Ladies and Gentlemen:

IF Bancorp, Inc., a newly formed Maryland corporation and stock holding company (the “Company”), and Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federal mutual savings association (the “Bank”), hereby confirm, jointly and severally, their agreement with Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. (“KBW” or the “Agent”), as follows:

Section 1. The Offering. In accordance with a plan of conversion (the “Plan” or “Plan of Conversion”), adopted by the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, the Bank will convert from the federal mutual savings structure to a capital stock structure. As part of the Plan, the following steps will be effectuated: (a) the Bank will convert its charter to a federal stock savings association charter; (b) the Company will purchase all of the capital stock issued by the Bank in connection with its conversion; and (c) the Company will offer for sale its common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, (the “Shares”) in the Offering (as defined herein).

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will offer and sell up to 3,910,000 of its Shares, in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to: (1) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits, as defined in the Plan, as of February 28, 2010 (“Eligible Account Holders”); (2) the Employee Plans (as defined in the Plan); (3) depositors of the Bank with Qualifying Deposits, as defined in the Plan, as of March 31, 2011 (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holders”); and (4) any Other Member, as defined in the Plan, who is not an Eligible Account Holder or a Supplemental Eligible Account Holder on [the VOTING RECORD DATE]. Subject to the prior subscription rights of the above-listed parties, the Company is offering for sale in a community offering (the “Community Offering,” and when referred to together with the Subscription Offering, the “Subscription and Community Offering”) that may be commenced concurrently with, during, or after the Subscription 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 and trusts of natural persons residing in Iroquois and Xxxxxxxxxx Counties in Illinois. It is anticipated that shares not subscribed for in the Subscription and Community Offering will 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 minimum and maximum purchase limitations as described in the Plan and that the Company may reject, in whole or in part, any orders received in the Community Offering or Syndicated Community Offering. Collectively, these transactions described in this Section 1 are referred to herein as the “Conversion.”

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company and the Bank intend to donate cash and/or Shares in an aggregate amount of up to 8% of the value of the Shares sold in the Offering to a charitable foundation the Company intends to establish in connection with the Conversion (the “Foundation”).

The Company has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172843) (the “Registration Statement”) containing a prospectus relating to the Offering for the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (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 any documents incorporated by reference therein and all financial schedules and exhibits thereto, as amended, including post-effective amendments. The prospectus, as amended, on file with the SEC at the time the Registration Statement initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any Prospectus is filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (c) of the rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) differing from the prospectus on file at the time the Registration Statement initially becomes 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 SEC.

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) governing federal mutual-to-stock conversions (collectively, the “Conversion Regulations”), the Bank filed an Application for Conversion with the OTS, and has filed such amendments thereto and supplementary materials as may have been required to the date hereof and amendments thereto as required by the OTS (the “Conversion Application”). The Company also has filed with the OTS an H-(e)1-S Application (the “Holding Company Application”) to become a savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (“HOLA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the OTS.

Section 2. Retention of Agent; Compensation; Sale and Delivery of the Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company and the Bank hereby appoint the Agent as their exclusive financial advisor and conversion agent to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for Shares and to advise and assist the Company and the Bank with respect to the Company’s sale of the Shares in the Offering.

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 Company and the Bank as to the matters set forth in the letter agreements, each dated January 7, 2011, between the Bank and KBW. It is acknowledged by the Company and the Bank 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.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the obligations of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the completion or termination or abandonment of the Plan by the Company or the Bank or upon termination of the Offering, but in no event later than 45 days after the completion of the Subscription Offering (the “End Date”) unless extended by the OTS. All fees or expenses due to the Agent hereunder 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 Company, the Bank and the Agent may agree to renew this Agreement under mutually acceptable terms.

In the event the Company is unable to sell a minimum of [2,890,000] Shares within the period herein provided, this Agreement shall terminate and the Company shall promptly refund to any persons who have subscribed for any of the Shares the full amount that 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 6, 8 and 9 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 (e) below.

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 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 (as hereinafter defined) against payment to the Company by any means authorized by the Plan; provided, however, that no funds shall be released to the Company until the conditions specified in Section 7 hereof shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and its counsel. The release of Shares against payment therefor shall be made on a date and at a place acceptable to the Company, the Bank and the Agent. Certificates for Shares shall be delivered directly to the purchasers in accordance with their directions. The date upon which the Company shall release or deliver the Shares sold in the Offering, in accordance with the terms herein, is called the “Closing Date.”

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

(a) A Management Fee of $25,000, payable in four consecutive monthly installments of $6,250 each, [all of which has been paid]. 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, the Agent shall have earned and be entitled to be paid fees accruing through the stage at which the termination occurred.

(b) A success fee of 1.25% of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Subscription Offering, excluding shares purchased by the officers, directors or employees (or members of their immediate families) of the Company or the Bank plus any ESOP, tax-qualified or stock-based compensation plans (except individual purchases through IRAs) or similar plan created by the Bank for some or all of its directors or employees, or any charitable foundation established by the Company (or any shares contributed to such foundation). The Success Fee described in this subparagraph 2(b) shall be reduced by the Management Fee described in subparagraph 2(a) above.

(c) A success fee of 2.0% of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Community Offering. The Success Fee described in this subparagraph 2(c) shall be reduced by the Management Fee described in subparagraph 2(a) above.

(d) If any of the Shares remain available after the Subscription Offering and Community Offering, at the request of the Company, KBW will seek to form a syndicate of registered broker-dealers (“Selected Dealers”) to assist in the sale of such Shares on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the selected dealers agreement. KBW will endeavor to distribute the Shares among the Selected Dealers in a fashion that best meets the distribution objectives of the Company, the Bank and the Plan. KBW will be paid a fee not to exceed 5.5% of the aggregate dollar amount of the Shares sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. From this fee, KBW will pass onto the

Selected 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 Selected Dealers other than KBW shall be transmitted by KBW to such Selected Dealers. The decision to utilize Selected Dealers will be made by the Company and the Bank upon consultation with KBW.

(e) A fee of $20,000 in connection with the performance by the Agent of the services of Conversion Agent in connection with the Conversion. Such Conversion Agent Fee shall be payable in two installments of $10,000 each, of which $10,000 has already been paid. The Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with acting as Conversion Agent, which are not expected to exceed $5,000, regardless of whether the Offering is consummated.

(f) The Agent shall be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including costs of travel, meals and lodging, photocopying, telephone, facsimile and couriers not to exceed $20,000 without the approval of the Company. In addition, the Company and the Bank will reimburse KBW for the fees and expenses of its counsel, which will not exceed $75,000. In the event of a material delay or a re-solicitation in connection with the Offering, the Company and the Bank will provide additional reimbursement to KBW in an amount not to exceed $25,000. The Company and the Bank will bear the expenses of the Offering customarily borne by issuers including, without limitation, regulatory filing fees, SEC, “Blue Sky,” and FINRA filing and registration fees; the fees of the Company’s and the Bank’s accountants, attorneys, appraiser, transfer agent and registrar, printing, mailing and marketing and syndicate expenses associated with the Offering; the fees set forth under this Section 2; and fees for “Blue Sky” legal work. The Company and the Bank will reimburse KBW for such expenses incurred by KBW on their behalf.

Full payment of Agent’s fees and expenses, as described above, shall be made in next day funds on the earlier of (i) the Closing Date, (ii) the End Date, or (iii) a determination by the Company or the Bank to terminate or abandon the Offering.

Section 3. Prospectus; Offering. The Shares are to be initially offered in the Offering at the purchase price set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties.

(a) The Company and the Bank jointly and severally represent and warrant to and agree with the Agent as follows:

(i) The Registration Statement, which was prepared by the Company and filed with the SEC, was declared effective by the SEC on [DATE], 2011. At the time the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein (including any amendment or supplement), became effective, the Registration Statement complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, and the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein (including any amendment or supplement thereto), and any information regarding the Company or the Bank contained in Sales Information (as such term is defined in Section 8 hereof) authorized by the Company or the Bank for use in connection with the Offering, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and at the time any Rule 424(b) or (c) Prospectus is filed with the SEC and at the Closing Date referred to in Section 2, the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus contained therein (including any amendment or supplement thereto), will comply as to form in all material respects with the 1933

Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and such Registration Statement and any information regarding the Company or the Bank contained in the Sales Information authorized by the Company or the Bank for use in connection with the Offering will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this Section 4(a)(i) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Bank by the Agent or its counsel expressly regarding the Agent for use in the Prospectus in the [NUMBER] paragraphs under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation” or in any Sales Information or statements in or omissions from any Sales Information regarding the Agent.

(ii) The Company and the Bank have not directly or indirectly distributed or otherwise used and will not directly or indirectly distribute or otherwise use any prospectus, any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) or other offering material (including, without limitation, content on the Company’s or the Bank’s website that may be deemed to be a prospectus, free writing prospectus or other offering material) in connection with the offering and sale of the Shares other than any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus or other materials permitted by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations distributed by the Company and reviewed and approved (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) in advance for distribution by the Agent. The Company and the Bank have not, directly or indirectly, prepared or used and will not directly or indirectly, prepare or use, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus except in compliance with the filing and other requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations; assuming that such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus is so sent or given after the Registration Statement was filed with the SEC (and after such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus was, if required pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, filed with the SEC), the sending or giving, by the Agent, of any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus will satisfy the provisions of Rules 164 and 433 (without reliance on subsections (b), (c) and (d) for Rule 164); and the Company is not an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations) as of the eligibility determination date for purposes of Rules 164 and 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations with respect to the offering of the Shares or otherwise precluded under Rule 164 from using free writing prospectuses in connection with the offering of the Shares.

(iii) As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), neither (i) the Issuer-Represented General Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time and the Statutory Prospectus, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (ii) any individual Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Prospectus included in the Registration Statement relating to the offered Shares or any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for use therein. As used in this paragraph and elsewhere in this Agreement:

1. “Applicable Time” means each and every date when a potential purchaser submitted a subscription or otherwise committed to purchase Shares.

2. “Statutory Prospectus,” as of any time, means the Prospectus relating to the offered Shares that is included in the Registration Statement relating to the offered Shares immediately prior to the Applicable Time, including any document incorporated by reference therein.

3. “Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433(h) of the 1933 Act Regulations, relating to the offered Shares in the form filed or required or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g) under the 1933 Act Regulations. The term does not include any writing exempted from the definition of prospectus pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2(a)(10) of the 1933 Act, without regard to Rule 172 or Rule 173 of the 1933 Act Regulations.

4. “Issuer-Represented General Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus that is intended for general distribution to prospective investors.

5. “Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus” means any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus that is not an Issuer-Represented General Free Writing Prospectus. The term Issuer-Represented Limited-Use Free Writing Prospectus also includes any “bona fide electronic road show,” as defined in Rule 433 of the 1933 Act Regulations, that is made available without restriction pursuant to Rule 433(d)(8)(ii) of the 1933 Act Regulations or otherwise, even though not required to be filed with the SEC.

6. “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” means any free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Regulations that is consented to by the Company, the Bank and the Agent.

(iv) Each Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, as of its date of first use and at all subsequent times through the completion of the Offering and sale of the offered Shares or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Agent (as described in the next sentence), did not, does not and will not include any information that, in any material respect, conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following the date of first use of an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, in any material respect, conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement relating to the offered Shares or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company has notified or will notify promptly the Agent so that any use of such Issuer-Represented Free-Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented and the Company has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Agent specifically for use therein.

(v) The Conversion Application, including the Prospectus and the proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies from the Bank’s voting members for the meeting to approve the Plan and the contribution to the Foundation (the “Proxy Statement”), which was prepared by the Bank and filed with the OTS, was approved by the OTS on [DATE], 2011, and

the Prospectus has been declared effective by the OTS. The Proxy Statement has been cleared by the OTS. At the time of the regulatory approval of the Conversion Application, including the Prospectus and the Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto), by the OTS and at all times subsequent thereto until the Closing Date, the Conversion Application, including the Prospectus and the Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto), will comply in all material respects with the Conversion Regulations, except to the extent waived in writing by the OTS. The Conversion Application, including the Prospectus and the Proxy Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto), does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this Section 4(a)(v) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Bank by the Agent or its counsel expressly regarding the Agent for use in the Prospectus in the [NUMBER] paragraphs under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation” or in any Sales Information or statements in or omissions from any Sales Information regarding the Agent.

(vi) The Holding Company Application has been prepared by the Company in material compliance with the requirements of the OTS and has been approved by the OTS. A conformed copy of the Holding Company Application has been delivered to the Agent and its counsel, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Agent and its counsel.

(vii) No order has been issued by the OTS or the SEC or any state securities administrator preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any supplemental sales literature authorized by the Company or the Bank for use in connection with the Offering and no action by or before any such government entity to revoke any approval, authorization or order of effectiveness related to the Conversion is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

To our knowledge, no person has sought to obtain review of the final action of the OTS in approving the Plan and the contribution to the Foundation or in approving the Conversion or the Holding Company Application pursuant to the Conversion Regulations, the HOLA or any other statute or regulation.

(ix) The Bank has been duly organized and is a validly existing federal mutual savings association and upon the Conversion will be a federal stock savings association and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, in both instances duly authorized to conduct its business and own its property as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; the Bank has obtained all licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations currently required for the conduct of its business, except those that individually or in the aggregate would not materially adversely affect the financial condition, earnings, capital, assets, properties or business of the Company and the Bank, taken as a whole; all such licenses, permits and governmental

authorizations are in full force and effect, and the Bank is in compliance in all material respects with all material laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the operation of its business. The Bank does not own equity securities or any equity interest in any other active business enterprise except as described in the Prospectus or as would not be material to the operations of the Bank. Upon completion of the Conversion, (A) all of the authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Bank will be owned by the Company free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, loan, encumbrance, claim or equity and (B) the Company will have no direct subsidiaries other than the Bank. At the Closing Date, the Conversion will have been effected in all material respects in accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations, decisions and orders; and, except with respect to the filing of certain post-sale, post-Conversion reports, and documents in compliance with the 1933 Act Regulations, the Conversion Regulations or any order, all terms, conditions, requirements and provisions with respect to the Conversion imposed by the OTS, if any, will have been complied with by the Company and the Bank in all material respects or appropriate waivers will have been obtained and all material notices will have been satisfied.

(x) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; at the Closing Date the Company will be qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in Illinois and in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, earnings, capital, assets, properties or business of the Company. At the Closing Date, the Company will have obtained all licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations currently required for the conduct of its business except those that individually or in the aggregate would not materially adversely affect the financial condition, earnings, capital, assets, properties or business of the Company and the Bank, taken as a whole; all such licenses, permits and governmental authorizations will be in full force and effect, and the Company will be in all material respects complying with all material laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the operation of its business.

(xi) Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no contractual encumbrances or restrictions or requirements or legal restrictions or requirements required to be described therein, on the ability of either the Company or the Bank (A) to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its capital stock or to pay any indebtedness owed to another party, (B) to make any loans or advances to, or investments in, another party or (C) to transfer any of its property or assets to another party. Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no restrictions, encumbrances or requirements affecting the payment of dividends or the making of any other distributions on any of the capital stock of the Company.

(xii) The Bank has properly administered all accounts for which it acts as a fiduciary, including but not limited to accounts for which it serves as a trustee, agent, custodian, personal representative, guardian, conservator or investment advisor, in accordance with the terms of the governing documents and applicable state and federal law and regulation, except where the failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, earnings, capital, assets, properties or business of the Bank. Neither the Bank nor any of its directors, officers or employees has committed any material breach of trust with respect to any such fiduciary account, and the accountings for each such fiduciary account are true and correct in all material respects and accurately reflect the assets of such fiduciary account in all material respects.

(xiii) The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB-Chicago”). The deposit accounts of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the applicable limits, and no proceedings for the termination or revocation of such insurance are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or the Bank, threatened. Upon consummation of the Conversion, the liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders will be duly established in accordance with the requirements of the Conversion Regulations.

(xiv) The only direct subsidiary of the Bank is L.C.I. Service Corporation (the “Subsidiaries”).

(xv) The Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real property and good title to all other assets material to the business of the Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and to those properties and assets described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus as owned by them, in each case free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances or restrictions, except such as are described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, or are not material to the business of the Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and all of the leases and subleases material to the business of the Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole, under which the Company, the Bank or the Subsidiaries hold properties, including those described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, are in full force and effect.

(xvi) The Company and the Bank have received an opinion of their special counsel, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C., with respect to the federal corporate income tax consequences of the Conversion, including the contribution to the Foundation. The Company and the Bank have received an opinion of BKD, LLP with respect to the Illinois corporate income tax consequences of the Conversion. All material aspects of the opinion of each of Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, P.C. and BKD, LLP are accurately summarized in the Registration Statement and Prospectus; the facts upon which such opinions are based are truthful, accurate and complete in all material respects. Neither the Company nor the Bank will take any action inconsistent therewith.

(xvii) The Company and the Bank have all such power, authority, authorizations, approvals and orders as may be required to enter into this Agreement, to carry out the provisions and conditions hereof and to issue and sell the Shares to be sold by the Company as provided herein and as described in the Prospectus, except approvals that, by their terms, will not or need not be received until after the date of this Agreement, and except for the confirmation by the OTS of the final appraisal of the Company. The consummation of the Conversion, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Bank and this Agreement has been validly executed and delivered by the Company and the Bank and is the valid, legal and binding agreement of the Company and the Bank enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or the rights of creditors of savings and loan holding companies, the accounts of whose subsidiaries are insured by the FDIC, or by general equity principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and except to the extent, if any, that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof may be unenforceable as against public policy).

(xviii) None of the Company, the Bank or the Subsidiaries is in violation of any directive received from the OTS, the SEC, or any other agency to make any material change in the method of conducting their businesses so as to comply in all material respects with all applicable statutes and regulations (including, without limitation, regulations, decisions, directives and orders of the OTS or the SEC) and, except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no suit, proceeding, charge or action before or by any court, regulatory authority or governmental agency or body, pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, the Bank or the Subsidiaries, threatened, which might materially and adversely affect the Conversion, the performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Plan and as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or which might result in any material adverse change in the financial condition, earnings, capital, assets, properties or business of the Company, the Bank and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(xix) The financial statements, schedules and notes related thereto that are included in the Prospectus fairly present the financial condition, results of operations, equity and cash flows of the Bank at the dates indicated and for the respective periods covered thereby and comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Regulation S-X of the SEC and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (including those requiring the recording of certain assets at their current market value). Such financial statements, schedules and notes related thereto have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied through the periods involved (except as noted in the notes to the financial statements), present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein and are consistent with the most recent financial statements and other reports filed by the Bank and the Subsidiaries with the OTS, and any other applicable regulatory authority, except that accounting principles employed in such regulatory filings conform in all material respects to the requirements of the OTS and any other applicable regulatory authority and not necessarily to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The other financial, statistical and pro forma information and related notes included in the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein on a basis consistent with the audited and unaudited financial statements of the Bank included in the Prospectus, and as to the pro forma adjustments, the adjustments made therein have been consistently applied on the basis described therein.

that BKD, LLP is a firm of independent registered public accountants within the meaning of Rule 101 of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and applicable regulations of the SEC and stating in effect that in their opinion the consolidated financial statements, schedules and related notes of the Bank included in the Prospectus and/or covered by their opinion included therein, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and related published rules and regulations of the 1933 Act; (B) stating in effect that, on the basis of certain agreed upon procedures (but not an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) consisting of a reading of the latest available unaudited interim financial statements of the Bank prepared by the Bank, a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the Boards of Directors of the Bank and consultations with officers of the Bank responsible for financial and accounting matters, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that: (i) the unaudited financial statements included in the Prospectus are not in conformity with the 1933 Act, and generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the Prospectus; or (ii) during the period from the date of the latest unaudited financial statements included in the Prospectus to a specified date not more than three business days prior to the date of the Prospectus, except as has been described in the Prospectus, there was any increase in liabilities, other than normal deposit fluctuations or non-accrual loans, of the Bank, on a consolidated basis; or (iii) there was any decrease in the net assets, shareholders’ equity or allowance for loan losses of the Bank as compared with amounts shown in the latest unaudited balance sheets included in the Prospectus or there was any decrease in net income or net interest income or increase in non-interest expense of the Bank in each case for the number of full months commencing immediately after the period covered by the latest audited balance sheet and income statement included in the Prospectus and ended on the latest month end prior to the date of the Prospectus as compared to the corresponding period in the preceding year; and (C) stating that, in addition to the audit referred to in their opinion included in the Prospectus and the performance of the procedures referred to in clause (B) of this subsection (f), they have compared with the general accounting records of the Bank, which are subject to the internal controls of the Bank, the accounting system and other data prepared by the Bank, directly from such accounting records, to the extent specified in such letter, such amounts and/or percentages set forth in the Prospectus as the Agent may reasonably request, and they have found such amounts and percentages to be in agreement therewith.

In addition, with regard to any Issuer Represented General Free Writing Prospectus, BKD, LLP shall provide a letter stating that they have compared with the general accounting records of the Bank, which are subject to the internal controls of the Bank, the accounting system and other data prepared by the Bank, directly from such accounting records, to the extent specified in such letter, such amounts and/or percentages set forth in the Issuer Represented General Free Writing Prospectus as the Agent may reasonably request, and they have found such amounts and percentages to be in agreement therewith.

(g) To the extent a sale or other disposition or transfer of shares of common stock or other securities of the Company is not otherwise prohibited by applicable law or regulation for the duration of the time period provided therein, each of the persons set forth on Exhibit C hereto shall deliver a “lock-up” agreement, each substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, between KBW and such persons, relating to such sales and certain other dispositions or transfers of shares of common stock or certain other securities of the Company, on or before the date hereof and shall be in full force and effect at the Closing Time.

(h) At the Closing Date, the Agent shall receive a letter dated the Closing Date, addressed to the Agent, confirming the statements made by BKD, LLP in the letter delivered by it pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 7, the “specified date” referred to in clause (B) of subsection (f) to be a date specified in the letter required by this subsection (h) which for purposes of such letter shall not be more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(i) At the Closing Date, the Agent shall receive a letter from RP Financial, LC., dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Agent (A) confirming that said firm is independent of the Company and the Bank and is experienced and expert in the area of corporate appraisals within the meaning of the Conversion Regulations, (B) stating in effect that the Appraisal prepared by such firm complies in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Conversion Regulations, and (C) further stating that its opinion of the aggregate pro forma market value of the Company expressed in its Appraisal, as most recently updated, remains in effect.

(j) The Company and the Bank shall not have sustained since the date of the latest financial statements included in the Prospectus any material loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there shall not have been any change in the long-term debt of the Company or the Bank other than debt incurred in relation to the purchase of Shares by the Bank’s eligible plans, or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company or the Bank, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described above, is in the Agent’s reasonable judgment sufficiently material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Offering or the delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(k) At or prior to the Closing Date, the Agent shall receive: (A) a copy of the letters from the OTS approving the Conversion Application and declaring effective the Prospectus; (B) a copy of the order from the SEC declaring the Registration Statement effective, if available; (C) a certificate of legal existence from the State of Maryland evidencing the good standing of the Company; (D) a certificate of existence from the OTS evidencing the existence of the Bank; (E) a certificate from the FDIC evidencing the Bank’s insurance of accounts; (F) a certificate from the FHLB-Chicago evidencing the Bank’s membership therein; (G) a certified copy of each of the Company’s and the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation, Charter and Bylaws, as applicable and (H) any other documents that the Agent shall reasonably request.

(m) At or prior to the Closing Date, counsel to the Agent shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as they may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon the sale of the Shares as herein contemplated and related proceedings or in order to evidence the occurrence or completeness of any of the representations or warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the

conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company or the Bank in connection with the Conversion and the sale of the Shares as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance in the reasonable judgment of the Agent and its counsel.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) The Company and the Bank jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, its officers and directors, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, settlement expenses), joint or several, that the Agent or any of them may suffer or to which the Agent and any such persons may become subject under all applicable federal or state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Agent and any such persons upon written demand for any expenses (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel with such fees and disbursements limited to those of one firm) incurred by the Agent or any of them in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions: (A) arise out of or are related to the Conversion or any action taken by the Agent where acting as agent of the Company and the Bank; (B) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any instrument or document executed by the Company or the Bank or based upon written information supplied by the Company or the Bank filed in any state or jurisdiction to register or qualify any or all of the Shares or to claim an exemption therefrom or provided to any state or jurisdiction to exempt the Company as a broker-dealer or its officers, directors and employees as broker-dealers or agent, under the securities laws thereof (collectively, the “Blue Sky Application”), or any document, advertisement, oral statement or communication (“Sales Information”) prepared, made or executed by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank with their consent or based upon written or oral information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank, in order to qualify or register the Shares or to claim an exemption therefrom under the securities laws thereof; (C) arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents or information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (D) arise from any theory of liability whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application, including the Proxy Statement, (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Conversion; provided, however, that no indemnification is required under this paragraph (a) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue material statement or alleged untrue material statement in, or material omission or alleged material omission from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application, any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank by the Agent or its counsel regarding the Agent, provided, that it is agreed and understood that the only information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank by the Agent regarding the Agent is set forth in the Prospectus in the [NUMBER] paragraphs under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation;” and, provided further, that the Company and the Bank shall not be liable under clause (A) of the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or action is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and/or the Bank shall not provide any indemnification under this Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or directive by the OTS or the SEC.

(b) The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Bank, their directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Bank within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses), joint or several, which they, or any of them, may suffer or to which they, or any of them may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Company, the Bank, and any such persons upon written demand for any expenses (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of counsel with such fees and disbursements limited to those of one firm) incurred by them, as incurred, or any of them, in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions: (A) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information, (B) are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any of the foregoing documents a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) arise from any theory of liability whatsoever relating to or arising from or based upon the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information or other documentation distributed in connection with the Conversion; provided, however, that the Agent’s obligations under this Section 8(b) shall exist only if and only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in, or such material fact or alleged material fact was omitted from, the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the preliminary or final Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Conversion Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Blue Sky Application or Sales Information in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank by the Agent or its counsel regarding the Agent, provided, that it is agreed and understood that the only information furnished in writing to the Company or the Bank by the Agent regarding the Agent is set forth in the Prospectus in the [NUMBER] paragraphs under the caption “The Conversion; Plan of Distribution—Marketing and Distribution; Compensation.”

(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt written notice to each indemnifying party of any action, proceeding, claim (whether commenced or threatened), or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this Section 8 or otherwise. 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 special 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.

(d) The agreements contained in this Section 8 and in Section 9 hereof and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Bank set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of: (A) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its officers, directors or controlling persons, agent or employees or by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank or any officers, directors, trustees or controlling persons, agent or employees of the Company or the Bank; (B) delivery of and payment hereunder for the Shares; or (C) any termination of this Agreement.

Section 9. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from the Company, the Bank or the Agent, the Company, the Bank 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 Company, the Bank 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 Company from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, and the Company and the Bank 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 Company and the Bank 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 Company and the Bank 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 Company and/or the Bank 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 Company, the Bank and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 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 9. 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 9 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 8(b) or this Section 9 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 Company, the Bank and the Agent under this Section 9 and under Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company, the Bank and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this Section 9, each of the Agent’s, the Company’s or the Bank’s officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Agent or the Company or the Bank

within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, the Company or the Bank. 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 9, 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 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and/or the Bank shall not provide any contribution under this Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable law, rule, order or directive by the OTS or the SEC.

Section 10. Survival of Agreements, Representations and Indemnities. The respective indemnities of the Company, the Bank and the Agent and the representations and warranties and other statements of the Company, the Bank and the Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, the Company, the Bank or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof, and shall survive the issuance of the Shares, and any successor or assign of the Agent, the Company, the Bank, and any such controlling person shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations.

(b) If any of the conditions specified in Section 7 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 canceled by the Agent by notifying the Company and the Bank of such cancellation in writing or by facsimile or email 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), 6, 8 and 9 hereof.

(c) In the event either the Company or the Bank is in material breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in Sections 4(a) and 5 and such breach has not been cured after the Agent has provided the Company and the Bank with notice of such breach and provided a reasonable amount of time to cure.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. (“KBW”) proposes to enter into an Agency Agreement (the “Agency Agreement”) with IF Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federal mutual savings association (together with its subsidiaries, the “Bank” and, together with the Company, the “Iroquois Parties”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by KBW of up to [3,910,000] shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

To induce KBW to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of KBW, it will not, during the period beginning on the date of the final prospectus relating to the subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering Prospectus”) and ending 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, (3) exercise any stock options providing for the issuance of shares of Common Stock during the Offering, or (4) announce any intention to take any of the foregoing actions, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift, or (c) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners or stockholders of the undersigned; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b) or (c), (i) each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the restricted period referred to in the foregoing sentence.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of KBW, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

B-1

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) during the last 17 days of the Restricted Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Restricted Period, the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. The Company shall promptly notify KBW of any earnings release, news or event that may give rise to an extension of the initial Restricted Period.

The undersigned shall not engage in any transaction that may be restricted by this agreement during the 34-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Restricted Period unless the undersigned requests and receives prior written confirmation from the Company or KBW that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired.

The undersigned understands that the Company and KBW are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Agency Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and KBW.

Very truly yours,
