1.	Introduction

This Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan, dated as of September 8, 2021 (the “Plan”), provides for the reorganization of Colonial Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) from a federally chartered mutual savings bank into the mutual holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) under the laws of the United States of America and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), and other applicable requirements. The mutual holding company (the “MHC”) will be a mutually owned federal corporation, and all of the current ownership and voting rights of the Members of the Bank will be transferred to the MHC. As part of the Reorganization and the Plan, the Bank will convert to a federal stock savings bank (the “Stock Bank”), and a stock holding company (the “Holding Company”) will be established as a federal corporation and a majority-owned subsidiary of the MHC at all times so long as the MHC remains in existence. Concurrently with the Reorganization, the Holding Company intends to offer for sale up to 49.9% of its Common Stock in the Stock Offering. The Holding Company will offer shares of Common Stock for sale on a priority basis to depositors of the Bank and the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans of the Bank, with any remaining shares offered for sale to the public in a Community Offering, a Syndicated Community Offering, or a Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering, or a combination thereof. The Reorganization, Stock Offering and issuance of Common Stock will be conducted in accordance with the Federal Reserve’s Regulation MM, 12 C.F.R. Part 239, the Securities Act of 1933 and the regulations of the SEC thereunder, and other applicable regulatory requirements.

The primary purpose of the Reorganization is to establish a stock holding company, which will enable the Bank to compete more effectively in the financial services marketplace. The Reorganization will permit the Holding Company to issue Common Stock, which is a source of capital not available to mutual savings banks. Since the Holding Company will not offer all of its Common Stock for sale in the Stock Offering, the Reorganization will result in less capital raised in comparison to a standard mutual-to-stock conversion. The mutual holding company structure resulting from the Reorganization, however, will also permit the Bank to raise additional capital since a majority of the Holding Company’s Common Stock (the common stock held by the MHC) will be available for sale in the future. The mutual holding company structure will also provide the Bank with greater flexibility to structure and finance the expansion of its operations, including the potential acquisition of other financial institutions. Lastly, the Reorganization will enable the Bank to better manage its capital by (i) providing broader acquisition and investment opportunities through the holding company structure, (ii) enabling the Holding Company to distribute capital to stockholders in the form of dividends, and (iii) enabling the Holding Company to repurchase its common stock as market conditions warrant. Although the Reorganization and Stock Offering will create a stock savings bank and stock holding company, only a minority of the Common Stock will be offered for sale in the Stock Offering. As a result, the Bank’s mutual form of ownership and its ability to remain an independent community savings bank will be preserved through the mutual holding company structure. The Reorganization is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Reserve and the OCC, and must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by Members.

In furtherance of the Bank’s commitment to its community, this Plan provides for a contribution of Holding Company Common Stock and/or cash, subject to regulatory limitations, to the Foundation. The funding of the Foundation is intended to enhance the Bank’s existing community reinvestment activities in a manner that will allow the Bank’s local communities to share in the growth and profitability of the Holding Company and the Bank over the long term.

The Plan has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Plan must also be approved by the Members of the Bank at a Special Meeting of Members to be called for that purpose by at least a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by Voting Members of the Bank. Each Voting Member will be entitled to cast one vote for each $100 or fraction thereof of deposits in the Bank on the Voting Record Date. No Voting Member may cast more than 1,000 votes at the Special Meeting.

To vote on or to direct the conduct of the operations or other significant policies of the Bank or the Holding Company.

(2)

Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (1) above, 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 Bank, or the payment of dividends by the Bank when preferred dividends are in arrears;

Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (1) and (2) above, “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.

3.	The Reorganization

Organization of the Holding Companies and the Bank

As part of the Reorganization, the Bank will amend its charter to become the MHC, and the Holding Company and the Stock Bank will be established as federal corporations. The Reorganization will be effected as follows, or in any other manner approved by the Bank Regulators that is consistent with the purposes of this Plan and applicable laws and regulations:

(i)

the Bank will organize Interim Bank and transfer all of its assets and liabilities, except up to $100,000 in cash, to Interim Bank, which will become the Stock Bank;

(ii)

the Bank will amend its charter and bylaws to read in the form of a federal mutual holding company and will become the MHC;

(iii)

the MHC will organize the Holding Company as a wholly owned subsidiary, and transfer $1,000 to the Holding Company in exchange for 100 shares of Common Stock; and

(iv)

the MHC will transfer all of the initially issued stock of the Stock Bank to the Holding Company in exchange for additional shares of Common Stock, and the Stock Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company.

The transfer of assets and liabilities from the Bank to Interim Bank shall not occur until Interim Bank has received FDIC approval for insurance of accounts and the FDIC has issued Interim Bank an insurance certificate number. Contemporaneously with the Reorganization, the Holding Company will offer for sale in the Stock Offering shares of Common Stock representing less than 50% of the pro forma market value of the Holding Company and the Bank.

Upon consummation of the Reorganization, substantially all of the assets and liabilities (including the savings accounts, demand accounts, tax and loan accounts, United States Treasury General Accounts, or United States Treasury Time Deposit Open Accounts, as defined in the Regulations) of the Bank shall become the assets and liabilities of the Stock Bank, which will thereupon become an operating savings bank subsidiary of the Holding Company and of the MHC. The Bank will apply to the Bank Regulators to have the Holding Company receive or retain (as the case may be) up to 50% of the net proceeds of the Stock Offering, or such other amount as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Stock Bank may distribute additional capital to the Holding Company following the Reorganization, subject to the applicable requirements set forth in the Regulations governing capital distributions.

Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the legal existence of the Bank will not terminate, but the MHC will be a continuation of the Bank, provided that all property of the Bank, including its right, title, and interest in and to all of its property and assets of every conceivable value or benefit then existing or pertaining to the Bank, or which would inure to the Bank will be transferred to the Stock Bank, except for up to $100,000 in cash. All assets, rights, obligations and liabilities of whatever nature of the Bank that are not expressly retained by the MHC shall be deemed transferred to 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 assets, rights, liabilities and obligations of the Bank and will maintain its headquarters and operations at the Bank’s present locations.

Effect on Deposit Accounts and Borrowings

Each deposit account in the Bank on the Effective Date will remain a deposit account in the Stock Bank in the same amount and upon the same terms and conditions, and will continue to be federally insured up to the legal maximum by the FDIC in the same manner as the deposit account existed in the Bank immediately prior to the Reorganization. Upon consummation of the Reorganization, all loans and other 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.

The Stock Bank

Upon completion of the Reorganization, the Stock Bank will be authorized to exercise any and all powers, rights and privileges of, and will be subject to all limitations applicable to, capital stock savings associations under federal law. A copy of the proposed charter and bylaws of the Stock Bank is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part of this Plan. The Reorganization will not result in any reduction of the amount of retained earnings (other than the assets of the Bank retained by or distributed to the Holding Company or the MHC), undivided profits, and general loss reserves that the Bank had prior to the Reorganization. The retained

earnings and general loss reserves will be accounted for by the MHC, the Holding Company and the Stock Bank on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The initial members of the Board of Directors of the Stock Bank will be the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank immediately prior to consummation of the Reorganization. Thereafter, the 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 Stock Bank will be wholly owned by the Holding Company. The Holding Company will be wholly owned by its stockholders who will consist of the MHC and the persons who purchase Common Stock in the Stock Offering and any subsequent Minority Stock Offering. Upon the Effective Date of the Reorganization, the voting and membership rights of Members will be transferred to the MHC, subject to the conditions specified below.

The Holding Company

The Holding Company will be authorized to exercise any and all powers, rights and privileges, and will be subject to all limitations applicable to savings and loan holding companies and mutual holding companies under federal law and regulations. The initial members of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company will be the existing members of the Board of Directors of the Bank immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. Thereafter, the voting stockholders of the Holding Company will elect approximately one-third of the Holding Company’s directors annually. A copy of the proposed charter and bylaws of the Holding Company is attached as Exhibit B and made part of this Plan.

The Holding Company will have the power to issue shares of Capital Stock to persons other than the MHC. However, so long as the MHC is in existence, the MHC will be required to own at least a majority of the Voting Stock of the Holding Company. The Holding Company will be authorized to undertake one or more Minority Stock Offerings of less than 50% in the aggregate of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Holding Company, and the Holding Company intends to offer for sale up to 49.9% of its Common Stock in the Stock Offering.

The Mutual Holding Company

As a mutual corporation, the MHC will have no stockholders. The members of the MHC will have exclusive voting authority as to all matters requiring a vote of members under the charter of the MHC. Persons who have membership rights with respect to the Bank under its existing charter immediately prior to the Reorganization shall continue to have such rights solely with respect to the MHC after the Reorganization so long as such persons remain depositors of the Bank after the Reorganization. In addition, all persons who become depositors of the Stock Bank following the Reorganization will have membership rights with respect to the MHC. The rights and powers of the MHC will be defined by the MHC’s charter and bylaws (a copy of which is attached to this Plan as Exhibit C and made a part hereof) and by the statutory and regulatory provisions applicable to savings and loan holding companies and mutual holding companies. In particular, the MHC will be subject to the limitations and restrictions imposed on savings and loan holding companies by Section 10(o)(5) of the HOLA.

The initial members of the Board of Directors of the MHC will be the existing members of the Board of Directors of the Bank immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. Thereafter, approximately one-third of the directors of the MHC will be elected annually by the members of the MHC who will consist of the Members of the Bank immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization and all persons who become depositors of the Bank after the Reorganization.

4.	Conditions to Implementation of the Reorganization

Consummation of the Reorganization is expressly conditioned upon the following:

Approval of the Plan by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Bank.

The filing of the Notice, including the Plan, with the Federal Reserve and either:

(i)

The Federal Reserve has given written notice of its intent not to disapprove the Reorganization; or

(ii)

Sixty days have passed since the Federal Reserve received the Notice and deemed it complete under 12 CFR § 239.10(e) and/or 12 CFR § 238.14(g) of the Federal Reserve regulations, and the Federal Reserve has not given written notice that the Reorganization is disapproved or extended for an additional 30 days the period during which disapproval may be issued.

The filing of a Holding Company Application with the Federal Reserve pursuant to the HOLA for the Holding Company and MHC to become mutual savings and loan holding companies by owning or acquiring 100% of the common stock of the Stock Bank in the case of the Holding Company, and a majority of the Common Stock in the case of the MHC, and the approval of such Holding Company Application by the Federal Reserve.

Submission of the Plan to the Members for approval pursuant to a proxy statement and form of proxy cleared in advance by the Bank Regulators, and such Plan is approved by a majority of the total votes of the Voting Members eligible to be cast at a meeting held at the call of the directors in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Bank’s charter and bylaws.

All necessary approvals and non-objections have been obtained from the Bank Regulators in connection with the adoption of the charter and bylaws of the MHC, the Holding Company and the Stock Bank, the issuance of deposit insurance and a certificate number by the FDIC to the Stock Bank and the transfer of assets and liabilities of the Bank to the Stock Bank pursuant to the Plan (or, alternatively, the conversion of the Bank to a stock charter); and all conditions specified or otherwise imposed by the Bank Regulators, in connection with their approvals and/or non-objections, have been satisfied.

5.	Special Meeting of Members

Subsequent to the approval of the Plan by the Bank Regulators, the Special Meeting shall be scheduled in accordance with the Bank’s bylaws. Promptly after receipt of approval and at least 20 days but not more than 45 days prior to the Special Meeting, the Bank shall distribute proxy solicitation materials to all Voting Members. The proxy solicitation materials shall include a proxy statement and other documents authorized for use by the applicable Bank Regulators. A copy of the Plan will be made available to Voting Members upon request. Pursuant to the Regulations, the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the Voting Members is required for approval of the Plan. Voting may be in person or by proxy. The Bank Regulators shall be notified promptly of the actions of the Voting Members.

6.	Rights of Members of the MHC

Following the Reorganization, all persons who had membership rights with respect to the Bank as of the date of the Reorganization will continue to have such rights solely with respect to the MHC as long as they remain depositors of the Bank. All existing proxies granted by members of the Bank to the Board of Directors of the Bank shall automatically become proxies granted to the Board of Directors of the MHC. In addition, all persons who become depositors of the Stock Bank subsequent to the Reorganization also will have membership rights with respect to the MHC. In each case, no person who ceases to be the holder of a deposit account with the Stock Bank after the Reorganization shall have any membership or other rights with respect to the MHC.

7.	Conversion of MHC to Stock Form

Following the completion of the Reorganization, the MHC may elect to convert to stock form in accordance with applicable laws. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur.

In a Conversion Transaction, it is expected that the MHC would merge with and into the Holding Company with the Holding Company as the resulting entity, followed by the merger of the Holding Company with and into a new stock holding company with the new stock holding company as the resulting entity. Depositors of the Stock Bank would receive the right to subscribe for shares of common stock of the new stock holding company, which shares would represent the ownership interest of the MHC in the Holding Company immediately prior to the Conversion Transaction. The additional shares of Common stock of the new 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 must 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 new stock holding company after the Conversion Transaction as their percentage ownership interest in the Holding Company immediately prior to the Conversion Transaction (i.e., the “Minority Ownership Interest”), subject to adjustment, if any, required by the Bank Regulators to reflect assets of the MHC and any dividends waived by the MHC.

At the sole discretion of the Boards of Directors of the MHC and the 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 other than as set forth in this Plan. If a Conversion Transaction does not occur, the MHC will always own a majority of the Voting Stock of the Holding Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank has no current intention to conduct a Conversion Transaction.

A Conversion Transaction would require the approval of the Federal Reserve and would be presented to a vote of the members of the MHC and the stockholders of the Holding Company, including the MHC. Federal regulations require that in any Conversion Transaction the members of the MHC will be accorded the same stock purchase priorities as if the MHC were a mutual savings bank converting to stock form.

8.	Timing of the Reorganization and Sale of Capital Stock

The Bank intends to consummate the Reorganization as soon as feasible following the receipt of all approvals referred to in Section 4 of this Plan. Subject to the approval of the Bank Regulators, the Holding Company intends to commence the Stock Offering concurrently with the proxy solicitation of Members. The Holding Company may close the Stock Offering before the Special Meeting, provided that the offer and sale of the Common Stock shall be conditioned upon approval of the Plan by the Members at the Special Meeting. Subject to Bank Regulator approval, the Bank’s proxy solicitation materials may permit certain Members to return to the Bank by a reasonable date certain a postage paid card or other written communication requesting receipt of the prospectus if the prospectus is not mailed concurrently with the proxy solicitation materials. The Stock Offering shall be conducted in compliance with the Regulations, including 12 CFR § 239.24 and § 239.25 of the Federal Reserve’s Regulation MM and the securities offering regulations of the SEC.

9.	Number of Shares to be Offered

The total number of shares (or range thereof) of Common Stock to be issued and offered for sale pursuant to the Plan shall be determined initially by the Boards of Directors of the Bank and the 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 MHC at the close of the Stock Offering must be less than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

10.

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 Holding Company on the basis of the estimated pro forma market value of the Holding Company and the Bank. The aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock will be consistent with the market value of the Holding Company and the Bank. The pro forma market value of the 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 by the Board of Directors of the Holding Company at the time of the Stock Offering and consistent with applicable requirements set forth in the Regulations. The 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 MHC may be increased or decreased by the Holding Company, taking into consideration any change in the independent valuation and other factors, at the discretion of the Boards of Directors of the Bank and the Holding Company.

Based upon the independent valuation as updated prior to the commencement of the Stock Offering, the Board of Directors may establish the minimum and maximum percentage of shares of Common Stock that will be offered for sale in the Stock Offering, or it 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 Holding Company and (y) the purchase price per share, divided by (b) the aggregate pro forma market value of the Bank and the 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 Holding Company, the Bank and to the Bank Regulators, that, to the best knowledge of the Independent Appraiser, nothing of a material nature has occurred that, 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 Holding Company and the Bank. If such confirmation is not received, the 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 the Bank Regulators may permit.

The estimated market value of the Holding Company and the Bank shall be determined for such purpose by an Independent Appraiser on the basis of such appropriate factors as are not inconsistent with the applicable Regulations. The Common Stock to be issued in the Stock Offering shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

11.

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) Other Members, pursuant to priorities established by the Board of Directors. Any shares of Common Stock that are not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering may at the discretion of the Bank and the Holding Company be offered for sale in a Community Offering, Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering. The minimum purchase by any Person shall be 25 shares. The Holding Company shall determine in its sole discretion whether each prospective purchaser

is a Resident, Associate, or Acting in Concert as defined in the Plan, and shall interpret all other provisions of the Plan in its sole discretion. All such determinations are in the sole discretion of the Holding Company, and may be based on whatever evidence the Holding Company chooses to use in making any such determination.

If there is a Community Offering, Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten 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, Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering shall be the Actual Purchase Price that 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, Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering will be subject to the same limitations as shares sold in the Subscription Offering.

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 $100,000, one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) 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 12; provided that the 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 12. 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 total allocation equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares subscribed for. 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 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 increased 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 4.9% of the shares issued and outstanding following the completion of the Stock Offering. 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 Holding Company subject to the maximum purchase limitations applicable to such plans as set forth herein, 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. If the final valuation exceeds the maximum of the Offering Range, up to 4.9% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding following the completion of the Stock Offering may be sold to the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans notwithstanding any oversubscription by Eligible Account Holders.

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 $100,000, one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) 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 12; 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 12. In the event Supplemental Eligible Account Holders subscribe for a number of shares that, 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 subscribed for. 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. Directors, Officers and their associates do not qualify as Supplemental Eligible Account Holders.

Priority 4: Other Members. To the extent that there are sufficient shares remaining after satisfaction of subscriptions by Eligible Account Holders, the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, each Other Member shall receive non-transferable subscription rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock offered in the Stock Offering in an amount equal to $100,000, 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 12. In the event Other Members subscribe for a number of shares that, when added to the shares subscribed for by the Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, is in excess of the total number of shares offered in the Stock Offering, the subscriptions of such Other Members will be allocated among subscribing Other Members on a pro rata basis based on the size of such Other Members’ orders.

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 all 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 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 Holding Company and the Bank may pay a commission or other fee to such investment banking firm(s) for shares sold by such firm(s) in the Subscription and Community Offering and may also reimburse such firm(s) for expenses incurred in connection with the sale. No Person may purchase more than $100,000 of Common Stock in the Community Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in Section 12. In the event orders for Common Stock in the Community Offering exceed the number of shares available for sale, shares will be allocated (to the extent shares remain available) 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 on a basis that will promote a widespread distribution of stock. In the event orders for Common Stock in each of these categories exceed the number of shares available for sale within such category, orders shall first be filled up to a maximum of two percent (2%) of the shares sold in the Stock Offering, and thereafter remaining shares will be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order.

The Bank and the Holding Company, in their sole discretion, may reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, received from any Person under this Section 11.B.

Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering

If feasible, 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 Bank and the Holding Company, subject to the right of the Holding Company, in its sole discretion, 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 termination of the Subscription Offering, unless such period is extended as provided herein. No Person may purchase more than $100,000 of Common Stock in the Syndicated Community Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in Section 12.

Alternatively, if feasible, the Board of Directors may determine to offer any shares of Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering for sale in a Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering subject to such terms, conditions and procedures as may be determined by the Bank and the Holding Company, subject to the right of the Holding Company, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject in whole or in part any orders in the Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering. Provided the Subscription Offering has begun, the Holding Company may begin the Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering at any time. Any Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering shall be completed within 45 days after the termination of the Subscription Offering, unless such period is extended as provided herein. No Person may purchase more than $100,000 of Common Stock in the Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering, subject to the overall purchase limitations set forth in Section 12.

If for any reason a Syndicated Community Offering or Firm Commitment Underwritten Offering of shares of Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering or any Community Offering cannot be effected and any shares remain unsold after the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering, if any, the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Bank will seek to make other arrangements for the sale of unsubscribed shares aggregating at least the minimum of the Offering Range. Such other arrangements will be subject to the receipt of any required approval of the Bank Regulators.

12.

Additional Limitations on Purchases of Common Stock

Purchases of Common Stock in the Stock Offering will be subject to the following purchase limitations:

The aggregate amount of outstanding Common Stock owned or controlled by persons other than MHC at the close of the Stock Offering shall be less than 50% of the Holding Company’s total outstanding Common Stock.

The maximum purchase of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering by a Person or group of Persons through a single Deposit Account is $100,000. No Person by himself, with an Associate or group of Persons Acting in Concert, may purchase more than $150,000 of the Common Stock offered in the Stock Offering except that: (i) the 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 9.9% of the number of shares sold in the Stock Offering, including shares issued to the Foundation, provided that the total number of shares purchased by Persons, their Associates and those Persons with whom they are Acting in Concert, to the extent such purchases exceed 5% of the shares sold in the Stock Offering, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 10% (or such higher percentage as may be determined by the Board of Directors with the approval of the Bank Regulators) of the total number of the shares sold in the Offering, including shares issued to the Foundation; (ii) the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans may purchase up to 10% of the shares offered in the Stock Offering, including shares issued to the Foundation; and (iii) for purposes of this

subsection 12.B. 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.

The aggregate amount of Common Stock acquired in the Stock Offering, plus all prior issuances by the Holding Company, 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 at the conclusion of the Stock 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 the Holding Company or the Bank that are attributable to such Person shall not be counted.

The aggregate amount of Common Stock acquired in the Stock Offering, plus all prior issuances by the Holding Company, by any Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Plan or any Management Person and his or her Associates, 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 the Holding Company at the conclusion of the Stock Offering.

The aggregate amount of Common Stock acquired in the Stock Offering, plus all prior issuances by the Holding Company, by any one or more Tax-Qualified Employee 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 at the conclusion of the Stock Offering.

The aggregate amount of Common Stock acquired in the Stock Offering, plus all prior issuances by the Holding Company, by any one or more Tax-Qualified Employee 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 the Holding Company at the conclusion of the Stock Offering

The amount of common stock that may be encompassed under all stock option plans and restricted stock plans of the Holding Company may not exceed, in the aggregate, 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by persons other than the MHC at the conclusion of the Stock Offering.

The aggregate amount of Common Stock acquired in the Stock Offering, plus all prior issuances by the Holding Company, 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 29% (or such higher percentage as may be set

by the Board of Directors with the approval of the Bank Regulators) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by persons other than the MHC at the conclusion of the Stock Offering. In calculating the number of shares held by Management Persons and their Associates under this paragraph or paragraph I. below, shares held by any Tax-Qualified Employee Plan or Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Plan that are attributable to such persons shall not be counted.

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 Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, particularly those regarding free riding and withholding. The Holding Company 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.

The Board of Directors of the Holding Company has the right in its sole discretion to reject any order submitted by a person whose representations the Board of Directors of the Holding Company 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 this Plan.

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 and by Bank Regulator requirements 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 except pursuant to this Plan.

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 A GROUP 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 BANK IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION. SUCH DETERMINATION SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE, FINAL AND BINDING ON ALL PERSONS, AND THE BANK MAY TAKE ANY REMEDIAL ACTION INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REJECTING THE PURCHASE OR REFERRING THE MATTER TO THE BANK REGULATORS FOR ACTION, AS THE BANK MAY IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION DEEM APPROPRIATE.

13.

Payment for Stock

All payments for Common Stock subscribed for or ordered in the Stock Offering must be delivered in full to the Bank, together with a properly completed and executed Order Form, or purchase order in the case of the Syndicated Community Offering, on or prior to the expiration date specified on the Order Form or purchase order, as the case may be, unless such date is extended by the Bank; 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 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 requirements.

Payment for Common Stock shall be made either by personal check, bank draft 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 in an amount equal to the 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 until the Common Stock has been sold or the 45-day period (or such longer period as may be approved by the Bank Regulators) following the Stock Offering has expired, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, 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.

Subscription funds received prior to the completion of the Stock Offering will be held in a segregated deposit account at the Bank or, in the Bank’s discretion, at another federally insured depository institution. Interest on subscription funds made by personal check, bank draft or money order will be paid by the Bank at a rate no less than the Bank’s passbook rate. Such interest will be paid from the date payment is received by the Bank 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.

14.

Manner of Exercising Subscription Rights Through Order Forms

As soon as practicable after the prospectus prepared by the Holding Company and the Bank has been declared effective by the SEC, and the Bank Regulators have approved the Reorganization, copies of the prospectus and Order Forms will be distributed to all Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, Other Members and the Tax-Qualified Employee Plans 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 for use by those other persons to whom a prospectus is delivered.

Each Order Form will be preceded or accompanied by the prospectus describing the Holding Company, the Bank, the Common Stock and the Subscription and Community Offerings. Each Order Form will contain, among other things, the following:

A specified date by which all Order Forms must be received by 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 Bank, and which date will constitute the termination of the Subscription Offering;

The purchase price per share for shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings;

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;

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;

An acknowledgment that the recipient of the Order Form has received a final copy of the prospectus prior to execution of the Order Form;

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 Bank within the subscription period such properly completed and executed Order Form, together with a personal check, bank draft 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 at the Bank); and

A statement to the effect that the executed Order Form, once received by the Bank, may not be modified or amended by the subscriber without the consent of the Bank.

Notwithstanding the above, the Bank and the Holding Company reserve the right in their sole discretion to accept or reject orders received on photocopied or facsimiled Order Forms.

15.

Undelivered, Defective or Late Order Form; Insufficient Payment

In the event Order Forms (a) are not delivered and are returned to the Bank by the United States Postal Service or the Bank is unable to locate the addressee, (b) are not received back by the Bank or are received by 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 have insufficient funds 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 Bank 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 Bank may specify. The interpretation by the Bank of terms and conditions of this Plan and of the Order Forms will be final, subject to the authority of the Bank Regulators.

16.

Completion of the Stock Offering

The Stock Offering will be terminated if not completed within 90 days from the date on which the Plan is approved by the Federal Reserve, unless an extension is approved by the Federal Reserve.

17.

Market for Common Stock

If the Holding Company has more than 100 stockholders of any class of stock upon completion of the Stock Offering, the Holding Company shall use its best efforts to:

(i)

encourage and assist a Market Maker to establish and maintain a market for that class of stock; and

(ii)

list that class of stock on a national or regional securities exchange, or on the Nasdaq quotation system.

18.

Stock Purchases by Management Persons After the Stock Offering

For a period of three years after the consummation of the Stock Offering, no Management Person or his or her Associates may purchase, without the prior written approval of the Bank Regulators, any Common Stock of the Holding Company, except from a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, except that the foregoing shall not apply to:

Negotiated transactions involving more than 1% of the outstanding stock in the class of stock; or

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.

19.

Contribution to the Foundation

As part of the Reorganization, the Holding Company and the Bank intend to donate shares of Common Stock and cash to the Foundation, in such amounts, subject to regulatory limits, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. This contribution to the Foundation is intended to enhance the Bank’s existing community reinvestment activities, and to share with the communities in which the Bank conducts its business a part of the Bank’s financial success as a community-minded, financial services institution. The contribution of Common Stock to the Foundation may further this goal as it may enable the community to share in the growth and profitability of the Holding Company and the Bank over the long term.

The Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of charitable purposes, including community development, grants or donations to support housing assistance, not-for-profit community groups and other types of organizations or civic-minded projects. The Foundation will annually distribute total grants to assist charitable organizations or to fund projects within its local community of not less than 5% of the average fair market value of Foundation assets each year, less certain expenses. In order to serve the purposes for which it was formed and to maintain its qualification under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), the Foundation may sell, on an annual basis, a portion of the Foundation Shares.

For a period of five years following the Conversion, except for temporary periods resulting from death, resignation, removal or disqualification, (i) at least one director of the Foundation shall be an independent director who is unaffiliated with the Holding Company and the Bank who is from the Bank’s local community and who has experience with local community charitable organizations and grant making, and (ii) at least one director shall be a person who is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The board of directors of the Foundation will be responsible for establishing the policies of the Foundation, including a conflicts of interest policy, consistent with the stated purposes of the Foundation.

The contribution to the Foundation as part of the Reorganization must be approved by a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by Voting Members. The decision to proceed with the formation and/or grant of Common Stock and/or cash to the Foundation will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

20.

Resales of Stock by Directors and Officers

Common Stock purchased by Management Persons and their Associates 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.

21.

Stock Certificates

Each stock certificate if issued shall bear a legend giving appropriate notice of the restrictions set forth in Section 20 above. Appropriate instructions shall be issued to the 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.

22.

Restriction on Financing Stock Purchases

The 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 Holding Company, the Bank or any Affiliate.

23.

Stock Benefit Plans

A. The Holding Company and the Bank are authorized to adopt Tax-Qualified Employee Plans in connection with the Reorganization, including without limitation, an ESOP. Existing as well as any newly created Tax-Qualified Employee Plans may purchase shares of Common Stock in the Stock Offering, to the extent permitted by the terms of such benefit plans and this Plan.

B. The Holding Company and the Bank are authorized to adopt stock option plans, restricted stock plans and other Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Plans no sooner than six months after the completion of the Reorganization and Stock Offering, provided that such stock plans conform to any applicable requirements of Federal regulations, and the Holding Company intends to implement such stock plans after the completion of the Reorganization and Stock Offering, subject to any necessary stockholder approvals.

24.

Post-Reorganization Filing and Market Making

It is likely that there will be a limited market for the Common Stock sold in the Stock Offering, and purchasers must be prepared to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time. If the Holding Company has more than 35 stockholders of any class of stock upon completion of the Stock Offering, the 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.

25.

Payment of Dividends and Repurchase of Stock

The 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 Holding Company to be reduced below any applicable regulatory capital requirement. Otherwise, the Holding Company may declare dividends or make other capital distributions subject to compliance with any applicable Regulations. Following completion of the Stock Offering, the Holding Company may repurchase its Common Stock consistent with Section 239.8(c) of the Federal Reserve’s Regulations relating to stock repurchases, as long as such repurchases do not cause the

regulatory capital of the Holding Company to be reduced below any applicable regulatory capital requirement. The MHC may from time to time purchase Common Stock of the Holding Company, subject to compliance with any applicable Regulations. Subject to any notice or approval requirements of the Federal Reserve, including the requirements of 12 C.F.R. Section 239.8(d), the MHC may waive its right to receive dividends declared by the Holding Company.

26.

Reorganization and Stock Offering Expenses

In accordance with the Regulations of the Federal Reserve, the expenses incurred by the Bank and the Holding Company in effecting the Reorganization and the Stock Offering will be reasonable.

27.

Employment and Other Severance Agreements

Prior to the adoption of the Plan, the Bank entered into employment arrangements with certain executive officers of the Bank. The employment contracts are for terms not exceeding three years and provide for annual renewals of the term of the contracts, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The terms of such employment arrangements will be described in any prospectus circulated in connection with the Stock Offering and complies with all applicable regulations of the Bank Regulators. Following or contemporaneously with the Reorganization, the Bank and/or the Holding Company also may enter into severance arrangements with other executive officers, which provide for the payment of severance compensation in the event of a change in control of the Bank and/or the Holding Company. The terms of such severance arrangements have not been determined as of this time, but if implemented, would be described in any prospectus circulated in connection with the Stock Offering and would be subject to and comply with all applicable regulations of the Bank Regulators.

28.

Residents of Foreign Countries and Certain States

The 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 or be permitted to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering if such Person resides in a foreign country or resides 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 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.

29.

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 the authority of the Bank Regulators.

30.

Amendment or Termination of the Plan

If necessary or desirable, the terms of the Plan may be substantially amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Bank, as a result of comments from the Bank Regulators or otherwise, at any time prior to the solicitation of proxies and submission of the Plan and proxy materials to a vote of the Members. At any time after the solicitation of proxies and submission of the Plan and proxy materials to a vote of the Members, the terms of the Plan that relate to the Reorganization may be amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Bank only with the concurrence of the Bank Regulators. Terms of the Plan relating to the Stock Offering including, without limitation, Sections 8 through 21, may be amended by a majority vote of the Board of Directors of the Bank as a result of comments from the Bank Regulators or otherwise at any time prior to the approval of the Plan by the Bank Regulators, and at any time thereafter with the concurrence of the Bank Regulators.

In its discretion, the Board of Directors of the Bank may modify or terminate the Plan upon the order of the Bank Regulators without a resolicitation of proxies or another meeting of the Members; however, any material amendment of the terms of the Plan that relate to the Reorganization that occur after the Special Meeting shall require a resolicitation of Members. Failure of the Members to approve the Plan will result in the termination of the Plan.

This Plan shall be terminated if the Reorganization is not completed within 24 months from the date upon which the Members approve the Plan, and may not be extended by the Bank or the Bank Regulators.

Charter and Bylaws of the Bank

A-1

COLONIAL FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK

FEDERAL STOCK CHARTER

Section 1. Corporate title. The full corporate title of the savings association is Colonial Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”).

Section 2. Office. The home office shall be located in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Section 3. Duration. The duration of the Bank is perpetual.

Section 4. Purpose and powers. The purpose of the Bank is to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a federal savings association chartered under section 5 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and to exercise all of the express, implied, and incidental powers conferred thereby and by all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, subject to the Constitution and laws of the United States as they are now in effect, or as they may hereafter be amended, and subject to all lawful and applicable rules, regulations, and orders of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).

Section 5. Capital stock. The total number of shares of all classes of the capital stock that the Bank has the authority to issue is 20,000,000, of which 19,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and of which 1,000,000 shares shall be serial preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The shares may be issued from time to time as authorized by the board of directors without the approval of its shareholders, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5 or to the extent that such approval is required by governing law, rule, or regulation. The consideration for the issuance of the shares shall be paid in full before their issuance and shall not be less than the par or stated value. Neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for the issuance of shares of the Bank. The consideration for the shares shall be cash, tangible or intangible property (to the extent direct investment in such property would be permitted to the Bank), labor, or services actually performed for the Bank, or any combination of the foregoing. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the value of such property, labor, or services, as determined by the board of directors of the Bank, shall be conclusive. Upon payment of such consideration, such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. In the case of a stock dividend, that part of the retained earnings of the Bank that is transferred to common stock or paid-in capital accounts upon the issuance of shares as a stock dividend shall be deemed to be the consideration for their issuance.

Except for shares issued in the initial organization of the Bank or in connection with the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form of capitalization, no shares of capital stock (including shares issuable upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of other securities) shall be issued, directly or indirectly, to officers, directors, or controlling persons of the Bank other than as part of a general public offering or as qualifying shares to a director, unless the issuance or the plan under which they would be issued has been approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting.

Nothing contained in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections hereto) shall entitle the holders of any class or series of capital stock to vote as a separate class or series or to more than one vote per share, and there shall be no cumulation of votes for the election of directors; provided, that this restriction on voting separately by class or series shall not apply:

A-2

(i)

To any provision that would authorize the holders of preferred stock, voting as a class or series, to elect some members of the board of directors, less than a majority thereof, in the event of default in the payment of dividends on any class or series of preferred stock;

(ii)

To any provision that would require the holders of preferred stock, voting as a class or series, to approve the merger or consolidation of the Bank with another corporation or the sale, lease, or conveyance (other than by mortgage or pledge) of properties or business in exchange for securities of a corporation other than the Bank if the preferred stock is exchanged for securities of such other corporation; provided, that no provision may require such approval for transactions undertaken with the assistance or pursuant to the direction of the OCC or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; or

(iii)

To any amendment that would adversely change the specific terms of any class or series of capital stock as set forth in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections hereto), including any amendment that would create or enlarge any class or series ranking prior thereto in rights and preferences. An amendment that increases the number of authorized shares of any class or series of capital stock or substitutes the surviving savings association in a merger or consolidation for the Bank, shall not be considered to be such an adverse change.

A description of the different classes and series of the Bank’s capital stock and a statement of the designations, and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class of and series of capital stock are as follows:

Common stock. Except as provided in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections thereto) the holders of common stock shall exclusively possess all voting power.

Whenever there shall have been paid, or declared and set aside for payment, to the holders of the outstanding shares of any class of stock having preference over the common stock as to payment of dividends, the full amount of dividends and of sinking fund, retirement fund or other retirement payments, if any, to which such holders are respectively entitled in preference to the common stock, then dividends may be paid on the common stock and on any class or series of stock entitled to participate therewith as to dividends out of any assets legally available for the payment of dividends.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Bank, the holders of the common stock (and the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to participate with the common stock in the distribution of assets) shall be entitled to receive, in cash or in kind, the assets of the Bank available for distribution remaining after: (i) payment or provision for payment of the Bank’s debts and liabilities; (ii) distributions or provision for distributions in settlement of its liquidation account; and (iii) distributions or provision for distributions to holders of any class or series of stock having preference over the common stock in the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Bank. Each share of common stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of common stock.

A-3

Preferred stock. The Bank may provide in supplementary sections to its charter for one or more classes of preferred stock, which shall be separately identified. The shares of any class may be divided into and issued in series, with each series separately designated so as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The terms of each series shall be set forth in a supplementary section to the charter. All shares of the same class shall be identical, except as to the following relative rights and preferences, as to which there may be variations between different series:

The distinctive serial designation and the number of shares constituting such series;

The dividend rate or the amount of dividends to be paid on the shares of such series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date(s), the payment date(s) for dividends, and the participating or other special rights, if any, with respect to dividends;

The voting powers, full or limited, if any, of shares of such series;

Whether the shares of such series shall be redeemable and, if so, the price(s) at which, and the terms and conditions on which, such shares may be redeemed;

The amount(s) payable upon the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Bank;

Whether the shares of such series shall be entitled to the benefit of a sinking or retirement fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of such shares, and if so entitled, the amount of such fund and the manner of its application, including the price(s) at which such shares may be redeemed or purchased through the application of such fund;

Whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Bank and, if so, the conversion price(s) or the rate(s) of exchange, and the adjustments thereof, if any, at which such conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

The price or other consideration for which the shares of such series shall be issued; and

Whether the shares of such series that are redeemed or converted shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of serial preferred stock and whether such shares may be reissued as shares of the same or any other series of serial preferred stock.

A-4

Each share of each series of serial preferred stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of the same series.

The board of directors shall have authority to divide, by the adoption of supplementary charter sections, any authorized class of preferred stock into series and, within the limitations set forth in this section and the remainder of this charter, fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established.

Prior to the issuance of any preferred shares of a series established by a supplementary charter section adopted by the board of directors, the Bank shall file with the OCC a dated copy of that supplementary section of this charter establishing and designating the series and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof.

Section 6. Preemptive rights. Holders of the capital stock of the Bank shall not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the Bank that may be issued.

Section 7. Directors. The Bank shall be under the direction of a board of directors. The authorized number of directors, as stated in the Bank’s bylaws, shall not be fewer than five nor more than fifteen except when a greater or lesser number is approved by the OCC.

Section 8. Certain Provisions Applicable for Five Years. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Bank’s charter or bylaws to the contrary, for a period of five years from the date of completion of the conversion of the Bank from mutual to stock form, the following provisions shall apply:

A. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. No person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10 percent of any class of an equity security of the Bank. This limitation shall not apply to a transaction in which the Bank forms a holding company without change in the respective beneficial ownership interests of its stockholders other than pursuant to the exercise of any dissenter and appraisal rights, the purchase of shares by underwriters in connection with a public offering, or the purchase of less than 25 percent of a class of stock by a tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan as defined in §192.25 of the OCC’s regulations.

In the event shares are acquired in violation of this section 8, all shares beneficially owned by any person in excess of 10 percent shall be considered “excess shares” and shall not be counted as shares entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting shares in connection with any matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote.

B. Call for Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders relating to changes in control of the Bank or amendments to its charter shall be called only upon direction of the board of directors.

For purposes of this section 8, the following definitions apply:

1. The term “person” includes an individual, a group acting in concert, a corporation, a partnership, an association, 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 the equity securities of the Bank.

A-5

2. The term “offer” includes every offer to buy or otherwise acquire, solicitation of an offer to sell, tender offer for, or request or invitation for tenders of, a security or interest in a security for value.

3. The term “acquire” includes every type of acquisition, whether effected by purchase, exchange, operation of law or otherwise.

4. The term “acting in concert” means (a) knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, or (b) 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 arrangements, whether written or otherwise.

Section 9. Amendment of charter. Except as provided in Section 5, no amendment, addition, alteration, change or repeal of this charter shall be made, unless such is proposed by the board of directors of the Bank, approved by the shareholders by a majority of the votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting, unless a higher vote is otherwise required, and approved or preapproved by the OCC.

Section 10. Priority of Accounts. In any situation in which the priority of the accounts of the Bank is in controversy, all such accounts shall, to the extent of their withdrawable value, be debts of the Bank having at least as high a priority as the claims of general creditors of the Bank not having priority (other than any priority arising or resulting from consensual subordination) over other general creditors of the Bank.

Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the president, or a majority of the board of directors, and shall be called by the chairman of the board, the president, or the secretary upon the written request of the holders of 10% or more of the shares of the Bank entitled to vote at the meeting. Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered to the home office of the Bank addressed to the chairman of the board, the president, or the secretary.

Section 4. Conduct of Meetings. Annual and special meetings shall be conducted in accordance with the most current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order, unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) or these bylaws or the board of directors adopts another written procedure for the conduct of meetings. The board of directors shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board or president to preside at such meetings.

Section 5. Notice of Meetings. Written notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called shall be delivered not fewer than 20 nor more than 50 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 shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail, addressed to the shareholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the Bank as of the record date prescribed in Section 6 of this Article II with postage prepaid. When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Notwithstanding anything in this section, however, a federal stock association that is wholly owned shall not be subject to the shareholder notice requirement.

Section 6. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment, or shareholders entitled to

A-8

receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not fewer than 10 days before the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment.

Section 7. Voting Lists. At least 20 days before each meeting of the shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Bank shall make a complete list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address and the number of shares held by each. This list of shareholders shall be kept on file at the home office of the Bank and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder of record or the shareholder’s agent at any time during usual business hours for a period of 20 days before such meeting. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder of record or any shareholder’s agent during the entire time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall constitute prima facie evidence of the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this section, however, a federal stock association that is wholly owned shall not be subject to the voting list requirements. In lieu of making the shareholder list available for inspection by shareholders as provided above, the board of directors may elect to follow the procedures prescribed in 12 CFR 5.22(k)(4)(ii) of the OCC’s regulations as now or hereafter in effect.

Section 8. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Bank entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares is represented at a meeting, 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 shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number of shareholders voting together or voting by classes is required by law or the charter. Directors, however, are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an election of directors.

Section 9. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney in fact. Proxies may be given telephonically or electronically as long as the holder uses a procedure for verifying the identity of the shareholder. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the absence of such direction, as determined by a majority of the board of directors. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an interest.

A-9

Section 10. Shares Controlled by Bank. Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Bank nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the Bank, 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 11. Cumulative Voting. Shareholders may not cumulate their votes for election of directors.

Section 12. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any person other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. Any such appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the board or the president may, or on the request of not fewer than 10 percent of the votes represented at the meeting, make such appointment at the meeting. If appointed at the meeting, the majority of the votes present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the board of directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or the president.

Unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the OCC, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares and the voting power of each share, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and 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 rights 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 shareholders.

Section 13. Nominations and new business. Nominations for directors and new business submitted by shareholders shall be voted upon at the annual meeting if such nominations or new business are submitted in writing and delivered to the secretary of the Bank at least five days before the date of the annual meeting. Ballots bearing the names of all the persons nominated shall be provided for use at the annual meeting.

Section 14. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action that may be taken at a meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be given by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter.

Article III—Board of Directors

Section 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Bank shall be under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors shall annually elect a chairman of the board from among its members and shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board or the President to preside at its meetings.

A-10

Section 2. Number and Term. The board of directors shall consist of seven (7) members, and shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. The members of each class shall be elected for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified. One class shall be elected by ballot annually.

Section 3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw following the annual meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution. Directors may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar communications device through which all persons participating can hear one another at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person for all purposes.

Section 4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, the president, or one-third of the directors. The persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place, within the Bank’s normal lending territory, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by such persons.

Members of the board of directors may participate in special meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another. Such participation shall constitute presence in person for all purposes.

Section 5. Notice. Written notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least 24 hours prior thereto when delivered personally, by electronic mail or by telegram, or at least five days prior thereto when delivered by mail at the address at which the director is most likely to be reached. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail so addressed, with postage prepaid if mailed, when delivered to the telegraph company if sent by telegram, or when the Bank receives notice of delivery if electronically transmitted. Any director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing filed with the secretary. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice of waiver of notice of such meeting.

Section 6. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article III shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors; but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as prescribed by Section 5 of this Article III.

Section 7. Manner of Acting. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless a greater number is prescribed by OCC regulations or by these bylaws.

A-11

Section 8. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors.

Section 9. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by sending a written notice of such resignation to the home office of the Bank addressed to the chairman of the board or the president. Unless otherwise specified, such resignation shall take effect upon receipt by the chairman of the board or the president. More than three consecutive absences from regular meetings of the board of directors, unless excused by resolution of the board of directors, shall automatically constitute a resignation, effective when such resignation is accepted by the board of directors.

Section 10. Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors although less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to serve only until the next election of directors by the shareholders. Any directorship to be filled because of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by election by the board of directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

Section 11. Compensation. Directors, as such, may receive a stated salary for their services. By resolution of the board of directors, a reasonable fixed sum, and reasonable expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the board of directors. Members of either standing or special committees may be allowed such compensation for attendance at committee meetings as the board of directors may determine.

Section 12. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Bank who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any Bank matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his or her dissent or abstention shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he or she shall file a written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the Bank within five days after the date a copy of the minutes of the meeting is received. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

Section 13. Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed only for cause as defined in 12 CFR 5.21(j)(1)(x)(B) (or any successor regulation) by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Whenever the holders of the shares of any class are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the charter or supplemental sections thereto, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

Section 14. Director Qualifications. A person is not qualified to serve as a director if he or she: (i) is under indictment for, or has ever been convicted of, a criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust and the penalty for such offense could be imprisonment for more than one year, (ii) a person against whom a banking agency has, within the past ten years, issued

A-12

a cease and desist order for conduct involving dishonesty or breach of trust and that order is final and subject to appeal, or (iii) has found either by a regulatory agency whose decision is final and not subject to appeal or by a court to have (1) breached a fiduciary duty involving personal profit or (2) committed a willful violation of any law, rule or regulation governing banking, securities, commodities or insurance, or any final cease and desist order issued by a banking, securities, commodities or insurance regulatory agency.

Section 15. Director age limitation. No person 80 years of age shall be eligible for election, reelection, appointment, or reappointment to the board of the Bank. No director shall serve as such beyond the annual meeting of the Bank immediately following the director becoming 80 years of age, except that a director serving on November 20, 2006 may complete the term as director. This age limitation does not apply to an advisory director.

Article IV—Executive and Other Committees

Section 1. Appointment. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board, may designate the chairman of the board and two or more of the other directors to constitute an executive committee. The designation of any committee and the delegation of authority shall not operate to relieve the board of directors, or any director, of any responsibility imposed by law or regulation.

Section 2. Authority. The executive committee, when the board of directors is not in session, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the board of directors except to the extent, if any, that such authority shall be limited by the resolution appointing the executive committee; and except also that the executive committee shall not have the authority of the board of directors with reference to: the declaration of dividends; the amendment of the charter or bylaws of the Bank, or recommending to the shareholders a plan of merger, consolidation, or conversion; the sale, lease, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Bank otherwise than in the usual and regular course of its business; a voluntary dissolution of the Bank; a revocation of any of the foregoing; or the approval of a transaction in which any member of the executive committee, directly or indirectly, has any material beneficial interest.

Section 3. Tenure.

A-14

possible. Each officer shall hold office until a successor has been duly elected and qualified or until the officer’s death, resignation, or removal in the manner hereinafter provided. Election or appointment of an officer, employee, or agent shall not of itself create contractual rights. The board of directors may authorize the Bank to enter into an employment contract with any officer in accordance with regulations of the OCC; but no such contract shall impair the right of the board of directors to remove any officer at any time in accordance with Section 3 of this Article V.

Section 3. Removal. Any officer may be removed by the board of directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Bank will be served thereby, but such removal, other than for cause, shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights, if any, of the person so removed.

When the Bank fails to meet its quorum requirements, solely due to vacancies on the board, then the affirmative vote of a majority of the sitting board will be required to amend the bylaws.

CFSB BANCORP, INC.

STOCK HOLDING COMPANY CHARTER

Section 1. Corporate title. The full corporate title of the mutual holding company subsidiary holding company is CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”).

Section 2. Domicile. The domicile of the Company shall be in Norfolk County, Massachusetts.

Section 3. Duration. The duration of the Company is perpetual.

Section 4. Purpose and powers. The purpose of the Company is to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a federal mutual holding company chartered under Section 10(o) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act, 12 U.S.C. 1467a(o), and to exercise all of the express, implied, and incidental powers conferred thereby and by all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, subject to the Constitution and laws of the United States as they are now in effect, or as they may hereafter be amended, and subject to all lawful and applicable rules, regulations, and orders of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”).

Section 5. Capital stock. The total number of shares of all classes of the capital stock that the Company has the authority to issue is 100,000,000, of which 90,000,000 shares shall be common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and of which 10,000,000 shares shall be serial preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The shares may be issued from time to time as authorized by the board of directors without the approval of its shareholders, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5 or to the extent that such approval is required by governing law, rule, or regulation. The consideration for the issuance of the shares shall be paid in full before their issuance and shall not be less than the par or stated value. Neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for the issuance of shares of the Company. The consideration for the shares shall be cash, tangible or intangible property (to the extent direct investment in such property would be permitted to the Company), labor, or services actually performed for the Company, or any combination of the foregoing. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the value of such property, labor, or services, as determined by the board of directors of the Company, shall be conclusive. Upon payment of such consideration, such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. In the case of a stock dividend, that part of the retained earnings of the Company that is transferred to common stock or paid-in capital accounts upon the issuance of shares as a stock dividend shall be deemed to be the consideration for their issuance.

Except for shares issued in the initial organization of the Company, no shares of capital stock (including shares issuable upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of other securities) shall be issued, directly or indirectly, to officers, directors, or controlling persons (except for shares issued to the parent mutual holding company) of the Company other than as part of a general public offering or as qualifying shares to a director, unless the issuance or the plan under which they would be issued has been approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting.

B-2

Nothing contained in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections hereto) shall entitle the holders of any class or series of capital stock to vote as a separate class or series or to more than one vote per share, and there shall be no cumulation of votes for the election of directors; provided, that this restriction on voting separately by class or series shall not apply:

(i)

(ii)

To any provision that would require the holders of preferred stock, voting as a class or series, to approve the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation or the sale, lease, or conveyance (other than by mortgage or pledge) of properties or business in exchange for securities of a corporation other than the Company if the preferred stock is exchanged for securities of such other corporation; provided, that no provision may require such approval for transactions undertaken with the assistance or pursuant to the direction of the FRB or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; or

(iii)

To any amendment that would adversely change the specific terms of any class or series of capital stock as set forth in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections hereto), including any amendment that would create or enlarge any class or series ranking prior thereto in rights and preferences. An amendment that increases the number of authorized shares of any class or series of capital stock, or substitutes the surviving company in a merger or consolidation for the Company, shall not be considered to be such an adverse change.

A description of the different classes and series of the Company’s capital stock and a statement of the designations, and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class of and series of capital stock are as follows:

A. Common stock. Except as provided in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections thereto) the holders of common stock shall exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder and there shall be no cumulation of votes for the election of directors.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the common stock (and the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to participate with the

B-3

common stock in the distribution of assets) shall be entitled to receive, in cash or in kind, the assets of the Company available for distribution remaining after: (i) payment or provision for payment of the Company’s debts and liabilities; (ii) distributions or provision for distributions in settlement of its liquidation account; and (iii) distributions or provisions for distributions to holders of any class or series of stock having preference over the common stock in the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company. Each share of common stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of common stock.

B. Preferred stock. The Company may provide in supplementary sections to its charter for one or more classes of preferred stock, which shall be separately identified. The shares of any class may be divided into and issued in series, with each series separately designated so as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. The terms of each series shall be set forth in a supplementary section to the charter. All shares of the same class shall be identical, except as to the following relative rights and preferences, as to which there may be variations between different series:

The distinctive serial designation and the number of shares constituting such series;

The voting powers, full or limited, if any, of shares of such series;

Whether the shares of such series shall be redeemable and, if so, the price(s) at which, and the terms and conditions on which, such shares may be redeemed;

The amount(s) payable upon the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company;

Whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Company and, if so, the conversion price(s) or the rate(s) of exchange, and the adjustments thereof, if any, at which such conversion or exchange may be made, and any other terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange;

B-4

The price or other consideration for which the shares of such series shall be issued; and

Each share of each series of serial preferred stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of the same series.

Prior to the issuance of any preferred shares of a series established by a supplementary charter section adopted by the board of directors, the Company shall file with the appropriate Reserve Bank a dated copy of that supplementary section of this charter establishing and designating the series and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof.

Section 6. Beneficial ownership limitation. No person other than 15 Beach, MHC may directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10 percent of the outstanding stock of any class of voting stock of the Company held by persons other than 15 Beach, MHC. This limitation expires on five years from the date of the charter and does not apply to a transaction in which an underwriter purchases stock in connection with a public offering, or the purchase of stock by an employee stock ownership plan or other tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan that is exempt from the approval requirements under the FRB’s Regulations.

In the event a person acquires stock in violation of this Section 6, all stock beneficially owned by such person in excess of 10 percent of the stock held by shareholders other than 15 Beach, MHC shall be considered “excess shares” and shall not be counted as stock entitled to vote and shall not be voted by any person or counted as voting stock in connection with any matters submitted to the shareholders for a vote.

For purposes of this section 6, the following definitions apply:

(1) The term “person” includes an individual, a group acting in concert, a corporation, a partnership, an association, 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 the equity securities of the subsidiary holding company.

(2) The term “offer” includes every offer to buy or otherwise acquire, solicitation of an offer to sell, tender offer for, or request or invitation for tenders of, a security or interest in a security for value.

B-5

(3) The term “acquire” includes every type of acquisition, whether effected by purchase, exchange, operation of law or otherwise.

(4) The term “acting in concert” means (a) knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, or (b) 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 arrangements, whether written or otherwise.

Section 7. Preemptive rights. Holders of the capital stock of the Company shall not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the Company which may be issued.

Section 8. Directors. The Company shall be under the direction of a board of directors. The authorized number of directors, as stated in the Company’s bylaws, shall not be fewer than five nor more than fifteen except when a greater or lesser number is approved by the FRB, or its delegate.

Section 9. Amendment of charter. Except as provided in Section 5, no amendment, addition, alteration, change or repeal of this charter shall be made, unless such is proposed by the board of directors of the Company, approved by the shareholders by a majority of the votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting, unless a higher vote is otherwise required, and approved or preapproved by the FRB.

B-8

Section 6. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not fewer than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment.

Section 7. Voting Lists. At least 20 days before each meeting of the shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Company shall make a complete list of the shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address and the number of shares held by each. This list of shareholders shall be kept on file at the home office of the Company and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder of record or the shareholder’s agent at any time during usual business hours for a period of 20 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 inspection by any shareholder of record or any shareholder’s agent during the entire time of the meeting.

If a quorum is present at a meeting of shareholders and the withdrawal of shareholders results in the presence of less than a quorum, the shareholders present may continue to transact business until adjournment. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number of shareholders voting together or voting by classes is required by law or the charter. Directors, however, are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an election of directors.

B-9

the identity of the shareholder. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the absence of such direction, as determined by a majority of the board of directors. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an interest.

Section 10. Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons. When ownership stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the Company to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company any one or more of such shareholders 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 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 11. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares held in trust in an IRA or Keogh Account, however, may be voted by the Company if no other instructions are received. 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 into his or 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 shareholder 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 Company nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the Company, 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 12. Cumulative Voting. Shareholders may not cumulate their votes for election of directors.

Section 13. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any individual other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. Any such appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the board or the president may, or on the request of not fewer than 10 percent of the votes represented at the meeting shall, make such appointment at the meeting. If appointed at the meeting, the majority of the votes present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any individual appointed as inspector fails to appear or

B-10

fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the board of directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or the president. Unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the FRB, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares and the voting power of each share, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and 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 rights 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 shareholders.

Section 14. Nominating Committee. The board of directors shall act as a nominating committee for selecting the management nominees for election as directors. Except in the case of a nominee substituted as a result of the death or other incapacity of a management nominee, the nominating committee shall deliver written nominations to the secretary at least 20 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Upon delivery, such nominations shall be posted in a conspicuous place in each office of the Company. No nominations for directors except those made by the nominating committee shall be voted upon at the annual meeting unless other nominations by shareholders are made in writing and delivered to the secretary of the Company at least five days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Upon delivery, such nominations shall be posted in a conspicuous place in each office of the Company. Ballots bearing the names of all persons nominated by the nominating committee and by shareholders shall be provided for use at the annual meeting. However, if the nominating committee shall fail or refuse to act at least 20 days prior to the annual meeting, nominations for directors may be made at the annual meeting by any shareholder entitled to vote and shall be voted upon.

Section 15. New Business. Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting shall be stated in writing and filed with the secretary of the Company at least five days before the date of the annual meeting, and all business so stated, proposed, and filed shall be considered at the annual meeting; but no other proposal shall be acted upon at the annual meeting. Any shareholder may make any other proposal at the annual meeting and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless stated in writing and filed with the secretary at least five days before the meeting, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an adjourned, special, or annual meeting of the shareholders taking place 30 days or more thereafter. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors, and committees; but in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as herein provided.

Section 16. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be given by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter.

Article III—Board of Directors

Section 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of the Company shall be under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors shall annually elect a chairman of the board from among its members and shall designate, when present, the chairman of the board to preside at its meetings.

Section 3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw following the annual meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution. Directors may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar communications device through which all individuals participating can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person for all purposes.

Section 4. Director Qualification. Each director shall at all times be the beneficial owner of not less than 100 shares of capital stock of the Company unless the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company.

Section 5. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, the president, or one-third of the directors. The persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place, within the Company’s normal lending territory, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by such persons. Members of the board of directors may participate in special meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation shall constitute presence in person for all purposes.

Section 6. Notice. Written notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least 24 hours prior thereto when delivered personally or by telegram or at least five days prior thereto when delivered by mail at the address at which the director is most likely to be reached. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail so addressed, with postage prepaid if mailed, when delivered to the telegraph company if sent by telegram, or when the Company receives notice of delivery if electronically transmitted. Any director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing filed with the secretary. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice of waiver of notice of such meeting.

B-12

Section 7. Quorum.
