2% of the number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding following the Stock Offering, and/or (ii) cash, provided that the total contribution to the Foundation does not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Common Stock in the Stock Offering. Contributions to the Foundation in connection with the Stock Offering are intended to complement the Bank's existing community reinvestment activities and to permit the communities in which the Bank operates to share in financial success of the Bank as a locally headquartered, community-oriented savings bank.
The Foundation will be dedicated to the promotion of charitable purposes within the communities in which the Bank operates, including, but not limited to, grants or donations to support housing assistance, scholarships, local education, not-for-profit medical facilities, not-for-profit community groups and other types of organizations or civic minded projects. The Foundation will distribute annually total grants to assist charitable organizations or to fund projects within its local community of not less than 5% of the average fair value of Foundation assets each year. In order to serve the purposes for which it was formed and maintain its 501(c)(3) qualification, the Foundation may sell, on an annual basis, a limited portion of the Common Stock contributed to it.
The board of directors of the Foundation will be responsible for establishing the policies of the Foundation with respect to grants or donations, consistent with the stated purposes of the Foundation. The Foundation will comply with applicable federal banking laws and regulations.
20. MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
If at the close of the Stock Offering the Stock Holding Company has more than 100 shareholders of any class of stock, the Stock Holding Company shall use its best efforts to encourage and assist a market maker to establish and maintain a market for that class of stock; and list that class of stock on a national or regional securities exchange, or on the Nasdaq quotation system.
21. STOCK PURCHASES BY MANAGEMENT PERSONS AFTER THE STOCK OFFERING
For a period of three years after the Stock Offering, no Management Person or his or her Associates may purchase, without prior regulatory approval, any Common Stock, except from a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, except that the foregoing shall not apply to:
A. Negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of the outstanding stock in the class of stock; or
B. Purchases of stock made by and held by any Tax-Qualified or Non-Tax Qualified Employee Plan even if such stock is attributable to Management Persons or their Associates.
22. RESALES OF STOCK BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Common Stock purchased by Management Persons in the Stock Offering may not be resold for a period of at least one year following the date of purchase, except in the case of death of a Management Person or an Associate.
23. STOCK CERTIFICATES
Each stock certificate shall bear a legend giving appropriate notice of the restrictions set forth in Section 22 above. Appropriate instructions shall be issued to the Stock Holding Company's transfer agent with respect to applicable restrictions on transfers of such stock. Any shares of stock issued as a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise with respect to such restricted stock, shall be subject to the same restrictions as apply to the restricted stock.
24. RESTRICTION ON FINANCING STOCK PURCHASES
The Stock Holding Company and the Bank will not loan funds to any Person to purchase Common Stock in the Stock Offering, and will not knowingly offer or sell any of the Common Stock to any Person whose purchase would be financed by funds loaned to the Person by the Stock Holding Company, the Bank or any Affiliate.
25. STOCK BENEFIT PLANS
The Board of Directors of the Bank and/or the Board of Directors of the Stock Holding Company intend to adopt one or more stock benefit plans for employees, officers and directors, including an ESOP, stock award plans and stock option plans, which will be authorized to purchase Common Stock and grant options for Common Stock. However, only the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans will be permitted to purchase Common Stock in the Stock Offering, subject to the purchase priorities set forth in this Plan. The Board of Directors of the Bank intends to establish the ESOP and authorize the ESOP and any other Tax-Qualified Employee Plans to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the shares sold in the Stock Offering. The Bank or the Stock Holding Company may make scheduled discretionary contributions to one or more Tax-Qualified Employee Plans to purchase Common Stock sold in the Stock Offering, or to purchase issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in the open market or from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or treasury shares from the Holding Company subsequent to the completion of the Stock Offering; provided such contributions do not cause the Bank to fail to meet any of its regulatory capital requirements. In addition to shares purchased by one or more Tax-Qualified Employee Plans in this Stock Offering, any subsequent stock offering, and/or from authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares of the Stock Holding Company, this Plan also specifically authorizes the Stock Holding Company to grant awards under one or more stock benefit plans, including stock recognition and award plans and stock option plans, in an amount up to 25% of the shares of Common Stock held by Persons other than the Mutual Holding Company, and such stock benefit plans may obtain their shares from authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares, or through open market purchases.
26. POST-STOCK ISSUANCE FILING AND MARKET MAKING
If the Stock Holding Company has more than 35 stockholders of any class of stock, the Stock Holding Company shall register its Common Stock with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and shall undertake not to deregister such Common Stock for a period of three years thereafter.
27. PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND REPURCHASE OF STOCK
The Stock Holding Company may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its Common Stock if the effect thereof would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to be reduced below the amount required under applicable federal or state regulations. Otherwise, the Stock Holding Company may declare dividends or make other capital distributions in accordance with applicable federal or state regulations. The Mutual Holding Company may from time to time purchase shares of Common Stock.
28. STOCK OFFERING EXPENSES
The Stock Holding Company and the Bank will use its best efforts to assure that the expenses incurred by the Bank and the Stock Holding Company in effecting the Stock Offering will be reasonable.
29. CONVERSION OF MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY TO STOCK FORM
Following the completion of the Stock Offering, the Mutual Holding Company may elect to convert to stock form in accordance with applicable law in a Conversion Transaction. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur. In a Conversion Transaction, the Mutual Holding Company would merge with and into the Bank or the Stock Holding Company, with the Bank or the Stock Holding Company as the resulting entity, and the depositors of the Bank would receive the right to subscribe for shares of common stock of the Stock Holding Company or its successor, which shares would represent the ownership interest of the Mutual Holding Company in the Stock Holding Company and the Bank. The additional shares of common stock of the Stock Holding Company issued in the Conversion Transaction would be sold at their aggregate pro forma market value as determined by an Independent Appraisal.
Any Conversion Transaction shall be fair and equitable to Minority Stockholders. In any Conversion Transaction, Minority Stockholders will be entitled without additional consideration to maintain the same percentage ownership interest in the Stock Holding Company after the Conversion Transaction as their percentage ownership interest in the Stock Holding Company immediately prior to the Conversion Transaction (I.E., the Minority Ownership Interest).
At the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company and the Stock Holding Company, a Conversion Transaction may be effected in any other manner necessary to qualify the Conversion Transaction as a tax-free reorganization under applicable federal and state tax laws, provided such Conversion Transaction does not diminish the rights and ownership interest of Minority Stockholders. If a Conversion Transaction does not occur, the Mutual Holding Company will always own a majority of the Voting Stock of the Stock Holding Company.
A Conversion Transaction would require regulatory approval and would be presented to a vote of the Depositors of the Bank and of the Minority Stockholders. In any Conversion Transaction, the Depositors of the Bank will be accorded the same stock purchase priorities as if the Mutual Holding Company were a mutual savings bank converting to stock form.
30. RESIDENTS OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND CERTAIN STATES
The Stock Holding Company will make reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all states in the United States in which Persons entitled to subscribe for shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan reside. However, no such Person will be issued subscription rights in the Subscription Offering or be permitted to purchase shares of Common Stock if such Person resides in a foreign country or in a state of the United States with respect to which any of the following apply: (A) a small number of Persons otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares under this Plan reside in such state; (B) the issuance of subscription rights or the offer or sale of shares of Common Stock to such Persons would require the Stock Holding Company, under the securities laws of such state, to register as a broker, dealer, salesman or agent or to register or otherwise qualify its securities for sale in such state; or (C) such registration or qualification would be impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise.
31. INTERPRETATION
All interpretations of this Plan and application of its provisions to particular circumstances by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Bank shall be final, subject to applicable bank regulatory authority.
32. REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING EXPENSES
The Bank will use its best efforts to assure that the expenses incurred by the Bank and the Stock Holding Company in effecting the Reorganization and the Stock Offering will be reasonable.
33. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN
If necessary or desirable, the terms of this Plan may be amended by a two-thirds vote of the Bank's Board of Directors at any time prior to submission of this Plan to a vote of Depositors. At any time after submission of this Plan to a vote of Depositors, the terms of this Plan may be amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors in response to comments received from the Commissioner or the FDIC, and may be amended for any other reason only with the concurrence of the Commissioner and the FDIC. This Plan may be terminated at any time by a majority vote of the Board of Directors.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation").
SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle. The name of the registered agent at that address is The Corporation Service Company.
THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.
FOURTH:
A. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Nine Million (9,000,000) consisting of:
1. Eight Million (8,000,000) of Common Stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share (the "Common Stock"); and
2. One Million (1,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value one cent ($0.01) per share (the "Preferred Stock").
B. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (such certificate being hereinafter referred to as a "Preferred Stock Designation"), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Preferred Stock Designation.
C. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, in no event shall any record owner of any outstanding Common Stock which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who, as of any record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on any matter, beneficially owns in excess of 10% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Limit"), be entitled, or permitted to any vote in respect of the shares held in excess of the Limit, except that such restriction and all restrictions set forth in this subsection "C" shall not apply to Magyar Bancorp, MHC (the "Mutual Holding Company"), or any tax qualified employee stock benefit plan established by the Corporation, which shall be able to vote in respect to shares held in excess of the Limit. The number of votes
which may be cast by any record owner by virtue of the provisions hereof in respect of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person owning shares in excess of the Limit shall be a number equal to the total number of votes which a single record owner of all Common Stock owned by such person would be entitled to cast, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of such class or series which are both beneficially owned by such person and owned of record by such record owner and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such person owning shares in excess of the Limit.
2. The following definitions shall apply to this Section C of this Article FOURTH:
(a) "Affiliate" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as in effect on the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation.
(b) "Beneficial ownership" shall be determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any successor rule or statutory provision), or, if said Rule 13d-3 shall be rescinded and there shall be no successor rule or statutory provision thereto, pursuant to said Rule 13d-3 as in effect on the date of filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that a person shall, in any event, also be deemed the "beneficial owner" of any Common Stock:
(1) which such person or any of its affiliates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; or
(2) which such person or any of its affiliates has
(i) the right to acquire (whether such right is
exercisable immediately or only after the
passage of time), pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (but shall not be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of any voting
shares solely by reason of an agreement,
contract, or other arrangement with this
Corporation to effect any transaction which is
described in any one or more of clauses of
Section A of Article EIGHTH) or upon the
exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights,
warrants, or options or otherwise, or (ii) sole
or shared voting or investment power with
respect thereto pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement, understanding, relationship or
otherwise (but shall not be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of any voting shares solely by
reason of a revocable proxy granted for a
particular meeting of stockholders, pursuant to
a public solicitation of proxies for such
meeting, with respect to shares of which neither
such person nor any such affiliate is otherwise
deemed the beneficial owner); or
(3) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such first mentioned person or any of its
affiliates acts as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of capital stock of this Corporation;
and provided further, however, that (1) no Director or Officer of this Corporation (or any affiliate of any such Director or Officer) shall, solely by reason of any or all of such Directors or Officers acting in their capacities as such, be deemed, for any purposes hereof, to beneficially own any Common Stock beneficially owned by another such Director or Officer (or any affiliate thereof), and (2) neither any employee stock ownership plan or similar plan of this Corporation or any subsidiary of this Corporation, nor any trustee with respect thereto or any affiliate of such trustee (solely by reason of such capacity of such trustee), shall be deemed, for any purposes hereof, to beneficially own any Common Stock held under any such plan. For purposes of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of Common Stock of a person the outstanding Common Stock shall include shares deemed owned by such person through application of this subsection but shall not include any other Common Stock which may be issuable by this Corporation pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise. For all other purposes, the outstanding Common Stock shall include only Common Stock then outstanding and shall not include any Common Stock which may be issuable by this Corporation pursuant to any agreement, or upon the exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.
(c) A "person" shall include an individual, firm, a group acting in concert, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint venture, a pool, a joint stock company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or similar company, a syndicate or any other group formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities or any other entity.
3. The Board of Directors shall have the power to construe and apply the provisions of this section and to make all determinations necessary or desirable to implement such provisions, including but not limited to matters with respect to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any person, (ii) whether a person is an affiliate of another, (iii) whether a person has an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with another as to the matters referred to in the definition of beneficial ownership, (iv) the application of any other definition or operative provision of the section to the given facts, or (v) any other matter relating to the applicability or effect of this section.
4. The Board of Directors shall have the right to demand that any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own Common Stock in excess of the Limit (or holds of record Common Stock beneficially owned by any person in excess of the Limit) supply the
Corporation with complete information as to (i) the record owner(s) of all shares beneficially owned by such person who is reasonably believed to own shares in excess of the Limit, (ii) any other factual matter relating to the applicability or effect of this section as may reasonably be requested of such person.
5. Except as otherwise provided by law or expressly provided in this section, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitling the holders thereof to cast a majority of the votes (after giving effect, if required, to the provisions of this section) entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, and every reference in this Certificate of Incorporation to a majority or other proportion of capital stock (or the holders thereof) for purposes of determining any quorum requirement or any requirement for stockholder consent or approval shall be deemed to refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes (or the holders thereof) then entitled to be cast in respect of such capital stock, after giving effect to the provisions of this section.
6. Any constructions, applications, or determinations made by the Board of Directors pursuant to this section in good faith and on the basis of such information and assistance as was then reasonably available for such purpose shall be conclusive and binding upon the Corporation and its stockholders.
7. In the event any provision (or portion thereof) of this section shall be found to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of this section shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or otherwise rendered inapplicable, it being the intent of this Corporation and its stockholders that such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of this section remain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all stockholders, including stockholders owning an amount of stock over the Limit, notwithstanding any such finding.
FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its Directors and stockholders:
A. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation, the Directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.
B. The Directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
C. Subject to the rights of any class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may be effected by the unanimous consent in writing by such stockholders.
D. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directorships (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption) (the "Whole Board") or as otherwise provided in the Bylaws.
SIXTH:
A. The number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. The Directors shall be divided into three classes, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders one year thereafter and the term of office of the third class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders two years thereafter. At each annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification and election, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election.
B. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and Directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been chosen expires. No decrease in the number of Directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.
C. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of Directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
D. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any Director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation ("Article FOURTH")), voting together as a single class.
SEVENTH: The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board of Directors shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
Directors (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH), voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation.
EIGHTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any offer of another Person (as defined in Article EIGHTH hereof) to (A) make a tender or exchange offer for any equity security of the Corporation, (B) merge or consolidate the Corporation with another corporation or entity or (c) purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Corporation, may, in connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best interest of the Corporation and its stockholders, give due consideration to all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the social and economic effect of acceptance of such offer on the Corporation's present and future customers and employees and those of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Article EIGHTH hereof); on the communities in which the Corporation and its Subsidiaries operate or are located; on the ability of the Corporation to fulfill its corporate objectives as a savings bank holding company and on the ability of its subsidiary savings bank to fulfill the objectives of a stock savings bank under applicable statutes and regulations.
NINTH:
A. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or an Officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director, Officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Director, Officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section C hereof with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
B. The right to indemnification conferred in Section A of this Article NINTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director of Officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the
Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections A and B of this Article NINTH shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.
C. If a claim under Section A or B of this Article NINTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee also shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article NINTH or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
D. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article NINTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise.
E. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
F. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article NINTH with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and Officers of the Corporation.
TENTH: A Director of this Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.
Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
ELEVENTH: At all times so long as the Mutual Holding Company shall be in existence the Mutual Holding Company shall own at least a majority of the Voting Stock of this Corporation and the corporation shall not be authorized to issue any shares of Voting Stock or take any action while the Mutual Holding Company is in existence if after such issuance or action the Mutual Holding Company shall own less than the majority of the Corporation's Voting Stock. For these purposes, "Voting Stock" means common stock or preferred stock, or similar interests if the shares by statute, charter or in any manner, entitle the holder: (i) to vote for or to select directors of the Corporation; and (ii) to vote on or to direct the conduct of the operations or other significant policies of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence, preferred stock is not "Voting Stock" if: (i) voting rights associated with the preferred stock are limited solely to the type customarily provided by statute with regard to matters that would significantly and adversely affect the rights or preferences of the preferred stock, such as the issuance of additional amounts or classes of senior securities, the modification of the terms of the preferred stock, the dissolution of the Corporation, or the payment of dividends by the Corporation when preferred dividends are in arrears; (ii) the preferred stock represents an essentially passive investment or financing device and does not otherwise provide the holder with control over the Corporation; and (iii) the preferred stock does not at the time entitle the holder, by statute, charter, or otherwise, to select or to vote for the selection of directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two sentences, "Voting Stock" shall be deemed to include preferred stock and other securities that, upon transfer or otherwise, are convertible into Voting Stock or exercisable to acquire Voting Stock where the holder of the stock, convertible security or right to acquire Voting Stock has the preponderant economic risk in the underlying Voting Stock. Securities immediately convertible into Voting Stock at the option of the holder without payment of additional consideration shall be deemed to constitute the Voting Stock into which they are convertible; other convertible securities and rights to acquire Voting Stock shall not be deemed to vest the holder with the preponderant
economic risk in the underlying Voting Stock if the holder has paid less than 50% of the consideration required to directly acquire the Voting Stock and has no other economic interest in the underlying Voting Stock.
TWELFTH: The Mutual Holding Company may elect to convert to stock form in accordance with applicable law and regulation (a "Conversion Transaction"). In a Conversion Transaction, the Mutual Holding Company will merge with and into Magyar Savings Bank (the "Bank"), with the Bank as the resulting entity, and the depositors of the Bank will receive the right to subscribe for a number of shares of common stock of the Corporation, as determined by the formula set forth in the following paragraphs. The additional shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issued in the Conversion Transaction shall be sold at their aggregate pro forma market value.
In any Conversion Transaction, stockholders of the Corporation other than the Mutual Holding Company ("Minority Stockholders"), if any, will be entitled to maintain the same percentage ownership interest in the Corporation after the Conversion Transaction as their ownership interest in the Corporation immediately prior to the Conversion Transaction (i.e., the "Minority Ownership Interest"), subject only to adjustment (if required by federal or state law, regulation, or regulatory policy) to reflect (i) the cumulative effect of the aggregate amount of dividends waived by the Mutual Holding Company, and (ii) the market value of assets of the Mutual Holding Company (other than common stock of the Corporation).
The adjustment referred to in (i) above would require that the Minority Ownership Interest be adjusted by multiplying the Minority Ownership Interest by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to Corporation's stockholders' equity at the time of the Conversion Transaction less the aggregate amount of dividends waived by the Mutual Holding Company, and the denominator is equal to the Corporation's stockholders' equity at the time of the Conversion Transaction.
The adjustment referred to in (ii) above would further adjust the Minority Ownership Interest by multiplying it by a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the pro forma market value of the Corporation less the market value of the Mutual Holding Company's assets other than corporation common stock, and the denominator of which is equal to the pro forma market value of the Corporation.
At the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company and the Corporation, a Conversion Transaction may be effected in any other manner necessary to qualify the Conversion Transaction as a tax-free reorganization under applicable federal and state tax laws, provided such Conversion Transaction does not diminish the rights and ownership interest of Minority Stockholders as set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section. If a Conversion Transaction does not occur, the Mutual Holding Company will always own a majority of the Voting Stock of the Corporation.
THIRTEENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation
or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors (after giving effect to the provisions of Article FOURTH), voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal this Article THIRTEENTH, Section C of Article FOURTH, Sections C or D of Article FIFTH, Article SIXTH, Article SEVENTH, Article EIGHTH or Article TENTH.
FOURTEENTH: The name and mailing address of the sole incorporator are as follows:

The Home Office of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") shall be in New Brunswick, Middlesex County, New Jersey.
ARTICLE II. STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of Directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders.
Section 2. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by or upon the direction of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or a majority of the authorized directorship of the Board of the Corporation. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting.
Section 3.
A. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Directors calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning, here and hereafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation). If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States Mail, addressed to the stockholder at his/her address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the Corporation as of the record date prescribed in Section 4 of this Article II, with postage thereon prepaid. When any stockholders' meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of any meeting adjourned for less than thirty (30) days or of the business to be transacted thereat, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken. Notice may be waived by the unanimous action of the stockholders.
B. At any time upon the written request of any person or persons entitled to call a special meeting the Secretary of the Corporation shall notify stockholders of the call of the special meeting, to be held at such time and place as the notice shall specify, but in no event shall such notice specify a time more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.
Section 4. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders. Such date in any case shall be not more than sixty (60) days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of stockholders, is to be taken. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.
Section 5. The Officer or Agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each, which list shall be kept on file at the Corporate Headquarters of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 6. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, subject to the limitations contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating that it will be held with those present in person or by proxy constituting a quorum, then except as otherwise required by law, those present in person or by proxy at such adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting.
Section 7. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the stockholder or, in the absence of such
direction, as determined by a majority of the Board. No proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an interest.
Section 8. When ownership stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the Corporation to the contrary, at any meeting of the stockholders any one or more of such stockholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose names shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.
Section 9. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by an officer, agent or proxy as the Bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him/her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his/her name. Shares standing in the name of a person holding a power under a trust instrument may be voted by him/her, either in person or by proxy, but no such person shall be entitled to votes shares held by him/her without a transfer of such shares into his/her name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his/her name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by which such receiver was appointed.
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Corporation, nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of shares entitled to vote the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.
Section 10. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board shall appoint any persons other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If the Board so appoints either one or three such inspectors, that appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the Chairman of the Board or the President.
Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law or regulation, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares of stock and the voting power of each share, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges
and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.
All elections of Directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.
Section 11. Any action required to be taken or that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, if all stockholders consent thereto in writing.
Section 12.
A. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

and the proposal of business to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at
an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation's notice with
respect to such meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or
(c) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation who was a stockholder of
record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in the following
paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the
notice procedures set forth in this section.
C. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the foregoing paragraph, (1) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (2) such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the Delaware General Corporation Law, (3) if the stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, has provided the Corporation with a Solicitation Notice, as that term is defined in subclause (c)(iii) of this paragraph, such stockholder or beneficial owner must, in the case of a proposal, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation's voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the Corporation's voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or beneficial holder to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials the Solicitation Notice and (4) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this section, the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this section. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation
not less than 90 days prior to the date of the Corporation's proxy materials for
the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders ("Proxy Statement Date");
provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than
30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be
so delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the
day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such
stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information
relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for the elections of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation
14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and such person's written consent to serve as a director if elected; (b) as to
any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a
brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at
the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (c) as to
the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such
stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation's books, and of such beneficial
owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned
beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner and
(iii) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a
proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at
least the percentage of the Corporation's voting shares required under
applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or
nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation's voting shares
to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a
"Solicitation Notice").
D. Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the third paragraph of this Section 12 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 85 days prior to the Proxy Statement Date, a stockholder's notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
E. Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defectively proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.
F. For purposes of these Bylaws, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones New Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
G. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 12. Nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be under the direction of its Board. The Board shall consist of not less than five and not more than fifteen directors as the Board may fix by resolution. The Board shall annually elect a Chairman of the Board from among its members who shall, when present, preside at its meetings.
The Directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock, shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders one year thereafter and the term of office of the third class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders two years thereafter, with each Director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of stockholders, commencing with the first annual meeting, Directors elected to succeed those Directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each Director to hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
Section 2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock, and unless the Board otherwise determines, newly created Directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of Directors or any vacancies in the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause may be filled only by a majority vote of the Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, and Directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires and until such Director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized Directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director.

Section 6. A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting.
Section 7. Any action required or permitted to be taken pursuant to authorization voted at a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if, prior or subsequent to that action, all members of the Board or of the committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and those written consents are filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board or committee. The consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote of the Board or committee for all purposes, and may be stated as a unanimous vote of the Board or committee in any certificate or other document filed with the Commissioner.
Section 8. Any or all Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board by means of a conference telephone or any means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting are able to hear each other, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or the By-laws. Any Director so participating in such a meeting shall be deemed to be present at such meeting.
Section 9. A Director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any Corporation matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent is sent by facsimile transmission, overnight courier, personal service, other electronic means or by registered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation within five days after the date he receives a copy of the Minutes of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favor of such action.
Section 10. The Board of Directors may, except as otherwise required by law, exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the unqualified power:
(1) To declare dividends from time to time in accordance with law;
(2) To purchase or otherwise acquire any property, rights or privileges on such terms as it shall determine;

MAGYAR BANK
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
SECTION 1. PLAN IDENTITY.
1.1 NAME. The name of this Plan is "Magyar Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan."
1.2 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to describe the terms and conditions under which contributions made pursuant to the Plan will be credited and paid to the Participants and their Beneficiaries.
1.3 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Effective Date of this Plan is January 1, 2006.
1.4 FISCAL PERIOD. This Plan shall be operated on the basis of a January 1 to December 31 fiscal year for the purpose of keeping the Plan's books and records and distributing or filing any reports or returns required by law.
1.5 SINGLE PLAN FOR ALL EMPLOYERS. This Plan shall be treated as a single plan with respect to all participating Employers for the purpose of crediting contributions and forfeitures and distributing benefits, determining whether there has been any termination of Service, and applying the limitations set forth in Section 5.
1.6 INTERPRETATION OF PROVISIONS. The Employers intend this Plan and the Trust Agreement to be a qualified stock bonus plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 407(d)(6) of ERISA and Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. The Plan is intended to have its assets invested primarily in qualifying employer securities of one or more Employers within the meaning of Section 407(d)(3) of ERISA, and to satisfy any requirement under ERISA or the Code applicable to such a plan.
Accordingly, the Plan and Trust Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with this intent and shall be administered at all times and in all respects in a nondiscriminatory manner.
SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.
The following capitalized words and phrases shall have the meanings specified when used in this Plan and in the Trust Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
"ACCOUNT" means a Participant's interest in the assets accumulated under this Plan as expressed in terms of a separate account balance which is periodically adjusted to reflect his Employer's contributions, the Plan's investment experience, and distributions and forfeitures.
"ACTIVE PARTICIPANT" means a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements under Section 3 and who has at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the current Plan Year. However, a Participant shall not qualify as an Active Participant unless (i) he is in active Service with an Employer as of the last day of the Plan Year, or (ii) he is on a Recognized Absence as of that date, or (iii) his Service terminated during the Plan Year by reason of Disability, death, Early or Normal Retirement.
"BANK" means Magyar Bank and any entity which succeeds to the business of Magyar Bank and adopts this Plan as its own pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Plan.
"BENEFICIARY" means the person or persons who are designated by a Participant to receive benefits payable under the Plan on the Participant's death. In the absence of any designation or if all the designated Beneficiaries shall die before the Participant dies or shall die before all benefits have been paid, the Participant's Beneficiary shall be his surviving Spouse, if any, or his estate if he is not survived by a Spouse. The Committee may rely upon the advice of the Participant's executor or administrator as to the identity of the Participant's Spouse.
"BREAK IN SERVICE" means any Plan Year, or, for the initial eligibility computation period under Section 3.2, the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first day of which an Employee has an Hour of Service, in which an Employee has 500 or fewer Hours of Service. Solely for this purpose, an Employee shall be considered employed for his normal hours of paid employment during a Recognized Absence (said Employee shall not be credited with more than 501 Hours of Service to avoid a Break in Service), unless he does not resume his Service at the end of the Recognized Absence. Further, if an Employee is absent for any period (i) by reason of the Employee's pregnancy, (ii) by reason of the birth of the Employee's child, (iii) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the Employee's adoption of the child, or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately after such birth or placement, the Employee shall be credited with the Hours of Service which would normally have been credited but for such absence, up to a maximum of 501 Hours of Service.
"CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
"COMMITTEE" means the committee responsible for the administration of this Plan in accordance with Section 12.
"COMPANY" means Magyar Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of the Bank, and any successor entity which succeeds to the business of the Company.
"DISABILITY" means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. An individual shall not be considered to be permanently and totally disabled unless he furnishes proof of the existence thereof in such form and manner, and at such times, as the Committee may require.
"EARLY RETIREMENT" means retirement on or after the date a Participant attains age 55 and has completed 10 years of participation in the Plan.
"EFFECTIVE DATE" means January 1, 2006.
"ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE" means an Employee who is employed on the Effective Date, and thereafter, who has both (i) satisfied the age requirement of Section 3.1(b) and (ii) has performed 1,000 Hours of Service in the applicable Eligibility Year, in accordance with Section 3.2.
"EMPLOYEE" means any individual who is or has been employed or self-employed by an Employer. "Employee" also means an individual employed by a leasing organization who, pursuant to an agreement between an Employer and the leasing organization, has performed services for the Employer and any related persons (within the meaning of Section 414(n)(6) of the Code) on a substantially full-time basis for more than one year, if such services are performed under the primary direction or control of the Employer. However, such a "leased employee" shall not be considered an Employee if (i) he participates in a money purchase pension plan sponsored by the leasing organization which provides for immediate participation, immediate full vesting, and an annual contribution of at least 10 percent of the Employee's 415 Compensation, and (ii) leased
employees do not constitute more than 20 percent of the Employer's total work force (including leased employees, but excluding Highly Paid Employees and any other Employees who have not performed services for the Employer on a substantially full-time basis for at least one year).
"EMPLOYER" means the Bank or any affiliate within the purview of section
414(b), (c) or (m) and 415(h) of the Code, any other corporation, partnership,
or proprietorship which adopts this Plan with the Bank's consent pursuant to
Section 13.1, and any entity which succeeds to the business of any Employer and
adopts the Plan pursuant to Section 13.2.
"ENTRY DATE" means the Effective Date of the Plan and each January 1 and July 1 of each Plan Year after the Effective Date.
"ERISA" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-406, as amended).
"415 COMPENSATION"
(a) shall mean wages, as defined in Code Section 3401(a) for purposes of income tax withholding at the source.
(b) Any elective deferral as defined in Code Section
402(g)(3) (any Employer contributions made on behalf of a Participant to
the extent not includible in gross income and any Employer contributions
to purchase an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) under a salary
reduction agreement) and any amount which is contributed or deferred by
the Employer at the election of the Participant and which is not
includible in gross income of the Participant by reason of Code Section
125 (Cafeteria Plan), Code Section 457 or 132(f)(4) shall also be
included in the definition of 415 Compensation.
(c) 415 Compensation in excess of $210,000 (as indexed) shall be disregarded for all Participants. For purposes of this sub-section, the $210,000 limit shall be referred to as the "applicable limit" for the Plan Year in question. The $210,000 limit shall be adjusted for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code, effective for the Plan Year which begins within the applicable calendar year. For purposes of the applicable limit, 415 Compensation shall be prorated over short Plan Years.
"HIGHLY PAID EMPLOYEE" for any Plan Year means an Employee who, during
either that or the immediately preceding Plan Year was at any time a five
percent owner of the Employer (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1)) or, during
the immediately preceding Plan Year, had 415 Compensation exceeding $95,000 and
was among the most highly compensated one-fifth of all Employees (the $95,000
amount is adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as under Code Section
415(d), provided, however, the base period is the calendar quarter ending
September 30, 1996). For these purposes, "the most highly compensated one-fifth
of all Employees" shall be determined by taking into account all individuals
working for all related Employer entities described in the definition of
"Service," but excluding any individual who has not completed six months of
Service, who normally works fewer than 17-1/2 hours per week or in fewer than
six months per year, who has not reached age 21, whose employment is covered by
a collective bargaining agreement, or who is a nonresident alien who receives no
earned income from United States sources. The applicable year for which a
determination is being made is called a "determination year" and the preceding
12-month period is called a look-back year.
"HOURS OF SERVICE" means hours to be credited to an Employee under the following rules:
(a) Each hour for which an Employee is paid or is entitled to be paid for services to an Employer is an Hour of Service.
(b) Each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid or is entitled to be paid for a period of vacation, holidays, illness, disability, lay-off, jury duty, temporary military duty, or leave of absence is an Hour of Service. However, except as otherwise specifically provided, no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited for any single continuous period which an Employee performs no duties. No more than 501 Hours of Service will be credited under this paragraph for any single continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation period). Further, no Hours of Service shall be credited on account of payments made solely under a plan maintained to comply with worker's compensation, unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws, or to reimburse an Employee for medical expenses.
(c) Each hour for which back pay (ignoring any mitigation of damages) is either awarded or agreed to by an Employer is an Hour of Service. However, no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited for any single continuous period during which an Employee would not have performed any duties. The same Hours of Service will not be credited both under paragraph (a) or (b) as the case may be, and under this paragraph (c). These hours will be credited to the employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather than the computation period in which the award agreement or payment is made.
(d) Hours of Service shall be credited in any one period only under one of the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); an Employee may not get double credit for the same period.
(e) If an Employer finds it impractical to count the actual Hours of Service for any class or group of non-hourly Employees, each Employee in that class or group shall be credited with 45 Hours of Service for each weekly pay period in which he has at least one Hour of Service. However, an Employee shall be credited only for his normal working hours during a paid absence.
(f) Hours of Service to be credited on account of a payment to an Employee (including back pay) shall be recorded in the period of Service for which the payment was made. If the period overlaps two or more Plan Years, the Hours of Service credit shall be allocated in proportion to the respective portions of the period included in the several Plan Years. However, in the case of periods of 31 days or less, the Administrator may apply a uniform policy of crediting the Hours of Service to either the first Plan Year or the second.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.
3.1 INITIAL ELIGIBILITY. Each Employee shall initially enter the Plan on the Effective Date if he or she was an Employee on the Effective Date. Any person who subsequently becomes an Employee shall enter the Plan as of the Entry Date coincident with or next following the later of the following dates:
(a) the last day of the Eligible Employee's first Eligibility Year, and
(b) the Eligible Employee's 21st birthday. However, if an Eligible Employee is not in active Service with an Employer on the date he would otherwise first enter the Plan, his entry shall be deferred until the next day he is in Service.
3.2 DEFINITION OF ELIGIBILITY YEAR. "Eligibility Year" means an applicable eligibility period (as defined below) in which the Eligible Employee has completed 1,000 Hours of Service for the Employer. For this purpose:
(a) an Eligible Employee's first "eligibility period" is the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first day on which he has an Hour of Service, and
(b) his subsequent eligibility periods will be 12-consecutive month periods beginning on each January 1 after that first day of Service.
3.3 TERMINATED EMPLOYEES. No Employee shall have any interest or rights under this Plan if he is never in active Service with an Employer on or after the Effective Date.
3.4 CERTAIN EMPLOYEES INELIGIBLE.
(a) No Employee shall participate in the Plan while his Service is covered by a collective bargaining agreement between an Employer and the Employee's collective bargaining representative if (i) retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith bargaining between the Employer and the representative and (ii) the collective bargaining agreement does not provide for the Employee's participation in the Plan.
(b) Leased Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
(c) Employees who are nonresident aliens with no earned income (within the meaning of Code Section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3)).
(d) An Eligible Employee may elect not to participate in the Plan, provided, however, such election is made solely to meet the requirements of Code Section 409(n). For an election to be effective for a particular Plan Year, the Eligible Employee or Participant must file the election in writing with the Plan Administrator no later than the last day of the Plan Year for which the election is to be effective. The Employer may not make a contribution under the Plan for the Eligible Employee or for the Participant for the Plan Year for which the election is effective, nor for any succeeding Plan Year, unless the Eligible Employee or Participant re-elects to participate in the Plan. The Eligible Employee or Participant may elect again not to participate, but not earlier than the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the re-election was first effective.
3.5 PARTICIPATION AND REPARTICIPATION. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements, an Eligible Employee shall participate in the Plan during each period of his Service from the date on which he first becomes eligible until his termination. For this purpose, an Eligible Employee who returns before five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service who previously satisfied the initial eligibility requirements or who returns after five (5) consecutive one year Breaks in Service with a vested Account balance in the Plan shall re-enter the Plan as of the date of his return to Service with an Employer.
3.6 OMISSION OF ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE. If, in any Plan Year, any Eligible Employee who should be included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously omitted and discovery of such omission is not made until after a contribution by his Employer for the year has been made, the Employer shall make a subsequent contribution with respect to the omitted Eligible Employee in the amount which the said Employer would have contributed regardless of whether or not it is deductible in whole or in part in any taxable year under applicable provisions of the Code.
3.7 INCLUSION OF INELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE. If, in any fiscal year, any person who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously included and discovery of such incorrect inclusion is not made until after a contribution for the year has been made, the Employer shall not be entitled to recover the
contribution made with respect to the ineligible person regardless of whether or not a deduction is allowable with respect to such contribution. In such event, the amount contributed with respect to the ineligible person shall constitute a forfeiture for the fiscal year in which the discovery is made.
SECTION 4. CONTRIBUTIONS AND CREDITS.
4.1 DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer shall from time to time contribute, with respect to a Plan Year, such amounts as it may determine from time to time. The Employer shall have no obligation to contribute any amount under this Plan except as so determined in its sole discretion. The Employer's contributions and available forfeitures for a Plan Year shall be credited as of the last day of the year to the Accounts of the Active Participants in proportion to their amounts of 415 Compensation earned during that portion of the Plan Year that such persons are Participants in the Plan.
4.2 CONTRIBUTIONS FOR STOCK OBLIGATIONS. If the Trustee, upon instructions from the Committee, incurs any Stock Obligation upon the purchase of Stock, the Employer may contribute for each Plan Year an amount sufficient to cover all payments of principal and interest as they come due under the terms of the Stock Obligation. If there is more than one Stock Obligation, the Employer shall designate the one to which any contribution is to be applied. Investment earnings realized on Employer contributions and any dividends paid by the Employer on Stock held in the Unallocated Stock Account, shall be applied to the Stock Obligation related to that Stock, subject to Section 7.2.
In each Plan Year in which Employer contributions, earnings on contributions, or dividends on unallocated Stock are used as payments under a Stock Obligation, a certain number of shares of the Stock acquired with that Stock Obligation which is then held in the Unallocated Stock Fund shall be released for allocation among the Participants. The number of shares released shall bear the same ratio to the total number of those shares then held in the Unallocated Stock Fund (prior to the release) as (i) the principal and interest payments made on the Stock Obligation in the current Plan Year bears to (ii) the sum of (i) above, and the remaining principal and interest payments required (or projected to be required on the basis of the interest rate in effect at the end of the Plan Year) to satisfy the Stock Obligation.
At the direction of the Committee, the current and projected payments of interest under a Stock Obligation may be ignored in calculating the number of shares to be released in each year if (i) the Stock Obligation provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such amounts for 10 years, (ii) the interest included in any payment is ignored only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables, and (iii) the term of the Stock Obligation, by reason of renewal, extension, or refinancing, has not exceeded 10 years from the original acquisition of the Stock.
4.3 CONDITIONS AS TO CONTRIBUTIONS. Employers' contributions shall
in all events be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.
Contributions may be made in the form of cash, or securities and other property
to the extent permissible under ERISA, including Stock, and shall be held by the
Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement. In addition to the provisions of
Section 13.3 for the return of an Employer's contributions in connection with a
failure of the Plan to qualify initially under the Code, any amount contributed
by an Employer due to a good faith mistake of fact, or based upon a good faith
but erroneous determination of its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code,
shall be returned to the Employer within one year after the date on which the
contribution was originally made, or within one year after its nondeductibility
has been finally determined. However, the amount to be returned shall be reduced
to take account of any adverse investment experience within the Trust Fund in
order that the balance credited to each Participant's Account is not less that
it would have been if the contribution had never been made.
4.4 ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS. This Plan shall not accept a direct rollover or rollover contribution of an "eligible rollover distribution" as such term is defined in Section 10.9-1 of the Plan.
SECTION 5. LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS.
5.1 LIMITATION ON ANNUAL ADDITIONS. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, allocation of Employer contributions for any Plan Year shall be subject to the following:
5.1-1 If allocation of Employer contributions in accordance with Section 4.1 will result in an allocation of more than one-third the total contributions for a Plan Year to the Accounts of Highly Paid Employees, then allocation of such amount shall be adjusted so that such excess will not occur.
5.1-2 After adjustment, if any, required by the preceding
paragraph, the annual additions during any Plan Year to any
Participant's Account under this and any other defined contribution
plans maintained by the Employer or an affiliate (within the purview of
Section 414(b), (c) and (m) and Section 415(h) of the Code, which
affiliate shall be deemed the Employer for this purpose) shall not
exceed the lesser of $40,000 (or such other dollar amount which results
from cost-of-living adjustments under Section 415(d) of the Code) (the
"dollar limitation") or 100 percent of the Participant's 415
Compensation for such limitation year (the "percentage limitation"). The
percentage limitation shall not apply to any contribution for medical
benefits after separation from service (within the meaning of Section
401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as
an annual addition. If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a
reasonable error in estimating a Participant's annual compensation, a
reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within
the meaning of Code Section 402(g)(3)) that may be made with respect to
any individual under the limits of Code Section 415, or under other
limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner of the Internal
Revenue Service finds justify the availability of the rules set forth in
this paragraph, the annual additions under the terms of the Plan for a
particular Participant would cause the limitations of Code Section 415
applicable to that Participant for the limitation year to be exceeded,
the excess amounts shall not be deemed annual additions in that
limitation year if they are treated in accordance with any one of the
following:
(i) Any excess amount at the end of the Plan Year that cannot be allocated to the Participant's Account shall be reallocated to the remaining Participants who are eligible for an allocation of Employer contributions for the Plan Year. The reallocation shall be made in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Plan as if the Participant whose Account otherwise would receive the excess amount is not eligible for an allocation of Employer contributions.
(ii) If the allocation or reallocation of the excess amounts causes the limitations of Code section 415 to be exceeded with respect to each Participant for the limitation year, then the excess amount will be held unallocated in a suspense account. The suspense account will be applied to reduce future Employer contributions for all remaining Participants in the next limitation year and each succeeding limitation year if necessary.
(iii) If a suspense account is in existence at any time during a limitation year, it will not participate in any allocation of investment gains and losses. All amounts held in suspense accounts must be allocated to Participants' Accounts before any contributions may be made to the Plan for the limitation year.
(iv) If a suspense account exists at the time of Plan termination, amounts held in the suspense account that cannot be allocated shall revert to the Employer.
5.1-3 For purposes of this Section 5.1, the "annual addition"
to a Participant's Accounts means the sum of (i) Employer contributions,
(ii) Employee contributions, if any, and (iii) forfeitures. Annual
additions to a defined contribution plan also include amounts allocated,
after March 31, 1984, to an individual medical account, as defined in
Section 415(l)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is part of a
pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer, amounts derived from
contributions paid or accrued after December 31, 1985, in taxable years
ending after such date, which are attributable to post-retirement
medical benefits allocated to the separate account of a Key Employee
under a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Section 419A(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code, maintained by the Employer. For these purposes,
annual additions to a defined contribution plan shall not include the
allocation of the excess amounts remaining in the Unallocated Stock Fund
subsequent to a sale of stock from such fund in accordance with a
transaction described in Section 8.1 of the Plan.
5.1-4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no more than one-third of the Employer contributions to the Plan for a year which are deductible under Section 404(a)(9) of the Code are allocated to Highly Paid Employees (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Internal Revenue Code), the limitations imposed herein shall not apply to:
(i) forfeitures of Employer securities (within the meaning of Section 409 of the Code) under the Plan if such securities were acquired with the proceeds of a loan described in Section 404(a)(9)(A) of the Code), or
(ii) Employer contributions to the Plan which are deductible under Section 404(a)(9)(B) and charged against a Participant's Account.
5.1-5 If the Employer contributes amounts, on behalf of Eligible Employees covered by this Plan, to other "defined contribution plans" as defined in Section 3(34) of ERISA, the limitation on annual additions provided in this Section shall be applied to annual additions in the aggregate to this Plan and to such other plans. Reduction of annual additions, where required, shall be accomplished first by reductions under such other plan pursuant to the directions of the named fiduciary for administration of such other plans or under priorities, if any, established under the terms of such other plans and then by allocating any remaining excess for this Plan in the manner and priority set out above with respect to this Plan.
5.1-6 A limitation year shall mean each 12 consecutive month period beginning each January 1.
5.2 EFFECT OF LIMITATIONS. The Committee shall take whatever action may be necessary from time to time to assure compliance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1. Specifically, the Committee shall see that each Employer restrict its contributions for any Plan Year to an amount which, taking into account the amount of available forfeitures, may be completely allocated to the Participants consistent with those limitations. Where the limitations would otherwise be exceeded by any Participant, further allocations to the Participant shall be curtailed to the extent necessary to satisfy the limitations. Where an excessive amount is contributed on account of a mistake as to one or more Participants' compensation, or there is an amount of forfeitures which may not be credited in the Plan Year in which it becomes available, the amount shall be corrected in accordance with Section 5.1-2 of the Plan. If it is determined at any time that the Committee and/or Trustee has erred in accepting and allocating any contributions or forfeitures under this Plan, or in allocating net gain or loss pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3, then the Committee, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, shall determine the manner in which such error shall be corrected and shall
promptly advise the Trustee in writing of such error and of the method for correcting such error. The Accounts of any or all Participants may be revised, if necessary, in order to correct such error.
5.3 LIMITATIONS AS TO CERTAIN PARTICIPANTS. Aside from the
limitations set forth in Section 5.1, if the Plan acquires any Stock in a
transaction as to which a selling shareholder or the estate of a deceased
shareholder is claiming the benefit of Section 1042 of the Code, the Committee
shall see that none of such Stock, and no other assets in lieu of such Stock,
are allocated to the Accounts of certain Participants in order to comply with
Section 409(n) of the Code.
This restriction shall apply at all times to a Participant who owns (taking into account the attribution rules under Section 318(a) of the Code, without regard to the exception for employee plan trusts in Section 318(a)(2)(B)(i) more than 25 percent of any class of stock of a corporation which issued the Stock acquired by the Plan, or another corporation within the same controlled group, as defined in Section 409(l)(4) of the Code (any such class of stock hereafter called a "Related Class"). For this purpose, a Participant who owns more than 25 percent of any Related Class at any time within the one year preceding the Plan's purchase of the Stock shall be subject to the restriction as to all allocations of the Stock, but any other Participant shall be subject to the restriction only as to allocations which occur at a time when he owns more than 25 percent of any Related Class.
Further, this restriction shall apply to the selling shareholder claiming the benefit of Section 1042 and any other Participant who is related to such a shareholder within the meaning of Section 267(b) of the Code, during the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the later of (1) the date that is ten years after the date of sale, or (2) the date of the Plan allocation attributable to the final payment of acquisition indebtedness incurred in connection with the sale.
This restriction shall not apply to any Participant who is a lineal descendant of a selling shareholder if the aggregate amounts allocated under the Plan for the benefit of all such descendants do not exceed five percent of the Stock acquired from the shareholder.
5.4 ERRONEOUS ALLOCATIONS. No Participant shall be entitled to any annual additions or other allocations to his Account in excess of those permitted under Section 5. If it is determined at any time that the administrator and/or Trustee have erred in accepting and allocating any contributions or forfeitures under this Plan, or in allocating investment adjustments, or in excluding or including any person as a Participant, then the administrator, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, shall determine the manner in which such error shall be corrected and shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of such error and of the method for correcting such error. The Accounts of any or all Participants may be revised, if necessary, in order to correct such error.
SECTION 6. TRUST FUND AND ITS INVESTMENT.
6.1 CREATION OF TRUST FUND. All amounts received under the Plan from Employers and investments shall be held as the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of this Plan and of the Trust Agreement between the Bank and the Trustee. The benefits described in this Plan shall be payable only from the assets of the Trust Fund, and none of the Bank, any other Employer, its board of directors or trustees, its stockholders, its officers, its employees, the Committee, and the Trustee shall be liable for payment of any benefit under this Plan except from the Trust Fund.
6.2 STOCK FUND AND INVESTMENT FUND. The Trust Fund held by the Trustee shall be divided into the Stock Fund, consisting entirely of Stock, and the Investment Fund, consisting of all assets of the Trust other than Stock. The Trustee shall have no investment responsibility for the Stock Fund, but shall accept any
Employer contributions made in the form of Stock, and shall acquire, sell, exchange, distribute, and otherwise deal with and dispose of Stock in accordance with the instructions of the Committee. The Trustee shall have full responsibility for the investment of the Investment Fund, except to the extent such responsibility may be delegated from time to time to one or more investment managers pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Trust Agreement, or to the extent the Committee directs the Trustee to purchase Stock with the assets in the Investment Fund.
6.3 ACQUISITION OF STOCK. From time to time the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct the Trustee to acquire Stock from the issuing Employer or from shareholders, including shareholders who are or have been Employees, Participants, or fiduciaries with respect to the Plan. The Trustee shall pay for such Stock no more than its fair market value, which shall be determined conclusively by the Committee pursuant to Section 12.4. The Committee may direct the Trustee to finance the acquisition of Stock by incurring or assuming indebtedness to the seller or another party which indebtedness shall be called a "Stock Obligation." The term "Stock Obligation" shall refer to a loan made to the Plan by a disqualified person within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, or a loan to the Plan which is guaranteed by a disqualified person. A Stock Obligation includes a direct loan of cash, a purchase-money transaction, and an assumption of an obligation of a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code ("ESOP"). For these purposes, the term "guarantee" shall include an unsecured guarantee and the use of assets of a disqualified person as collateral for a loan, even though the use of assets may not be a guarantee under applicable state law. An amendment of a Stock Obligation in order to qualify as an "exempt loan" is not a refinancing of the Stock Obligation or the making of another Stock Obligation. The term "exempt loan" refers to a loan that satisfies the provisions of this paragraph. A "non-exempt loan" fails to satisfy this paragraph. Any Stock Obligation shall be subject to the following conditions and limitations:
6.3-1 A Stock Obligation shall be for a specific term, shall not be payable on demand except in the event of default, and shall bear a reasonable rate of interest.
6.3-2 A Stock Obligation may, but need not, be secured by a collateral pledge of either the Stock acquired in exchange for the Stock Obligation, or the Stock previously pledged in connection with a prior Stock Obligation which is being repaid with the proceeds of the current Stock Obligation. No other assets of the Plan and Trust may be used as collateral for a Stock Obligation, and no creditor under a Stock Obligation shall have any right or recourse to any Plan and Trust assets other than Stock remaining subject to a collateral pledge.
6.3-3 Any pledge of Stock to secure a Stock Obligation must provide for the release of pledged Stock in connection with payments on the Stock obligations in the ratio prescribed in Section 4.2.
6.3-4 Repayments of principal and interest on any Stock Obligation shall be made by the Trustee only from Employer cash contributions designated for such payments, from earnings on such contributions, and from cash dividends received on Stock, in the last case, however, subject to the further requirements of Section 7.2.
6.3-5 In the event of default of a Stock Obligation, the value of Plan assets transferred in satisfaction of the Stock Obligation must not exceed the amount of the default. If the lender is a disqualified person within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, a Stock Obligation must provide for a transfer of Plan assets upon default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of said Stock Obligation. For purposes of this paragraph, the making of a guarantee does not make a person a lender.
6.4 PARTICIPANTS' OPTION TO DIVERSIFY. The Committee shall provide for a procedure under which each Participant may, during the qualified election period, elect to "diversify" a portion of the Employer Stock allocated to his Account, as provided in Section 401(a)(28)(B) of the Code. An election to diversify must be made on the prescribed form and filed with the Committee within the period specified herein. For each of the first five (5) Plan years in the qualified election period, the Participant may elect to diversify an amount which does not exceed 25% of the number of shares allocated to his Account since the inception of the Plan, less all shares with respect to which an election under this Section has already been made. For the last year of the qualified election period, the Participant may elect to have up to 50 percent of the value of his Account committed to other investments, less all shares with respect to which an election under this Section has already been made. The term "qualified election period" shall mean the six (6) Plan Year period beginning with the first Plan Year in which a Participant has both attained age 55 and completed 10 years of participation in the Plan. A Participant's election to diversify his Account may be made within each year of the qualified election period and shall continue for the 90-day period immediately following the last day of each year in the qualified election period. Once a Participant makes such election, the Plan must complete diversification in accordance with such election within 90 days after the end of the period during which the election could be made for the Plan Year. In the discretion of the Committee, the Plan may satisfy the diversification requirement by any of the following methods:
6.4-1 The Plan may distribute all or part of the amount subject to the diversification election.
6.4-2 The Plan may offer the Participant at least three other
distinct investment options, if available under the Plan. The other
investment options shall satisfy the requirements of Regulations under
Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended ("ERISA").
6.4-3 The Plan may transfer the portion of the Participant's
Account subject to the diversification election to another qualified
defined contribution plan of the Employer that offers at least three
investment options satisfying the requirements of the Regulations under
Section 404(c) of ERISA.
SECTION 7. VOTING RIGHTS AND DIVIDENDS ON STOCK.
7.1 VOTING AND TENDERING OF STOCK. The Trustee generally shall vote all shares of Stock held under the Plan in accordance with the written instructions of the Committee. However, if any Employer has registration-type class of securities within the meaning of Section 409(e)(4) of the Code, or if a matter submitted to the holders of the Stock involves a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, or sale of substantially all assets of an entity, then (i) the shares of Stock which have been allocated to Participants' Accounts shall be voted by the Trustee in accordance with the Participants' written instructions, and (ii) the Trustee shall vote any unallocated Stock and allocated Stock for which it has received no voting instructions in the same proportions as it votes the allocated Stock for which it has received instructions from Participants; provided, however, that if an exempt loan, as defined in Section 4975(d) of the Code, is outstanding and the Plan is in default on such exempt loan, as default is defined in the loan documents, then to the extent that such loan documents require the lender to exercise voting rights with respect to the unallocated shares, the loan documents will prevail. In the event no shares of Stock have been allocated to Participants' Accounts at the time Stock is to be voted and any exempt loan which may be outstanding is not in default, each Participant shall be deemed to have one share of Stock allocated to his or her Account for the sole purpose of providing the Trustee with voting instructions.
Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, all unallocated shares of Stock must be voted by the Trustee in a manner determined by the Trustee to be for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and
Beneficiaries. Whenever such voting rights are to be exercised, the Employers shall provide the Trustee, in a timely manner, with the same notices and other materials as are provided to other holders of the Stock, which the Trustee shall distribute to the Participants. The Participants shall be provided with adequate opportunity to deliver their instructions to the Trustee regarding the voting of Stock allocated to their Accounts. The instructions of the Participants' with respect to the voting of allocated shares hereunder shall be confidential.
7.1-1 In the event of a tender offer, Stock shall be tendered by the Trustee in the same manner as set forth above with respect to the voting of Stock. Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, Stock must be tendered by the Trustee in a manner determined by the Trustee to be for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and Beneficiaries.
7.2 DIVIDENDS ON STOCK. Dividends on Stock which are received by the Trustee in the form of additional Stock shall be retained in the Stock Fund, and shall be allocated among the Participant's Accounts and the Unallocated Stock Fund in accordance with their holdings of the Stock on which the dividends have been paid. Dividends on Stock credited to Participants' Accounts which are received by the Trustee in the form of cash shall, at the direction of the Employer paying the dividends, either (i) be credited to the Accounts in accordance with Section 8.3 and invested as part of the Investment Fund, (ii) be distributed immediately to the Participants in proportion with the Participants' Stock Fund Account balance (iii) be distributed to the Participants within 90 days of the close of the Plan Year in which paid in proportion with the Participants' Stock Fund Account balance or (iv) be used to make payments on the Stock Obligation. In addition to the four alternatives set forth above, the Employer may grant Participants a fifth alternative which would give Participants the right either: (A) to receive cash dividends paid on shares of Stock credited to such Participants' ESOP Stock Fund Accounts in accordance with alternative "(ii)" or "(iii)" above (the decision whether such distribution would be made in accordance with alternative "(ii)" or "(iii)" would be made by the Employer or could be provided to the Participant, in the Employer's sole discretion), or (B) to leave the cash dividends in the Plan to be credited to the ESOP Investment Fund Account in accordance with Section 8.4 and invested in accordance with Section 6.3. Dividends on which such election may be made will be fully vested in the Participant. Accordingly, the Employer may elect to offer such fifth alternative only to Participants who are fully vested in their Accounts. Such dividends on which this fifth option is offered shall be "applicable dividends" for purposes of Code Section 404(k)(2)(A). If dividends on Stock allocated to a Participant's Account are used to repay the Stock Obligation, Stock with a fair market value equal to the dividends so used must be allocated to such Participant's Account in lieu of the dividends. Dividends on Stock held in the Unallocated Stock Fund which are received by the Trustee in the form of cash shall be allocated to Participants' Investment Fund Accounts (pro rata based on the Participant's Account balance in relation to all Participants' Account balances) and shall be applied as soon as practicable to payments of principal and interest under the Stock Obligation incurred with the purchase of the Stock.
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNTS.
8.1 ALLOCATIONS
(a) ELIGIBILITY. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, as of the last day of each Plan Year, the Employer's contributions for that year, the shares of Stock that are released from the Unallocated Stock Fund during that year, and the forfeitures arising under the Plan during that year shall be allocated among the Accounts of Active Participants who are employed by the Employer on the last day of that Plan Year or, if not employed on the last day of the Plan Year have terminated during the Plan Year due to Disability, death, Early Retirement or Normal Retirement.
(b) ALLOCATION FORMULA. The portion of the Company's contribution for any Plan Year that is not used to pay down a Stock Obligation, the shares of Stock released from the suspense account during that
year by reason of Employer contributions, and forfeitures arising under the Plan during that year shall be allocated to the eligible Participants in the proportion that each Participant's 415 Compensation for that year bears to all Participants' Compensation for that year. For these purposes, only 415 Compensation earned during that portion of the Plan Year that such person is a Participant is committed.
8.2 CHARGES TO ACCOUNTS When a Valuation Date occurs, any distributions made to or on behalf of any Participant or Beneficiary since the last preceding Valuation Date shall be charged to the proper Accounts maintained for that Participant or Beneficiary.
8.3 STOCK FUND ACCOUNT Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and
8.1, as of the last day of each Plan Year, the Trustee shall credit to each
Participant's Stock Fund Account: (a) the Participant's allocable share of Stock
purchased by the Trustee or contributed by the Employer to the Trust Fund for
that year; (b) the Participant's allocable share of the Stock that is released
from the Unallocated Stock Fund for that year; (c) the Participant's allocable
share of any forfeitures of Stock arising under the Plan during that year; and
(d) any stock dividends declared and paid during that year on Stock credited to
the Participant's Stock Fund Account.
If, in any Plan Year during which an outstanding Stock Obligation exists, the Employer directs the Trustee to Sell or otherwise dispose of a number of Shares of Stock in the Unallocated Stock Fund sufficient to repay, in its entirety, the Stock Obligations, and following such repayment, there remains Stock or other assets in the Unallocated Stock Fund, such Stock or other assets shall be allocated as of the last day of the Plan Year in which the repayment occurred as earnings of the Plan in accordance with Section 8.5.
8.4 INVESTMENT FUND ACCOUNT. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8.1 as of the last day of each Plan Year, the Trustee shall credit to each Participant's Investment Fund Account: (a) the Participant's allocable share of any contribution for that year made by the Employer in cash or in property other than Stock that is not used by the Trustee to purchase Employer Stock or to make payments due under a Stock Obligation; (b) the Participant's allocable share of any forfeitures from the Investment Fund Accounts of other Participants arising under the Plan during that year; (c) any cash dividends paid during that year on Stock credited to the Participant's Stock Fund Account, other than dividends which are paid directly to the Participant and other than dividends which are used to repay Stock Obligation; and (d) the share of the net income or loss of the Trust Fund properly allocable to that Participant's Investment Fund Account, as provided in Section 8.5.
8.5 ADJUSTMENT TO VALUE OF TRUST FUND As of the last day of each Plan Year, the Trustee shall determine: (i) the net worth of that portion of the Trust Fund which consists of properties other than Stock (the "Investment Fund"); and (ii) the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Investment Fund since the last day of the preceding Plan Year. The net worth of the Investment Fund shall be the fair market value of all properties held by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement other than Stock, net of liabilities other than liabilities to Participants and their beneficiaries. The Trustee shall allocate to the Investment Fund Account of each Participant that percentage of the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Investment Fund equal to the ratio which the balances credited to the Participant's Investment Fund Account bear to the total amount credited to all Participants' Investments Fund Accounts. This allocation shall be made after application of Section 7-2, but before application of Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 5.1.
8.6 PARTICIPANT STATEMENTS Each Plan Year, the Trustee will provide each Participant with a statement of his or her Account balances as of the last day of the Plan Year.
SECTION 9. VESTING OF PARTICIPANTS' INTERESTS.
9.1 DEFERRED VESTING IN ACCOUNTS. A Participant's vested interest in his Account shall be based on his Vesting Years in accordance with the following table, subject to the balance of this Section 9:
Vesting Years Percentage of Interest Vested ------------- ----------------------------- Fewer than 1 0% 1 20% 2 40% 3 60% 4 80% 5 or more 100% |
9.2 COMPUTATION OF VESTING YEARS. For purposes of this Plan, a "Vesting Year" means generally a Plan Year in which an Eligible Employee has at least 1,000 Hours of Service, beginning with the first Plan Year in which the Eligible Employee has completed an Hour of Service with the Employer, and including Service with other Employers as provided in the definition of "Service." A Participant's Vesting Years shall be computed subject to the following conditions and qualifications:
9.2-1 A Participant's Vesting Years shall not include any Service prior to the date on which an Eligible Employee attains age 18.
9.2-2 A Participant's vested interest in his Account accumulated before five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service shall be determined without regard to any Service after such five consecutive Breaks in Service. Further, if a Participant has five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service before his interest in his Account has become vested to some extent, pre-Break years of Service shall not be required to be taken into account for purposes of determining his post-Break vested percentage.
9.2-3 In the case of a Participant who has 5 or more consecutive 1-year Breaks in Service, the Participant's pre-Break Service will count in vesting of the Employer-derived post-break accrued benefit only if either:
(i) such Participant has any nonforfeitable interest in the accrued benefit attributable to Employer contributions at the time of separation from Service, or
(ii) upon returning to Service the number of consecutive 1-year Breaks in Service is less than the number of years of Service.
9.2-4 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective January 1, 1998, calculation of service for determining Vesting Years with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Code.
9.2-5 If any amendment changes the vesting schedule, including an automatic change to or from a top-heavy vesting schedule, any Participant with three (3) or more Vesting Years may, by filing a written request with the Employer, elect to have his vested percentage computed under the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment. The election period must begin not later than the later of sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted, the amendment becomes effective, or the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer or the Committee.
9.3 FULL VESTING UPON CERTAIN EVENTS.
9.3-1 Notwithstanding Section 9.1, a Participant's interest in his Account shall fully vest on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date. The Participant's interest shall also fully vest in the event that his Service is terminated by Early Retirement, Disability or by death.
9.3-2 The Participant's interest in his Account shall also fully vest in the event of a "Change in Control" of the Bank or the Company. For these purposes, "Change in Control" shall mean a change in control of a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported in response to Item 5.01 of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "BHCA"), as in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or (iii) without limitation such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (a) any "person" (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner"(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of Company's outstanding securities except for any securities purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan or trust; or (b) individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, PROVIDED that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (c) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Bank or the Company or similar transaction in which the Bank or Company is not the surviving institution occurs; or (d) a proxy statement soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company, by someone other than the current management of the Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company or similar transaction with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to the Plan are to be exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Company; or (e) a tender offer is made for 25% or more of the voting securities of the Company and the shareholders owning beneficially or of record 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company have tendered or offered to sell their shares pursuant to such tender offer and such tendered shares have been accepted by the tender offeror.
9.3-3 Upon a Change in Control described in 9.3-2, the Plan shall be terminated and the Plan Administrator shall direct the Trustee to sell a sufficient amount of Stock from the Unallocated Stock Fund to repay any outstanding Stock Obligation in full. The proceeds of such sale shall be used to repay such Stock Obligation. After repayment of the Stock Obligation, all remaining shares in the Unallocated Stock Fund (or the proceeds thereof, if applicable) shall be deemed to be earnings and shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.1.
9.4 FULL VESTING UPON PLAN TERMINATION. Notwithstanding Section 9.1, a Participant's interest in his Account shall fully vest upon termination of this Plan or upon the permanent and complete discontinuance of contributions by his Employer. In the event of a partial termination, the interest of each affected Participant shall fully vest with respect to that part of the Plan which is terminated.
9.5 FORFEITURE, REPAYMENT, AND RESTORAL. If a Participant's Service terminates before his interest in his Account is fully vested, that portion which has not vested shall be forfeited if he either (i) receives a distribution of his entire vested interest pursuant to Section 10.1, or (ii) incurs a one-year Break in
Service. If a Participant's Service terminates prior to having any portion of his Account become vested, such Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his vested interest immediately upon his termination of Service.
If a Participant who has suffered a forfeiture of the nonvested portion of his Account returns to Service before he has five (5) consecutive Breaks in Service, the nonvested portion shall be restored, provided that, if the Participant had received a distribution of his vested Account balance, the amount distributed shall be repaid prior to such restoral. The Participant may repay such amount at any time within five years after he has returned to Service. The amount repaid shall be credited to his Account at the time it is repaid; an additional amount equal to that portion of his Account which was previously forfeited shall be restored to his Account at the same time from other Employees' forfeitures and, if such forfeitures are insufficient, from a special contribution by his Employer for that year. If the Participant did not receive a distribution of his vested Account balance, any forfeiture restored shall include earnings that would have been credited to the Account but for the forfeiture. A Participant who was deemed to have received a distribution of his vested interest in the Plan shall have his Account restored as of the first day on which he performs an Hour of Service after his return.
9.6 ACCOUNTING FOR FORFEITURES. If a portion of a Participant's
Account is forfeited, Stock allocated to said Participant's Account shall be
forfeited only after other assets are forfeited. If interests in more than one
class of Stock have been allocated to a Participant's Account, the Participant
must be treated as forfeiting the same proportion of each class of Stock. A
forfeiture shall be charged to the Participant's Account as of the first day of
the first Valuation Period in which the forfeiture becomes certain pursuant to
Section 9.5. Except as otherwise provided in that Section, a forfeiture shall be
added to the contributions of the terminated Participant's Employer which are to
be credited to other Participants pursuant to Section 4.1 as of the last day of
the Plan Year in which the forfeiture becomes certain.
9.7 VESTING AND NONFORFEITABILITY. A Participant's interest in his Account which has become vested shall be nonforfeitable for any reason.
SECTION 10. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS.
10.1 BENEFITS FOR PARTICIPANTS. For a Participant whose Service ends for any reason, distribution will be made to or for the benefit of the Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death, his Beneficiary, by either, or a combination of the following methods:
10.1-1 By payment in a lump sum, in accordance with Section 10.2; or 10.1-2 By payment in a series of substantially equal annual |
installments over a period not to exceed five (5) years, provided the maximum period over which the distribution of a Participant's Account may be made shall be extended by 1 year, up to five (5) additional years, for each $170,000 (or fraction thereof) by which such Participant's Account balance exceeds $850,000 (the aforementioned figures are subject to cost-of-living adjustments prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to Section 409(o)(2) of the Code).
The Participant shall elect the manner in which his vested Account balance will be distributed to him. If a Participant so desires, he may direct how his benefits are to be paid to his Beneficiary. If a deceased Participant did not file a direction with the Committee, the Participant's benefits shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in a lump sum. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if a Participant's vested Account balance does not exceed $1,000 and the Participant fails to return his distribution election form, the Plan Administrator shall distribute the vested portion of his Account balance to the Participant in a lump sum, in
cash, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the end of
the Plan Year in which employment terminates. If the terminated Participant's
vested Account balance exceeds $1,000, but is no greater than 5,000, and the
Participant fails to consent to the distribution, then the Plan Administrator
shall liquidate the Participant's Stock Fund Account and pay the Participant's
vested Account balance, in cash, in a direct rollover to an individual
retirement plan designated by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Code
Section 401(a)(31)(B) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If the value
of a Participant's vested Account balance exceeds $5,000, then his benefits
shall not be paid prior to the later of the time he has attained Normal
Retirement or age 62 unless he elects an early payment date in a written
election filed with the Committee. A Participant may modify such an election at
any time, provided any new benefit payment date is at least 30 days after a
modified election is delivered to the Committee. Failure of a Participant to
consent to a distribution prior to the later of Normal Retirement or age 62
shall be deemed to be an election to defer commencement of payment of any
benefit under this section.
10.2 TIME FOR DISTRIBUTION.
10.2-1 If the Participant and, if applicable, with the consent of the Participant's spouse, elects the distribution of the Participant's Account balance in the Plan, distribution shall commence as soon as practicable following his termination of Service, but no later than one year after the close of the Plan Year:
(i) in which the Participant separates from service by reason of attainment of Normal Retirement Age under the Plan, Disability, or death; or
(ii) which is the fifth Plan Year following the year in which the Participant resigns or is dismissed, unless he is reemployed before such date.
10.2-2 Unless the Participant elects otherwise, the distribution of the balance of a Participant's Account shall commence not later than the 60th day after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which -
(i) the Participant attains the age of 65;
(ii) occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or
(iii) the Participant terminates his Service with the Employer.
10.2-3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (1) with respect to a 5-percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416), distribution of a Participant's Account shall commence (whether or not he remains in the employ of the Employer) not later than the April 1 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2, and (2) with respect to all other Participants, payment of a Participant's benefit will commence not later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70 1/2, or, if later, the year in which the Participant retires. A Participant's benefit from that portion of his Account committed to the Investment Fund shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent Valuation Date before the date of payment.
10.2-4 Distribution of a Participant's Account balance after his death shall comply with the following requirements:
(i) If a Participant dies before his distributions have commenced, distribution of his Account to his Beneficiary shall commence not later than one year after the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant died; however, if the Participant's Beneficiary is his surviving Spouse, distributions may commence on the date on which the Participant would have attained age 70 1/2. In either case, distributions shall be completed within five years after they commence.
(ii) If the Participant dies after distribution has commenced
pursuant to Section 10.1.2 but before his entire interest in the Plan
has been distributed to him, then the remaining portion of that interest
shall, in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, be distributed
at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used under
Section 10.1.2 at the date of his death.
(iii) If a married Participant dies before his benefit
payments begin, then unless he has specifically elected otherwise, the
Committee shall cause the balance in his Account to be paid to his
Spouse. No election by a married Participant of a different Beneficiary
shall be valid unless the election is accompanied by the Spouse's
written consent, which (i) must acknowledge the effect of the election,
(ii) must explicitly provide either that the designated Beneficiary may
not subsequently be changed by the Participant without the Spouse's
further consent, or that it may be changed without such consent, and
(iii) must be witnessed by the Committee, its representative, or a
notary public. (This requirement shall not apply if the Participant
establishes to the Committee's satisfaction that the Spouse may not be
located.)
10.2-5 All distributions under this section shall be determined
and made in accordance with final and temporary regulations Sections
1.401(a)(9)-1 through 1.401(a)(9)-9, as promulgated under Code Section
401(a)(9), including the minimum distribution incidental benefit
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G) and Section 1.401(a)(9)-2 of
the proposed regulations. These provisions override any distribution
options in the Plan inconsistent with Code Section 401(a)(9).
10.3 MARITAL STATUS. The Committee, the Plan, the Trustee, and the Employers shall be fully protected and discharged from any liability to the extent of any benefit payments made as a result of the Committee's good faith and reasonable reliance upon information obtained from a Participant and his Employer as to his marital status.
10.4 DELAY IN BENEFIT DETERMINATION. If the Committee is unable to determine the benefits payable to a Participant or Beneficiary on or before the latest date prescribed for payment pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2, the benefits shall in any event be paid within 60 days after they can first be determined, with whatever makeup payments may be appropriate in view of the delay.
10.5 ACCOUNTING FOR BENEFIT PAYMENTS. Any benefit payment shall be charged to the Participant's Account as of the first day of the Valuation Period in which the payment is made.
10.6 OPTIONS TO RECEIVE AND SELL STOCK. Unless ownership of virtually all Stock is restricted to active Employees and qualified retirement plans for the benefit of Employees pursuant to the certificates of incorporation or by-laws of the Employers issuing Stock, a terminated Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may instruct the Committee to distribute the Participant's entire vested interest in his Account in the form of Stock. In that event, the Committee shall apply the Participant's vested interest in the Investment Fund to purchase sufficient Stock from the Stock Fund or from any owner of Stock to make the required distribution. In all other cases, the Participant's vested interest in the Stock Fund shall be distributed in shares of Stock, and his vested interest in the Investment Fund shall be distributed in cash. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, any distribution of $5,000 or less under the Plan, made without the Participant's consent, shall be made in cash, effective as of March 28, 2005.
Any Participant who receives Stock pursuant to Section 10.1, and any
person who has received Stock from the Plan or from such a Participant by reason
of the Participant's death or incompetency, by reason of divorce or separation
from the Participant, or by reason of a rollover contribution described in
Section 402(a)(5) of the Code, shall have the right to require the Employer
which issued the Stock to purchase the Stock for its current fair market value
(hereinafter referred to as the "put right"). The put right shall be exercisable
by written notice to the Committee during the first 60 days after the Stock is
distributed by the Plan, and, if not exercised in that period, during the first
60 days in the following Plan Year after the Committee has communicated to the
Participant its determination as to the Stock's current fair market value.
However, the put right shall not apply to the extent that the Stock, at the time
the put right would otherwise be exercisable, may be sold on an established
market in accordance with federal and state securities laws and regulations.
Similarly, the put option shall not apply with respect to the portion of a
Participant's Account which the Employee elected to have reinvested under Code
Section 401(a)(28)(B). If the put right is exercised, the Trustee may, if so
directed by the Committee in its sole discretion, assume the Employer's rights
and obligations with respect to purchasing the Stock. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the case of a plan established by a bank (as defined
in Code Section 581), the put option shall not apply if prohibited by a federal
or state law and Participants are entitled to elect their benefits be
distributed in cash.
If a Participant elects to receive his distribution in the form of a lump sum pursuant to Section 10.1.1 of the Plan, the Employer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may elect to pay for the Stock in equal periodic installments, not less frequently than annually, over a period beginning not later than 30 days after the exercise of the put right and not exceeding five years, with adequate security and interest at a reasonable rate on the unpaid balance, all such terms to be set forth in a promissory note delivered to the seller with normal terms as to acceleration upon any uncured default.
If a Participant elects to receive his distribution in the form of an installment payment pursuant to Section 10.1-2 of the Plan, the Employer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall pay for the Stock distributed in the installment distribution over a period which shall not exceed 30 days after the exercise of the put right.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate any Employer to register any Stock under any federal or state securities law or to create or maintain a public market to facilitate the transfer or disposition of any Stock. The put right described herein may only be exercised by a person described in the second preceding paragraph, and may not be transferred with any Stock to any other person. As to all Stock purchased by the Plan in exchange for any Stock Obligation, the put right shall be nonterminable. The put right for Stock acquired through a Stock Obligation shall continue with respect to such Stock after the Stock Obligation is repaid or the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan.
10.7 RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION OF STOCK. Except in the case of Stock which is traded on an established market, a Participant who receives Stock pursuant to Section 10.1, and any person who has received Stock from the Plan or from such a Participant by reason of the Participant's death or incompetency, by reason of divorce or separation from the Participant, or by reason of a rollover contribution described in Section 402(a)(5) of the Code, shall, prior to any sale or other transfer of the Stock to any other person, first offer the Stock to the issuing Employer and to the Plan at the greater of (i) its current fair market value, or (ii) the purchase price offered in good faith by an independent third party purchaser. This restriction shall apply to any transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, and whether for consideration or gratuitous. Either the Employer or the Trustee may accept the offer within 14 days after it is delivered. Any Stock distributed by the Plan shall bear a conspicuous legend describing the right of first refusal under this Section 10.7, as well as any other restrictions upon the transfer of the Stock imposed by federal and state securities laws and regulations.
10.8 CONTINUING LOAN PROVISIONS; CREATIONS OF PROTECTIONS AND RIGHTS.
Except as otherwise provided in Sections 10.6 and 10.7 and this Section, no
shares of Employer Stock held or distributed by the Trustee may be subject to a
put, call or other option, or buy-sell arrangement. The provisions of this
Section shall continue to be applicable to such Stock even if the Plan ceases to
be an employee stock ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code.
10.9 DIRECT ROLLOVER OF ELIGIBLE DISTRIBUTION. A Participant or distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Trustee or the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant or distributee in a direct rollover.
10.9-1 An "eligible rollover" is any distribution that does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); any hardship distribution described in Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not included in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately account for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.
10.9-2 An "eligible retirement plan" is an individual
retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual
retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), an annuity plan
described in Code Section 403(a), or a qualified trust described in Code
Section 401(a), that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover
distribution. In the case of distributions after December 31, 2001, an
eligible retirement plan shall also include an annuity contract
described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under
Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, or any agency
or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and
which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such
plan from this Plan. In the case of an eligible rollover distribution to
a surviving Spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an individual
retirement account or individual retirement annuity.
10.9-3 A "direct rollover" is a payment by the Plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.
10.9-4 The term "distributee" shall refer to a deceased Participant's Spouse or a Participant's former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p).
10.10 WAIVER OF 30-DAY PERIOD AFTER NOTICE OF DISTRIBUTION. If a distribution is one to which Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of the Code do not apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required under Section 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Income Tax Regulations is given, provided that:
(i) the Trustee or Committee, as applicable, clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a distribution (and, if applicable, a particular option), and
(ii) the Participant, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects a distribution.
SECTION 11. RULES GOVERNING BENEFIT CLAIMS AND REVIEW OF APPEALS.
11.1 CLAIM FOR BENEFITS. Any Participant or Beneficiary who qualifies for the payment of benefits shall file a claim for his benefits with the Committee on a form provided by the Committee. The claim, including any election of an alternative benefit form, shall be filed at least 30 days before the date on which the benefits are to begin. If a Participant or Beneficiary fails to file a claim by the day before the date on which benefits become payable, he shall be presumed to have filed a claim for payment for the Participant's benefits in the standard form prescribed by Sections 10.1 or 10.2.
11.2 NOTIFICATION BY COMMITTEE. Within 90 days after receiving a claim for benefits (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time and written notice of the extension is given to the Participant or Beneficiary within 90 days after receiving the claim for benefits), the Committee shall notify the Participant or Beneficiary whether the claim has been approved or denied. If the Committee denies a claim in any respect, the Committee shall set forth in a written notice to the Participant or Beneficiary:
(i) each specific reason for the denial;
(ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;
(iii) a description of any additional material or information which could be submitted by the Participant or Beneficiary to support his claim, with an explanation of the relevance of such information; and
(iv) an explanation of the claims review procedures set forth in Section 11.3.
11.3 CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE. Within 60 days after a Participant or Beneficiary receives notice from the Committee that his claim for benefits has been denied in any respect, he may file with the Committee a written notice of appeal setting forth his reasons for disputing the Committee's determination. In connection with his appeal the Participant or Beneficiary or his representative may inspect or purchase copies of pertinent documents and records to the extent not inconsistent with other Participants' and Beneficiaries' rights of privacy. Within 60 days after receiving a notice of appeal from a prior determination (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time and written notice of the extension is given to the Participant or Beneficiary and his representative within 60 days after receiving the notice of appeal), the Committee shall furnish to the Participant or Beneficiary and his representative, if any, a written statement of the Committee's final decision with respect to his claim, including the reasons for such decision and the particular Plan provisions upon which it is based.
SECTION 12. THE COMMITTEE AND ITS FUNCTIONS.
12.1 AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall be the "plan administrator" within the meaning of ERISA and shall have exclusive responsibility and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan, including the interpretation and application of its provisions, except to the extent such responsibility and authority are otherwise specifically (i) allocated to the Bank, the Employers, or the Trustee under the Plan and Trust Agreement, (ii) delegated in writing to other persons by the Bank, the
Employers, the Committee, or the Trustee, or (iii) allocated to other parties by operation of law. The Committee shall have exclusive responsibility regarding decisions concerning the payment of benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall have no investment responsibility with respect to the Investment Fund except to the extent, if any, specifically provided in the Trust Agreement. In the discharge of its duties, the Committee may employ accountants, actuaries, legal counsel, and other agents (who also may be employed by an Employer or the Trustee in the same or some other capacity) and may pay their reasonable expenses and compensation.
12.2 IDENTITY OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall consist of three or more individuals selected by the Bank. Any individual, including a director, trustee, shareholder, officer, or Employee of an Employer, shall be eligible to serve as a member of the Committee. The Bank shall have the power to remove any individual serving on the Committee at any time without cause upon 10 days written notice, and any individual may resign from the Committee at any time upon 10 days written notice to the Bank. The Bank shall notify the Trustee of any change in membership of the Committee.
12.3 DUTIES OF COMMITTEE. The Committee shall keep whatever records may be necessary to implement the Plan and shall furnish whatever reports may be required from time to time by the Bank. The Committee shall furnish to the Trustee whatever information may be necessary to properly administer the Trust. The Committee shall see to the filing with the appropriate government agencies of all reports and returns required of the Plan under ERISA and other laws.
Further, the Committee shall have exclusive responsibility and authority with respect to the Plan's holdings of Stock and shall direct the Trustee in all respects regarding the purchase, retention, sale, exchange, and pledge of Stock and the creation and satisfaction of Stock Obligations. The Committee shall at all times act consistently with the Bank's long-term intention that the Plan, as an employee stock ownership plan, be invested primarily in Stock. Subject to the direction of the board as to the application of Employer contributions to Stock Obligations, and subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 10.6 as to Participants' rights under certain circumstances to have their Accounts invested in Stock or in assets other than Stock, the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion the extent to which assets of the Trust shall be used to repay Stock Obligations, to purchase Stock, or to invest in other assets to be selected by the Trustee or an investment manager. No provision of the Plan relating to the allocation or vesting of any interests in the Stock Fund or the Investment Fund shall restrict the Committee from changing any holdings of the Trust, whether the changes involve an increase or a decrease in the Stock or other assets credited to Participants' Accounts. In determining the proper extent of the Trust's investment in Stock, the Committee shall be authorized to employ investment counsel, legal counsel, appraisers, and other agents and to pay their reasonable expenses and compensation.
12.4 VALUATION OF STOCK. If the valuation of any Stock is not established by reported trading on a generally recognized public market, the valuation of such Stock shall be determined by an independent appraiser. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "independent appraiser" means any appraiser meeting requirements similar to the requirements of the regulations prescribed under Section 170(a)(1) of the Code.
12.5 COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. The Committee shall perform all acts necessary to comply with ERISA. Each individual member or employee of the Committee shall discharge his duties in good faith and in accordance with the applicable requirements of ERISA.
12.6 ACTION BY COMMITTEE. All actions of the Committee shall be governed by the affirmative vote of a number of members which is a majority of the total number of members currently appointed, including vacancies.
12.7 EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. Any instrument executed by the Committee shall be signed by any member or employee of the Committee.
12.8 ADOPTION OF RULES. The Committee shall adopt such rules and regulations of uniform applicability as it deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration and interpretation of the Plan.
12.9 RESPONSIBILITIES TO PARTICIPANTS. The Committee shall determine which Employees qualify to enter the Plan. The Committee shall furnish to each Eligible Employee whatever summary plan descriptions, summary annual reports, and other notices and information may be required under ERISA. The Committee also shall determine when a Participant or his Beneficiary qualifies for the payment of benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall furnish to each such Participant or Beneficiary whatever information is required under ERISA (or is otherwise appropriate) to enable the Participant or Beneficiary to make whatever elections may be available pursuant to Sections 6 and 10, and the Committee shall provide for the payment of benefits in the proper form and amount from the assets of the Trust Fund. The Committee may decide in its sole discretion to permit modifications of elections and to defer or accelerate benefits to the extent consistent with applicable law and the best interests of the individuals concerned.
12.10 ALTERNATIVE PAYEES IN EVENT OF INCAPACITY. If the Committee finds at any time that an individual qualifying for benefits under this Plan is a minor or is incompetent, the Committee may direct the benefits to be paid, in the case of a minor, to his parents, his legal guardian, or a custodian for him under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or, in the case of an incompetent, to his spouse, or his legal guardian, the payments to be used for the individual's benefit. The Committee and the Trustee shall not be obligated to inquire as to the actual use of the funds by the person receiving them under this Section 12.10, and any such payment shall completely discharge the obligations of the Plan, the Trustee, the Committee, and the Employers to the extent of the payment.
12.11 INDEMNIFICATION BY EMPLOYERS. Except as separately agreed in writing, the Committee, and any member or employee of the Committee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA, and subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121, to the extent applicable, against any and all costs, damages, expenses, and liabilities reasonably incurred by or imposed upon it or him in connection with any claim made against it or him or in which it or he may be involved by reason of its or his being, or having been, the Committee, or a member or employee of the Committee, to the extent such amounts are not paid by insurance.
12.12 NONPARTICIPATION BY INTERESTED MEMBER. Any member of the Committee who also is a Participant in the Plan shall take no part in any determination specifically relating to his own participation or benefits, unless his abstention would leave the Committee incapable of acting on the matter.
SECTION 13. ADOPTION, AMENDMENT, OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.
13.1 ADOPTION OF PLAN BY OTHER EMPLOYERS. With the consent of the Bank, any entity may become a participating Employer under the Plan by (i) taking such action as shall be necessary to adopt the Plan, (ii) becoming a party to the Trust Agreement establishing the Trust Fund, and (iii) executing and delivering such instruments and taking such other action as may be necessary or desirable to put the Plan into effect with respect to the entity's Employees.
13.2 PLAN ADOPTION SUBJECT TO QUALIFICATION. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the adoption of the Plan and the execution of the Trust Agreement are conditioned upon their being determined initially by the Internal Revenue Service to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code,
so that the Employers may deduct currently for federal income tax purposes their contributions to the Trust and so that the Participants may exclude the contributions from their gross income and recognize income only when they receive benefits. In the event that this Plan is held by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify initially under Section 401(a), the Plan may be amended retroactively to the earliest date permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulations in order to secure qualification under Section 401(a). If this Plan is held by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify initially under Section 401(a) either as originally adopted or as amended, each Employer's contributions to the Trust under this Plan (including any earnings thereon) shall be returned to it and this Plan shall be terminated. In the event that this Plan is amended after its initial qualification and the Plan as amended is held by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify under Section 401(a), the amendment may be modified retroactively to the earliest date permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulations in order to secure approval of the amendment under Section 401(a).
13.3 RIGHT TO AMEND OR TERMINATE. The Bank intends to continue this Plan as a permanent program. However, each participating Employer separately reserves the right to suspend, supersede, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, as it applies to that Employer's Employees, and the Bank reserves the right to amend, suspend, supersede, merge, consolidate, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, as it applies to the Employees of each Employer. No amendment, suspension, supersession, merger, consolidation, or termination of the Plan shall (i) reduce any Participant's or Beneficiary's proportionate interest in the Trust Fund, (ii) reduce or restrict, either directly or indirectly, the benefit provided any Participant prior to the amendment, or (iii) divert any portion of the Trust Fund to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan. Moreover, there shall not be any transfer of assets to a successor plan or merger or consolidation with another plan unless, in the event of the termination of the successor plan or the surviving plan immediately following such transfer, merger, or consolidation, each participant or beneficiary would be entitled to a benefit equal to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to if the plan in which he was previously a participant or beneficiary had terminated immediately prior to such transfer, merger, or consolidation. Following a termination of this Plan by the Bank, the Trustee shall continue to administer the Trust and pay benefits in accordance with the Plan as amended from time to time and the Committee's instructions.
SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
14.1 PLAN CREATES NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as giving any Employee the right to be retained as an Employee by an Employer, or as limiting or affecting the rights of an Employer to control its Employees or to terminate the Service of any Employee at any time and for any reason, subject to any applicable employment or collective bargaining agreements.
14.2 NONASSIGNABILITY OF BENEFITS. No assignment, pledge, or other anticipation of benefits from the Plan will be permitted or recognized by the Employer, the Committee, or the Trustee. Moreover, benefits from the Plan shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process for debts or liabilities of any Participant or Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law. This prohibition on assignment or alienation shall apply to any judgment, decree, or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which relates to the provision of child support, alimony, or property rights to a present or former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant pursuant to a state domestic relations or community property law, unless the judgment, decree, or order is determined by the Committee to be a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, as more fully set forth in Section 14.12 hereof.
14.3 LIMIT OF EMPLOYER LIABILITY. The liability of the Employer with respect to Participants under this Plan shall be limited to making contributions to the Trust from time to time, in accordance with Section 4.
14.4 TREATMENT OF EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Committee and the Trustee in connection with administering this Plan and Trust Fund shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund to the extent the expenses have not been paid or assumed by the Employer or by the Trustee. The Committee may determine that, and shall inform the Trustee when, reasonable expenses may be charged directly to the Account or Accounts of a Participant or group of Participants to whom or for whose benefit such expenses are allocable, subject to the guidelines set forth in Field Assistance Bulletin 2003-03, to the extent not superseded, or any successor directive issued by the Department of Labor.
14.5 NUMBER AND GENDER. Any use of the singular shall be interpreted to include the plural, and the plural the singular. Any use of the masculine, feminine, or neuter shall be interpreted to include the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context shall require.
14.6 NONDIVERSION OF ASSETS. Except as provided in Sections 5.2 and 14.12, under no circumstances shall any portion of the Trust Fund be diverted to or used for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan.
14.7 SEPARABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of this Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.
14.8 SERVICE OF PROCESS. The agent for the service of process upon the Plan shall be the president of the Bank, or such other person as may be designated from time to time by the Bank.
14.9 GOVERNING STATE LAW. This Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey to the extent those laws are applicable under the provisions of ERISA.
14.10 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS CONDITIONED ON DEDUCTIBILITY. Employer
Contributions to the Plan are conditioned on deductibility under Code Section
404. In the event that the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that all or
any portion of an Employer Contribution is not deductible under that Section,
the nondeductible portion shall be returned to the Employer within one year of
the disallowance of the deduction.
14.11 UNCLAIMED ACCOUNTS. Neither the Employer nor the Trustees shall
be under any obligation to search for, or ascertain the whereabouts of, any
Participant or Beneficiary. The Employer or the Trustees, by certified or
registered mail addressed to his last known address of record with the Employer,
shall notify any Participant or Beneficiary that he is entitled to a
distribution under this Plan, and the notice shall quote the provisions of this
Section. If the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim his benefits or make
his whereabouts known in writing to the Employer or the Trustees within seven
(7) calendar years after the date of notification, the benefits of the
Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan will be disposed of as follows:
(a) If the whereabouts of the Participant is unknown but the whereabouts of the Participant's Beneficiary is known to the Trustees, distribution will be made to the Beneficiary.
(b) If the whereabouts of the Participant and his Beneficiary are unknown to the Trustees, the Plan will forfeit the benefit, provided that the benefit is subject to a claim for reinstatement if the Participant or Beneficiary make a claim for the forfeited benefit.
Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Trustees shall operate as a complete discharge of all obligations of the Trustees, to the extent of the distributions so made.
14.12 QUALIFIED DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER. Section 14.2 shall not apply to a "qualified domestic relations order" defined in Code Section 414(p), and such other domestic relations orders permitted to be so treated under the provisions of the Retirement Equity Act of 1984. Further, to the extent provided under a "qualified domestic relations order," a former Spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the Spouse or surviving Spouse for all purposes under the Plan.
In the case of any domestic relations order received by the Plan:
(a) The Employer or the Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any other alternate payee of the receipt of such order and the Plan's procedures for determining the qualified status of domestic relations orders, and
(b) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such order, the Employer or the Committee shall determine whether such order is a qualified domestic relations order and notify the Participant and each alternate payee of such determination. The Employer or the Committee shall establish reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders.
During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations
order is a qualified domestic relations order is being determined (by the
Employer or Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise), the
Employer or the Committee shall segregate in a separate account in the Plan or
in an escrow account the amounts which would have been payable to the alternate
payee during such period if the order had been determined to be a qualified
domestic relations order. If within eighteen (18) months the order (or
modification thereof) is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order,
the Employer or the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any
interest thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto. If within eighteen
(18) months it is determined that the order is not a qualified domestic
relations order, or the issue as to whether such order is a qualified domestic
relations order is not resolved, then the Employer or the Committee shall pay
the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons who
would have been entitled to such amounts if there had been no order. Any
determination that an order is a qualified domestic relations order which is
made after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall be applied
prospectively only. The term "alternate payee" means any Spouse, former Spouse,
child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a domestic
relations order as having a right to receive all, or a portion of, the benefit
payable under a Plan with respect to such Participant.
SECTION 15. TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS.
15.1 TOP-HEAVY PLAN. This Plan is top-heavy if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) If the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and this Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group;
(b) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group (but is not part of a permissive aggregation group) and the aggregate top-heavy ratio for the group of Plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or
(c) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group and part of a permissive aggregation group and the aggregate top-heavy ratio for the permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%).
15.2 SUPER TOP-HEAVY PLAN This Plan will be a super top-heavy Plan if any of the following conditions exist:
(a) If the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds ninety percent (90%) and this Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group.
(b) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group (but is not part of a permissive aggregation group) and the aggregate top-heavy ratio for the group of Plans exceeds ninety percent (90%), or
(c) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group and part of a permissive aggregation group and the aggregate top-heavy ratio for the permissive aggregation group exceeds ninety percent (90%).
15.3 DEFINITIONS.
In making this determination, the Committee shall use the following definitions and principles:
15.3-1 The "Determination Date," with respect to the first Plan Year of any plan, means the last day of that Plan Year, and with respect to each subsequent Plan Year, means the last day of the preceding Plan Year. If any other plan has a Determination Date which differs from this Plan's Determination Date, the top-heaviness of this Plan shall be determined on the basis of the other plan's Determination Date falling within the same calendar years as this Plan's Determination Date.
15.3-2 A "Key Employee" means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation greater than $135,000 (as adjusted under section 416(i)(1) of the Code for plan years beginning after December 31, 2002, a 5-percent owner of the employer, or a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder.
15.3-3 A "Non-key Employee" means an Employee who at any time during the five years ending on the top-heavy Determination Date for the Plan Year has received compensation from an Employer and who has never been a Key Employee, and the Beneficiary of any such Employee.
15.3-4 A "required aggregation group" includes (a) each
qualified Plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee
participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date and (b)
any other qualified Plan of the Employer which enables a Plan described
in (a) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, a qualified Plan of the Employer
includes a terminated Plan maintained by the Employer within the period
ending on the Determination Date. In the case of a required aggregation
group, each Plan in the group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the
required aggregation group is a top-heavy group. No Plan in the required
aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the required
aggregation group is not a top-heavy group. All Employers aggregated
under Code Sections 414(b), (c) or (m) or (o) (but only after the Code
Section 414(o) regulations become effective) are considered a single
Employer.
15.3-5 A "permissive aggregation group" includes the required aggregation group of Plans plus any other qualified Plan(s) of the Employer that are not required to be aggregated but which, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group, satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 and are comparable to the Plans in the required aggregation group. No Plan in the permissive aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is not a top-heavy group. Only a Plan that is part of the required aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is top-heavy.
15.4 TOP-HEAVY RULES OF APPLICATION.
For purposes of determining the value of Account balances and the present value of accrued benefits the following provisions shall apply:
15.4-1 The value of Account balances and the present value of accrued benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date.
15.4-2 For purposes of testing whether this Plan is top-heavy, the present value of an individual's accrued benefits and an individual's Account balances is counted only once each year.
15.4-3 The Account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant who is not presently a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1984 will be disregarded.
15.4-4 Employer contributions attributable to a salary reduction or similar arrangement will be taken into account. Employer matching contributions also shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan.
15.4-5 When aggregating Plans, the value of Account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.
15.4-6 The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "five (5) year period" for "one (1) year period."
15.4-7 Accrued benefits and Account balances of an individual shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the top-heavy ratios if the individual has performed no services for the Employer during the one (1) year period ending on the applicable Determination Date. Compensation for purposes of this subparagraph shall not include any payments made to an individual by the Employer pursuant to a qualified or non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
15.4-8 The present value of the accrued benefits or the amount of the Account balances of any Employee participating in this Plan shall not include any rollover contributions or other transfers voluntarily initiated by the Employee except as described below. If this Plan transfers or rolls over funds to another Plan in a transaction voluntarily initiated by the Employee, then this Plan shall count
the distribution for purposes of determining Account balances or the present value of accrued benefits. A transfer incident to a merger or consolidation of two or more Plans of the Employer (including Plans of related Employers treated as a single Employer under Code Section 414), or a transfer or rollover between Plans of the Employer, shall not be considered as voluntarily initiated by the Employee.
15.5 MINIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS. For any Top-Heavy Year, each Employer shall make a special contribution on behalf of each Participant to the extent that the total allocations to his Account pursuant to Section 4 is less than the lesser of:
(i) three percent of his 415 Compensation for that year, or
(ii) the highest ratio of such allocation to 415 Compensation received by any Key Employee for that year. For purposes of the special contribution of this Section 15.2, a Key Employee's 415 Compensation shall include amounts the Key Employee elected to defer under a qualified 401(k) arrangement. Such a special contribution shall be made on behalf of each Participant who is employed by an Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, regardless of the number of his Hours of Service, and shall be allocated to his Account.
If the Employer maintains a qualified plan in addition to this Plan and more than one such plan is determined to be Top-Heavy, a minimum contribution or a minimum benefit shall be provided in one of such other plans, including a plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met. If the Employer has both a Top-Heavy defined benefit plan and a Top-Heavy defined contribution plan and a minimum contribution is to be provided only in the defined contribution plan, then the sum of the Employer contributions and forfeitures allocated to the Account of each Non-key Employee shall be equal to at least five percent (5%) of such Non-key Employee's 415 Compensation for that year.
15.6 TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS CONTROL IN TOP-HEAVY PLAN. In the event this Plan becomes top-heavy and a conflict arises between the top-heavy provisions herein set forth and the remaining provisions set forth in this Plan, the top-heavy provisions shall control.

Rather, once the Executive has exercised the withdrawal rights provided for in Subsection 2.2, the Bank shall be required to record the annual amounts set forth in Exhibit A of the Agreement in the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account, pursuant to Subsection 2.1. 1.19 "Plan Year" shall mean February ___, 1996 through September 30, 1996, for the first Plan Year. Thereafter, the term shall mean the twelve (12) month period |
commencing October 1, 1996 and each consecutive twelve (12) month period thereafter. 1.20 "Retirement Income Trust Fund" means the trust fund account established by the Executive and into which annual Contributions will be made by the Bank on behalf of the Executive pursuant to Subsection 2.1. The contractual rights of the Bank and the Executive with respect to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be outlined in a separate writing to be known as the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust agreement. 1.21 "Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit" means (assuming the normal form of payment is applicable) an annual amount (BEFORE taking into account federal and state income taxes), payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. Such benefit is projected pursuant to the Agreement for the purpose of determining the Contributions to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions to be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account). The annual Contributions and Phantom Contributions have been actuarially determined, using the assumptions set forth in Exhibit A, in order to fund for the projected Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. The Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit for which Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) are being made (or recorded) is set forth in Exhibit A. 1.22 "Timely Election" means the Executive has made an election to change the form of his benefit payment(s) by filing with the Administrator a Notice of Election to Change Form of Payment (Exhibit C of this Agreement), such election having been made prior to the event which triggers distribution and at least two (2) years prior to the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date. SECTION II BENEFITS - GENERALLY |
2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Executive shall establish the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Executive's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Executive. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Executive's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust shall be made by the trustee to the Executive, for purposes of payment of any income taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Executive shall be required to pay from year to year under applicable law prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust agreement, this Agreement shall supersede the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust agreement.
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within thirty (30) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first five (5) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first five (5) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions
shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, up to and throughout the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until one (1) calendar year following the date such Phantom Contribution is initially recorded in the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account.
The Administrator may review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A within ten (10) days prior to the close of each Plan Year. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. The Administrator may prospectively amend the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A, should the Administrator determine during any such review that an increase in such Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) is necessary or desired in order to provide a benefit equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit on an after-tax basis.

3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Executive is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, including employment with the Bank until Benefit Age following a Change in Control, and (ii) the Executive has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Executive's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date.

Should Retirement
Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the

return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final
benefit payment to the Executive (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute
the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of
return. In the event the Executive dies at any time after attaining his
Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments
due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the monthly installments
(or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already
commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or
(ii) the Executive's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid
balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum
payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment
of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form
shall be made only if the Executive's Beneficiary (i) obtains approval
from the trustee of the Elizabeth E. Hance Grantor Trust and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Executive's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved

If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive's
Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Executive's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

If (i) the Executive is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, including employment with the Bank until Benefit Age following a Change in Control, and (ii) the Executive has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.

SECTION VII NON-COMPETITION
7.1 NON-COMPETITION In consideration of the agreements of the Bank contained herein and of the payments to be made by the Bank pursuant hereto, the Executive hereby agrees that, for as long as he remains employed by the Bank, he will devote substantially all of his time, skill, diligence and attention to the business of the Bank, and will not actively engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business or other activity which is, or may be deemed to be, in any way competitive with or adverse to the best interests of the business of the Bank. The Executive further agrees that following his employment with the Bank and continuing through the Payout Period he will not actively engage, either directly or indirectly, in any business or other activity which is, or may be deemed to be, in any way competitive with or adverse to the best interests of the Bank, unless the Executive has the prior express written consent of the Board of Directors of the Bank.
7.2 BREACH OF NON-COMPETITION CLAUSE.
(a) DURING EMPLOYMENT.
In the event the Executive breaches Subsection 7.1 while employed at the
Bank, all further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or
Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account) shall immediately
cease, and all benefits under this Agreement, other than those which can
be paid from previous Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
(and earnings on such Contributions), shall be forfeited. If, following
such breach, the Executive lives until attaining his Benefit Age, he
shall be entitled to receive a benefit from the Retirement Income Trust
Fund equal to the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured
as of the Executive's Benefit Age, payable in a lump sum on his Benefit
Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies after attaining his
Benefit Age but before actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be
entitled to receive the lump sum benefit payable within thirty (30) days
of the date of the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's
death. If, following such breach, the Executive dies prior to attaining
his Benefit Age, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a benefit
from the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the balance of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the date of the Executive's
death,
payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's death.
In the event (i) any breach by the Executive of the agreements and covenants described in Subsection 7.1 occurs, and (ii) the Executive's employment with the Bank is terminated due to such breach, such termination shall be deemed to be for Cause and the benefits payable to the Executive shall be paid in accordance with Subsection 5.2 of this Agreement.
(b) BREACH FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
In the event the Executive breaches Subsection 7.1 following the Executive's termination of employment with the Bank, all benefits under this Agreement, other than those which can be paid from previous Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be forfeited, regardless of whether the Executive is receiving benefits at such time. If the Executive has attained his Benefit Age and is receiving a benefit at the time of such breach, his remaining balance in the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be paid to him in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Bank has received notice of such breach (or in the event of his death prior to payment of such lump sum, to his Beneficiary). If the Executive has not attained his Benefit Age, and following such breach, the Executive lives until his Benefit Age, he (or his Beneficiary, in the event of his death prior to payment of his benefit) shall receive a benefit payable in a lump sum from the Retirement Income Trust Fund in the same manner as set forth above in Subsection 7.2(a).
SECTION VIII BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The Executive shall make an initial designation of primary and secondary Beneficiaries upon execution of this Agreement and shall have the right to change such designation, at any subsequent time, by submitting to (i) the Administrator, AND (ii) the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement, a written designation of primary and
secondary Beneficiaries. Any Beneficiary designation made subsequent to execution of this Agreement shall become effective only when receipt thereof is acknowledged in writing by the Administrator.
SECTION IX EXECUTIVE'S RIGHT TO ASSETS
The rights of the Executive, any Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through the Executive under this Agreement, shall be solely those of an unsecured general creditor of the Bank, unless this Agreement provides otherwise. The Executive, the Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through the Executive, shall only have the right to receive from the Bank those payments so specified under this Agreement. The Executive agrees that he, his Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through him shall have no rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Bank, including any insurance policies or contracts which the Bank may possess or obtain to informally fund this Agreement. Any asset used or acquired by the Bank in connection with the liabilities it has assumed under this Agreement, unless expressly provided herein, shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Executive or his Beneficiaries, nor shall any asset be considered security for the performance of the obligations of the Bank. Any such asset shall be and remain, a general, unpledged, and unrestricted asset of the Bank.
SECTION X RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING
The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement, unless this Agreement provides otherwise. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Executive, his Beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him shall be and remain simply a general unsecured creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Bank reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to either purchase assets to
meet its obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from the same and to determine the extent, nature, and method of such asset purchases. Should the Bank decide to purchase assets such as life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such assets at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall the Executive be deemed to have any lien, right, title or interest in or to any specific investment or to any assets of the Bank. If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Executive, then the Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical examination and by supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.
SECTION XI ACT PROVISIONS
11.1 NAMED FIDUCIARY AND ADMINISTRATOR. The Bank shall be the Administrator (the "Administrator") of this Agreement. As Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of the Agreement as established herein and shall be responsible for designation of the initial trustee, of the related rabbi trust, in accordance with the formal agreement establishing such trust. The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals. 11.2 CLAIMS PROCEDURE AND ARBITRATION. In the event that benefits under this Agreement are not paid to the Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the case of the Executive's death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, it shall provide in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such claim, its specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, and any additional |
material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such writing by the Administrator shall further indicate the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional review of the claim denial is desired.
If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review this Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues and comments, in writing, they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of this Agreement upon which the decision is based. If such determination is favorable to the claimants, it shall be binding and conclusive. If such determination is adverse to such claimants, it shall be binding and conclusive unless the claimants (i) notify the Administrator within ninety (90) days after receipt by the claimants of the Administrator's determination, that the claimants intend to institute legal proceedings challenging the determination of the Administrator, and (ii) actually institute such legal proceedings within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt by the claimants of the Administrator's determination.
SECTION XII MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 NO EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing contained herein will confer upon the Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Bank nor limit the right of the Bank to discharge or otherwise deal with the Executive, in accordance with the bylaws of the Bank, without regard to the existence of the Agreement. Pursuant to 12 C.F.R. ss. 563.39(b), the following conditions shall apply to this Agreement: (1) The Bank's Board of Directors may terminate the Executive at any time, but any termination by the Bank's Board of Directors other than termination for Cause shall not prejudice the Executive's vested right |
to compensation or other benefits under the contract. As provided in Subsection 5.2, the Executive shall have no right to receive additional compensation or other benefits, other than those provided for in Subsection 5.2, after termination for Cause.
(2) If the Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and (g)(1)) the Bank's obligations under the contract shall be suspended (except vested rights) as of the date of termination of 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 contract obligations were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.
(3) If the Executive is terminated and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(4) or (g)(1)), all non-vested obligations of the Bank under the contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order.

(ii) by the Director [of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or the Resolution Trust Corporation] or his designee, at the time the Director or his designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, (i.e., the balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund and the balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable), however, shall not be affected by such action. 12.2 STATE LAW. The Agreement is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the state of New Jersey, to the extent such laws are not preempted by the Act and valid regulations published thereunder. 12.3 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or portion thereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. 12.4 INCAPACITY OF RECIPIENT. In the event the Executive is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate is |
appointed, any benefits under the Agreement to which such Executive is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate. 12.5 UNCLAIMED BENEFIT. The Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. The Bank shall not be obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person. If the location of the Executive is not made known to the Bank as of the date upon which any payment of any benefits from the Accrued Benefit Account may first be made, the Bank shall delay payment of the Executive's benefit payment(s) until the location of the Executive is made known to the Bank; however, the Bank shall only be obligated to hold such benefit payment(s) for the Executive until the expiration of thirty-six (36) months. Upon expiration of the thirty-six (36) month period, the Bank may discharge its obligation by payment to the Executive's Beneficiary. If the location of the Executive's Beneficiary is not made known to the Bank by the end of an additional two (2) month period following expiration of the thirty-six (36) month period, the Bank may discharge its obligation by payment to the Executive's Estate. If there is no Estate in existence at such time or if such fact cannot be determined by the Bank, the Executive and his Beneficiary(ies) shall thereupon forfeit any rights to the balance, if any, of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account provided for such Executive and/or Beneficiary under this Agreement. 12.6 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Executive's death results from suicide, whether sane or insane, within twenty-six (26) months after execution of this Agreement, all further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account) shall thereupon cease, and no Contribution (or Phantom Contribution) shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account) in the year such death resulting from suicide occurs (if not yet made). All benefits other than those available from previous Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund under this Agreement shall be forfeited, and this Agreement shall become null and void.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank, its successors and assigns, and the Executive, his successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and Beneficiaries. 12.11 HEADINGS. Headings and sub-headings in this Agreement are inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 12.12 ESTABLISHMENT OF A RABBI TRUST. The Bank shall establish a rabbi trust into which the Bank shall contribute assets which shall be held therein, subject to the claims of the Bank's creditors in the event of the Bank's "Insolvency" (as defined in such rabbi trust agreement), until the contributed assets are paid to the Executive and/or his Beneficiary in such manner and at such times as specified in this Agreement. It is |
the intention of the Bank that the contribution or contributions to the rabbi trust shall provide the Bank with a source of funds to assist it in meeting the liabilities of this Agreement.
SECTION XIII AMENDMENT/PLAN TERMINATION
13.1 AMENDMENT OR PLAN TERMINATION. The Bank intends this Agreement to be permanent, but reserves the right to amend or terminate the Agreement when, in the sole opinion of the Bank, such amendment or termination is required due to objection to the plan by the Bank's regulatory authorities, or in the event of a change in existing federal income tax laws which would cause this plan to create adverse tax consequences to the Bank and/or participants in the plan. However, any termination of the Agreement which is done in anticipation of or pursuant to a "Change in Control", as defined in Subsection 1.9, shall be deemed to trigger Subsection 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2), as applicable) of the Agreement notwithstanding the Executive's continued employment, and benefit(s) shall be paid from the Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) in accordance with Subsection 13.2 below and with Subsections 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2), as applicable). Any amendment or termination of the Agreement shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Bank and shall be effective as of the date of such resolution. No amendment or termination of the Agreement shall directly or indirectly deprive the Executive of all or any portion of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) as of the effective date of the resolution amending or terminating the Agreement. 13.2 EXECUTIVE'S RIGHT TO PAYMENT FOLLOWING PLAN TERMINATION. In the event of a termination of the Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the balance, if any, of his Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable), measured as of the date of plan termination. However, if such termination is done in anticipation of or pursuant to a "Change in Control," such balance(s) shall be |
measured as of the date the final Contribution (or Phantom Contribution) is made (or recorded) pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2)). Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall not be dependent upon his continuation of employment with the Bank following the termination date of the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the Agreement.

Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall continue each year, unless this

(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended
by FAS 106.
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death.
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed

Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Elizabeth Hance Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Elizabeth Hance Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Elizabeth Hance Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
SECTION IV PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT
4.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee
in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump
sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest
Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's
Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence
within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of
the Director's death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any
final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by
the Board of Directors, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such
Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be paid to the Director's Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final Phantom Contribution is recorded pursuant to
Subsection 2.1(c), shall be paid to the Director's Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.

The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than
the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the monthly installments (or a continuation of the monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death.

The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum
payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(2) DIRECTOR DIES PRIOR TO BENEFIT AGE If (i) after such termination, the Director dies prior to attaining his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 5.1(a)(2) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the date of the Director's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in the form of a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the date of the Director's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period.

The percentage shall be determined by the following formula: ten percent (10%) plus two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) for each year of service as a Director, with a minimum of fifty percent (50%), provided the Director has served for at least five (5) years, and a maximum of sixty percent (60%).

month following the occurrence of the event which triggers distribution and continuing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) months. Should the Director make a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit payment, the Director's Payout Period shall be deemed to be one (1) month. 1.21 "Phantom Contributions" means those annual Contributions which the Bank is no longer required to make on behalf of the Director to the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Rather, once the Director has exercised the withdrawal rights provided for in Subsection 2.2, the Bank shall be required to record the annual amounts set forth in Exhibit A of the Agreement in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account, pursuant to Subsection 2.1. 1.22 "Plan Year" shall mean the twelve (12) month period commencing January 1 and ending December 31. 1.23 "Retirement Income Trust Fund" means the trust fund account established by the Director and into which annual Contributions will be made by the Bank on behalf of the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.1.

Such benefit is projected pursuant to the Agreement for the purpose of determining the Contributions to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions to be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account). The annual Contributions and Phantom Contributions have been actuarially determined, using the assumptions set forth in Exhibit A, in order to fund for the projected Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. The Supplemental |
Retirement Income Benefit for which Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) are being made (or recorded) is set forth in Exhibit A. 1.26 "Timely Election" means the Director has made an election to change the form of his benefit payment(s) by filing with the Administrator a Notice of Election to Change Form of Payment (Exhibit C of this Agreement). In the case of benefits payable from the Accrued Benefit Account, such election shall have been made prior to the event which triggers distribution and at least two (2) years prior to the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the case of benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund, such election may be made at any time. SECTION II BENEFIT FUNDING 2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Director shall establish the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Director's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust Agreement, the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall continue each year, unless this
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of
(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended
by FAS 106.
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death.
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Joseph J. Lukacs, Jr. Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of
the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund.

Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust Agreement, the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall continue each year, unless this
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of
(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended
by FAS 106.
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death.
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.

recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Salvatore Romano Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date.

Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return.

sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest

payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by

SECTION IX DIRECTOR'S RIGHT TO ASSETS
The rights of the Director, any Beneficiary, or any other person
claiming through the Director under this Agreement, shall be solely those of an
unsecured general creditor of the Bank. The Director, the Beneficiary, or any
other person claiming through the Director, shall only have the right to receive
from the Bank those payments or amounts so specified under this Agreement. The
Director agrees that he, his Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through
him shall have no rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Bank,
including any insurance policies or contracts which the Bank may possess or
obtain to informally fund this Agreement. Any asset used or acquired by the Bank
in connection with the liabilities it has assumed under this Agreement shall not
be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of the Director or his
Beneficiaries, unless such asset is contained in the rabbi trust described in
Section XII of this Agreement. Any such asset shall be and remain a general,
unpledged asset of the Bank in the event of the Bank's insolvency.
SECTION X RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING
The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Agreement, other than those Contributions required to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The Director, his Beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him shall be and remain simply a general unsecured creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Bank reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to either purchase assets to meet its obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from the same and to determine the extent, nature, and method of such asset purchases. Should the Bank decide to purchase assets such as life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to replace such assets from time to time or to terminate its investment in such assets at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall the Director be deemed to have any lien, right, title or interest in or to any specific investment or to any assets of the Bank. If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Director, then the Director shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical examination and by supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.
SECTION XI ACT PROVISIONS
11.1 NAMED FIDUCIARY AND ADMINISTRATOR. The Bank, as Administrator, shall be the Named Fiduciary of this Agreement.

The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals. 11.2 CLAIMS PROCEDURE AND ARBITRATION. In the event that benefits under this Agreement are not paid to the Director (or to his Beneficiary in the case of the Director's death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, it shall provide in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such claim, its specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such writing by the Administrator shall further indicate the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional review of the claim denial is desired. If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review this Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues and comments, in writing, they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of this Agreement upon which the decision is based. If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed performance of this Plan and the Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to mediation, administered by the American Arbitration Association |
("AAA") (or a mediator selected by the parties) in accordance with the AAA's Commercial Mediation Rules.

distribution of the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, then upon such distribution this Agreement shall terminate. 13.2 DIRECTOR'S RIGHT TO PAYMENT FOLLOWING PLAN TERMINATION.

Such benefit is projected pursuant to the Agreement for the purpose of determining the Contributions to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions to be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account). The annual Contributions and Phantom Contributions have been actuarially determined, using the assumptions set forth in Exhibit A, in order to fund for the projected Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. The Supplemental |
Retirement Income Benefit for which Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) are being made (or recorded) is set forth in Exhibit A. 1.26 "Timely Election" means the Director has made an election to change the form of his benefit payment(s) by filing with the Administrator a Notice of Election to Change Form of Payment (Exhibit C of this Agreement). In the case of benefits payable from the Accrued Benefit Account, such election shall have been made prior to the event which triggers distribution and at least two (2) years prior to the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the case of benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund, such election may be made at any time. SECTION II BENEFIT FUNDING 2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Director shall establish the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Director's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust Agreement, the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. 8 |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences. The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period. (b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED. (1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall continue each year, unless this 9 |
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of service. (2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement 10 |
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs. (4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. |
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Joseph Yelencsics Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
SECTION IV PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT
4.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee
in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump
sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest
Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's
Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence
within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of
the Director's death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any
final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by
the Board of Directors, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such
Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be paid to the Director's Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.

In the event the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to Benefit Age, for any reason, including a Change in Control, but excluding (i) any disability related termination for which the Board of Directors has approved early payment of benefits pursuant to Subsection 6.1, (ii) the Director's pre-retirement death, which shall be covered in Section IV, (iii) or termination for Cause, which shall be covered in Subsection 5.2, the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive benefits in accordance with this Subsection 5.1.

The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences. The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period. (b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED. (1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall continue each year, unless this 9 |
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of service. (2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement 10 |
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs. (4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. 11 |
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED. (1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of service. (2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights. If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i) involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no 12 |
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.) (3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited. (4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. (5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit 13 |
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.) 2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Edward Stokes Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Edward Stokes Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Edward Stokes Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document. 2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder. |
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
SECTION IV PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT
4.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee
in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump
sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest
Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's
Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence
within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of
the Director's death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any
final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by
the Board of Directors, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such
Board of Director approval.

Subsection 2.1(c), shall be paid to the Director's Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.

controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.

Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than
the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing.

The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account.

Such lump sum
payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in the form of a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the date of the Director's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account in the form of a lump
sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

In the case of benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund, such election may be made at any time. SECTION II BENEFIT FUNDING 2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Director shall establish the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Director's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust Agreement, the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall continue each year, unless this
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of
(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended
by FAS 106.
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death.
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Martin Lukacs Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
SECTION IV PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT
4.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee
in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
the later of (i) the Director's death or (ii) the date any final lump
sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest
Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable to the Director's
Beneficiary for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence
within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of
the Director's death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any
final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by
the Board of Directors, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such

SECTION V
BENEFIT(S) IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE
PRIOR TO BENEFIT AGE
5.1 VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. In the event the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to Benefit Age, for any reason, including a Change in Control, but excluding (i) any disability related termination for which the Board of Directors has approved early payment of benefits pursuant to Subsection 6.1, (ii) the Director's pre-retirement death, which shall be covered in Section IV, (iii) or termination for Cause, which shall be covered in Subsection 5.2, the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to receive benefits in accordance with this Subsection 5.1. Payments of benefits pursuant to this Subsection 5.1 shall be made in accordance with Subsection 5.1 (a) or 5.1 (b) below, as applicable.
(a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT.
(1) DIRECTOR LIVES UNTIL BENEFIT AGE
If (i) after such termination, the Director lives until attaining his
Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to
receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 5.1(a)(1) shall be
controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than
the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the monthly installments (or a continuation of the monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum
payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(2) DIRECTOR DIES PRIOR TO BENEFIT AGE If (i) after such termination, the Director dies prior to attaining his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 5.1(a)(2) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the date of the Director's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Director's Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in the form of a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the date of the Director's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. The Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account in the form of a lump
sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

The amount of the annual Elective Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Accrued Benefit Account) has been based on the annual interest-adjusted accounting accruals which would be required of the Bank through the earlier of the Director's death or Benefit Age, (i) pursuant to APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106 and (ii) assuming a discount rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, in order to provide a portion of the unfunded, non-qualified Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. Director has elected a monthly, pre-tax deferral of board fees, committee fess and/or retainer in the amount of $1,500 per month for 79 months.
4. Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit means an actuarially determined annual amount equal to Fifty-Three Thousand Six Hundred and Sixteen Dollars ($39,028) at age 65 if paid entirely from the Accrued Benefit Account or Thirty-Four Thousand Three Hundred and Fourteen Dollars ($24,978) at age 65 if paid from the Retirement Income Trust Fund.
Exhibit A
The Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit:
o the definition of Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit has been incorporated into the Agreement for the sole purpose of actuarially establishing the amount of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Accrued Benefit Account). The amount of any actual retirement, pre-retirement or disability benefit payable pursuant to the Agreement will be a function of (i) the amount and timing of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Accrued Benefit Account) and (ii) the actual investment experience of such Contributions (or the monthly compounding rate of Phantom Contributions).

month following the occurrence of the event which triggers distribution and continuing for a period of one hundred eighty (180) months. Should the Director make a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit payment, the Director's Payout Period shall be deemed to be one (1) month. 1.21 "Phantom Contributions" means those annual Contributions which the Bank is no longer required to make on behalf of the Director to the Retirement Income Trust Fund.

Such benefit is projected pursuant to the Agreement for the purpose of determining the Contributions to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions to be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account). The annual Contributions and Phantom Contributions have been actuarially determined, using the assumptions set forth in Exhibit A, in order to fund for the projected Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit. The Supplemental |

In the case of benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund, such election may be made at any time. SECTION II BENEFIT FUNDING 2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The Director shall establish the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Director's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund of the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust Agreement, the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall continue each year, unless this
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of
(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended
by FAS 106.
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death.
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND. Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Director is entitled under Article III of the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Thomas Lankey Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.
SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death.

No amendment or termination of the Agreement shall directly or indirectly deprive the Director of all or any portion of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) as of the effective date of the resolution amending or terminating the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and if at any time after the final Contribution immediately prior to Director's Benefits Eligibility Date or the date that triggers distribution is made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund the Director elects to terminate the Retirement Income Trust Fund and receive a |

However, if such termination is done in anticipation of or pursuant to a "Change in Control," such balance(s) shall include the final Contribution (or final Phantom Contribution) made (or recorded) pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2)). Payment of the balance(s) of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall not be dependent upon his continuation of service with the Bank following the termination date of the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the Agreement.

If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the Andrew Hodulik Grantor Trust Agreement, the Andrew Hodulik Grantor Trust Agreement shall supersede this Agreement. 8 |
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period commences. The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period. (b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED. (1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall continue each year, unless this 9 |
Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of service. (2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement 10 |
Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs. (4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Director if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Director is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Director's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. |
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall
be required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be
recorded annually in the Director's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the
first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises
his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year
of the Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director first exercises his withdrawal rights.
If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36)
months of such Change in Control, the Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The
Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the
Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal
to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the
Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE. If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Director's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)

SECTION III RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less
than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit
payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance
is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid
balance of his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If
such a lump sum payment is requested by the Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director gives notice to both the Administrator and
trustee in writing. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty
(30) days of such notice. In the event the Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the
monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if
they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the
Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the Director's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.
(b) ALTERNATIVE PAYOUT OPTION. If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Director has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.
The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.
The balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of the Director's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Director in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death.

4.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT. If (i) the Director dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement death benefits.
The balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the later of (i) the Director's death, or (ii) the date any final lump sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Director's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return.

sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest

the Director's death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any
final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by

No amendment or termination of the Agreement shall directly or indirectly deprive the Director of all or any portion of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) as of the effective date of the resolution amending or terminating the Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and if at any time after the final Contribution immediately prior to Director's Benefits Eligibility Date or the date that triggers distribution is made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund the Director elects to terminate the Retirement Income Trust Fund and receive a 32 |
distribution of the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, then upon such distribution this Agreement shall terminate. 13.2 DIRECTOR'S RIGHT TO PAYMENT FOLLOWING PLAN TERMINATION.

MAGYAR BANCORP, INC.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
FOR
ELIZABETH E. HANCE
This Agreement is made effective as of the ____ day of _____________, 2005 by and between Magyar Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with its principal administrative office at 400 Somerset Street, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903, and Elizabeth E. Hance ("Executive").
WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which owns 100% of the Common Stock of Magyar Bank, a New Jersey chartered stock savings bank (the "Bank"); and
WHEREAS, in consideration of Executive's outstanding service to the Company, the Company desires to assure the continued services of Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Company also wishes to provide Executive with certain protections and benefits in the event of a Change in Control of the Company or the Bank, as provided in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:
1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
During the period of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. During said period, Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer and director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Failure to reelect Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer without the consent of Executive during the term of this Agreement shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
2. TERMS AND DUTIES
(a) The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall begin as of the date first above written and shall continue for thirty-six (36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing no later than December 31, 2006, and continuing no later than December 31st of each year thereafter (the "Anniversary Date"), this Agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be three (3) years unless written notice of non-renewal ("Non-Renewal Notice") is provided to Executive at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to any such Anniversary Date, that this Agreement shall terminate at the end of thirty-six (36) months following such Anniversary Date. Prior to each notice period for non-renewal, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board") will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and review of Executive for purposes of determining
whether to extend the Agreement, and the results thereof shall be included in the minutes of the Board's meeting.
(b) During the period of his employment hereunder, except for periods of absence occasioned by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence, Executive shall faithfully perform his duties hereunder including activities and services related to the organization, operation and management of the Company.
3. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT
(a) The compensation specified under this Agreement shall constitute the salary and benefits paid for the duties described in Section 2(b). In consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive hereunder, the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall pay Executive as compensation a salary of not less than __________________________ ($_______.00) per year ("Base Salary"). Such Base Salary shall be payable bi-weekly, or in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices. During the period of this Agreement, Executive's Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually; the first such review will be made no later than December 31 of each year during the term of this Agreement and shall be effective from the first day of the next calendar year. Such review shall be conducted by a Committee designated by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Bank (collectively the "Boards"), and the Boards may increase, but not decrease, Executive's Base Salary (any increase in Base Salary shall become the "Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement). In addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a), the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall provide Executive at no cost to Executive with all such other benefits as are provided uniformly to permanent full-time employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.
(b) The Company and/or its subsidiaries will provide Executive with employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which Executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior to the beginning of the term of this Agreement, and the Company and/or its subsidiaries will not, without Executive's prior written consent, make any changes in such plans, arrangements or perquisites which would adversely affect Executive's rights or benefits thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(b), Executive will be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any employee benefit plans including but not limited to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans, health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Company and/or its subsidiaries in the future to its senior executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and arrangements. Executive will be entitled to incentive compensation and bonuses as provided in any plan of the Company and/or its subsidiaries in which Executive is eligible to participate (and he shall be entitled to a pro rata distribution under any incentive compensation or bonus plan as to any year in which a termination of employment occurs, other than termination for Just Cause). Nothing paid to Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.
(c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by Section 3(a), the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in performing his obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.
4. OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES
Executive may serve as a member of the board of directors of business, community and charitable organizations subject to the approval of the Board, provided that in each case such service shall not materially interfere with the performance of his duties under this Agreement or present any conflict of interest. Such service to and participation in outside organizations shall be presumed for these purposes to be for the benefit of the Company, and the Company shall reimburse Executive his reasonable expenses associated therewith.
5. WORKING FACILITIES AND EXPENSES
Executive's principal place of employment shall be the Company's principal executive offices. The Company shall provide Executive, at his principal place of employment, with a private office, stenographic services and other support services and facilities suitable to his position with the Company and necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. The Company and/or its subsidiaries shall provide Executive with an automobile suitable to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and such automobile may be used by Executive in carrying out his duties under this Agreement and for his personal use such as commuting between his residence and his principal place of employment. The Company shall reimburse Executive for the cost of maintenance, use and servicing of such automobile. The Company shall reimburse Executive for his ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, fees for memberships in such clubs and organizations that Executive and the Board mutually agree are necessary and appropriate to further the business of the Company, and travel and reasonable entertainment expenses. Reimbursement of such expenses shall be made upon presentation to the Company of an itemized account of the expenses in such form as the Company may reasonably require.
6. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION
(a) The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined) during Executive's term of employment under this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, an "Event of Termination" shall mean and include any one or more of the following:
(i) the termination by the Company or the Bank of
Executive's full-time employment hereunder for any
reason other than (A) Disability (as defined in Section
7) or Retirement (as defined in Section 7 below), or (B)
termination for Just Cause (as defined in Section 8
below); or
(ii) Executive's resignation from the Bank's employ, upon any
(A) failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer,
(B) material change in Executive's functions,
duties, or responsibilities, which change would
cause Executive's position to become one of
lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from
the position and attributes thereof described in
Section 1, above,
(C) liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Bank other than liquidations or dissolutions that are caused by reorganizations that do not affect the status of Executive, or
(D) material breach of this Agreement by the Company.
Upon the occurrence of any event described in clauses (ii) (A), (B), (C) or (D), above, Executive shall have the right to elect to terminate his employment under this Agreement by resignation upon sixty (60) days prior written notice given within a reasonable period of time not to exceed four calendar months after the initial event giving rise to said right to elect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event of a continuing breach of this Agreement by the Company, Executive, after giving due notice within the prescribed time frame of an initial event specified above, shall not waive any of his rights solely under this Agreement and this Section by virtue of the fact that Executive has submitted his resignation but has remained in the employment of the Company and is engaged in good faith discussions to resolve any occurrence of an event described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) above.
(iii) The termination of Executive's employment by the
Company, or the Executive's voluntary resignation from
the Company's employ, at any time following a Change in
Control during the term of this Agreement. For these
purposes, a Change in Control of the Company or the Bank
shall mean a change in control of a nature that: (i)
would be required to be reported in response to Item
5.01 of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on
the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or
(ii) results in a Change in Control of the Bank or the
Company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company
Act, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "BHCA") as in
effect at the time of the Change in Control; or (iii)
without limitation such a Change in Control shall be
deemed to have occurred at such time as (a) any "person"
(as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing
25% or more of the combined voting power of Company's
outstanding securities, except for any securities
purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan or
trust; or (b) individuals who constitute the Board on
the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,
PROVIDED that any person becoming a director subsequent
to the date hereof whose election was approved by a
vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (c) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Bank or the Company or similar transaction in which the Bank or Company is not the surviving institution occurs or is implemented; or (d) a proxy statement soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company is distributed, by someone other than the current management of the Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company or similar transaction with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to the plan are exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Company; or (e) a tender offer is made for 25% or more of the voting securities of the Company and the shareholders owning beneficially or of record 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company have tendered or offered to sell their shares pursuant to such tender offer and such tendered shares have been accepted by the tender offeror. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred upon the conversion of the Company's mutual holding company parent to stock form, or in connection with any reorganization used to effect such a conversion.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, as defined in
Section 6(a)(i) or (ii), on the Date of Termination, as defined in Section 9(b),
the Company and/or its subsidiaries shall pay Executive, or, in the event of his
subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case
may be, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, an amount equal to
three (3) times Executive's Base Salary. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Termination, as defined in Section 6(a)(iii), on the Date of Termination, the
Company and/or its subsidiaries shall pay Executive, or, in the event of his
subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case
may be, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, a sum equal to three
(3) times the sum of (i) Executive's Base Salary and (ii) the highest rate of
bonus awarded to Executive during the prior three years. Payments hereunder
shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days (or if Code Section 409A is
applicable, on the first day of the seventh full month) following Executive's
termination of employment.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, as defined in
Section 6(a)(i), 6(a)(ii) or 6(a)(iii), the Company will cause to be continued,
at Company's sole expense, life, medical and dental coverage substantially
identical to the coverage maintained by the Company and/or the Bank for
Executive prior to his termination. Such coverage or payment shall continue for
thirty-six (36) months from the Date of Termination.
(d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6, in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the Executive under said paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of
the Code or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result,
Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an
amount equal to three (3) times the Executive's "base amount", as determined in
accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of the reduction required
hereby among Termination Benefits provided by the preceding paragraphs of this
Section 6 shall be determined by the Executive.
7. TERMINATION UPON RETIREMENT, DISABILITY OR DEATH
For purposes of this Agreement, termination by the Company of Executive's employment based on "Retirement" shall mean termination of Executive's employment by the Company upon attainment of age 65, or such later date as determined to by the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon termination of Executive's employment upon Retirement, Executive shall be entitled to all benefits under any retirement plan of the Company and other plans to which Executive is a party but shall not be entitled to the Termination Benefits specified in Section 6(b) through (c) hereof.
In the event Executive is unable to perform his duties under this Agreement on a full-time basis for a period of six (6) consecutive months by reason of illness or other physical or mental disability ("Disability"), the Company may terminate this Agreement, provided that the Company shall continue to be obligated to pay Executive his Base Salary for the remaining term of the Agreement, or one year, whichever is the longer period of time, and provided further that any amounts actually paid to Executive pursuant to any disability insurance or other similar such program which the Company has provided or may provide on behalf of its employees or pursuant to any workman's or social security disability program shall reduce the compensation to be paid to Executive pursuant to this paragraph.
In the event of Executive's death during the term of the Agreement, his estate, legal representatives or named beneficiaries (as directed by Executive in writing) shall be paid Executive's Base Salary as defined in Section 3(a) at the rate in effect at the time Executive's death for a period of one (1) year from the date of Executive's death, and the Company will continue to provide medical and dental coverage for Executive's family for one (1) year after Executive's death.
8. TERMINATION FOR JUST CAUSE
In the event that employment hereunder is terminated by the Company for
Just Cause, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after such termination, except as provided by law. The
phrase "Just Cause" as used herein, shall exist when there has been a good faith
determination by the Board that there shall have occurred one or more of the
following events with respect to the Executive: (i) the conviction of the
Executive of a felony or of any lesser criminal offense involving moral
turpitude; (ii) the willful commission by the Executive of a criminal or other
act that, in the judgment of the Board will likely cause substantial economic
damage to the Company or the Bank or substantial injury to the business
reputation of the Company or Bank; (iii) the commission by the Executive of an
act of fraud in the performance of his duties on behalf of the Company or Bank;
(iv) the continuing willful failure of the Executive to perform his duties to
the Company or Bank (other than any such
failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after written notice thereof (specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail) and a reasonable opportunity to be heard and cure such failure are given to the Executive by the Board; or (v) an order of a federal or state regulatory agency or a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Just Cause shall not be deemed to exist unless there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct described above and specifying the particulars thereof. Prior to holding a meeting at which the Board is to make a final determination whether Just Cause exists, if the Board determines in good faith at a meeting of the Board, by not less than a majority of its entire membership, that there is probable cause for it to find that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Just Cause as described above, the Board may suspend the Executive from his duties hereunder for a reasonable period of time not to exceed fourteen (14) days pending a further meeting at which the Executive shall be given the opportunity to be heard before the Board. For purposes of this subparagraph, no act or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith without reasonable believe that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and the Bank. Upon a finding of Just Cause, the Board shall deliver to the Executive a Notice of Termination, as more fully described in Section 9 below.
9. NOTICE
(a) Any purported termination by the Company or by Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's employment under the provision so indicated.
(b) "Date of Termination" shall mean (A) if Executive's employment is terminated for Disability, thirty (30) days after a Notice of Termination is given (provided that he shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), and (B) if his employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, except in the case of a termination for Just Cause, shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date such Notice of Termination is given). In the event of termination for Just Cause, termination shall be immediate upon the receipt of a Notice of Termination.
(c) If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination notifies the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, except upon the voluntary termination by Executive in which case the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in the Notice, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual written agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by a final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction (the time for appeal having expired and no appeal having been perfected) and provided further that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a notice of dispute only if such notice is given in good faith and the party giving such notice pursues the resolution of such dispute with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, except in the event of termination for Just Cause, the Bank will continue to pay Executive his full compensation in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, Base Salary) and continue Executive as a participant in all compensation, benefit and insurance plans in which he was participating when the notice of dispute was given, until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement, provided such dispute is resolved within the term of this Agreement. If such dispute is not resolved within the term of the Agreement, the Bank shall not be obligated, upon final resolution of such dispute, to pay Executive compensation and other payments accruing beyond the term of the Agreement. Amounts paid under this Section following Notice of Termination shall be offset against or reduce any other amounts due under this Agreement.
10. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS
(a) All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive's compliance with Section 10(b) during the term of this Agreement and for one (1) full year after the expiration or termination hereof.
(b) Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information and assistance to the Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank in connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party.
11. NON-COMPETITION
(a) Upon any termination of Executive's employment hereunder, other
than a termination (whether voluntary or involuntary) following a Change in
Control), as a result of which the Company is paying Executive benefits under
Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive agrees not to compete with the Bank
and/or the Company for a period of one (1) year following such termination
within twenty-five (25) miles of any existing branch of the Bank or any
subsidiary of the Company or within twenty-five (25) miles of any office for
which the Bank, the Company or a Bank subsidiary of the Company has filed an
application for regulatory approval to establish an office, determined as of the
effective date of such termination, except as agreed to pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board. Executive agrees that during such period and within
said area, cities, towns and counties, Executive shall not work for or advise,
consult or otherwise serve with, directly or indirectly, any entity whose
business materially competes with the depository, lending or other business
activities of the Bank and/or the Company. The parties hereto, recognizing that
irreparable injury will result to the Bank and/or the Company, its business and
property in the event of Executive's breach of this Subsection 11(a) agree that
in the event of any such breach by Executive, the Bank and/or the Company will
be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an
injunction to restrain the violation hereof by Executive, Executive's partners,
agents, servants, employers, employees and all persons acting for or with
Executive. Executive represents and admits that Executive's experience and
capabilities are such that Executive can obtain employment in a business engaged
in other lines and/or of a different nature than the Bank and/or the Company,
and that the
enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank and/or the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank and/or the Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.
(b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the business activities and plans for business activities of the Company and affiliates thereof, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the business of the Company. Executive will not, during or after the term of his employment, disclose any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Company or affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever (except for such disclosure as may be required to be provided to any federal banking agency with jurisdiction over the Company or Executive). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or economic principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the business plans and activities of the Company, and Executive may disclose any information regarding the Bank or the Company which is otherwise publicly available. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of this Section, the Company will be entitled to an injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Company or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person, firm, corporation, other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to the Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.
12. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS; NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
(a) All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent that payments and benefits, as provided by this Agreement, are paid to or received by Executive from the Bank, such compensation payments and benefits paid by the Bank will be subtracted from any amount due Executive under this Agreement. Payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Company and/or the Bank and shall be allocated in proportion to the level of activity and the time expended on such activities by Executive as determined by the Company and the Bank on a quarterly basis.
13. NO EFFECT ON EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS OR PROGRAMS
The termination of Executive's employment during the term of this Agreement or thereafter, whether by the Company or by Executive, shall have no effect on the vested rights of Executive under the Company's or the Bank's qualified or non-qualified retirement, pension, savings, thrift, profit-sharing or stock bonus plans, group life, health (including hospitalization, medical and major medical), dental, accident and long term disability insurance plans, or other employee benefit plans or programs, or compensation plans or programs in which Executive was a participant.
14. REQUIRED REGULATORY PROVISIONS
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any payments to Executive by the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and the regulations promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359.
(b) The Company may terminate the Executive's employment at any time and for any reason, but any termination by the Company, other than termination for Just Cause, shall not prejudice Executive's right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.
15. NO ATTACHMENT
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive and the Bank and their respective successors and assigns.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
(a) This instrument contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supercedes in its entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings or representations relating to the subject matter hereof. No modifications of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
(b) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(c) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived.
17. SEVERABILITY
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
18. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
19. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware but only to the extent not superseded by federal law.
20. ARBITRATION
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators, one of whom shall be selected by the Company, one of whom shall be selected by Executive and the third of whom shall be selected by the other two arbitrators. The panel shall sit in a location within fifty (50) miles from the location of the Company, in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Systems (JAMS) then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
21. PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES
All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been settled by Executive and the Company or resolved in Executive's favor.
22. INDEMNIFICATION
During the term of this Agreement and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Company shall provide Executive (including his heirs, executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors and officers liability insurance policy at its expense, and shall indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Company (whether or not he continues to be a director or officer at the time of incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities to include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys fees and the cost of reasonable settlements (such settlements must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company). If such action, suit or proceeding is brought against Executive in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company, however, such indemnification shall not extend to matters as to which Executive is finally adjudged to be liable for willful misconduct in the performance of his duties.
23. SUCCESSOR TO THE COMPANY
The Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Bank or the Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

WHEREAS, the Executive has been elected to, and has agreed to serve in the position of _______________for the Company, a position of substantial responsibility;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the contribution of the Executive, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT

Commencing on _______________, 2006 and continuing on ___________ of each year thereafter (the "Anniversary Date"), this Agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be two (2) years unless written notice of non-renewal ("Non-Renewal Notice") is provided to Executive at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to any such Anniversary Date, that this Agreement shall terminate at the end of twenty-four (24) months following such Anniversary Date.
2. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL
This Agreement provides for certain payments and benefits to Executive only in the event of Change in Control followed by a termination of Executive's services as described in this Agreement.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company or the
Bank (as herein defined) followed at any time during the term of this Agreement
by Executive's voluntary termination of employment in accordance with this
Section 2(a) or involuntary termination of the Executive's employment, other
than for Just Cause (as defined in Section 2(c) hereof), the provisions of
Section 3 shall apply. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive
shall have the right to elect to voluntarily terminate his employment at any
time during the term of this Agreement following a demotion, loss of title,
office or significant authority (in each case, other than as a result of the
fact that either the Bank or the Company is merged into another entity in
connection with the Change in Control and will not operate as a stand-alone,
independent entity), a reduction in his annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of his principal place of employment by more than 30 miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control.
(b) A "Change in Control" of the Company or the Bank shall mean a change in control of a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported in response to Item 5.01 of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a Change in Control of the Company or the Bank within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "BHCA") as in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or (iii) without limitation such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (a) any "person" (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Bank representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of Company's outstanding securities, except for any securities purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan or trust; or (b) individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, PROVIDED that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (c) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Bank or similar transaction in which the Company or Bank is not the surviving institution occurs; or (d) a proxy statement soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company, by someone other than the current management of the Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company or similar transaction with one or more corporations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to the plan are exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by the Company; or (e) a tender offer is made for 25% or more of the voting securities of the Company and the shareholders owning beneficially or of record 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company have tendered or offered to sell their shares pursuant to such tender offer and such tendered shares have been accepted by the tender offeror. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred upon the conversion of the Company's mutual holding company parent to stock form, or in connection with any reorganization used to effect such a conversion.
(c) Even if a Change in Control shall occur, the Executive shall not
have the right to receive termination benefits pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon
termination for Just Cause. The phrase "Just Cause" as used herein, shall exist
when there has been a good faith determination by the Board that there shall
have occurred one or more of the following events with respect to the Executive:
(i) the conviction of the Executive of a felony or of any lesser criminal
offense involving moral turpitude; (ii) the willful commission by the Executive
of a criminal or other act that, in the judgment of the Board will likely cause
substantial economic damage to the Company or the Bank or substantial injury to
the business reputation of the Company or Bank; (iii) the commission by the
Executive of an act of fraud in the performance of his duties on behalf of the
Company or Bank; (iv) the continuing willful failure of the Executive to perform his duties to the Company or Bank (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after written notice thereof (specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail) and a reasonable opportunity to be heard and cure such failure are given to the Executive by the Board; or (v) an order of a federal or state regulatory agency or a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the termination of the Executive's employment by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Just Cause shall not be deemed to exist unless there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the Executive was guilty of conduct described above and specifying the particulars thereof. Prior to holding a meeting at which the Board is to make a final determination whether Just Cause exists, if the Board determines in good faith at a meeting of the Board, by not less than a majority of its entire membership, that there is probable cause for it to find that the Executive was guilty of conduct constituting Just Cause as described above, the Board may suspend the Executive from his duties hereunder for a reasonable period of time not to exceed fourteen (14) days pending a further meeting at which the Executive shall be given the opportunity to be heard before the Board. For purposes of this subparagraph, no act or failure to act, on the Executive's part shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith without reasonable believe that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and the Bank. Upon a finding of Just Cause, the Board shall deliver to the Executive a Notice of Termination, as more fully described in Section 4 below.
3. TERMINATION
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the involuntary termination of the Executive's employment other than due to termination for Just Cause, or voluntary termination for one or more of the reasons set forth in Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as severance pay, a sum equal to two times the sum of (i) the highest rate of base salary, and (ii) highest rate of bonus awarded to the Executive during the prior three years, subject to applicable withholding taxes.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the Executive's involuntary termination of employment other than for termination for Just Cause, or voluntary termination for one or more of the reasons set forth in Section 2(a) hereof, the Company shall cause to be continued at no cost to Executive, life, medical and dental coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Company for the Executive prior to his severance. Such coverage and payments shall cease upon expiration of twenty-four months.
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive will have such rights as specified in any other employee benefit plan with respect to options and such other rights as may have been granted to the Executive under such plans.
(d) Any cash severance payments shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days (or, in the event Section 409A of the Code is applicable, on the first day of the seventh full month) of Executive's termination of employment. Such payments shall not be reduced in the event the Executive obtains other employment following termination of employment with the Company.
(e) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the Executive under said paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result, Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount (the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times the Executive's "base amount", as determined in accordance with said Section 280G. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among Termination Benefits provided by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3 shall be determined by the Executive.
4. NOTICE OF TERMINATION
Any purported termination by the Company or by the Executive shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the Date of Termination and, in the event of termination by the Executive, the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. "Date of Termination" shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination (which, in the case of a termination for Just Cause, shall be immediate). In no event shall the Date of Termination exceed 30 days from the date Notice of Termination is given.
5. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS
It is intended by the parties hereto that all payments provided in this
Agreement shall be paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Company,
provided, however, that in the event that the payment of any amounts due under
Section 3 above is made by the Bank, such payment shall offset the payment due
from the Company hereunder.
6. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS
This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement between the Company and the Executive, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to the Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that the Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.
7. NO ATTACHMENT
(a) Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge,
pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect.
(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Executive, the Company and their respective successors and assigns.
8. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
(a) This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
(b) No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.
9. REQUIRED PROVISIONS
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, any payments to Executive by the Company, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and the regulations promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359.
10. SEVERABILITY
If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision not held so invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect.
11. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY
The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
12. GOVERNING LAW
The validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a panel
of three arbitrators sitting in a location selected by the employee within fifty
(50) miles from the location of the Association, in accordance with the rules of
the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Systems (JAMS) then in
effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that subject to Section 3(c) hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
13. PAYMENT OF LEGAL FEES
All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by the Executive pursuant to any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company if the Executive is successful on the merits pursuant to a legal judgment, arbitration or settlement.
14. SUCCESSOR TO THE COMPANY
The Company shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all the business or assets of the Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company's obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.
15. OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY
The termination of Executive's employment, other than following a Change in Control, shall not result in any obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

INTRODUCTION
Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the "Mid-tier"), a Delaware corporation, is offering for sale shares of its common stock in connection with the reorganization of Magyar Bank (the "Bank") into the mutual holding company form of ownership. The shares being offered represent 44.20% of the shares of common stock of the Mid-tier that will be outstanding following the reorganization. We also intend to contribute 1.77% of the shares of the Mid-tier that will be outstanding following the reorganization, and $500,000 in cash to a charitable foundation established by the Bank, a New Jersey-chartered savings bank. After the stock offering, 54.03% of the Mid-tier outstanding shares of common stock will be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC (the "MHC"), the proposed New Jersey-chartered mutual holding company parent. The Mid-tier is the proposed holding company for the Bank. This report represents FinPro, Inc.'s ("FinPro") independent appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock (the "Common Stock") of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (hereafter referred to on a consolidated basis as the "Bank").
In compiling the pro formas, FinPro relied upon the assumptions provided by the Bank and its agents. The pro forma assumptions are as follows:
o 44.20% of the total shares will be sold to the depositors and
public,
o 1.77% of the total shares will be contributed to a charitable
foundation,
o cash equal to $500,000 will be contributed to a charitable
foundation,
o the stock will be issued at $10.00 per share,
o the conversion expenses will be $801 thousand at the midpoint,
o there will be an ESOP equal to 8.00% of the sum of the shares
sold plus the shares contributed to the foundation funded
internally, amortized over 30 years straight-line,
o there will be an MRP equal to 4.00% of the sum of the shares
sold plus the shares contributed to the foundation, amortized
over 5 years straight-line,
o there will be a Stock Option Plan equal to 10% of the sum of the
shares sold plus the shares contributed to the foundation,
expensed at $3.83 per option over 5 years straight-line,
o the tax rate is assumed at 40.00%, and
o the net proceeds will be invested at the three-year treasury
rate of 3.69%, pre-tax.
It is our understanding that the Bank will offer its stock in a subscription and community offering to Eligible Account Holders, to the Employee Plans and to Supplemental Eligible Account Holders of the Bank. This appraisal has been prepared in accordance with Regulation 563b.7 and the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") which have been adopted in practice by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), including the most recent revisions as of October 21, 1994, and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.
In the course of preparing our report, we reviewed the Bank's audited financials for the years ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004. We also reviewed the registration statement on Form S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We have conducted due diligence analysis of the Bank and held due diligence related discussions with the Bank's Management and Board, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. (the Bank's underwriter), and Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. (the Bank's special counsel). The valuation parameters set forth in the appraisal were predicated on these discussions but all conclusions related to the valuation were reached and made independent of such discussions.
Where appropriate, we considered information based upon other publicly available sources, which we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. We visited the Bank's primary market area and reviewed the market area's economic condition. We also reviewed the competitive environment in which the Bank operates and its relative strengths and weaknesses. We compared the Bank's performance with selected publicly traded thrift institutions. We reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and in the market for savings institutions in particular. Our analysis included a review of the estimated effects of the Conversion of the Bank on the operations and expected financial performance as they related to the Bank's estimated pro forma value.
In preparing our valuation, we relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of financial and other information provided to us by the Bank and its independent accountants. We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by the Bank and its independent accountants, nor did we independently value any of the Bank's assets or liabilities. This estimated valuation considers the Bank only as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of its liquidation value.
OUR VALUATION IS NOT INTENDED, AND MUST NOT BE CONSTRUED, TO BE A RECOMMENDATION OF ANY KIND AS THE ADVISABILITY OF PURCHASING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE STOCK ISSUANCE. MOREOVER, BECAUSE SUCH VALUATION IS NECESSARILY BASED UPON ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS OF A NUMBER OF MATTERS, ALL OF WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME, NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT PERSONS WHO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE STOCK ISSUANCE WILL THEREAFTER BE ABLE TO SELL SUCH SHARES AT PRICES RELATED TO THE FOREGOING VALUATION OF THE PRO FORMA MARKET VALUE THEREOF. FINPRO IS NOT A SELLER OF SECURITIES WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS. ANY REPORT PREPARED BY FINPRO SHALL NOT BE USED AS AN OFFER OR SOLICITATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF ANY SECURITIES.
The estimated valuation herein will be updated as appropriate. These updates will consider, among other factors, any developments or changes in the Bank's financial condition, operating performance, management policies and procedures and current conditions in the securities market for thrift institution common stock. Should any such developments or changes, in our opinion, be material to the estimated pro forma market value of the Bank, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained at that time.

The Bank's net income remained relatively constant between the twelve months ended September 30, 2001 to the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. Net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2004 declined $916 thousand from the net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. The decline was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to a $681 thousand increase in compensation expense, reflecting increased staffing levels and a $394 thousand increase in professional fees related to a system conversion.
The net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $465 thousand below the net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The decline in net income is attributable to a $1.7 million increase in noninterest expense and was largely offset by a $1.1 million increase in net interest income. The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to increased compensation expense. The increased compensation expense is attributable to new hirings and the severance paid to former senior executives. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in margin and an increase in the balance of interest earning assets. Excluding one-time charges the Bank's core net income was $505 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, which was $66 thousand below the net income posted for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. All of the adjustments to net income are detailed in Figure 18.

The net interest spread and margin increased between the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The increase is attributable to a higher yield on earning assets, which was partially offset by a higher cost of interest bearing liabilities. The increase in yield on earning assets was predominately a function of a shift in the asset mix from cash and securities to higher yielding loans.

3. COMPARISONS WITH PUBLICLY TRADED THRIFTS
This section presents an analysis of the Bank's operations against a selected group ("Comparable Group") of publicly traded Mutual Holding Companies ("MHCs"). The Comparable Group was selected based upon similarity of characteristics to the Bank. The Comparable Group multiples provide the basis for the valuation of the Bank.
Factors that influence the Bank's value such as balance sheet structure and size, profitability, income and expense trends, capital levels, credit risk, and recent operating results can be measured against the Comparable Group. The Comparable Group's current market pricing, coupled with the appropriate aggregate adjustment for differences between the Bank and the Comparable Group, will then be utilized as the basis for the pro forma valuation of the Bank's to-be-issued common stock.
The goal of the selection criteria process is to find those institutions with characteristics that most closely match those of the Bank. In an ideal world, all of the Comparable Group would contain the exact characteristics of the Bank. However, none of the Comparables selected will be exact clones of the Bank.
Based upon our experience, FinPro has determined that MHCs trade at materially different levels relative to fully converted thrifts due to the unique ownership structure. The primary differences between MHCs and fully converted institutions are that MHCs contain a minority interest and have the potential for a second step. In addition, MHCs have the potential for a remutualization transaction. Due to these differences, MHC trading multiples are substantially different than fully converted trading multiples. FinPro concluded that the appropriate Comparable Group should be comprised of liquidly traded MHCs.
As of the date of this appraisal, there are a total of 32 MHCs traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX. FinPro limited the Comparable Group to institutions whose common stock is listed on a major exchange, since these companies tend to trade regularly. FinPro believes that thrifts that trade over-the-counter or as pink sheets are inappropriate for the Comparable Group, due to irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads, which may skew the trading value and make trading multiples less reliable as an indicator of value.
To begin the screening process, FinPro excluded institutions that have recently converted, as the earnings of newly converted institutions do not reflect a full year's benefit from the reinvestment of proceeds, and thus the price/earnings multiples and return on equity measures for these institutions tend to be skewed upward and downward, respectively. As such, the 16 institutions that converted after June 30, 2005 were eliminated.
Of the remaining 16, FinPro then eliminated four of the institutions with assets in excess of $1.0 billion as these entities have greater financial and managerial resources, a broader branch network.
This results in a total of 12 Comparables. FinPro review the recent performance and news releases of these twelve companies and determined that all twelve were acceptable Comparables.

MHCs have different percentages of minority ownership. In order to adjust for this factor, all of the Comparables' pricing multiples are represented as if the MHC undertook a second step, based upon standardized assumptions. These multiples will be referred to as "fully converted" pricing multiples.
The members of the Comparable Group were reviewed against the Bank to ensure comparability based upon the following criteria:
1. Asset size
2. Profitability
3. Capital Level
4. Balance Sheet Mix
5. Operating Strategy
6. Date of conversion
1. ASSET SIZE The Comparable Group should have a similar asset size to the Bank. The Comparable Group ranged in size from $118.1 million to $848.2 million in total assets with a median of $348.7 million. The Bank's asset size was $325.1 million as of June 30, 2005. On a pro forma basis, the Bank's assets are projected to be $341.6 million at the midpoint of the estimated value range.
2. PROFITABILITY The Comparable Group had a median ROAA of 0.75% and a median ROAE of 4.67% for the last twelve months. The Comparable Group profitability measures had a dispersion about the mean for the ROAA measure ranging from a low of 0.13% to a high of 1.48%, while the ROAE measure ranged from a low of 2.28% to a high of 9.39%. The Bank had a core ROAA of 0.19% and a core ROAE of 2.36% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005. On a pro forma basis, the Bank's core ROAA and core ROAE are 0.20% and 1.54%, respectively.
3. CAPITAL LEVEL The Comparable Group had a median equity to assets ratio of 13.53% with a high of 27.61% and a low of 5.41%. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had an equity to assets ratio of
7.12%. On a pro forma basis, at the midpoint, the Bank would have an equity to assets ratio of 11.62%.
4. BALANCE SHEET MIX At June 30, 2005, the Bank had a net loan to asset ratio of 76.38%. The median loan to asset ratio for the Comparables was 56.03%, ranging from a low of 45.06% to a high of 84.60%. On the liability side, the Bank's deposit to asset ratio was 79.69% at June 30, 2005 while the Comparable median was 75.24%, ranging from 54.13% to 85.94%. The Bank's borrowing to asset ratio of 11.30% is above the Comparable median of 8.25%.
5. OPERATING STRATEGY An institution's operating characteristics are important because they determine future performance. Operational strategy also affects expected rates of return and investor's general perception of the quality, risk and attractiveness of a given company. Specific operating characteristics include profitability, balance sheet growth, asset quality, capitalization and non-financial factors such as management strategies and lines of business.
6. DATE OF CONVERSION Recent conversions, those completed on or after June 30, 2004, were excluded since the earnings of a newly converted institution do not reflect the reinvestment of conversion proceeds. Additionally, new issues tend to trade at a discount to the market averages.
The following table represents key financial indicators for the Bank and the Comparable Group.

4. MARKET VALUE DETERMINATION
The estimated pro forma market value of the Bank, along with certain adjustments to its value relative to market values for the Comparable Group are delineated in this section. The adjustments are made from potential investors' viewpoint and are adjustments necessary when comparing the Bank to the Comparable Group. The adjustment factors are subjectively weighed using the appraiser's knowledge and expertise and an aggregate adjustment is determined. Potential investors include depositors holding subscription rights and unrelated parties who may purchase stock in the community offering and who are assumed to be aware of all relevant and necessary facts as they pertain to the value of the Bank relative to other publicly traded thrift institutions and relative to alternative investment opportunities.
There are numerous criteria on which the market value adjustments are based. The major criteria utilized for purposes of this report include:
ADJUSTMENTS RELATIVE TO THE COMPARABLE GROUP:
o Financial Condition
o Balance Sheet Growth
o Earnings Quality, Predictability and Growth
o Market Area
o Cash Dividends
o Liquidity of the Issue
o Recent Regulatory Matters
ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER FACTORS:
o Management
o Subscription Interest
To ascertain the market value of the Bank, the median trading multiple values for the Comparable Group are utilized as the starting point. The adjustment, up or down, to the Comparable Group median multiple values is made based on the comparison of the Bank to the Comparable Group.
The balance sheet strength of an institution is an important market value determinant, as the investment community considers such factors as cash liquidity, capitalization, asset composition, funding mix, intangible levels and interest rate risk in assessing the attractiveness of investing in the common stock of a thrift. The following figures summarize the key financial elements of the Bank measured against the Comparable Group.

The Bank's asset mix is stronger than the Comparable Group's mix. The Bank has a higher level of deposits and borrowings as a percentage of assets relative to the Comparable Group. The Bank has lower capital levels and at the midpoint of the range will have lower capital levels after the reorganization. The Bank has a higher level of NPLs and NPAs, but also has a higher level of reserves as a percentage of loans relative to the Comparable levels. Taken collectively, modest upward adjustment is warranted for financial condition.
The Bank's assets, loans and deposits have grown substantially faster than the Comparable Group.

The earnings quality, predictability and growth are critical components in the establishment of market values for thrifts. Thrift earnings are primarily a function of:
o net interest income
o loan loss provision
o non-interest income
o non-interest expense
The quality and predictability of earnings is dependent on both internal and external factors. Some internal factors include the mix of the balance sheet, the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet, the asset quality, and the infrastructure in place to deliver the assets and liabilities to the public. External factors include the competitive market for both assets and liabilities, the global interest rate scenario, local economic factors and regulatory issues.
Investors are focusing on earnings sustainability as interest rate volatility has caused a wide variation in income levels. With the intense competition for both assets and deposits, banks cannot easily replace lost spread and margin with balance sheet growth.
Each of these factors can influence the earnings of an institution, and each of these factors is volatile. Investors prefer stability and consistency. As such, solid, consistent earnings are preferred to high but risky earnings. Investors also prefer earnings to be diversified and not entirely dependent on interest income.
The Bank's net income remained relatively constant between the twelve months ended September 30, 2001 to the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. Net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2004 declined $916 thousand from the net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2003. The decline was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense. The $1.3 million increase was primarily attributable to a $681 thousand increase in compensation expense, reflecting increased staffing levels and a $394 thousand increase in professional fees related to a system conversion.
The net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $465 thousand below the net income for the nine ended June 30, 2004. The decline in net income is attributable to a $1.7 million increase in noninterest expense and was largely offset by a $1.1 million increase in net interest income. The increase in noninterest expense is attributable to increased compensation expense. The increased compensation expense is attributable to new hirings and the severance paid to former senior executives. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in margin and an increase in the balance of interest earning assets. Excluding one-time charges the Bank's core net income was $505 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, which was $66 thousand below the net income posted for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. All of the adjustments to net income are detailed in Figure 18.

Note: The data for cost of funds and spread are not meaningful due to the lack of Comparable Data.
The Bank has a 1 basis point disadvantage in net margin. Additionally, the Bank has a 15 basis point disadvantage in noninterest income. These differences are compounded by a 58 basis point disadvantage in noninterest expense.
The Bank's efficiency ratio of 90.24% is below the Comparable median of 68.12%.
On a forward looking basis, after the conversion the Bank's operating expenses are expected to rise as a result of the stock benefit plans and additional costs of being a public company. At the same time, the Bank will have additional capital to deploy and leverage.

The Bank is less profitable than the Comparables on a ROAA and ROAE basis. The Bank's earnings composition is weaker than the Comparable Group as the Bank has a lower net margin, lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expense. The Bank's earnings have fluctuated. Taken collectively, a strong downward adjustment is warranted for this factor.
The market area that an institution serves has a significant impact on value, as future success is interrelated with the economic, demographic and competitive aspects of the market. The location of an institution will have an impact on the trading value of an institution, as many analysts compare the pricing of institutions relative to a state or regional multiples in investor presentations.
The following figure compares the demographic and competitive data for the counties serviced by the Bank, to the county data of the Comparable Group members.

The Bank's market area has grown and is projected to continue to grow at a faster rate than the Comparable Group's markets. The Bank's markets have higher population density. Unemployment levels are lower in the Bank's markets. Household income levels are higher in the Bank's markets, but are projected to grow at a rate slower than the Comparables. However, the attractive markets have drawn a higher level of competition based on the lower population per branch in the Bank's markets. Based upon these factors, a moderate upward adjustment is warranted for market area.
The last few years have seen yet another shift away from dividend policies concurrent with conversion. Recent issues have been fully or oversubscribing without the need for the additional enticement of dividends. After the conversion is another issue, however. Pressures on ROAE and on internal rate of returns to investors prompted the industry toward cash dividends. This trend is exacerbated by the lack of growth potential. Typically, when institutions are in a growth mode, they issue stock dividends or do not declare a dividend. When growth is stunted, these institutions shift toward reducing equity levels and thus utilize cash dividends as a tool in managing equity. Recent tax code changes have made cash dividends more attractive to investors.

All Comparable institutions had declared cash dividends. The median dividend payout ratio for the Comparable Group was 86.94%, ranging from a high of 312.50% to a low of 61.11%. The Bank, on a pro forma basis (at the mid point of the value range) will have an equity to assets ratio of 11.62%. The Bank will have adequate capital and profits to pay cash dividends.
The Bank will have a bank holding company and the MHC will not be able to waive dividends under current Federal Reserve Board policy, unlike eleven of the twelve OTS regulated holding companies in the Comparable Group. Thus, the Bank will pay out a greater proportion of earnings under its dividend policy than the Comparable Group will. The higher payout ratio limits the Bank's dividend yield and leveraging capacity.
As such, a slight downward is necessary for this factor.
The Comparable Group is by definition composed only of companies that trade in the public markets with all of the Comparables trading on NASDAQ or AMEX. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and the market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a given stock. The actual liquidity can be measured by volume traded over a given period of time.

The market capitalization values of the Comparable Group range from a low of $25.3 million to a high of $310.4 million with a median market capitalization of $81.3 million. The Bank expects to have $44.8 million of market capital at the midpoint on a pro forma basis. It is expected that the Bank will trade on NASDAQ along with ten of the twelve Comparables.
A moderate downward adjustment for this factor appears warranted, due to the lower pro forma level of market capitalization and expected liquidity, relative to the Comparables.
Regulatory matters influence the market for thrift conversions. The Bank will operate in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Comparable Group. The only material difference is that the federally regulated Comparables have the ability to waive dividends to the MHC. This factor was addressed in the cash dividends section.
Taken collectively, no adjustment for this factor is warranted as both the Bank and the Comparables will operate in the same ownership structure and will be supervised in the same regulatory environment.
5. OTHER FACTORS
Although the Bank has new management team, the current team was hired from within the institution and has considerable banking experience. The Bank's organizational chart is reasonable for an institution of its size and complexity. The Board is active and oversees and advises on all key strategic and policy decisions and holds the management to high performance standards.
As such, no adjustment appears to be warranted for this factor.
The pro forma price to fully converted book multiple of MHC conversions rose from 2003 to 2005 YTD.

Taken collectively, FinPro is of the opinion that, a discount should be applied to the Bank's market value.
6. VALUATION
In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the regulators,
i.e., the pro forma market value approach, three key pricing multiples were
considered. The four multiples include:
Price to core earnings ("P/E")
Price to book value ("P/B") / Price to tangible book value ("P/TB")
Price to assets ("P/A")
All of the approaches were calculated on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds. All of the assumptions utilized are presented in Exhibits 9 through13.
To ascertain the pro forma estimated market value of the Bank, the market multiples for the Comparable Group were utilized. As a secondary check, all New Jersey public thrifts, all publicly traded thrifts and the recent (2003 to date) and historical MHC conversions were assessed. The multiples for the Comparable Group, all publicly traded MHC, and New Jersey MHC thrifts are shown in Exhibit 7.
PRICE TO EARNINGS - According to the Appraisal Guidelines: "When both the converting institution and the comparable companies are recording "normal" earnings. A P/E approach may be the simplest and most direct method of valuation. When earnings are low or negative, however, this approach may not be appropriate and the greater consideration should be given to the P/BV approach." In this particular case, the Bank's earnings are "normal". As a basis for comparison, the price to core earnings was utilized for both the Bank and the Comparable Group to eliminate any nonrecurring items. As such, this approach was considered in this appraisal.
In the pro forma figures for the Bank, FinPro incorporated the impact of SFAS 123, which requires the expensing of stock options. In preparing the fully converted pro forma figures for the Comparable Group, FinPro also incorporated the impact of SFAS 123.
PRICE TO BOOK/PRICE TO TANGIBLE BOOK - According to the Appraisal Guidelines: "The P/BV approach works best when the converting institution and the Comparables have a normal amount of book value. The P/BV approach could seriously understate the value of an institution that has almost no book value but has an outstanding future earnings potential. For converting institutions with high net worth, the appraiser may have difficulty in arriving at a pro forma market value because of pressure placed on the P/E multiple as higher P/BV levels are required to reflect a similar P/BV ratio as the peer group average. The P/BV approach also suffers from the use of historical cost accounting data."
Since thrift earnings in general have had a high degree of volatility over the past decade, the P/B is utilized frequently as the benchmark for market value. A better approach is the P/TB approach. In general, investors tend to price financial institutions on a tangible book basis, because it incorporates the P/B approach adjusted for intangibles. Initially following conversion, FinPro believes that thrifts often trade on a price to tangible book basis.
PRICE TO ASSETS - According to the Appraisal Guidelines: "This approach remedies the problems of a small base that can occur with the P/BV approach, but the approach has many of the other limitations of the latter approach (the P/BV approach)." FinPro places little weight on this valuation approach due to the lack of consideration of asset and funding mixes and the resulting earnings impact.
Based upon the adjustment defined in the section above, the Bank is pricing at the midpoint as if fully converted is estimated to be $44,000,000. Based upon a range below and above the midpoint value, the relative values are $37,400,000 at the minimum and $50,600,000 at the maximum respectively. At the super maximum of the range, the offering value would be $58,190,000.
At the various levels of the estimated value range, the full offering would result in the following offering data:

We believe that the discount on a tangible book basis is appropriate relative to the Comparable Group. This range was confirmed by our analysis of other filed and pending MHC offerings as secondary checks.
It is, therefore, FinPro's opinion that as of September 2, 2005, the estimated pro forma market value of the Bank in a full offering was $44,000,000 at the midpoint of a range with a minimum of $37,400,000 to a maximum of $50,600,000 at 15% below and 15% above the midpoint of the range respectively. Assuming an adjusted maximum value of 15% above the maximum value, the adjusted maximum value or super maximum value in a full offering is $58,190,000. The share issued to the foundation will be funded using authorized be unissued shares. Including the shares issued to the foundation, the valuation range is $38,073,200, $44,792,000, $51,510,800, and $59,237,420 at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and super maximum, respectively.
Using the pro forma market values for a full offering shown above, the amount of stock publicly offered as part of the MHC reorganization issuing 44.20% will equal 1,683,000 shares, 1,980,000 shares, 2,277,000 shares and 2,618,550 shares at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and super maximum, respectively. Additionally, the Bank will issue 67,320, 79,200, 91,080, and 104,742 shares to the charitable foundation at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and super maximum, respectively.
The document represents an initial valuation for the Bank. Due to the duration of time that passes between the time this document is compiled and the time the offering closes, numerous factors could lead FinPro to update or revise the appraised value of the Bank. Some factors that could lead FinPro to adjust the appraised value include: (1) changes in the Bank's operations and financial condition; (2) changes in the market valuation or financial condition of the Comparable Group; (3) changes in the broader market; and (4) changes in the market for thrift conversions. Should there be material changes to any of these factors, FinPro will prepare an appraisal update to appropriately adjust the value of the Bank. At the time of closing, FinPro will prepare a final appraisal to determine if the valuation range is still appropriate and determine the exact valuation amount appropriate for the Bank.

Board of Directors

New Brunswick, NJ 08903
Dear Board Members:
All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter have the meanings given such terms in Magyar Bank's (the "Bank") Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plan") adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Bank, a New Jersey chartered mutual savings bank. As part of the Plan, Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), the Delaware chartered mid-tier holding company of the Bank, will issue 44.20% of its outstanding common stock to the public and 1.77% of its outstanding common stock to a charitable foundation. The remaining 54.03% of the common stock of the Company will be owned by Magyar Bancorp, MHC, a New Jersey chartered mutual holding company.
We understand that in accordance with the Plan, subscription rights to purchase
shares of the common stock are to be issued to (i) Eligible Account Holders;
(ii) Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans including the employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"); (iii) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders; and (iv)
Voting Depositors (together collectively referred to as the "Recipients"). Based
solely on our observation that the subscription rights will be available to such
Recipients without cost, will be legally non-transferable and of short duration,
and will afford the Recipients the right only to purchase shares of common stock
at the same price as will be paid by members of the general public in the
Community Offering, if any, but without undertaking any independent
investigation of state or federal law or the position of the Internal Revenue
Service with respect to this issue, we are of the belief that:
(1) the subscription rights will have no ascertainable market value; and
(2) the price at which the subscription rights are exercisable will not be more or less than the pro forma market value of the shares upon issuance.
Changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the Company's value alone. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that persons who subscribe to shares

of common stock in the Subscription Offering will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at the same price paid in the Subscription Offering.
Very Truly Yours,
