</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;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 of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in this Registration Statement;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;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;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 <I>bona fide </I>offering
thereof; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&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 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 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 the Office's 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"). 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 Office 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.
(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 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

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 of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in this 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 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 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.
