Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual

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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article XII of the Company's Bylaws provides that "the Company shall indemnify its personnel,
including directors, officers, and employees, to the fullest extent authorized by applicable law
and regulations, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended."
In addition, Section 545.121 of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations provides
indemnification for directors and officers of Northfield Bank (the "Bank"), following the
completion of the Bank's charter conversion. All the directors and officers of the Company hold
the same position with the Bank and have indemnification under OTS Regulations as described below.
Generally, federal regulations define areas for indemnity coverage for federal savings
associations as follows:
(a) Any person against whom any action is brought or threatened because that person is or was
a director or officer of the savings association shall be indemnified by the savings association
for:
(i)
Any amount for which that person becomes liable under a
judgment in such action; and
(ii)
Reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, actually paid or incurred by that person in defending or settling such
action, or in enforcing his or her rights under this section if he or she
attains a favorable judgment in such enforcement action.
(b) Indemnification shall be made to such person under paragraph (b) of this Section only if:
(i)
Final judgment on the merits is in his or her favor; or
(ii)
In case of:
a. Settlement,
b. Final judgment against him or her, or
c. Final judgment in his or her favor, other than on the merits, if a majority of the
disinterested directors of the savings association determine that he or she was acting in good
faith within the scope of his or her employment or authority as he or she could reasonably have
perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he or she could reasonably have believed
under the circumstances was in the best interest of the savings association or its members.
However, no indemnification shall be made unless the association gives the OTS at least 60 days
notice of its intention to make such indemnification. Such notice shall state the facts on
which the action arose, the terms of any settlement, and any disposition of the action by a
court. Such notice, a copy thereof, and a certified copy of the resolution containing the
required determination by the board of directors shall be sent to the Regional Director, who
shall promptly acknowledge receipt thereof. The notice period shall run from the date of such
receipt. No such indemnification shall be made if the OTS advises the association in writing,
within such notice period, of its objection thereto.
2
(c) As used in this paragraph:
(i)
"Action" means any judicial or administrative proceeding, or
threatened proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or otherwise, including any
appeal or other proceeding for review;
(ii)
"Court" includes, without limitation, any court to which or in
which any appeal or any proceeding for review is brought;
(iii)
"Final Judgment" means a judgment, decree, or order which is
not appealable or as to which the period for appeal has expired with no appeal
taken;
(iv)
"Settlement" includes the entry of a judgment by consent or
confession or a plea of guilty or of
nolo contendere
.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the
plan distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in this Registration Statement;
3
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof;
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Plan;
4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating
to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
5. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
