</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law confers authority on Delaware corporations
to indemnify their officers, directors, employees, agents and fiduciaries of employee benefit plans
and those persons serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another enterprise in connection with litigation brought by reason of the fact that such
person serves in such capacity. The statue distinguishes between suits brought by a corporation
itself, either directly or derivatively, against corporate officials on the one hand, and all other
actions or proceedings against such officials, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, arising from their performance of corporate duties. In the case of the latter type
of action, &#167; 145(a) authorizes a corporation to indemnify covered individuals against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Any indemnification under
&#167; 145(a) requires that the indemnitee have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her action was
unlawful.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Where an action is brought against the potential indemnitee either by the corporation itself
or by a stockholder derivatively on its behalf, indemnity is limited by &#167; 145(b) to the reasonable
expenses of defense and does not encompass any amounts paid by way of settlement or satisfaction of
a judgment. Furthermore, no indemnity under &#167; 145(b), even of reasonable expenses, may be made in
connection with any matter as to which the person has been adjudged liable, unless the court having
jurisdiction over the matter expressly determines that such person is entitled to indemnity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, whether an officer, director, employee, or agent is entitled to indemnification
under &#167; 145(a) or (b)&nbsp;is contingent upon a determination in each case that the standard of conduct
has been met. Section 145(d) requires that (unless ordered by a court) such a determination be
made:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under &#167; 145(c), indemnification is mandated to the extent that a director or officer has been
successful on the merits, or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of any final disposition of the matter provided that such person undertakes to repay any
amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Certificate of Incorporation also contains provisions with respect to the
indemnification of its directors, officers and employees. Such provisions, found under Article
TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, provide that each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law against all expense,
liability and loss reasonably incurred. Article&nbsp;TENTH also includes the right, under certain
circumstances, for the advance payment of expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding prior
to the final disposition of the matter.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;TENTH also authorizes the Company to maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any Director, Officer, employee or agent against any expense, liability or loss, whether
or not the Company would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company currently maintains
insurance of this type.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Finally, Article&nbsp;ELEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of
Citizens First Bancorp shall not be personally liable to Citizens First Bancorp or its stockholders
for monetary damages except for liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the
law, under Section&nbsp;174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in

where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d)

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;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 the
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 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law confers authority on Delaware corporations
to indemnify their officers, directors, employees, agents and fiduciaries of employee benefit plans
and those persons serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of another enterprise in connection with litigation brought by reason of the fact that such
person serves in such capacity. The statue distinguishes between suits brought by a corporation
itself, either directly or derivatively, against corporate officials on the one hand, and all other
actions or proceedings against such officials, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, arising from their performance of corporate duties. In the case of the latter type
of action, § 145(a) authorizes a corporation to indemnify covered individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Any indemnification under
§ 145(a) requires that the indemnitee have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her action was
unlawful.
Where an action is brought against the potential indemnitee either by the corporation itself
or by a stockholder derivatively on its behalf, indemnity is limited by § 145(b) to the reasonable
expenses of defense and does not encompass any amounts paid by way of settlement or satisfaction of
a judgment. Furthermore, no indemnity under § 145(b), even of reasonable expenses, may be made in
connection with any matter as to which the person has been adjudged liable, unless the court having
jurisdiction over the matter expressly determines that such person is entitled to indemnity.
Additionally, whether an officer, director, employee, or agent is entitled to indemnification
under § 145(a) or (b) is contingent upon a determination in each case that the standard of conduct
has been met. Section 145(d) requires that (unless ordered by a court) such a determination be
made:
•
by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the relevant proceeding, even
though less than a quorum;
•
by a committee of such nonparty directors appointed by a majority vote of such nonparty
directors;
•
if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion; or
•
by the stockholders.
Under § 145(c), indemnification is mandated to the extent that a director or officer has been
successful on the merits, or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding.
Section 145 of Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in
advance of any final disposition of the matter provided that such person undertakes to repay any
amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation also contains provisions with respect to the
indemnification of its directors, officers and employees. Such provisions, found under Article
TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation, provide that each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is
or was a director or officer of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company
to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law against all expense,
liability and loss reasonably incurred. Article TENTH also includes the right, under certain
circumstances, for the advance payment of expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding prior
to the final disposition of the matter.
Table of Contents
Article TENTH also authorizes the Company to maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect
itself and any Director, Officer, employee or agent against any expense, liability or loss, whether
or not the Company would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company currently maintains
insurance of this type.
Finally, Article ELEVENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of
Citizens First Bancorp shall not be personally liable to Citizens First Bancorp or its stockholders
for monetary damages except for liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the
law, under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or for any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit.

ITEM 9. Undertakings.
(a) 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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in
the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
Table of Contents
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement, provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(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 offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 Section 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.
(h) 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 the
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.
