extent such laws or regulations apply to the Company or the Bank, as applicable. The Company has no knowledge of any facts and circumstances,

of lower than &ldquo;satisfactory,&rdquo; or (B)&nbsp;to be deemed to be operating in violation, in any material respect, of the Bank
Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act or any order issued with respect to the Anti-Money Laundering Laws (as defined below). As of December&nbsp;31,
2023, the Bank met or exceeded the standards necessary to be considered &ldquo;well capitalized&rdquo; under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action of the FDIC. The Bank is the only depository institution subsidiary of the Company and the Bank is a member
in good standing of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The activities of the Bank are permitted under the laws and regulations of the
State of New York. Since December&nbsp;31, 2021, the Company, and the Bank have filed all material reports, registrations and statements,
together with any required amendments thereto, that it was required to file with the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the NYSDFS, and any other
applicable federal or state banking authorities. All such reports and statements filed with any such regulatory body or authority are
collectively referred to herein as the &ldquo;Company Reports.&rdquo; As of their respective dates, the Company Reports, as amended, complied
as to form in all material respects with all the rules&nbsp;and regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and any other
applicable federal or state banking authorities, as the case may be. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure
Package and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor the Bank is currently a party or subject to any formal or informal agreement, memorandum
of understanding, consent decree, directive, cease-and-desist order, order of prohibition or suspension, written commitment, supervisory
agreement or other written statement as described under 12 U.S.C. 1818(u)&nbsp;with, or order issued by, or has adopted any currently
effective board resolutions at the request of, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the NYSDFS or any other applicable federal or state bank
regulatory authority that restricts materially the conduct of its business, or in any manner relates to its capital adequacy, its credit
policies or its management, nor have any of them been advised by any Bank Regulatory Authority that it is contemplating issuing or requesting
(or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, extraordinary
supervisory letter, commitment letter or similar submission, or any such board resolutions or that imposes any restrictions or requirements
not generally applicable to bank holding companies or commercial banks. There is no unresolved violation, criticism or exception by any
Bank Regulatory Authority with respect to any examination of the Company or the Bank which might reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.</P>

received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give promptly
the notice required under subsection (c)&nbsp;above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page&nbsp;of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other
and the parties&rsquo; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d)&nbsp;were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this
subsection (d)&nbsp;shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount which such Underwriter received in underwriting discounts and commissions
pursuant to this Agreement has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f)&nbsp;of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled
to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company and the Bank in
this subsection (d)&nbsp;to contribute are joint and several. The Underwriters&rsquo; obligations in this subsection (d)&nbsp;to contribute
are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.</P>
