is made to Sections 721 to 725 of the New York Business Corporation Law (&ldquo;NYBCL&rdquo;) which provide for indemnification of directors
and officers, subject to certain limitations, for liabilities and expenses in connection with actions or proceedings involving them in
such capacity. Pursuant to Section&nbsp;721 of the NYBCL, no indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if
a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith
or were the results of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally
gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled. Section&nbsp;402(b)&nbsp;of the NYBCL
permits a certificate of incorporation to set forth a provision limiting or eliminating the personal liability of directors to a corporation
or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity, provided that no such provision shall eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i)&nbsp;if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to him or her establishes that his or her acts were
in bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or (ii)&nbsp;that he or she personally gained in fact a
financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled, or (iii)&nbsp;in certain other cases specified in Section&nbsp;719

Sixth and Seven of the Certificate of Incorporation of Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the &ldquo;Corporation&rdquo;) set forth circumstances
under which directors, officers, employees and agents of the Corporation may be insured or indemnified against liability which they incur
in their capacities as such:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">SIXTH:&nbsp;
No director of the Corporation shall have any personal liability to the Corporation or its shareholders for damage resulting from any
breach of such director&rsquo;s duties as a director of the Corporation, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of any director if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to him establishes that his acts or omissions were in bad
faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled or that his acts violated Section&nbsp;719 of the NYBCL.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; background-color: white">SEVENTH:&nbsp;
The Corporation shall indemnify any present or former officer or director of the Corporation or the personal representatives thereof,
made or threatened to be made a party in any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate
is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or served any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan, or other enterprise in any capacity at the request of the Corporation, against judgments, fines (including excise tax assessed on
such a person in connection with service to an employee benefit plan), amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including without
limitation, court costs, attorneys&rsquo; fees and disbursements and those of accountants and other experts and consultants incurred as
a result of such action or proceeding or any appeal therein, all of which expenses as incurred shall be advanced by the Corporation pending
the final disposition of such action or proceeding.&nbsp; Such required indemnification shall be subject only to the exception that no
indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer in the event and to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to
which he was not legally entitled (provided, however, that indemnification shall be made upon any successful appeal of any such adverse
judgment or final adjudication).&nbsp; For purposes of this article, the Corporation shall be deemed to have requested such present or
former officer or director to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Corporation also
imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan.&nbsp; The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any and other rights to which any such person, his testator or intestate,
may be entitled apart from this provision.</P>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>
