Ladies and Gentlemen:

Magnolia Bancorp, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Magnolia Bancorp”) and Mutual Savings and Loan Association, a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association (“Mutual Savings”) (collectively Magnolia Bancorp and Mutual Savings are the “Mutual Savings Parties”) hereby confirm, jointly and severally, their agreement with Keefe, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc. (“KBW” or the “Agent”), as follows:

Section 1.               The Offering. In accordance with that certain Plan of Conversion of Mutual Savings and Loan Association, dated February 1, 2024 (the “Plan”), Magnolia Bancorp is offering shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock” or the “Shares”), for sale at $10.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”) in connection with the conversion of Mutual Savings from the mutual to stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). All capitalized terms used in this Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”) and not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The Conversion is being conducted in accordance with the laws of the United States and the applicable regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) (such laws and regulations are referred to herein as the “Conversion Regulations”).

In connection with the Conversion, Magnolia Bancorp will offer for sale shares of its Common Stock in a subscription offering (the “Subscription Offering”) to: (i) first, depositors of Mutual Savings with $50.00 or more on deposit as of the close of business on December 31, 2022 (“Eligible Account Holders”); (ii) second, tax-qualified employee plans of Mutual Savings, including the employee stock ownership plan; (iii) third, each depositor of Mutual Savings with $50.00 or more on deposit as of the close of business on September 30, 2024 who is not an Eligible Account Holder (“Supplemental Eligible Account Holders”); and (iv) fourth, each depositor of Mutual Savings at the close of business on the Voting Record Date who is not an Eligible Account Holder, Tax-Qualified Employee Plan or Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, as of specified eligibility dates (“Other Members”) , in each case other than depositors residing in those states in which the Offering (as defined below) will not be made. Shares not purchased in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale to the general public in a community offering (the “Community Offering”), with a preference given to: (i) natural persons (including trusts of natural persons) residing in Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes and the adjacent parishes in Louisiana, namely Lafourche Parish, Orleans Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, St. Xxxx the Baptist Parish, Tangipahoa Parish and Washington Parish in the State of Louisiana; and thereafter (ii) other members of the general public. Depending on market conditions, Shares available for sale but not subscribed for in the Subscription Offering or purchased in the 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”) as described in subsection 4(a)(iii) below.

Pursuant to the Plan, Magnolia Bancorp is offering for sale a minimum of 616,250 Shares and a maximum of 833,750 Shares (subject to an increase up to 958,813 Shares) in the Subscription Offering, and, if necessary, in the Community Offering and/or the Syndicated Community Offering (collectively, the “Offering”).

Upon completion of the Conversion, Mutual Savings will be organized as a federal stock savings and loan association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnolia Bancorp. Magnolia Bancorp will sell the Shares in the Offering at the Purchase Price. If the number of Shares offered for sale is increased or decreased in accordance with the Plan, the term “Shares” shall mean such greater or lesser number, as applicable.

Magnolia Bancorp has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-281796) in order to register the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and has filed such amendments thereto as have been required to the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”). The prospectus, as amended, included in the Registration Statement at the time it initially became effective is hereinafter called the “Prospectus,” except that if any prospectus is filed by Magnolia Bancorp 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 included in the Registration Statement at the time it 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 Commission and shall include any supplements and amendments thereto from and after their dates of effectiveness or use, respectively.

In connection with the Conversion, Mutual Savings has filed with the OCC an Application to Convert From Mutual to Stock Form on Form AC (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices and amendments thereto, the “Conversion Application”) as required by the OCC in accordance with the Conversion Regulations. Magnolia Bancorp has also filed with the Federal Reserve an Application to Become a Savings and Loan Holding Company or to Acquire a Savings Association or Savings and Loan Holding Company on Form FR LL-10(e) (together with any other required ancillary applications and/or notices and amendments thereto, the “Holding Company Application”) to become a savings and loan holding company under Section 10 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended (the “HOLA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 2.               Retention of Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Mutual Savings Parties hereby appoint the Agent as their exclusive financial advisor and Agent xxxxxx agrees to utilize its best efforts to solicit subscriptions for the Shares and to advise and assist the Mutual Savings Parties with respect to Magnolia Bancorp’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 Mutual Savings Parties as to the matters set forth in (i) the letter agreement, dated August 23, 2023, between Mutual Savings and the Agent (the “Engagement Letter”) and (ii) the matters set forth in the letter agreement, dated August 23, 2023, regarding Services of Conversion Agent and Data Processing Records Management Agent, between Mutual Savings and the Agent (the “Conversion Agent Engagement Letter”). It is acknowledged by the Mutual Savings Parties that the Agent shall not be required to purchase any Shares or be obligated to take any action that is inconsistent with any applicable law, regulation, decision or order.

Except as described in Section 14 of this Agreement, the obligations of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate upon the completion, termination or abandonment of the Plan by the Mutual Savings Parties or upon termination of the Offering, but in no event later than 45 days after the completion of the Community Offering, unless extended as provided for in the Plan (as may be extended the “End Date”). 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 Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent may agree to renew this Agreement under mutually acceptable terms and subject to the approval of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over such matters.

In the event Magnolia Bancorp is unable to sell a minimum of 616,250 Shares by the End Date, this Agreement shall terminate and Magnolia Bancorp shall 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 or cancel their deposit withdrawal authorizations, 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 Sections 4(a), 10, 12, 13 and 14 hereof.

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, Magnolia Bancorp agrees to issue, or have issued, the Shares sold in the Offering on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) the Shares sold in the Offering and to release for delivery statements of book-entry ownership for such shares against payment to Magnolia Bancorp by any means authorized by the Plan; provided, however, that no funds shall be released to Magnolia Bancorp until the conditions specified in Section 11 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 mutually acceptable to the Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent. Statements of ownership for Share, shall be delivered directly to the purchasers in accordance with their directions. The date upon which Magnolia Bancorp shall release or deliver the Shares sold in the Offering, in accordance with the terms herein, is called the “Closing Date.”

Section 4.               Compensation. (a) The Agent shall receive the following compensation for its services hereunder:

(i)             A non-refundable cash fee of $30,000 (the “Management Fee”), payable as follows: (i) $15,000 payable upon the execution of the Engagement Letter, which has been paid in full, and (ii) $15,000 payable upon the initial filing of the Registration Statement, which has been paid in full. Such fee was earned in full when due and paid. Should this Agreement be terminated for any reason, the Agent shall have earned in full, and be entitled to be paid in full, all fees then due and payable as of such date of termination.

(ii)           A success fee of $300,000 which is payable upon the completion of the Offering (the “Success Fee”). The Success Fee described in this Section 4(a)(ii) shall be reduced by the Management Fee described in Section 4(a)(i).

(iii)          If any of the Shares remain available after the completion of the Subscription Offering and any Community Offering, at the request of Magnolia Bancorp, 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 in the Syndicated Community Offering, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a selected dealers agreement to be entered into by and between the Mutual Savings Parties and KBW. KBW will endeavor to distribute the Shares among the Selected Dealers in a fashion which best meets the distribution objectives of the Mutual Savings Parties and the Conversion. In the event of a Syndicated Community Offering, KBW will be paid a transaction fee not to exceed 6.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the Shares sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. From this fee, KBW will pass on to the Selected Dealers, if any, who assist in such 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 effected with the assistance of Selected Dealers other than KBW shall be transmitted by KBW to such Selected Dealers.

(iv)          In connection with the Subscription Offering, if, as a result of any re-solicitation of subscribers undertaken by the Mutual Savings Parties, KBW reasonably determines that it is required or requested to provide significant services, KBW will be entitled to additional compensation for such services, which additional compensation will not exceed $25,000.

(v)           A non-refundable cash fee of $30,000 (the “Services Fee”) in connection with KBW’s provision of services as conversion agent and data processing records management agent, pursuant to the Conversion Agent Engagement Letter. The Services Fee shall be payable as follows: (A) $15,000 was previously paid upon the signing of the Conversion Agent Engagement Letter, and (B) all remaining amounts shall be payable immediately upon the completion of the Offering. The Services Fee may be increased up to an additional $10,000 if there are material changes in applicable regulations or the Plan, or there are delays requiring duplicate or replacement processing.

(b)           To the extent required under applicable rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the payment of compensation by the Mutual Savings Parties to KBW pursuant to this Section 4 is subject to FINRA’s prior review and non-objection thereof.

(c)            The Mutual Savings Parties will reimburse KBW for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $30,000 (subject to the provisions of this paragraph), related to the Offering, including, but not limited to, costs of temporary staff, travel, meals and lodging, clerical assistance, photocopying, telephone, facsimile, and couriers. KBW will also be reimbursed for fees and expenses of its counsel not to exceed $75,000 (subject to the provisions of this paragraph). These expense caps assume no unusual circumstances or delays, and no re-solicitation in connection with the Offering. The Mutual Savings Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event unusual circumstances arise or a delay or re-solicitation occurs (including, but not limited to, a delay in the Offering which 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 offering documents), such expense caps may be increased by additional amounts, not to exceed an additional $15,000 in the case of additional out-of-pocket expenses of KBW and an additional $25,000 in the case of additional fees and expenses of KBW’s legal counsel. In no event shall out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, exceed $145,000. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to or in any way impair or limit the indemnification or contribution provisions contained herein.

(d)           The Mutual Savings Parties will also reimburse KBW for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the services provided pursuant to the Conversion Agent Engagement Letter, regardless of whether the Offering is consummated, provided that such out-of-pocket expenses shall not exceed $10,000. Not later than two days before the closing of the Offering, KBW will provide the Mutual Savings Parties with documentation of all reimbursable expenses of KBW to be paid at the Closing (as hereinafter defined). The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to or in any way impair the indemnification, contribution or liability limitation provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(e)           Except for the Management Fee and a portion of the Services Fee as set forth in Section 4(a)(v) above, each of which has been paid in full before the date of this Agreement, full payment of Agent’s other fees and expenses, as described above, shall be made in next day funds on the earlier of the Closing Date or the date of a determination by the Mutual Savings Parties to terminate or abandon the Plan.

Section 5.               Closing. The closing for the sale of the Shares shall take place on the Closing Date at such location as mutually agreed upon by the Agent and the Mutual Savings Parties (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Mutual Savings Parties shall deliver to the Agent in next day funds the commissions, fees and expenses due and owing to the Agent as set forth in Sections 4 and 10 hereof and the opinions and certificates required hereby and other documents deemed reasonably necessary by the Agent shall be executed and delivered to effect the sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Prospectus.

On the Closing Date, the Mutual Savings Parties will have obtained all licenses, permits and other governmental authorizations then required for the conduct of their business, except those that individually or in the aggregate would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and as of the Closing Date, all such licenses, permits and governmental authorizations will be in full force and effect, and the Mutual Savings Parties will be in compliance therewith in all material respects, and the Mutual Savings Parties will be in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the operation of its business. Except as disclosed in the audited financial statements included in the Prospectus, Magnolia Bancorp does not own equity securities or any equity interest in any other business enterprise other than Mutual Savings.

(o)            Except as disclosed in the Prospectus with respect to material weaknesses in internal controls, the Mutual Savings Parties maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accounts or assets are compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

(p)            The books, records and accounts and systems of internal accounting control of the Mutual Savings Parties comply in all material respects with the requirements of Section 13(b)(2) of 1934 Act, except as disclosed in the Prospectus with respect to material weaknesses in internal controls. The Mutual Savings Parties maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that the information they will be required to disclose in the reports filed or submitted under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to Magnolia Bancorp’s management (including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer) in a timely manner and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms under the 1934 Act, in each case except as disclosed in the Prospectus with respect to material weaknesses in internal controls. To the knowledge of the Mutual Savings Parties, XxxxxxXxxxx LLP and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have been advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which could adversely affect the Mutual Savings Parties’ ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Mutual Savings Parties’ internal accounting controls. Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Mutual Savings Parties’ internal control over financial reporting.

(q)           Mutual Savings carries, or is covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as are prudent and customary in the business in which it is engaged, and all policies of insurance insuring Mutual Savings are in full force and effect. Mutual Savings is in compliance with the terms of such insurance policies and instruments in all material respects and there are no claims by any of them under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause. Within the past five years, Mutual Savings has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, nor has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business.

(r)            Mutual Savings is duly organized and is a validly existing federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association and upon completion of the Conversion will become a federally-chartered stock savings and loan association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnolia Bancorp, in both instances duly authorized to conduct its business and own its property as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

Mutual Savings is a “qualified thrift lender” within the meaning of 12 U.S.C. § 1467a (m). Upon completion of the Conversion, (i) all of the authorized and outstanding capital stock of Mutual Savings will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned by Magnolia Bancorp free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or restriction of any kind and (ii) Magnolia Bancorp will have no direct subsidiaries other than Mutual Savings. 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 letters or orders of approval, all terms, conditions, requirements and provisions with respect to the Conversion imposed by the OCC, the SEC, the Federal Reserve or any other governmental agency, if any, will have been complied with by the Mutual Savings Parties in all material respects or appropriate waivers will have been obtained and all notice and waiting periods will have been satisfied, waived or elapsed.

(s)           Except as described in the Prospectus, there are no encumbrances or restrictions or requirements or material legal restrictions or requirements required to be described therein, on the ability of any Mutual Savings Party (i) to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its capital stock or to pay any indebtedness owed to another party, (ii) to make any loans or advances to, or investments in, another party or (iii) to transfer any of its property or assets to another party.

(t)            Mutual Savings 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 be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Mutual Savings, 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.

(u)           The authorized capital stock of Magnolia Bancorp consists of 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) of which no shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

(v)           Mutual Savings is a member of the FHLB-Dallas. The deposit accounts of Mutual Savings are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to the maximum limits, and no proceedings for the termination or revocation of such insurance are pending or, to the knowledge of the Mutual Savings Parties, threatened.

(w)           Upon consummation of the Conversion, the authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of Magnolia Bancorp will be within the range set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Capitalization” and no shares of Common Stock have been or will be issued and outstanding prior to the Closing Date; the Shares will have been duly and validly authorized and when issued and delivered by Magnolia Bancorp pursuant to the Plan against payment of the consideration calculated as set forth in the Plan and the Prospectus, will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and will be owned free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or legal or equitable claim. Upon consummation of the Conversion, there will be no outstanding warrants or options to purchase any securities of Magnolia Bancorp. The Shares will have been issued in compliance with federal and state securities laws. The issuance of the Shares is not subject to preemptive rights, except for the subscription rights granted pursuant to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Shares will conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus. Upon issuance of the Shares, good title to the Shares will be transferred from Magnolia Bancorp to the purchasers of the Shares against payment therefor, as set forth in the Plan and the Prospectus, subject to such claims as may be asserted against the purchasers thereof by third party claimants.

(x)            None of the Mutual Savings Parties is or at the Closing Date will be (i) in violation of their respective articles of incorporation, charters, bylaws, or other governing documents, as applicable or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant, or condition contained in any contract, lease, loan agreement, indenture or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound, which, in the case of clause (ii) only, would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not: (i) violate or conflict with the articles, charter, bylaws or other governing documents of any of the Mutual Savings Parties; (ii) conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, any material contract, lease or other instrument to which any of the Mutual Savings Parties is a party or by which any of the properties of the Mutual Savings Parties may be bound, or any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, except for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults that would not individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) violate any authorization, approval, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Mutual Savings Parties, except for such violations which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property of the Mutual Savings Parties, except for such liens, charges or encumbrances that would not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(y)            All documents made available to or delivered or to be made available to or delivered by the Mutual Savings Parties or their representatives in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares, including records of account holders and depositors of Mutual Savings, or in connection with the Agent’s exercise of due diligence, except for those documents which were prepared by parties other than the Mutual Savings Parties or their representatives, to the knowledge of the Mutual Savings Parties, were on the dates on which they were delivered, or will be on the dates on which they are to be delivered, true, complete and correct in all material respects.

(z)            No default exists, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default on the part of any of the Mutual Savings Parties, in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or condition of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, bank loan or credit agreement or any other instrument or agreement to which any of the Mutual Savings Parties is a party or by which any of their property is bound or affected in any respect which, in any such case, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and such agreements are in full force and effect; and no other party to any such agreement has instituted or, to the knowledge of any of the Mutual Savings Parties, threatened any action or proceeding wherein any of the Mutual Savings Parties is alleged to be in default thereunder under circumstances where such action or proceeding, if determined adversely to any of the Mutual Savings Parties, would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(aa)         The Mutual Savings Parties have good and marketable title to all real property and good title to all other assets which are material to the businesses of the Mutual Savings Parties, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, restrictions or other claims, except such as are described in the Prospectus, the pledging of assets to secure advances from the FHLB-Dallas, or where the absence of good and marketable title, or good title, as the case may be, or the existence of such liens, charges, encumbrances, restrictions or other claims would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and all of the leases and subleases which are material to the businesses of the Mutual Savings Parties, taken as a whole, including those described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, are in full force and effect.

(bb)         The Mutual Savings Parties are not in violation of any directive from the Federal Reserve or the OCC, or any other agency, to make any material change in the method of conducting their respective 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 Federal Reserve or the OCC); the Mutual Savings Parties have conducted and are conducting their respective businesses so as to comply in all respects with all applicable statutes and regulations (including, without limitation, regulations, decisions, directives and orders of the Commission, Federal Reserve or the OCC), except where the failure to so comply would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there is no charge, investigation, action, suit or proceeding before or by any court, regulatory authority or governmental agency or body pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Mutual Savings Parties, threatened, which might materially and adversely affect the Conversion, the performance of this Agreement by the Mutual Savings Parties, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Plan as described in the Registration Statement, or which might be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(cc)          The Mutual Savings Parties have received opinions of their special counsel, Silver, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, with respect to the federal and Louisiana state income tax consequences of the Conversion; all material aspects of the opinions of Silver, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP are accurately summarized in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and the facts upon which such opinions are based are truthful, accurate and complete in all material respects, and none of the Mutual Savings Parties will intentionally take any action inconsistent therewith.

There are no transfer taxes or other similar fees or charges under Federal law or the laws of any state, or any political subdivision thereof, required to be paid in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Mutual Savings Parties or with the issuance or sale by Magnolia Bancorp of the Shares.

(ee)         No approval, authorization, consent or other order of any regulatory or supervisory or other public authority is required by the Mutual Savings Parties for the execution and delivery by the Mutual Savings Parties of this Agreement, or the issuance of the Shares, except for the approvals of the Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the Commission, such approvals as may be required under the rules of FINRA or the OTCQB Market, and any necessary qualification, notification, or registration or exemption under the securities or blue sky laws of the various states in which the Shares are to be offered.

(d)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will not conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, provisions or conditions of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Agent or any material agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Agent is a party or by which it or its property is bound.

(e)           No approval of any regulatory or supervisory or other public authority is required in connection with the Agent’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, except as may have been received.

(f)            No action, suit, charge or proceeding before the Commission, FINRA, any state securities commission or any court is pending or, to the knowledge of Agent, threatened, against Agent which, if determined adversely to Agent, would have a material adverse effect upon the ability of Agent to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.               Covenants of the Mutual Savings Parties.

The Mutual Savings Parties hereby jointly and severally covenant with the Agent as follows:

(a)            Magnolia Bancorp will not, at any time after the date the Registration Statement is initially filed, file any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement without providing the Agent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such amendment or supplement. Magnolia Bancorp will furnish promptly to the Agent and its counsel copies of all correspondence from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement and Magnolia Bancorp’s responses thereto.

(b)            Magnolia Bancorp represents and agrees that it has not made and, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), will not make any offer relating to the Shares that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act, required to be filed with the SEC. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by Magnolia Bancorp and the Agent is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” Magnolia Bancorp represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the SEC where required, legending and record keeping. Magnolia Bancorp represents that it has satisfied the conditions in Rule 433 to avoid a requirement to file with the SEC any electronic road show.

(c)            If at any time following issuance of a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict in any material respect with the information contained in the Registration Statement or Prospectus 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, Magnolia Bancorp will promptly notify the Agent that any use of such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented, and Magnolia Bancorp will promptly amend or supplement such Permitted Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(d)            The Mutual Savings Parties will not, at any time after the date the Conversion Application and the Holding Company Application are approved, file any amendment or supplement to either application without providing the Agent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the non-confidential portions of such amendment or supplement. The Mutual Savings Parties will furnish promptly to the Agent and its counsel copies of all correspondence from the Federal Reserve, the OCC, or any other regulator with respect to the Applications.

(e)            The Mutual Savings Parties will use their best efforts to cause the OCC and the Federal Reserve to respectively approve the Conversion Application and the Holding Company Application and will use their best efforts to cause any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission and any post-approval amendment to the Conversion Application or the Holding Company Application to be approved by the OCC and/or the Federal Reserve, as applicable, and will promptly upon receipt of any information concerning the events listed below notify the Agent (i) when the Registration Statement has become effective; (ii) when the Conversion Application has been approved by the OCC; (iii) when the Holding Company Application has been approved by the Federal Reserve; (iv) of the receipt of any comments from the Federal Reserve or any other governmental entity with respect to the Conversion or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) of any request by the Commission, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, or any other governmental entity for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Applications or for additional information; (vi) of the issuance by the Commission or the Federal Reserve, or any other governmental agency of any order or other action suspending the Offering or the use of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any other filing of the Mutual Savings Parties under the Conversion Regulations or other applicable law, or the threat of any such action; or (vii) of the issuance by the Commission, the OCC or the Federal Reserve, or any other state authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of initiation or threat of any proceedings for that purpose. The Mutual Savings Parties will make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance by the Commission, the OCC, the Federal Reserve, or any other state authority of any order referred to in (vi) and (vii) above and, if any such order shall at any time be issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time.

(f)            Magnolia Bancorp will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 18 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the 1933 Act), an earnings statement of Magnolia Bancorp and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

(g)           Magnolia Bancorp will deliver to the Agent and to its counsel two conformed copies of the Registration Statement, as originally filed and each amendment thereto. Further, Magnolia Bancorp will deliver such additional copies of the Registration Statement to counsel to the Agent as may be required for any FINRA filings. The filing of the Registration Statement on the Commission’s XXXXX system shall constitute delivery for this purpose.

(h)           Magnolia Bancorp will furnish to the Agent, from time to time during the period when the Prospectus (or any later prospectus related to this Offering) is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, such number of copies of such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Agent may reasonably request for the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

If it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Mutual Savings Parties, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to correct such untrue statement of a material fact or to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time of their use, the Mutual Savings Parties will, at their expense, prepare, file with the Commission and to the extent required the OCC and the Federal Reserve, and furnish to the Agent, a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or amendments of, or a supplement or supplements to, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (after a reasonable time for review by counsel for the Agent) which will amend or supplement the Registration Statement and/or the Prospectus so that as amended or supplemented it 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 existing at the time, not misleading. For the purpose of this subsection, each of the Mutual Savings Parties will furnish such information with respect to itself as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

As of the date of this Agreement, the only such information about the Agent provided for such use is contained in the Prospectus in the last sentence of the first paragraph under the caption “Market for the Common Stock” and under the captions “The Conversion and Offering—Plan of Distribution; Selling Agent and Underwriter Compensation” and “The Conversion and Offering—Records Management.” Provided further, that the Mutual Savings Parties will not be responsible for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction finds they result primarily from material oral misstatements by the Agent to a purchaser or prospective purchaser of Shares which are not based upon information in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or from actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent in bad faith, or from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Agent agrees to repay promptly to the Mutual Savings Parties any amounts advanced to it by the Mutual Savings Parties in connection with matters as to which it is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b)           The Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Mutual Savings Parties and their Related Persons against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses, subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of subsection (c) below), joint or several, which the Mutual Savings Parties or any of their Related Persons may suffer or to which the Mutual Savings Parties or any of their Related Persons, may become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise, and to promptly reimburse the Mutual Savings Parties and their Related Persons upon written demand for any reasonable expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by them in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions, proceedings or claims (whether commenced or threatened) to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions 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 Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Applications or any Blue Sky Applications or Sales Information or 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; provided, however, that the Agent’s obligations under this Section 12(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 Applications, Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Mutual Savings Parties by the Agent or its representatives (including counsel) expressly for use in such documents. As of the date of this Agreement, the only such information about the Agent provided for such use is contained in the Prospectus in the last sentence of the first paragraph under the caption “Market for the Common Stock” and under the captions “The Conversion and Offering – Plan of Distribution; Selling Agent and Underwriter Compensation” and “The Conversion and Stock Offering – Records Management.

(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 12, Section 13 or otherwise, unless the failure to give such notice promptly results in material prejudice to the indemnifying party. 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 the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it reasonably acceptable to 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 (unless an indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition to those of other indemnified parties) for all indemnified parties 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. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, proceeding or suit, which settlement is effected without its prior written consent. Neither the Mutual Savings Parties nor the Agent shall, without the written consent of the other, settle or compromise any claim against them or it based upon circumstances giving rise to an indemnification claim against the other party hereunder unless such settlement or compromise provides that the indemnified party shall be unconditionally and irrevocably released from all liability in respect to such claim.

(d)           The agreements contained in this Section 12 and in Section 13 hereof and the representations and warranties of the Mutual Savings Parties set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent or its officers, directors, controlling persons, agents, attorneys, servants or employees or by or on behalf of any of the Mutual Savings Parties or any officers, directors, controlling persons, agents, attorneys, servants or employees of any of the Mutual Savings Parties; (ii) delivery of and payment hereunder for the Shares; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, Sections 12 and 13 hereof are subject to and limited by all applicable securities and banking laws and regulations including Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Part 359 of the Regulations of the FDIC.

Section 13.             Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in Section 12 is due in accordance with its terms but is found in a final judgment by a court to be unavailable from the Mutual Savings Parties or the Agent, the Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities of the nature contemplated by such indemnification (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection therewith and any amount paid in settlement of any action, suit, or proceeding of any claims asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Mutual Savings Parties or the Agent from persons other than the other party thereto, who may also be liable for contribution) in such proportion so that (i) the Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the fees paid to the Agent pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement (not including expenses) (“Agent’s Fees”), less any portion of Agent’s Fees paid by Agent to Selected Dealers, bears to the total proceeds received by the Mutual Savings Parties from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, net of all expenses of the Offering, except Agent’s Fees and (ii) the Mutual Savings Parties shall be responsible for the balance. If, however, the allocation provided above is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 12 above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable to such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits received by the Mutual Savings Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other from the Offering, but also the relative fault of the Mutual Savings 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 thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Mutual Savings Parties on the one hand and the Agent on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the Offering, except Agent’s fees, net of all expenses of the Offering, received by the Mutual Savings Parties bear, with respect to the Agent, to the total fees (not including expenses) received by the Agent less the portion of such fees paid by the Agent to Selected Dealers. 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 Mutual Savings 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 Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 13 were determined by pro-rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 13. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action, proceedings or claims in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 13 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 which in the aggregate exceeds the amount paid (excluding reimbursable expenses) to the Agent under this Agreement, less the portion of such fees paid by the Agent to Selected Dealers. It is understood and agreed 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution with respect to any loss or liability arising from such misrepresentation from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The duties, obligations and liabilities of the Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent under this Section 13 and under Section 12 shall be in addition to any duties, obligations and liabilities which the Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent may otherwise have. For purposes of this Section 13, each of the Agent’s and the Mutual Savings Parties’ officers, directors and controlling persons within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Mutual Savings Parties and the Agent. 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 13, 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 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Mutual Savings Parties shall provide any contribution under this Agreement to the extent prohibited by applicable securities and banking laws and regulations, including Section 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Part 359 of the Regulations of the FDIC.

Section 14.             Survival.

(a)            All representations, warranties and indemnities and other statements contained in this Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Mutual Savings Parties or the Agent submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and 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 or its controlling persons, or by or on behalf of the Mutual Savings Parties and shall survive the issuance of the Shares, and any legal representative, successor or assign of the Agent, any of the Mutual Savings Parties, and any indemnified person shall be entitled to the benefit of the respective agreements, indemnities, warranties and representations.

(b)            The provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Engagement Letter, “Additional Services,” shall survive the issuance of the Shares (but not any termination or cancellation of this Agreement) for a period of three years from the Closing Date, and any legal representative, successor or assign of the Agent and any of the Mutual Savings Parties shall be entitled during such period to the benefit of the agreements contained therein.

Section 15.             Termination.

(a)            Agent may terminate this Agreement by giving the notice indicated below in this Section at any time after this Agreement becomes effective as follows:

(i)            In the event (a) the Plan is abandoned or terminated by Mutual Savings; (b) Magnolia Bancorp fails to consummate the sale of the minimum number of Shares by the date on which such sale must be completed, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan or as required by the Conversion Regulations and applicable law; or (c) immediately prior to commencement of the Offering, the Agent terminates this relationship because such material adverse changes in the financial condition of Mutual Savings or the prospective market for Magnolia Bancorp’s Common Stock as in the Agent’s good faith opinion would make it inadvisable to proceed with the Offering, sale or delivery of the Shares, this Agreement shall terminate and Magnolia Bancorp shall refund 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 in accordance with Section 2 hereof, and any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 2, 4 (excluding the fees set forth in Sections 4(a)(ii) and (iii)), 10, 12, 13 and 14 hereof.

(ii)           If any of the conditions specified in Section 11 hereof shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement or waived in writing by the Agent, this Agreement and all of the Agent’s obligations hereunder may be canceled by the Agent by notifying Magnolia Bancorp of such cancellation in writing 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 4(a) and 10 (relating to the reimbursement of expenses) and Sections 12, 13 and 14 hereof.

(iii)           If Agent elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 15(a), Magnolia Bancorp shall be notified by the Agent as provided in Section 16 hereof.

(iv)            If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15(a), the Agent shall retain the advisory and management fee paid to it pursuant to Section 4(a) and the Mutual Savings Parties shall reimburse the Agent for any of its other actual, accountable, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to Section 10, including, without limitation, communication, legal and travel expenses.

(b)            Either Agent or the Mutual Savings Parties may terminate this Agreement in the event any of the Mutual Savings Parties (in the event of a termination initiated by Agent) or Agent (in the event of a termination initiated by the Mutual Savings Parties) is in material breach of the representations and warranties or covenants in this Agreement and such breach has not been cured within 15 days after the party initiating termination provides notice of such breach to the breaching party. If this Agreement is terminated by Agent under circumstances that would permit termination under Section 15(a) of this Agreement, then the provisions of Section 15(a) shall apply, regardless of whether this Agreement could also be terminated by Agent under this Section 15(b).

(d)           This Agreement may be terminated by the Mutual Savings Parties if the Plan of Conversion is terminated, and the Mutual Savings Parties shall refund 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 in accordance with Section 2 hereof, and any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as otherwise provided in Sections 2, 4, 10, 12, 13 and 14 hereof.
