                        GUIDELINES FOR REGISTERING STOCK

         For reasons of clarity and standardization, the stock transfer industry
has developed uniform stockholder registrations which we will utilize in the
issuance of your Brooklyn Heights Bancorp Stock Certificate(s). If you have any
questions, please consult your legal advisor.
         Stock ownership must be registered in one of the following manners:

- ----------------------------------------------------
INDIVIDUAL:         Avoid the use of two initials. Include the first given
                    name, middle initial and last name of the stockholder. Omit
                    words of limitation that do not affect ownership rights
                    such as "special account," "single man," "personal
                    property," etc. If the stock is held individually upon the
                    individual's death, the stock will be owned by the
                    individual's estate and distributed as indicated by the
                    individual's will or otherwise in accordance with law.
- ---------------------------------------------------
JOINT:              Joint ownership of stock by two or more persons shall be 
                    inscribed on the certificate with one of the following
                    types of joint ownership. Names should be joined by "and";
                    do not connect with "or." Omit titles such as "Mrs.,"
                    "Dr.," etc. 
                    JOINT TENANTS--Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship and 
                    not as Tenants in Common may be specified to identify two 
                    or more owners where ownership is intended to pass 
                    automatically to the surviving tenant(s). 
                    TENANTS IN COMMON--Tenants in Common may be specified to 
                    identify two or more owners. When stock is held as tenancy 
                    in common, upon the death of one co-tenant, ownership of the
                    stock will be held by the surviving co-tenant(s) and by the
                    heirs of the deceased co-tenant. All parties must agree to
                    the transfer or sale of shares held in this form of
                    ownership.
- ---------------------------------------------------
UNIFORM TRANSFER    Stock may be held in the name of a custodian for a minor 
TO MINORS:          under the Uniform Transfers to Minors laws of the individual
                    states. There may be only one custodian and one minor
                    designated on a stock certificate. The standard abbreviation
                    of custodian is "CUST,", while the description "Uniform
                    Transfers to Minors Act" is abbreviated "UNIF TRAN MIN ACT."
                    Standard U.S. Postal Service state abbreviations should be
                    used to describe the appropriate state. For example, stock
                    held by John P. Jones under the Uniform Transfers to Minors
                    Act will be abbreviated:

                                    JOHN P. JONES CUST SUSAN A. JONES
                                    UNIF TRAN MIN ACT NY
- ---------------------------------------------------
FIDUCIARIES:        Stock held in a fiduciary capacity must contain the 
                    following:
                    1. The name(s) of the fiduciary(ies):
                             - If an individual, list the first given name, 
                               middle initial and last name.
                             - If a corporation, list the corporate title
                             - If an individual and a corporation, list the 
                               corporation's title before the individual.
                    2.       The fiduciary capacity:
                             - Administrator
                             - Conservator
                             - Committee
                             - Executor
                             - Trustee
                             - Personal Representative
                             - Custodian
                    3.       The type of document governing the fiduciary 
                             relationship. Generally, such relationships are
                             either under a form of living trust agreement or
                             pursuant to a court order. Without a document
                             establishing a fiduciary relationship, your stock
                             may not be registered in a fiduciary capacity.
                    4.       The date of the document governing the 
                             relationship. The date of the document need not be
                             used in the description of a trust created by a
                             will.
                    5.       Either of the following:
                                    The name of the maker, donor or testator OR 
                                    The name of the beneficiary
                                    Example of Fiduciary Ownership:
