      who has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action or proceeding of the character described in Section 722 of the NYBCL, shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Except as provided in the preceding
      sentence, indemnification may be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case by one of the corporate actions set forth in Section 723 (unless ordered by a court under Section 724 of the NYBCL).</div>

    <div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 36pt;">Section 724 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that upon proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized

    <div style="text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 36pt;">Section 726(a) of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (i) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the
      indemnification of directors and officers under the above sections, (ii) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (iii) directors and officers in instances in which they may not
      otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the superintendent of financial services, for a retention amount and for
      co-insurance. Section 13.6 of the Company&#8217;s Bylaws authorizes the Company to purchase and maintain insurance (i) to indemnify itself against any obligation it incurs as a result of indemnification of any person, as authorized herein, and (ii) to,
      subject to certain exceptions, indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Enterprise against any
      liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of such status. The Company currently maintains an insurance policy with appropriate limits to insure the directors and officers of the Company,
      subject to the limits, exceptions and other terms and conditions of such policy, against liability for claims made against them for any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement or act or omission or neglect or breach of duty
      while acting in their individual or collective capacities as directors or officers.</div>

      dividends, loans or stock repurchases.</div>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article XI of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent that the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, as
      it may be amended (the "NYBCL"), permits the elimination or a limitation of the liabilities of directors, no director of the Company shall be liable to the Company, or its shareholders for any breach of duty in such capacity.
Pursuant to Section 13.1(a) of the Company's Bylaws, the Company has agreed to indemnify to the fullest extent provided for or permitted by law each person involved in, or made
      or threatened to be made a party to, any action, suit, claim or proceeding, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative or legislative hearing or any other actual, threatened, pending or completed proceeding,
      whether civil, at law, in equity, criminal, administrative investigative or otherwise, or whether formal or informal, and including an action by or in the right of the Company or any other corporation, or any partnership, joint venture, trust,
      employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether profit or non-profit (an "Enterprise") and including appeals therein (any such process, a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person (i) is or was a director or officer of the Company, or
      (ii) while serving as a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving, at the request of the Company, as director, officer or in any other capacity, any other Enterprise, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred as a result
      of or in connection with any Proceeding, or any appeal therein, subject to certain exceptions. Specifically, pursuant to Section 13.1(b) of the Company's Bylaws, no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any such person if a judgment or other
      final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that (i) such person's acts were committed in bad faith; (ii) were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated; (iii) that such person
      gained in fact in a financial profit or other advantage to which such person was not legally entitled; or (iv) in the event of criminal charges, that the person had reason to believe that such conduct was unlawful.  In addition, no indemnification
      may be made with respect to any Proceeding initiated by any such person against the Company, or a director or officer of the Company, other than to enforce their right to indemnification, unless such Proceeding was authorized by the board of
      directors.  Further, no indemnification may be made with respect to any settlement or compromise of any Proceeding unless and until the Company has consented to such settlement or compromise, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Moreover,
      pursuant to Section 13.4 of the Company's Bylaws,  except as otherwise permitted by 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) (or any successor provision thereto) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company may not indemnify directors, officers or
      employees against expenses, penalties or other payments incurred in an administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties or
      requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the Company.
3
Section 13.1(c) of the Company's Bylaws provides that a person who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a Proceeding shall be entitled to
      indemnification under the Company's Bylaws. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and unless ordered by a court, indemnification shall be made by the Company if, and only if, authorized in the specific case: (i) by the board of directors
      acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such Proceeding upon a finding that the conduct of the director or officer was not such that indemnification would be prohibited pursuant to Section 13.1(b) of the Company's Bylaws
      (set forth above), or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs (A) by the board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the
      circumstances because the conduct of the director or officer was not such that indemnification would be prohibited pursuant to Section 13.1(b), or (B) by the shareholders upon a finding that the conduct of the director or officer was not such that
      indemnification would be prohibited pursuant to Section 13.1(b).
Section 13.1(d) of the Company's Bylaws provides that persons covered under Section 13.1(a) of the Company's Bylaws shall be entitled to indemnification for any part of any
      Proceeding for which it is found that the conduct of the director or officer was not such that indemnification would be prohibited pursuant to Section 13.1(b) of the Company's Bylaws. In making any determination regarding any person's entitlement to
      indemnification, each charge, claim, or issue shall be reviewed individually under Section 13.1(c) of the Bylaws (as described above).
Section 13.1(e) of the Company's Bylaws sets forth details regarding the Company's participation in or assumption of a defense of any Proceeding and Section 13.1(f) of the
      Company's Bylaws provides that, in making any determination regarding any person's entitlement to indemnification hereunder, it shall be presumed that such person is entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall have the burden of proving the
      contrary.
Section 13.2 of the Company's Bylaws sets forth details regarding Company's advancement or reimbursement of expenses to directors and officers defending any Proceeding in advance
      of the final disposition of such Proceeding.
Section 13.3 of the Company's Bylaws provides, among other items, that the rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses granted by or pursuant to Article 13 of the
      Bylaws: (i) shall not limit or exclude, but may be in addition to, any other rights which may be granted by or pursuant to any statute, corporation charter, bylaw, resolution of shareholders or directors or agreement; (ii) shall be deemed to
      constitute contractual obligations of the Company to any director or officer who serves in a capacity referred to in Section 13.1 at any time during which Article 13 is in effect; (iii) shall continue to exist after the repeal or modification of this
      Article 13 with respect to events occurring prior thereto; and (iv) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, spouse, heirs, executors, administrators or assigns of such
      person.
Section 13.5 of the Company's Bylaws provides that the Company may, with the approval of the board of directors, enter into an agreement with any person who is, or is about to
      become, a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or who is serving, or is about to serve, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer or in any other capacity, any other Enterprise; which agreement may provide for
      indemnification of such person and advancement of expenses to such person upon terms, and the extent, not prohibited by law.  The failure to enter into any such agreement may not affect or limit the rights of any such person to indemnification under
      Article 13 of the Bylaws.
Sections 721-725 of the New York Business Corporation Law ("NYBCL") provide for or permit the indemnification of directors and officers of the Company under certain
      circumstances. Specifically, Section 721 of the NYBCL provides that indemnification pursuant to, or provided by, such article of the NYBCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification or
      advancement of expenses may be entitled, whether contained in the entity's certificate of incorporation or bylaws or, when authorized by such certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or
      (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if 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.
4
Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the
      right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
      benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the corporation, or
      served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and
      necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any
      partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
      unlawful. Section 722(b) of the NYBCL provides that the termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption
      that any such director or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
      enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation to
      procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation of
      any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by
      him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other
      corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this paragraph shall be made in respect of (i) a threatened
      action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
      action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the
      settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 723 of the NYBCL specifies, among other things, the manner in which the corporation may authorize payment of such indemnification. It provides that a director or officer
      who has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action or proceeding of the character described in Section 722 of the NYBCL, shall be entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Except as provided in the preceding
      sentence, indemnification may be made by the corporation only if authorized in the specific case by one of the corporate actions set forth in Section 723 (unless ordered by a court under Section 724 of the NYBCL).
Section 724 of the NYBCL provides, among other things, that upon proper application by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized
      under Sections 722 and 723(a) of the NYBCL.
Section 725 of the NYBCL contains, among other things, certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and officers, including provision for the
      return of amounts paid as indemnification if any such person is ultimately found not to be entitled to the indemnification.
Section 726(a) of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of insurance to indemnify (i) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the
      indemnification of directors and officers under the above sections, (ii) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, and (iii) directors and officers in instances in which they may not
      otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under such sections, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the superintendent of financial services, for a retention amount and for
      co-insurance. Section 13.6 of the Company's Bylaws authorizes the Company to purchase and maintain insurance (i) to indemnify itself against any obligation it incurs as a result of indemnification of any person, as authorized herein, and (ii) to,
      subject to certain exceptions, indemnify any person who is a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Enterprise against any
      liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity or arising out of such status. The Company currently maintains an insurance policy with appropriate limits to insure the directors and officers of the Company,
      subject to the limits, exceptions and other terms and conditions of such policy, against liability for claims made against them for any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement or act or omission or neglect or breach of duty
      while acting in their individual or collective capacities as directors or officers.
In addition, Section 402(b) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may include a provision in its certificate of incorporation eliminating or limiting the liability of its
      directors to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for the breach of any duty, except for a breach involving bad faith, intentional misconduct, a knowing violation of law or receipt of an improper personal benefit or for certain illegal
      dividends, loans or stock repurchases.

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;
(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 reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
      registration statement.
6
(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 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.
(c)
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.
