Ladies and Gentlemen:

Madison Bank of Maryland, a federally chartered savings bank (the “Bank”), the deposit accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and MB Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Holding Company” and, together with the Bank, the “Madison Parties”), hereby confirm their agreement with Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. (the “Agent”) as follows:

Section 1. The Offering. In accordance with the plan of conversion as adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Plan”), the Bank intends to convert from the current mutual form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). In connection with the Conversion, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. Pursuant to the Plan, the Holding Company will offer and sell up to 2,070,000 shares (subject to increase up to 2,380,500 shares) of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to (1) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits (as defined in the Plan) as of June 30, 2013 (“Eligible Account Holders”), (2) the Bank’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, including the employee stock ownership plan the Bank is establishing in connection with the conversion (the “ESOP”), (3) Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (as defined in the Plan), and (4) Other Members (as defined in the Plan). Subject to the prior subscription rights of the above-listed parties, the Holding Company may offer for sale in a community offering (the “Community Offering” and when referred to together with or subsequent to the Subscription Offering, the “Subscription and Community Offering”) the Shares not subscribed for or ordered in the Subscription Offering to members of the general public to whom a copy of the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) is delivered with a preference given to natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in the Community (as defined in the Plan), and thereafter to cover orders of other members of the general public. It is anticipated that any Shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering may be offered to certain members of the general public on a best efforts basis through a selected dealers agreement (the “Syndicated Community Offering”) (the Subscription Offering, Community Offering and Syndicated Community Offering are collectively referred to as the “Offering”). It is acknowledged that the purchase of Shares in the Offering is subject to the maximum and minimum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Holding Company may reject, in whole or in part, any order received in the Community Offering or the Syndicated Community Offering.

In connection with the Conversion, the Bank filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) an application on Form AC for conversion to a stock bank (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices, the “Conversion Application”) and amendments thereto as required by the OCC in accordance with the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (the “HOLA”), and 12 C.F.R. Part 192. The Holding Company has filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”) an application on Form H-(e)1 (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices, the “Holding Company Application”) to become a unitary savings and loan holding company under the HOLA and the regulations promulgated

thereunder. In addition, the Holding Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-_____) (the “Registration Statement”), containing a prospectus relating to the Subscription and Community Offering, for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), and has filed such amendments thereof and such amended prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof. The term “Registration Statement” shall include all financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended, including post-effective amendments. The prospectus, as amended, on file with the Commission at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by the Holding Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) differing from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, the term “Prospectus” shall refer to the prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) from and after the time said prospectus is filed with the Commission.

Section 2. Retention of Agent; Compensation; Sale and Delivery of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Madison Parties hereby appoint the Agent as their exclusive financial advisor and conversion agent (i) to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for Shares and to advise and assist the Madison Parties with respect to the sale by the Holding Company of the Shares in the Offering and (ii) to participate in the Offering in the areas of market making and in syndicate formation (if necessary).

On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise the Madison Parties as to the matters set forth in the letter agreement, dated June 26, 2014, by and between the Bank and the Agent (a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A). It is acknowledged by the Madison Parties that the Agent shall not be required to purchase any Shares or be obligated to take any action that is inconsistent with all applicable laws, regulations, decisions or orders.

The obligations of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Offering, but in no event later than 45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering, (the “End Date”) unless the Madison Parties and the Agent agree in writing to extend such period and the OCC agrees to extend the period of time in which the Shares may be sold. All fees or expenses due to the Agent but unpaid will be payable to the Agent in next day funds at the earlier of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or the End Date. In the event the Offering is extended beyond the End Date, the Madison Parties and the Agent may agree to renew this Agreement under mutually acceptable terms.

In the event that the Conversion and Offering are not consummated for any reason, including but not limited to the inability to sell a minimum of 1,530,000 Shares within the period herein provided, (including any permitted extension thereof), or such other minimum number of shares as shall be established consistent with the Plan and the Conversion Regulations, this Agreement shall terminate and the Holding Company shall refund to any persons who have subscribed for or ordered any of the Shares the full amount which it may have received from them plus accrued interest, as set forth in the Prospectus; and none of the parties to this Agreement shall have any obligation to the other parties hereunder, except as set forth in this Section 2 and in Sections 7 , 9 and 10 hereof. In the event the Offering is terminated for any reason not attributable to the action or inaction of the Agent, the Agent shall be paid the fees due to the date of such termination pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (d) below.

The Agent shall receive the following compensation and expense reimbursement for its services hereunder:

(a) A management fee of $25,000 payable in four consecutive monthly installments of $6,250 commencing with July 2014. Such fees shall be deemed to have been earned when due. Should the Offering be terminated for any reason not attributable to the action or inaction of Agent, Agent shall have earned and be entitled to be paid fees accruing through the stage at which point the termination occurred.

(b) A success fee of $200,000 paid at the closing of the Conversion. The management fee described in Section 2(a) above will be credited against the success fee paid pursuant to this paragraph.

(c) If any of the Shares remain available after the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, at the request of the Holding Company, Agent will seek to form a syndicate of registered broker-dealers to assist in the

sale of Shares on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a selected dealers agreement to be entered into between the Holding Company and Agent. Agent will endeavor to distribute the Shares among dealers in a fashion which best meets the distribution objectives of the Holding Company and the Plan. Agent will be paid a fee not to exceed 5.5% of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. From this fee, Agent will pass onto selected broker-dealers, who assist in the Syndicated Community Offering, an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment. Fees with respect to purchases affected with the assistance of a broker/dealer other than Agent shall be transmitted by Agent to such broker/dealer. The decision to utilize selected broker-dealers will be made by the Holding Company upon consultation with the Agent.

(d) (i) The Holding Company shall reimburse the Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to costs of travel, meals and lodging, photocopying, telephone, facsimile and couriers, not to exceed $5,000. In addition, the Holding Company will reimburse the Agent for fees and expenses of its counsel not to exceed $80,000. In the event of unusual circumstances or delays or a re-solicitation in connection with the Offering, including in the event of a material delay in the Offering that would require an update of the financial information in tabular form to reflect a period later than that set forth in the original filing of the Registration Statement, such expense cap may be increased by additional amounts not to exceed an additional $5,000 in the case of additional out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, and an additional $10,000 in the case of additional fees and expenses of the Agent’s counsel. The Holding Company will bear the expenses of the Offering customarily borne by issuers including, without limitation, regulatory filing fees, SEC, Blue Sky and Financial Institution Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) filing and registration fees; the fees of the Holding Company’s accountants, attorneys, appraiser, transfer agent and registrar, printing, mailing and marketing and syndicate expenses associated with the Conversion and Offering; and the fees set forth under this Section 2 .

(ii) Conversion Agent Services. The Agent shall also receive a fee of $25,000 for certain conversion agent services set forth in the letter agreement, dated June 26, 2014, between the Bank and the Agent (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B ), $5,000 of which has already been paid to the Agent and is nonrefundable and the balance of which shall be payable to the Agent upon completion of the Offering. The Holding Company will reimburse the Agent, upon request made from time to time, for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its conversion agent services not to exceed $15,000. However, in the event of a re-solicitation in connection with the offering, the expense cap may be increased by an additional amount not to exceed $5,000.

Section 3. Sale and Delivery of Shares. If all conditions precedent to the consummation of the Conversion, including without limitation, the sale of all Shares required by the Plan to be sold, are satisfied, the Holding Company agrees to issue, or have issued, the Shares sold in the Offering and to release for delivery certificates for such Shares on the Closing Date against payment to the Holding Company by any means authorized by the Plan; provided, however, that no funds shall be released to the Holding Company until the conditions specified in Section8 hereof shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent or its counsel. The release of Shares against payment therefor shall be made on a date and at a place acceptable to the Madison Parties and the Agent as set forth in Section 14 . Certificates for shares shall be delivered directly to the purchasers in accordance with their directions as provided by the Holding Company to the Holding Company’s registrar and transfer agent. The date upon which the Holding Company shall release or deliver the Shares sold in the Offering, in accordance with the terms herein, is called the “Closing Date.”

No suit or proceeding, charge, investigation or action before or by any court, regulatory authority or governmental agency or body is or will be pending or, to the knowledge of the Madison Parties, threatened, which might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Madison Parties of their obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Plan and as described in the Prospectus, or which might result in a Material Adverse Effect or which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and is not so disclosed.

An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in

the defense of such action. In addition, if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified parties that are defendants in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with such action, proceeding or claim, other than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any local counsel that said firm may retain) for each indemnified party in connection with any one action, proceeding or claim or separate but similar or related actions, proceedings or claims in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. The Madison Parties will not, without the Agent's prior written consent, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination does not include a statement or acknowledgment as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and provides that the Agent and the other indemnified parties shall be unconditionally and irrevocably released from all liability in respect of such action, claim, suit or proceeding. No indemnified party seeking indemnification, reimbursement or contribution under this Section 9 will, without the indemnifying parties' prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence. The Agent will not enter into any settlement for which the Madison Parties could be liable without the Madison Parties’ prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 10.Contribution. (a) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Madison Parties or the Agent, the Madison Parties and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding, but after deducting any contribution received by the Madison Parties or the Agent from persons other than the other parties thereto, who may also be liable for contribution) in such proportion so that the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement (not including expenses) bears to the gross proceeds received by the Holding Company from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, and the Madison Parties shall be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault of the Madison Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereto), but also the relative benefits received by the Madison Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the Offering (before deducting expenses). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Madison Parties on the one hand or the Agent on the other and the parties’ relative intent, good faith, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Madison Parties and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action, proceeding or claim. It is expressly agreed that the Agent shall not be liable for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense or be required to contribute any amount pursuant to Section 9(b) or this Section 10 which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid (excluding reimbursable expenses) to the Agent under this Agreement. It is understood that the above stated limitation on the Agent’s liability is essential to the Agent and that the Agent would not have entered into this Agreement if such limitation had not been agreed to by the parties to this Agreement. No person found guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Madison Parties under this Section 10 and

under Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Holding Company and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this Section 10, each of the Agent’s and the Madison Parties’ officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or any of the Madison Parties within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent on the one hand, or, the Madison Parties on the other hand. Any party entitled to contribution, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party under this Section 10, will notify such party from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section 10.

(b) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein are in addition to any obligations which the Madison Parties may otherwise have to the Agent under this Agreement.

(c) Neither termination nor completion of the engagement of the Agent nor any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent shall affect the indemnification obligations of the Madison Parties or the Agent hereunder, which shall remain and continue to be operative and in full force and effect.

Section 11. Termination. The Agent may terminate this Agreement by giving the notice indicated below in Section 12 at any time after this Agreement becomes effective as follows:

(a) (a) If any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted the United States securities markets such as to make it, in the Agent’s reasonable opinion, impracticable to proceed with the offering of the Shares; or if trading on the NYSE shall have suspended (except that this shall not apply to the imposition of NYSE trading collars imposed on program trading); or if the United States shall have become involved in a war or major hostilities or escalation thereof; or if a general banking moratorium has been declared by a state or federal authority which has a material effect on the Madison Parties on a consolidated basis; or if a moratorium in foreign exchange trading by major international banks or persons has been declared; or if there shall have been a material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations or business of any of the Madison Parties, or if any of the Madison Parties shall have sustained a material or substantial loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act, whether or not said loss shall have been insured; or, if there shall have been a material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations or business of the Madison Parties taken as a whole.

(b) In the event the Holding Company fails to sell the required minimum number of the Shares by the date when such sales must be completed, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as required by the Conversion Regulations and applicable law, this Agreement shall terminate upon refund by the Holding Company to each person who has subscribed for or ordered any of the Shares the full amount which it may have received from such person, together with interest as provided in the Prospectus, and no party to this Agreement shall have any obligation to the other hereunder, except as set forth in Sections 2(a), 2(d), 7, 9 and 10 hereof.

(c) If any of the conditions specified in Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, unless waived in writing, or by the Closing Date, this Agreement and all of the Agent’s obligations hereunder may be cancelled by the Agent by notifying the Holding Company of such cancellation in writing or by electronic mail at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, and any such cancellation shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 2(a), 2(d), 7, 9 and 10 hereof.

(d) If the Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section, the Madison Parties shall be notified promptly by telephone or electronic mail, confirmed by letter.

Any of the Madison Parties may terminate this Agreement in the event the Agent is in material breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in Section 5 and such breach has not been cured within a reasonable time period after the Madison Party has provided the Agent with notice of such breach.

This Agreement may also be terminated by mutual written consent of the parties hereto.
