  connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therein.

Subject to the receipt by the Company of an undertaking by the officer or director to repay the expenses if there is a judgment or other final adjudication holding that the officer or director is not entitled to receive reimbursement of expenses from the Company, the Company will pay in advance or reimburse the officer or director for such expenses. However, the Company will not indemnify such person if a judgment or other final
  adjudication adverse to the person establishes that his or her acts or omissions (i) were acts or omissions that the person knew or believed to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or shareholders in connection with a matter to which he had a material conflict of interest, (ii) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulted in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. The Company also will not be required to further pay or reimburse expenses (and will be entitled to repayment of any paid expenses) if the officer or director enters a formal plea or written admission in the action that he or she has committed such acts or omissions establishing that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Unless the Board has authorized or consented to the action to which the officer or director is a party, the Company is not obligated to pay or reimburse an officer or director for any expenses in connection with an action

Each Bank&#146;s certificate of incorporation reflects this statutory formulation limiting the liability of its officers and directors, and the bylaws of each Bank contain provisions for the indemnification of its officers and directors, which reflect this statutory formulation. Each Bank&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that officers (for the duration
  permitted by the New Jersey Banking Act) and directors of the bank shall not be personally liable to the bank or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the bank or its shareholders, except damages for breaches of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach of such person&#146;s duty of loyalty, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.</font></p>

  ITEM 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  .
  Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors and Officers
  . The Company's certificate of incorporation contains provisions that may limit the personal liability of any director or officer of the Company to the Company or its shareholders for damages for an alleged breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders. This limitation will not relieve an officer or director from liability based on any act or omission (i) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law; or (iii) resulting in receipt by such officer or director of an improper personal benefit. These provisions are explicitly permitted by Section 14A:2-7(3) of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the "NJBCA").
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers Provided by the Company's Governing Documents
  . The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that the Company will indemnify to the full extent from time to time permitted by law, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to, or a witness or other participant in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative, arbitrative, legislative, investigative or of any other kind (together "an action"), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or serves or served any other enterprise at the request of the Company against expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
  connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therein. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act generally prohibits indemnification of a holding company's directors and officers for any penalty or judgment resulting from any administrative or civil action instituted by a federal banking agency.
  Consistent with, and to the extent permitted by Section 14A:3-5 of the NJBCA, under the Company's Bylaws, the Company will indemnify its officers and directors and any such person's estate against expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in any action, by reason of the fact that the officer or director is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or at the request of the Company in such capacity). Subject to the receipt by the Company of an undertaking by the officer or director to repay the expenses if there is a judgment or other final adjudication holding that the officer or director is not entitled to receive reimbursement of expenses from the Company, the Company will pay in advance or reimburse the officer or director for such expenses. However, the Company will not indemnify such person if a judgment or other final
  adjudication adverse to the person establishes that his or her acts or omissions (i) were acts or omissions that the person knew or believed to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or shareholders in connection with a matter to which he had a material conflict of interest, (ii) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulted in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. The Company also will not be required to further pay or reimburse expenses (and will be entitled to repayment of any paid expenses) if the officer or director enters a formal plea or written admission in the action that he or she has committed such acts or omissions establishing that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. Unless the Board has authorized or consented to the action to which the officer or director is a party, the Company is not obligated to pay or reimburse an officer or director for any expenses in connection with an action
  (or part thereof) initiated by the officer or director.
  Under Section 14A:3-5 of the NJBCA, with respect to any derivative action, the Company is empowered to indemnify any corporate agent (including any current or former officer or director) against the agent's expenses (but not the agent's liabilities) incurred in connection with any proceeding involving the corporate agent by reason of the agent being or having been a corporate agent if the agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the agent reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. However, only the court in which the proceeding was brought can empower the Company to indemnify a corporate agent against expenses with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which the agent was adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct.
  Under Section 14A:3-5 of the NJBCA, a corporate agent is entitled to mandatory indemnification to the extent that the agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. If a corporation fails or refuses to indemnify a corporate agent, whether the indemnification is permissive or mandatory, the agent may apply to a court to grant the agent the requested indemnification.
  Indemnification of Officers and Directors under the Agreement and Plan of Acquisition (the "Acquisition Agreement")
  . Under the Acquisition Agreement entered into between Two River Community Bank and The Town Bank (the "Banks") and the Company in 2005, the Company is obligated to indemnify current and former directors and officers of the Banks and their subsidiaries for six years following the effective time of the acquisition, which was April 1, 2006 (the "Effective Time"), for any matters arising out of their positions with the Banks prior to the acquisition. The indemnification provisions of the respective governing documents of the Company, the Banks and their respective subsidiaries in effect at the time of the acquisition cannot be amended for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely
  affect the rights of these officers and directors.
  The New Jersey Banking Act contains almost identical provisions to New Jersey corporate law relating to limitation of liability and indemnification of directors, officers and employees. Under New Jersey corporate law, to be entitled to indemnification, it must be determined that, in general terms, the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to a criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Each Bank's certificate of incorporation reflects this statutory formulation limiting the liability of its officers and directors, and the bylaws of each Bank contain provisions for the indemnification of its officers and directors, which reflect this statutory formulation. Each Bank's certificate of incorporation provides that officers (for the duration
  permitted by the New Jersey Banking Act) and directors of the bank shall not be personally liable to the bank or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the bank or its shareholders, except damages for breaches of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.
  Insurance
  . The Company, as required by the Acquisition Agreement, maintains insurance coverage for the purpose of indemnifying current and former directors and officers of the Banks for any matters arising out of their positions with the Banks prior to the acquisition and will also pay all reasonable expenses incurred by any such individual in enforcing his or her rights to indemnification and insurance coverage. The Company is required to maintain this coverage for a period of six years following the Effective Time.

  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, as amended (the "Securities Act");
  (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 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% 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 periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
  (2)
  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 the 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 the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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 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.
  SIGNATURES
  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Middletown, State of New Jersey, on August 24, 2007.
