INTRODUCTION.

     For purposes of this section, all capitalized terms have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 2.

     This Plan of Conversion provides for the conversion of Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”) from a federally chartered mutual savings association into a federally chartered stock savings association. The Plan provides that the Association will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of a stock holding company (the “Holding Company”).

     The Board of Directors of the Association has considered the alternatives available to the Association with respect to its corporate structure, and has determined that a mutual to stock conversion, as described in this Plan, will be in the best interests of the Association and its customers. The Conversion will raise capital which will enable the Association to: (1) support future lending and operational growth, including branching activities and acquisitions of other financial institutions or financial services companies; (2) increase its ability to render services to the communities it serves; (3) compete more effectively with commercial banks and other financial institutions for new business opportunities; and (4) increase its equity capital base and access the capital markets when needed. The Conversion will also enable the Holding Company and the Association to adopt stock benefit plans that will make the Association more competitive in providing incentive compensation to management and employees.

     The Plan provides that non-transferable subscription rights to purchase the Common Stock of the Holding Company shall be granted to certain Members of the Association pursuant to the Plan and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the OTS. The price of the Common Stock to be sold in the Conversion will be based upon an independent appraisal of the Association and will reflect its estimated pro forma market value, as converted. No change will be made in the board of directors or management of the Association as a result of the Conversion.

     The Plan was adopted by the Association’s Board of Directors on September 14, 2010. The Plan is subject to the approval of the OTS and must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the Voting Members at the Special Meeting.

     After the Conversion, the Association will continue to be regulated by the OTS, as its chartering authority, and by the FDIC, which insures the Association’s deposits. In addition, the Association will continue to be a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and all insured savings deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC up to the maximum limit provided by law.

GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR THE CONVERSION.

     (a) Organization of the Holding Company and the Association

          The Association will apply to the OTS to have the Holding Company retain up to 50% of the net proceeds of the Offerings, or such other amount as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Association may distribute additional capital to the Holding Company following the Conversion, subject to the OTS regulations governing capital distributions.

     (b) Effect on Deposit Accounts and Borrowings

          Each deposit account in the Association on the effective date of the Conversion, will remain a deposit account in the Association after the Conversion 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 each deposit account existed in the Association immediately before the Conversion. Holders of deposit accounts in the Association shall not, as such holders, have any voting rights. Upon consummation of the Conversion, all loans and other borrowings from the Association shall retain the same status with the Association after the Conversion, as they had with the Association immediately before the Conversion.

     (c) The Association

          Upon completion of the Conversion, the Association 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. The Conversion will not result in any reduction of the amount of retained earnings and general loss reserves will be accounted for by the Holding Company and the Association on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Copies of the proposed

federal stock charter and bylaws of the Association are attached hereto and made a part of this Plan. By their approval of this Plan, the Voting Members shall have approved and adopted the federal stock charter and bylaws of the Association.

          The initial members of the Board of Directors of the Association upon the completion of the Conversion will be the members of the Board of Directors of the Association at the time of the adoption of the Plan of Conversion who continue to be directors of the Association at the time of the closing of the Conversion. Following the Conversion, the Association will be wholly owned by the Holding Company. The Holding Company will be wholly owned by its stockholders who will initially consist of the persons who purchase Common Stock in the Offerings.

     (d) 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 under federal law and regulations. The initial members of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company will be appointed by the Association. Thereafter, the voting stockholders of the Holding Company will elect approximately one-third of the Holding Company’s directors annually. The total shares of Common Stock authorized under the Holding Company articles of incorporation will exceed the shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Conversion.

     (e) Applications and Regulatory and Member Approval

          The Association will take the necessary steps to prepare and file the Application for Conversion, including the Plan, together with all requisite material, with the OTS for approval. The Association also will cause notice of the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Association to be given by publication in a newspaper having general circulation in each community in which an office of the Association is located, and will cause copies of the Plan to be made available at each office of the Association for inspection by Members. The Association will post the notice of the adoption of the Plan in each of its offices. Once the Application for Conversion is filed, the Association will again cause to be published, in accordance with the requirements of applicable regulations of the OTS, notice of the filing of the Application for Conversion with the OTS, and will post notice of the filing of the Application for Conversion in each office of the Association.

          As soon as practicable after the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Association, the proposed Board of Directors of the Holding Company shall adopt the Plan by at least a two-thirds vote. The proposed Board of Directors of the Holding Company shall cause to be filed with the OTS such applications as may be required for approval of the Holding Company’s acquisition of the Association and filed with the SEC a Registration Statement to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proposed Board of Directors of the Holding Company shall also register or qualify the Common Stock under any applicable state securities laws, subject to Section 13 hereof.

          Promptly following receipt of requisite approval of the OTS, the Plan will be submitted to the Voting Members for their consideration and approval at the Special Meeting. The Association may, at its option, mail to all Voting Members, at their last known address appearing on the records of the Association, a proxy statement in either long form, or to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, summary form, describing the Plan, which will be submitted to a vote of the Voting Members at the Special Meeting. If the Plan is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by Voting Members at the Special Meeting, the Association shall take all other necessary organizational steps

pursuant to applicable laws and regulations to amend its charter and bylaws to authorize the issuance of its capital stock to the Holding Company at the time the Conversion is consummated.

     (f) Expenses

          The Holding Company and the Association may retain and pay for the services of financial and other advisors and investment bankers to assist in connection with any or all aspects of the Conversion, including in connection with the Offerings, the payment of fees to brokers for assisting Persons in completing and/or submitting Order Forms. The Association shall use its best efforts to ensure that all fees, expenses, retainers and similar items shall be reasonable.

4.

TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES AND PURCHASE PRICE OF COMMON STOCK.

     (a) The aggregate price at which shares of Common Stock shall be sold in the Offerings shall be based on a pro forma valuation of the aggregate market value of the Common Stock prepared by the Independent Appraiser. The valuation shall be based on financial information relating to the Holding Company and the Association, market, financial and economic conditions, a comparison of the Holding Company and the Association with selected publicly held financial institutions and holding companies and with comparable financial institutions and holding companies and such other factors as the Independent Appraiser may deem to be important, including, but not limited to, the projected operating results and financial condition of the Holding Company and Association. The valuation shall be stated in terms of an Estimated Price Range, the maximum of which shall be no more than 15% above the average of the minimum and maximum of such price range and the minimum of which shall be no more than 15% below such average. The valuation shall be updated during the Conversion as market and financial conditions warrant and as may be required by the OTS.

     (b) Based upon the independent valuation, the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association shall fix the Initial Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be offered in the Offerings. The purchase price per share for the Common Stock shall be a uniform price determined in accordance with applicable OTS rules and regulations. The Actual Purchase Price and the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Offerings shall be determined by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association upon conclusion of the Offerings in consultation with the Independent Appraiser and any financial advisor or investment banker retained by the Holding Company in connection with such offering.

     (c) Subject to the approval of the OTS, the Estimated Price Range may be increased or decreased to reflect market, financial and economic conditions before completion of the Conversion or to fill the Order of the Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans, and under such circumstances the Holding Company and the Association may increase or decrease the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Conversion to reflect any such change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, no resolicitation of subscribers shall be required and subscribers shall not be permitted to modify or cancel their subscriptions unless the gross proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock in the Offerings are less than the minimum or more than 15% above the maximum of the Estimated Price Range set forth in the Prospectus. In the event of an increase in the total number of shares offered in the Offerings due to an increase in the Estimated Price Range, the priority of share allocation shall be as set forth in this Plan.

5.

SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS (FIRST PRIORITY).

     (a) Each Eligible Account Holder shall receive, as first priority and without payment, Subscription Rights to purchase up to the greater of (i) $250,000 of Common Stock (or such maximum

purchase limitation as may be established for the Community Offering and/or Syndicated Community Offering), (ii) one-tenth of 1% of the total offering of shares in the Subscription Offering, or (iii) 15 times the product (rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock offered in the Subscription Offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the Qualifying Deposits of the Eligible Account Holder and the denominator is the total amount of all Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders, in each case subject to Sections 10 and 13 hereof.

     (b) In the event of an oversubscription for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a), available shares shall be allocated among subscribing Eligible Account Holders so as to permit each such Eligible Account Holder, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares which will make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares. Any available shares remaining after each subscribing Eligible Account Holder has been allocated the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares shall be allocated among the subscribing Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied in the proportion that the Qualifying Deposit of each such subscribing Eligible Account Holder bears to the total Qualifying Deposits of all such subscribing Eligible Account Holders whose orders are unfilled, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued.

     Subscription Rights of Eligible Account Holders who are also directors or Officers of the Holding Company or the Association and their Associates shall be subordinated to those of other Eligible Account Holders to the extent that they are attributable to increased deposits during the one-year period preceding the Eligibility Record Date.

6.

SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF TAX-QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE STOCK BENEFIT PLANS (SECOND PRIORITY).

     Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans (excluding the Association’s 401(k) plan) shall receive, without payment, Subscription Rights to purchase in the aggregate up to 10% of the Common Stock sold in the Offerings, including any shares of Common Stock to be issued as a result of an increase in the Estimated Price Range after commencement of the Subscription Offering and before completion of the Offerings. The subscription rights granted to Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall be subject to the availability of shares of Common Stock after taking into account the shares of Common Stock purchased by Eligible Account Holders; provided, however, that if the total number of shares of Common Stock is increased to any amount greater than the number of shares representing the maximum of the Estimated Price Range as set forth in the Prospectus (“Maximum Shares”), the ESOP shall have a priority right to purchase any such shares exceeding the Maximum Shares up to an aggregate of 10% of Common Stock sold in the Offerings. Shares of Common Stock purchased by any individual participant (“Plan Participant”) in a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan using funds therein pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights granted to such Participant in his individual capacity as an Eligible Account Holder and/or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and/or purchases by such Plan Participant in the Community Offering shall not be deemed to be purchases by a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan for purposes of calculating the maximum amount of Common Stock that Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6 if the individual Plan Participant controls or directs the investment authority with respect to such account or subaccount. Consistent with applicable laws and regulations and policies and practices of the OTS, the Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may use funds contributed by the Holding Company or the Association and/or borrowed from the Holding Company or an independent financial institution to exercise such Subscription Rights, and the Holding Company and the Association may make scheduled discretionary contributions thereto, provided that such contributions do not cause the Association to fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement. The Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may fill their orders to purchase Common Stock, in whole or in part, through open market purchases after the closing of the Offerings, subject to approval of the OTS.

     The Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall not be deemed to be an Associate or Affiliate of or Person Acting in Concert with any Management Person.

7.

SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT HOLDERS (THIRD PRIORITY).

     (a) In the event that the Eligibility Record Date is more than 15 months before the date of OTS approval of the Plan, then, and only in that event, a Supplemental Eligibility Record Date shall be set and each Supplemental Eligible Account Holder shall receive, without payment, Subscription Rights to purchase up to the greater of (i) $250,000 of Common Stock (or such maximum purchase limitation as may be established for the Community Offering and/or Syndicated Community Offering), (ii) one-tenth of 1% of the total offering of shares in the Subscription Offering or (iii) 15 times the product (rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock offered in the Subscription Offering by a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the Qualifying Deposits of the Supplemental Eligible Account Holder and the denominator is the total amount of all Qualifying Deposits of all Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, in each case subject to Sections 10 and 13 hereof and the availability of shares of Common Stock for purchase after taking into account the shares of Common Stock purchased by Eligible Account Holders and Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans through the exercise of Subscription Rights under Sections 5 and 6 hereof.

     (b) In the event of an oversubscription for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7(a), available shares shall be allocated among subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders so as to permit each such Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares sufficient to make his or her total allocation (including the number of shares, if any, allocated in accordance with Section 5(a)) equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares. Any remaining available shares shall be allocated among subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied in the proportion that the amount of their respective Qualifying Deposits bears to the total amount of the Qualifying Deposits of all such subscribing Supplemental Eligible Account Holders whose orders are unfilled, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued.

8.

SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OF OTHER MEMBERS (FOURTH PRIORITY).

     (a) Each Other Member shall receive, without payment, Subscription Rights to purchase up to the greater of (i) $250,000 of Common Stock (or such maximum purchase limitation as may be established for the Community Offering and/or Syndicated Community Offering) and (ii) one-tenth of 1% of the total offering of shares in the Subscription Offering, subject to Sections 10 and 13 hereof and the availability of shares of Common Stock for purchase after taking into account the shares of Common Stock purchased by Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, if any, through the exercise of Subscription Rights under Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof.

     (b) If, pursuant to this Section 8, Other Members subscribe for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the total number of shares of Common Stock remaining, available shares shall be allocated among subscribing Other Members so as to permit each such Other Member, to the extent possible, to purchase a number of shares which will make his or her total allocation equal to the lesser of the number of shares subscribed for or 100 shares. Any remaining available shares shall be allocated among subscribing Other Members whose subscriptions remain unsatisfied on a pro rata basis in the same proportion as each such Other Member’s subscription bears to the total subscriptions of all such subscribing Other Members, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued.

9.

COMMUNITY OFFERING, SYNDICATED COMMUNITY OFFERING, PUBLIC OFFERING AND OTHER OFFERINGS.

     (a) If less than the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the Holding Company are sold in the Subscription Offering, it is anticipated that all remaining shares of Common Stock shall, if practicable, be sold in a Community Offering.

     (b) In the event of a Community Offering, all shares of Common Stock that are not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering shall be offered for sale by means of a direct community marketing program, which may provide for the use of brokers, dealers or investment banking firms experienced in the sale of financial institution securities.

Available shares will be allocated first to each Preferred Subscriber whose order is accepted in an amount equal to the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares subscribed for by each such Preferred Subscriber, if possible. Thereafter, unallocated shares shall be allocated among the Preferred Subscribers whose accepted orders remain unsatisfied in the same proportion that the unfilled order bears to the total unfilled orders of all Preferred Subscribers whose accepted orders remain unsatisfied, provided that no fractional shares shall be issued. If there are any shares remaining after all accepted orders by Preferred Subscribers have been satisfied, such remaining shares shall be allocated to other members of the general public who purchase in the Community Offering, applying the same allocation described above for Preferred Subscribers.

     (d) The amount of Common Stock that any Person may purchase in the Community Offering shall not exceed $250,000 of Common Stock, provided, however, that this amount may be increased to up to 5% of the total offering of shares of Common Stock or decreased to less than $250,000, subject to any required regulatory approval but without the further approval of the Members or the resolicitation of subscribers; and provided further that to the extent applicable, and subject to the preferences set forth in Section 9(b) and (c) of this Plan and the limitations on purchases of Common Stock set forth in this Section 9(d) and Section 10 of this Plan, orders for Common Stock in the Community Offering shall first be filled to a maximum of 2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings and thereafter any remaining shares shall be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all orders have been filled, provided no fractional shares shall be issued. The Holding Company and the Association may commence the Community Offering concurrently with, at any time during, or as soon as practicable after the end of, the Subscription Offering, and the Community Offering must be completed within 45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering, unless extended by the Holding Company and the Association with any required regulatory approval.

     (e) Subject to such terms, conditions and procedures as may be determined by the Holding Company and the Association, all shares of Common Stock not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering or ordered in the Community Offering may be sold by a syndicate of broker-dealers to the general public in a Syndicated Community Offering. Each order for Common Stock in the Syndicated Community Offering

shall be subject to the absolute right of the Holding Company and the Association to accept or reject any such order in whole or in part either at the time of receipt of an order or as soon as practicable after completion of the Syndicated Community Offering. The amount of Common Stock that any Person may purchase in the Syndicated Community Offering shall not exceed $250,000 of Common Stock, provided, however, that this amount may be increased to up to 5% of the total offering of shares of Common Stock or decreased to less than $250,000, subject to any required regulatory approval but without the further approval of the Members or the resolicitation of subscribers; and provided further that, to the extent applicable, and subject to the limitations on purchases of Common Stock set forth in this Section 9(e) and Section 10 of this Plan, orders for Common Stock in the Syndicated Community Offering shall first be filled to a maximum of 2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings and thereafter any remaining shares shall be allocated on an equal number of shares basis per order until all orders have been filled, provided no fractional shares shall be issued. The Holding Company and the Association may commence the Syndicated Community Offering concurrently with, at any time during, or as soon as practicable after the end of, the Subscription Offering and/or Community Offering, and the Syndicated Community Offering must be completed within 45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering, unless extended by the Holding Company and the Association with any required regulatory approval.

     (f) The Holding Company and the Association may sell any shares of Common Stock remaining following the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and/or the Syndicated Community Offering in a Public Offering. The provisions of Section 10 hereof shall not be applicable to the sales to underwriters for purposes of the Public Offering but shall be applicable to sales by the underwriters to the public. The price to be paid by the underwriters in such an offering shall be equal to the Actual Purchase Price less an underwriting discount to be negotiated among such underwriters and the Holding Company and the Association, subject to any required regulatory approval or consent.

     (g) If for any reason a Syndicated Community Offering or Public Offering of shares of Common Stock not sold in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering cannot be effected, or if any insignificant residue of shares of Common Stock is not sold in the Subscription Offering, Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering, the Holding Company and the Association shall use their best efforts to obtain other purchasers for such shares in such manner and upon such conditions as may be satisfactory to the OTS.

10.

LIMITATIONS ON SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK.

     The following limitations shall apply to all purchases of Common Stock in the Offerings:

     (a) The maximum amount of Common Stock that may be subscribed for or purchased in all categories of the Offerings by any Person, together with any Associate or group of Persons Acting in Concert, shall not exceed $400,000 except for Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans.

     (b) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased in the Conversion by the ESOP shall not exceed 8%, and all Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Holding Company Common Stock issued in the Conversion, in each instance, including any shares which may be issued in the event of an increase in the maximum Estimated Price Range to reflect changes in market, financial and economic conditions after commencement of the Subscription Offering and before completion of the Offerings; provided, however, that purchases of Common Stock which are made by Plan Participants pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights granted to such Plan Participant in his or her individual capacity as a Participant or purchases by a Plan Participant in the Community Offering using the funds thereof held in Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall

not be deemed to be purchases by a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan for purposes of this Section 10(b).

     (c) No Person may purchase fewer than 25 shares of Common Stock in the Offerings, to the extent such shares are available; provided, however, that if the Actual Purchase Price is greater than $20.00 per share, such minimum number of shares shall be adjusted so that the aggregate Actual Purchase Price for such minimum shares will not exceed $500.00.

     (d) The maximum amount of Common Stock that directors and officers of the Holding Company or the Association and their Associates may purchase in the aggregate in the Offerings shall not exceed 32% of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings, including any shares which may be issued in the event of an increase in the maximum of the Estimated Price Range to reflect changes in market, financial and economic conditions after commencement of the Subscription Offering and before completion of the Offerings.

     (e) For purposes of the foregoing limitations and the determination of Subscription Rights, (i) directors, Officers and employees of the Holding Company, the Association or their subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be Associates or a group Acting in Concert solely as a result of their capacities as such, (ii) shares purchased by Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans shall not be attributable to the individual trustees or beneficiaries of any such plan for purposes of determining compliance with the limitations set forth in Section 10(b) hereof, and (iii) shares purchased by a Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan pursuant to instructions of an individual in an account in such plan in which the individual has the right to direct the investment, including any plan of the Association qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code, shall be aggregated and included in that individual’s purchases and not attributed to the Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan.

     (f) Subject to any required regulatory approval and the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, but without further approval of the Members, the Holding Company and the Association may increase or decrease any of the individual or aggregate purchase limitations set forth herein to a percentage which does not exceed 5% of the total offering of shares of Common Stock in the Offerings whether before, during or after the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and/or Syndicated Community Offering. If an individual purchase limitation is increased after commencement of the Subscription Offering or any other offering, the Holding Company and the Association shall permit any Person who subscribed for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock to purchase an additional number of shares, so that such Person shall be permitted to subscribe for the then maximum number of shares permitted to be subscribed for by such Person, subject to the rights and preferences of any Person who has priority Subscription Rights. If any of the individual or aggregate purchase limitations are decreased after commencement of the Subscription Offering or any other offering, the orders of any Person who subscribed for more than the new purchase limitation shall be decreased by the minimum amount necessary so that such Person shall be in compliance with the then maximum number of shares permitted to be subscribed for by such Person. In the event that the maximum purchase limitation is increased to 5% of the shares sold in the Offerings, such limitation may be further increased to 9.99%, provided that orders for Common Stock exceeding 5% of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings shall not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the total shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings.

     (g) The Holding Company and the Association shall have the right to take all such action as they may, in their sole discretion, deem necessary, appropriate or advisable to monitor and enforce the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions contained in this Section 10 and elsewhere in this Plan and the terms, conditions and representations contained in the Order Form, including, but not limited to, the absolute right (subject only to any necessary regulatory approvals or concurrences) to reject, limit or revoke acceptance of

any subscription or order and to delay, terminate or refuse to consummate any sale of Common Stock that they believe might violate, or is designed to, or is any part of a plan to, evade or circumvent such terms, conditions, limitations, restrictions and representations. Any such action shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, and the Holding Company, the Association and their respective Boards shall be free from any liability to any Person on account of any such action.

11.

TIMING OF SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING; MANNER OF EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS AND ORDER FORMS.

     (a) The Offerings shall be conducted in compliance with Part 563g of the Rules and Regulations of the OTS, to the extent applicable, and Form OC.

     (b) The exact timing of the commencement of the Subscription Offering shall be determined by the Holding Company and the Association in consultation with the Independent Appraiser and any financial or advisory or investment banking firm retained by them in connection with the Conversion. The Holding Company and the Association may consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to, their current and projected future earnings, local and national economic conditions, and the prevailing market for stocks in general and stocks of financial institutions in particular. The Holding Company and the Association shall have the right to withdraw, terminate, suspend, delay, revoke or modify any such Subscription Offering, at any time and from time to time, as they in their sole discretion may determine, without liability to any Person, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and any necessary regulatory approval or concurrence.

     (c) Promptly after the SEC has declared the Registration Statement, which includes the Prospectus, effective and all required regulatory approvals have been obtained, the Holding Company shall, distribute or make available the Prospectus, together with Order Forms for the purchase of Common Stock, to all Participants for the purpose of enabling them to exercise their respective Subscription Rights, subject to Section 13 hereof.

     (d) A single Order Form for all Deposit Accounts maintained with the Association by an Eligible Account Holder and any Supplemental Eligible Account Holder may be furnished, irrespective of the number of Deposit Accounts maintained with the Association on the Eligibility Record Date and Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, respectively. No person holding a Subscription Right may exceed any otherwise applicable purchase limitation by submitting multiple orders for Common Stock. Multiple orders are subject to adjustment, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis and deposit balances will be divided equally among such orders in allocating shares in the event of an oversubscription.

     (e) The recipient of an Order Form shall have no less than 20 days and no more than 45 days from the date of mailing of the Order Form (with the exact termination date to be set forth on the Order Form) to properly complete and execute the Order Form and deliver it to the Holding Company. The Holding Company may extend such period by such amount of time as it determines is appropriate. Failure of any Participant to deliver a properly executed Order Form to the Holding Company, along with full payment (or authorization for full payment by withdrawal) for the shares of Common Stock subscribed for, within the time limits prescribed, shall be deemed a waiver and release by such person of any rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock. Each Participant shall be required to confirm to the Holding Company by executing an Order Form that such Person has fully complied with all of the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions in the Plan.

     (f) The Holding Company and the Association shall have the absolute right, in their sole discretion and without liability to any Participant or other Person, to reject any Order Form, including, but not limited to, any Order Form that is (i) improperly completed or executed; (ii) not timely received; (iii) not accompanied by the proper and full payment (or authorization of withdrawal for full payment) or, in the case

of institutional investors in the Community Offering, not accompanied by an irrevocable order together with a legally binding commitment to pay the full amount of the purchase price before 48 hours before the completion of the Offerings; or (iv) submitted by a Person whose representations the Holding Company and the Association believe to be false or who they otherwise believe, either alone, or Acting in Concert with others, is violating, evading or circumventing, or intends to violate, evade or circumvent, the terms and conditions of the Plan. Furthermore, in the event Order Forms (i) are not delivered and are returned to the Holding Company by the United States Postal Service or the Holding Company is unable to locate the addressee, or (ii) are not mailed pursuant to a “no mail” order placed in effect by the account holder, the Subscription Rights of the Person to which such rights have been granted will lapse as though such Person failed to return the contemplated Order Form within the time period specified thereon. The Holding Company and the Association may, but will not be required to, waive any irregularity on any Order Form or may require the submission of corrected Order Forms or the remittance of full payment for shares of Common Stock by such date as they may specify. The interpretation of the Holding Company and the Association of the terms and conditions of the Order Forms shall be final and conclusive.

12.

PAYMENT FOR COMMON STOCK.

     (a) Payment for shares of Common Stock subscribed for by Participants in the Subscription Offering and payment for shares of Common Stock ordered by Persons in the Community Offering shall be equal to the Initial Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares that are being subscribed for or ordered, respectively. Such payment may be made in cash, if delivered in person, or by check, bank draft or money order at the time the Order Form is delivered to the Holding Company, provided that checks will only be accepted subject to collection. The Holding Company and the Association, in their sole and absolute discretion, may also elect to receive payment for shares of Common Stock by wire transfer. In addition, the Holding Company may elect to provide Participants and/or other Persons who have a Deposit Account with the Association the opportunity to pay for shares of Common Stock by authorizing the Association to withdraw from such Deposit Account an amount equal to the aggregate Initial Purchase Price of such shares. Payment may also be made by a Participant using funds held for such Participant’s benefit by an Association Benefit Plan to the extent that such plan allows participants or any related trust established for the benefit of such participants to direct that some or all of their individual accounts or sub-accounts be invested in Common Stock. If the Actual Purchase Price is less than the Initial Purchase Price, the Holding Company shall refund the difference to all Participants and other Persons, unless the Holding Company chooses to provide Participants and other Persons the opportunity on the Order Form to elect to have such difference applied to the purchase of additional whole shares of Common Stock. If the Actual Purchase Price is more than the Initial Purchase Price, the Holding Company shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock ordered by Participants and other Persons and refund any remaining amount that is attributable to a fractional share interest, unless the Holding Company chooses to provide Participants and other Persons the opportunity to increase the Actual Purchase Price submitted by them.

     (b) Notwithstanding the above, if the Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans subscribe for shares during the Subscription Offering, such plans will not be required to pay for the shares at the time they subscribe but rather may pay for such shares of Common Stock subscribed for by such plans at the Actual Purchase Price upon consummation of the Conversion, provided that, in the case of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, there is in force from the time of its subscription until the consummation of the Offerings, a loan commitment to lend to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, at such time, the aggregate price of the shares for which it subscribed.

     (c) If a Participant or other Person authorizes the Association to withdraw the amount of the Initial Purchase Price from his or her Deposit Account, the Association shall have the right to make such withdrawal or to freeze funds equal to the aggregate Initial Purchase Price upon receipt of the Order Form.

Notwithstanding any regulatory provisions regarding penalties for early withdrawals from certificate accounts, the Association may allow payment by means of withdrawal from certificate accounts without the assessment of such penalties. In the case of an early withdrawal of only a portion of such account, the certificate evidencing such account shall be canceled if any applicable minimum balance requirement ceases to be met. In such case, the remaining balance will earn interest at the regular passbook rate. However, where any applicable minimum balance is maintained in such certificate account, the rate of return on the balance of the certificate account shall remain the same as before such early withdrawal. This waiver of the early withdrawal penalty applies only to withdrawals made in connection with the purchase of Common Stock and is entirely within the discretion of the Holding Company and the Association.

     (d) The subscription funds will be held by the Association. The Holding Company shall pay interest, at not less than the Association’s passbook rate, for all amounts paid in cash, by check, bank draft or money order to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Subscription Offering and the Community Offering from the date payment is received until the date the Offerings are completed or terminated.

     (e) The Holding Company will not offer or sell any of the Common Stock proposed to be issued to any Person whose purchase would be financed by funds loaned, directly or indirectly, to the Person by the Association.

     (f) Each share of Common Stock shall be non-assessable upon payment in full of the Actual Purchase Price.

13.

ACCOUNT HOLDERS IN NONQUALIFIED STATES OR FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

     The Holding Company and the Association shall make reasonable efforts to comply with the securities laws of all jurisdictions in the United States in which Participants reside. However, no Participant will be offered or receive any Common Stock under the Plan if such Participant resides in a foreign country or resides in a jurisdiction of the United States with respect to which any of the following apply: (a) there are few Participants otherwise eligible to subscribe for shares under this Plan who reside in such jurisdiction; (b) the granting of Subscription Rights or the offer or sale of shares of Common Stock to such Participants would require any of the Holding Company or the Association or their respective directors and Officers, under the laws of such jurisdiction, to register as a broker-dealer, salesman or selling agent or to register or otherwise qualify the Common Stock for sale in such jurisdiction, or any of the Holding Company or the Association would be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or file a consent to service of process in such jurisdiction; or (c) such registration, qualification or filing in the judgment of the Holding Company and the Association would be impracticable or unduly burdensome for reasons of cost or otherwise.

14.

REQUIREMENTS FOLLOWING THE CONVERSION FOR REGISTRATION, MARKET MAKING AND STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING.

     In connection with the Conversion, the Holding Company shall register the Common Stock pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall undertake not to deregister such stock for a period of three years thereafter. The Holding Company also shall use its best efforts to (i) encourage and assist a market maker to establish and maintain a market for the Common Stock, and (ii) list the Common Stock on a national or regional securities exchange or to have quotations for such stock disseminated on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

15.

LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT.

     (a) At the time of the Conversion, the Association shall establish a liquidation account in an amount equal to the Association’s net worth as reflected in its statement of financial condition contained in the Prospectus used in the Conversion. The function of the liquidation account will be to preserve the rights of certain holders of Deposit Accounts in the Association who maintain such accounts in the Association following the Conversion to a priority to distributions in the unlikely event of a liquidation of the Association subsequent to the Conversion.

     (b) The liquidation account shall be maintained for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, if any, who maintain their Deposit Accounts in the Association after the Conversion. Each such account holder will, with respect to each Deposit Account held, have a related inchoate interest in a portion of the liquidation account balance, which interest will be referred to in this Section 15 as the “subaccount balance.” All Deposit Accounts having the same social security number will be aggregated for purposes of determining the initial subaccount balance with respect to such Deposit Accounts, except as provided in Section 15(d) hereof.

     (c) In the event of a complete liquidation of the Association subsequent to the Conversion (and only in such event), each Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if any, shall be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current subaccount balances for Deposit Accounts then held (adjusted as described below) before any liquidation distribution may be made with respect to the capital stock of the Association. No merger, consolidation, sale of bulk assets or similar combination transaction with another FDIC-insured institution in which the Association is not the surviving entity shall be considered a complete liquidation for this purpose. In any such transaction, the liquidation account shall be assumed by the surviving entity.

     (d) The initial subaccount balance for a Deposit Account held by an Eligible Account Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if any, shall be determined by multiplying the opening balance in the liquidation account by a fraction, of which the numerator is the amount of the Qualifying Deposits of such account holder and the denominator is the total amount of Qualifying Deposits of all Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, if any. For Deposit Accounts in existence at both the Eligibility Record Date and the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, if any, separate initial subaccount balances shall be determined on the basis of the Qualifying Deposits in such Deposit Accounts on each such record date. Initial subaccount balances shall not be increased, and shall be subject to downward adjustment as provided below.

     (e) If the aggregate deposit balance in the Deposit Account(s) of any Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if any, at the close of business on any annual closing date (which date is the Association’s fiscal year end), commencing on or after the effective date of the Conversion, is less than the lesser of (a) the aggregate deposit balance in such Deposit Account(s) at the close of business on any other annual closing date subsequent to such record dates or (b) the aggregate deposit balance in such Deposit Account(s) as of the Eligibility Record Date or the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date, if any, the subaccount balance for such Deposit Account(s) shall be adjusted by reducing such subaccount balance in an amount proportionate to the reduction in such deposit balance. In the event of such a downward adjustment, the subaccount balance shall not be subsequently increased, notwithstanding any subsequent increase in the deposit balance of the related Deposit Account(s). The subaccount balance of an Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if any, will be reduced to zero if the Account Holder ceases to maintain a Deposit Account at the Association that has the same social security number as appeared on his Deposit Account(s) at the Eligibility Record Date or, if applicable, the Supplemental Eligibility Record Date.

     (f) After the Conversion, the Association may not pay cash dividends generally on deposit accounts and/or capital stock of the Association, or repurchase any of the capital stock of the Association, if

such dividend or repurchase would reduce the Association’s regulatory capital below the aggregate amount of the then current subaccount balances for Deposit Accounts then held; otherwise, the existence of the liquidation account shall not operate to restrict the use or application of any of the net worth accounts of the Association.

     (g) For purposes of this Section 15, a Deposit Account includes a predecessor or successor account which is held by an Account Holder with the same social security number.

16.

COMPLETION OF THE CONVERSION.

     The effective date of the Conversion shall be the date of the closing of the sale of all shares of Common Stock. The closing of the sale of all shares of Common Stock sold in the Offerings shall occur simultaneously and shall be conditioned upon the prior receipt of all requisite regulatory and other approvals.

17.

REQUIREMENTS FOR STOCK PURCHASES BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS FOLLOWING THE CONVERSION.

     For a period of three years following the Conversion, the directors and Officers of the Holding Company and the Association and their Associates may not purchase Common Stock without the prior written approval of the OTS except from a broker-dealer registered with the SEC. This prohibition shall not apply, however, to (i) a negotiated transaction involving more than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) purchases of stock made by and held by any Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan (and purchases of stock made by and held by any Non-Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plan following the receipt of shareholder approval of such plan) even if such Common Stock may be attributable to individual Officers or directors and their Associates. The foregoing restriction on purchases of Common Stock shall be in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed by federal and state securities laws.

18.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF STOCK.

     All shares of Common Stock that are purchased by Persons other than directors and Officers of the Holding Company or the Association shall be transferable without restriction. Shares of Common Stock purchased by directors and Officers of the Holding Company or the Association on original issue from the Holding Company (by subscription or otherwise) shall be subject to the restriction that such shares shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of for value for a period of one year following the date of purchase, except for any disposition of such shares following the death of the original purchaser. The shares of Common Stock issued by the Holding Company to such directors and Officers shall bear the following legend giving appropriate notice of such one-year restriction:

“The shares of stock evidenced by this Certificate are restricted as to transfer for a period of one year from the date of this Certificate pursuant to Part 563b of the Rules and Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. These shares may not be transferred during such one-year period without a legal opinion of counsel for the Company that said transfer is permissible under the provisions of applicable law and regulation. This restrictive legend shall be deemed null and void after one year from the date of this Certificate.”

In addition, the Holding Company shall give appropriate instructions to the transfer agent for the Holding Company with respect to the applicable restrictions relating to the transfer of restricted stock. Any shares issued at a later date as a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise with respect to any such restricted stock shall

be subject to the same holding period restrictions as may then be applicable to such restricted stock. The foregoing restriction on transfer shall be in addition to any restrictions on transfer that may be imposed by federal and state securities laws.

19.

STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS.

     (a) The Holding Company and the Association are authorized to adopt Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans in connection with the Conversion, including without limitation an ESOP.

     (b) Subsequent to the Conversion, the Holding Company and the Association are authorized to adopt Non-Tax Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans, including without limitation, stock option plans and restricted stock plans. In addition, any such plan implemented during the one-year period subsequent to the date of consummation of the Conversion: (i) shall be disclosed in the Prospectus; (ii) in the case of stock option plans and employee recognition or grant plans, shall be submitted for approval by the holders of the Common Stock no earlier than six months following consummation of the Conversion; and (iii) shall comply with all other applicable requirements of the OTS.

     (c) Existing, as well as any newly created, Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans may purchase shares of Common Stock in the Offerings, to the extent permitted by the terms of such benefit plans and this Plan.

     (d) The Holding Company and the Association are authorized to enter into employment or severance agreements with their executive officers.

20.

DIVIDEND AND REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS ON 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 Association to be reduced below the amount required under § 567.2 of the OTS rules and regulations. Otherwise, the Holding Company may declare dividends or make other capital distributions in accordance with § 563b.520 of the Rules and Regulations of the OTS. Following completion of the Conversion, the Holding Company may repurchase its Common Stock consistent with § 563b.510 and § 563b.515 of the Rules and Regulations of the OTS relating to stock repurchases, as long as such repurchases do not cause the regulatory capital of the Association to be reduced below the amount required under the Rules and Regulations of the OTS.

21.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

     If deemed necessary or desirable by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association, this Plan may be substantively amended, as a result of comments from regulatory authorities or otherwise, at any time before the solicitation of proxies from Voting Members to vote on the Plan and at any time thereafter with the concurrence of the OTS.

     Before the Special Meeting, this Plan may be terminated by the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association without approval of the OTS. After the Special Meeting, the Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Association may terminate this Plan only with the concurrence of the OTS.

     This Plan shall terminate if the Conversion is not completed within 24 months from the date that the Plan is approved by the Voting Members at the Special Meeting.

22.

INTERPRETATION OF THE PLAN.

     All interpretations of this Plan and application of its provisions to particular circumstances by a majority of each of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company and the Board of Directors of the Association shall be final, subject to the authority of the OTS.

FEDERAL STOCK CHARTER
OF
FRATERNITY FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION

     Section 1. Corporate Title. The full corporate title of the savings association is Fraternity Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”).

     Section 2. Office. The Association’s home office shall be located in the City of Baltimore, Maryland.

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

     Section 4. Purpose and Powers. The purpose of the Association 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 Thrift Supervision (the “Office”).

     Section 5. Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of the capital stock that the Association has the authority to issue is eleven thousand (11,000), of which ten thousand (10,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and of which one thousand (1,000) shares shall be serial preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. The shares may be issued from time to time as authorized by the board of directors without further approval of 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 value. Neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for the issuance of shares of the Association. 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 Association), labor, or services actually performed for the Association, 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 Association, 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 Association 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 Association or in connection with the conversion of the Association from the mutual to 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 Association other than as part of a general public offering or as qualifying shares to a director, unless their 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: Provided, That this restriction on voting separately by class or series shall not apply:

     (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 Association 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 Association 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 Office, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;

     (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 which 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 association in a merger or consolidation for the Association, shall not be considered to be such an adverse change.

     A description of the different classes and series (if any) of the Association’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 (if any) of capital stock are as follows:

     A. Common Stock. Except as provided in this Section 5 (or in any supplementary sections hereto) the holders of the 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 each holder and there shall be no right to cumulate votes in an election of directors.

     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 Association, 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 Association available for distribution remaining after: (i) payment or provision for payment of the Association’s debts and liabilities; (ii) distributions or provisions 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 Association. 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 Association 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:

     (a) The distinctive serial designation and the number of shares constituting such 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 Association shall file with the Secretary of the Office 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 Association shall not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the Association which may be issued.

The authorized number of directors, as stated in the Association’s bylaws, shall not be fewer than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15), except when a greater or lesser number is approved by the Director of the Office, or his or her delegate.

     Section 8. Certain Provisions Applicable for Five Years. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Association’s charter and or bylaws to the contrary, for a period of five (5) years from the date of completion of the conversion of the Association 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 Association. This limitation shall not apply to a transaction in which the Association 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 shares by a tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan which is exempt from the approval requirements under 574.3(c)(1)(vii) of the Office’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.

     For the 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 Association.

     (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 (i) knowing participation in a joint activity or conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, or (ii) 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.

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

     Section 9. Liquidation Account. Under Office regulations, the Association must establish and maintain a liquidation account for the benefit of its savings account holders as of June 30, 2009 and [supplemental eligibility record date]. If the Association undergoes a complete liquidation, it must comply with Office regulations with respect to the amount and priorities on liquidation of each of the savings account holders’ interests in the liquidation account. A savings account holder’s interest in the liquidation account does not entitle the savings account holder to any voting rights.

     Section 10. 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 Association, approved by the stockholders 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 Office.

Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “Office”), may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, or a majority of the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, or the secretary upon the written request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the outstanding capital stock of the Association entitled to vote at the meeting. Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered at the home office of the Association addressed to the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, 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 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 chief executive officer 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 twenty (20) nor more than fifty (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 chief executive officer, or 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 Association 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 thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time and place of any meeting adjourned for less than thirty (30) days or of the business to be transacted at the meeting, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

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 sixty (60) days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not fewer than ten (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 twenty (20) days before each meeting of the shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Association 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 Association 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 twenty (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. 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. In lieu of making the shareholder list available for inspection by shareholders as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Board of Directors may elect to follow the procedures prescribed in § 552.6(d) of the Office’s regulations as now or hereafter in effect.

Section 8. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Association 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 which 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 constitute 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 so 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.

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 Association to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Association 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 stock and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.

Section 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 Association 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 Association 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 Association, 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. 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 chief executive officer 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 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 chief executive officer.

Unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the Office, 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. 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 twenty (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 Association. 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 Association at least five (5) 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 Association. 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 twenty (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 14. 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 Association at least five (5) days before the date of the annual meeting, and all other 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 (5) days before the meeting, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an adjourned, special, or annual meeting of the shareholders taking place thirty (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 15. 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 Association shall be under the direction of its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall annually elect a chairman of the board, a chief executive officer and a president from among its members and shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer to preside at its meetings.

Section 2. Number and Term. The Board of Directors shall consist of five (5) members, and shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible.

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 conference telephone or similar communications device through which all persons participating can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person for all purposes.

Section 4. Qualification. Each director shall at all times be the beneficial owner of not less than 100 shares of capital stock of the Association unless the Association 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 chief executive officer, or one-third of the directors. The persons authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place, within the Association’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 (5) days prior thereto when delivered by mail to 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 Association 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 7. 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 6 of this Article III.

Section 8. 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 regulation of the Office or by these bylaws.

Section 9. 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 10. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by sending a written notice of such resignation to the home office of the Association addressed to the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer. Unless otherwise specified, such resignation shall take effect upon receipt by the chairman of the board or the chief executive officer. 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 11. 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 by reason 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 12. 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 13. Presumption of Assent. A director of the Association who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any Association 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 Association within five (5) 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 14. Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed only for cause 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 15. Integrity of Directors. A person is not qualified to serve as director if he or she: (1) 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, or (2) is a person against who a banking agency has, within the past ten years, issued a cease and desist order for conduct involving dishonesty or breach of trust and that order is final and not subject to appeal, or (3) has been found either by a regulatory agency whose decision is final and not subject to appeal or by a court to have (i) breached a fiduciary duty involving personal profit or (ii) 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.

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 chief executive officer and two or more of the other directors to constitute an executive committee. The designation of any committee pursuant to this Article IV 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 Association, 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 Association otherwise than in the usual and regular course of its business; a voluntary dissolution of the Association; 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. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Article IV, each member of the executive committee shall hold office until the next regular annual meeting of the Board of Directors following his or her designation and until a successor is designated as a member of the executive committee.

Section 4. Meetings. Regular meetings of the executive committee may be held without notice at such times and places as the executive committee may fix from time to time by resolution. Special meetings of the executive committee may be called by any member thereof upon not less than one day’s notice stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting, which notice may be written or oral. Any member of the executive committee may waive notice of any meeting and no notice of any meeting need be given

to any member thereof who attends in person. The notice of a meeting of the executive committee need not state the business proposed to be transacted at the meeting.

Section 8. Resignations and Removal. Any member of the executive committee may be removed at any time with or without cause by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors. Any member of the executive committee may resign from the executive committee at any time by giving written notice to the president or secretary of the Association. Unless otherwise specified, such resignation shall take effect upon its receipt; the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 9. Procedure. The executive committee shall elect a presiding officer from its members and may fix its own rules of procedure which shall not be inconsistent with these bylaws. It shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors for its information at the meeting held next after the proceedings shall have occurred.

Section 10. Other Committees. The Board of Directors may by resolution establish an audit, loan, or other committee composed of directors as they may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Association and may prescribe the duties, constitution, and procedures thereof.

Article V — Officers

Section 1. Positions. The officers of the Association shall be a chief executive officer, a president, one or more vice presidents, a secretary, and a treasurer or comptroller, each of whom shall be elected by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may also designate the chairman of the board as an officer. The offices of the secretary and treasurer or comptroller may be held by the same person and a vice president may also be either the secretary or the treasurer or comptroller. The Board of Directors may designate one or more vice presidents as executive vice president or senior vice president. The Board of Directors may also elect or authorize the appointment of such other officers as the business of the Association may require. The officers shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board of Directors may from time to time authorize or determine. In the absence of action by the Board of Directors, the officers shall have such powers and duties as generally pertain to their respective offices.

Section 2. Election and Term of Office. The officers of the Association shall be elected annually at the first meeting of the Board of Directors held after each annual meeting of the shareholders. If the election of officers is not held at such meeting, such election shall be held as soon thereafter as 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

Association to enter into an employment contract with any officer in accordance with regulations of the Office; 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 Association 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.

Section 4. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office because of death, resignation, removal, disqualification, or otherwise, may be filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

Section 5. Remuneration. The remuneration of the officers shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Article VI — Contracts, Loans, Checks, and Deposits

To the extent permitted by regulations of the Office, and except as otherwise prescribed by these bylaws with respect to certificates for shares, the Board of Directors may authorize any officer, employee, or agent of the Association to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Association. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 2. Loans. No loans shall be contracted on behalf of the Association and no evidence of indebtedness shall be issued in its name unless authorized by the Board of Directors. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 3. Checks; Drafts. etc. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Association shall be signed by one or more officers, employees, or agents of the Association in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Deposits. All funds of the Association not otherwise employed shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the Association in any duly authorized depositories as the Board of Directors may select.

Article VII — Certificates for Shares and Their Transfer

Section 1. Certificates for Shares. Certificates representing shares of capital stock of the Association shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and approved by the Office. Such certificates shall be signed by the chief executive officer or by any other officer of the Association authorized by the Board of Directors, attested by the secretary or an assistant secretary, and sealed with the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. The signatures of such officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar other than the Association itself or one of its employees. Each certificate for shares of capital stock shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the Association. All certificates surrendered to the Association for transfer shall be cancelled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares has been surrendered and cancelled, except that in the case of a lost or destroyed certificate, a new certificate may be issued upon such terms and indemnity to the Association as the Board of Directors may prescribe.
