Any such Wire may also amend or modify such provisions of this Master SDA in respect of the Offering to which such Wire relates, and may contain such supplementary provisions as may be specified in any Wire relating to an Offering.

Unless otherwise indicated in any such Wire, acceptances and other communications by you with respect to an Offering should be sent pursuant to the terms of Section 19 hereof. Notwithstanding that we may not have sent you a Wire or other form of invitation to participate in such Offering or that you may not otherwise have responded by wire or other written communication (any such communication being deemed “In Writing”) to any such Wire or other form of invitation, you will be deemed to have accepted the terms of our offer to participate as a Selected Dealer and of this Master SDA (as amended, modified or supplemented by any Wire) by your purchase of Securities or otherwise receiving and retaining an economic benefit for participating in the Offering as a Selected Dealer. We reserve the right to reject any acceptance in whole or in part.

Any application for additional Securities will be subject to rejection in whole or in part.
The Offering In accordance with a plan of conversion adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Plan”), the Bank intends to convert from the mutual form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. Pursuant to the Plan, the Holding Company will offer and sell up to 3,680,000 shares (subject to increase up to 4,232,000 shares) (the “Shares” or “Offer Shares”) of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to (1) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits (as defined in the Plan) as of September 30, 2012 (“Eligible Account Holders”), (2) the Bank’s tax-qualified employee plans, including the employee stock ownership plan established by the Bank (the “ESOP”), (3) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (as defined in the Plan); and (4) Other Members (as defined in the Plan). Subject to the prior subscription rights of the above-listed parties, the Holding Company may offer for sale in a community offering (the “Community Offering” and when referred to together with or subsequent to the Subscription Offering, the “Subscription and Community Offering”) the Offer Shares not subscribed for or ordered in the Subscription Offering to members of the general public to whom a copy of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) is delivered with a preference given to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Community (as defined in the Plan), and thereafter to cover orders of other members of the general public. It is anticipated that any Shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering may be offered to certain members of the general public on a best efforts basis through a selected dealers agreement (the “Syndicated Community Offering”) (the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering are collectively referred to as the “Offering”). It is acknowledged that the purchase of Offer Shares in the Offering is subject to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Holding Company may reject, in whole or in part, any orders received in the Community Offering or the Syndicated Community Offering. In connection with the Conversion, the Bank filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) an application on Form AC for conversion to a stock bank (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices, the “Conversion Application”) and amendments thereto as required by the OCC in accordance with the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (the “HOLA”), and 12 C.F.R. Part 192. The Holding Company has filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) an application on Form H-(e)1 (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices, the “Holding Company Application”) to become a unitary savings and loan holding company under the HOLA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, the Holding Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-194501) (the “Registration Statement”), containing a prospectus relating to the Offering, for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and has filed such amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof. The term “Registration Statement” shall include any documents incorporated by reference therein and all financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended, including post-effective amendments. The prospectus, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by the Holding Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) differing from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission.
