Section 2.02 Effect on Outstanding Shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock.

At and after the Effective Time, each share of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of Northfield Bancorp and shall not be affected by the Mid-Tier Merger.

Section 2.03. Closing; Effective Time.

The closing of the Mergers (“Closing”) shall occur on the date determined by Northfield Bancorp, in consultation with and upon no less than three (3) business days prior written notice to Flatbush Federal Bancorp, but in no event later than the close of business on the tenth business day

following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) waiver of those conditions), or such other date that may be agreed to in writing by the Parties (the date on which the Closing occurs being the “Closing Date”). The Mid-Tier Merger shall be effected by the filing of Articles of Combination with the FRB on the Closing Date in accordance with the HOLA. The Mid-Tier Merger shall become effective at such time the Articles of Combination are filed with the FRB, or at such later time as the Parties agree and specify in the Articles of Combination, in accordance with the HOLA (the date and time the Mid-Tier Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.04. Conversion of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mid-Tier Merger and without any action on the part of Northfield Bancorp, Flatbush Federal Bancorp or the holders of any of the shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock:

(a) All shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock held in the treasury of Flatbush Federal Bancorp (“Treasury Stock”) and each share of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock owned by Northfield Bancorp immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the Certificates for such shares shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.

(b) Subject to Section 2.04(a), each share of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenters’ Shares) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive 0.4748 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) If the Adjusted Stockholders Equity (as defined below) of Flatbush Federal Bancorp as of the last day of the month prior to the month in which the Effective Time is expected to occur (the “Measurement Date”) is less than $18,275,000, the Exchange Ratio shall be decreased by an amount equal to ((x) the difference between $18,275,000 and the Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity as of the Measurement Date divided by (y) the number of outstanding shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock as of the Effective Time), divided by $13.69 (rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth). “Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity” shall mean the consolidated stockholders’ equity of Flatbush Federal Bancorp, calculated in accordance with GAAP, which shall be adjusted to: (i) exclude the effect of the payment or accrual of all customary fees and expenses directly related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, calculated on a tax-effected basis where appropriate; and (ii) add any effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) back to equity. Transaction expenses that may be excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity include fees and expenses of legal counsel and financial advisors for services rendered in connection with this Agreement, payments made with respect to the termination of any existing data processing or other services contract, expenses incurred in connection with holding the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Shareholders Meeting and the Flatbush MHC Members Meeting, any payments or accruals with respect to termination of any officers or employees at or after the Effective Time, and any expenses related to actions taken at the request of Northfield Bancorp. Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity shall be calculated by Flatbush Federal Bancorp as of the close of business on the Measurement Date, using reasonable

estimates of revenues and expenses where actual amounts are not available. Such calculation shall be subject to verification by Northfield Bancorp before the Closing.

(d) After the Effective Time, shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock shall be no longer outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and, except as to Dissenters’ Shares, shall thereafter by operation of this section represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(e) In the event Northfield Bancorp changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Northfield Bancorp Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.05 Procedures for Exchange of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Northfield Bancorp shall reserve sufficient shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock equal to the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.04 of this Article II (such shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock together with the cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid in accordance with Section 2.05(i) herein being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Northfield Bancorp shall cause the Exchange Agent, within five (5) business days after the Effective Time, to mail to each holder of a Certificate or Certificates, a form letter of transmittal for return to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for the Merger Consideration into which the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Mid-Tier Merger. The letter of transmittal shall be subject to the approval of Flatbush Federal Bancorp (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration and a check representing any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate(s) surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05, and the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration.

(c) The holder of a Certificate shall have no rights, after the Effective Time, with respect to such Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares) as provided in this Agreement.

(d) If the Person surrendering a Certificate and signing the accompanying letter of transmittal is not the record holder thereof, then it shall be a condition of the payment of the Merger Consideration that: (i) such Certificate is properly endorsed to such Person or is accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the record holder appears on such Certificate, and is otherwise in proper form for transfer, or is accompanied by appropriate evidence of the authority of the

Person surrendering such Certificate and signing the letter of transmittal to do so on behalf of the record holder; and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Flatbush Federal Bancorp of the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares) and canceled as provided in this Article II.

(f) Neither Northfield Bancorp nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Certificate to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent or Northfield Bancorp, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof.

(h) Northfield Bancorp or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock such amounts as Northfield Bancorp (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the IRC, or any applicable provision of U.S. Federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Northfield Bancorp or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Northfield Bancorp or the Exchange Agent.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Northfield Bancorp Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share interest, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Northfield Bancorp. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Northfield Bancorp shall pay to each former holder of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock, an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (i) the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled and (ii) the average of the daily closing sales prices of a share of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately

preceding the Closing Date. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock owned by a Flatbush Federal Bancorp shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of Northfield Bancorp Common Stock issuable to such Flatbush Federal Bancorp shareholder.

Section 2.06 Treatment of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Options.

At the Effective Time, all Flatbush Federal Bancorp Options that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled, and in lieu thereof the holders of such options shall be paid in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock subject to such option at the Effective Time and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of $6.50 over the exercise price per share of such option, net of any cash which must be withheld under federal and state income and employment tax requirements. Subject to the foregoing, the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Stock-Based Incentive Plan and all Flatbush Federal Bancorp Options issued thereunder shall terminate at the Effective Time. With respect to any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Options for which the exercise price is $6.50 or more, Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s Board of Directors shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to provide for the cancellation of all such options, whether or not vested, as of the Effective Date, without any payment made in exchange therefor.

Section 2.07 Treatment of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Restricted Stock.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding Flatbush Federal Bancorp Restricted Share subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions shall vest in full and become free of such restrictions and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each such Flatbush Federal Bancorp Restricted Shares (less any shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting, which shares shall be considered to have been delivered to the holder of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Restricted Shares) in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 2.08 Dissenters’ Rights.

Such stockholders instead shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by the HOLA and the regulations issued thereunder, except that all Dissenters’ Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their dissenters’ rights under the HOLA and the regulations issued thereunder shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to

have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.05, of the Certificate(s) that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced such shares. Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall give Northfield Bancorp (i) prompt notice of any written payment demands, attempted withdrawals of demands for payment and any other instruments served pursuant to the HOLA and the regulations issued thereunder and received by Flatbush Federal Bancorp relating to Dissenters’ Shares, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands under the HOLA and the regulations issued thereunder consistent with the obligations of Flatbush Federal Bancorp thereunder. Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall not, except with prior written consent of Northfield Bancorp, (x) make any payment with respect to such demand, (y) offer to settle or settle any demand for payment or (z) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for dissenters’ rights or timely take any other action to perfect dissenters’ rights in accordance with the HOLA and the regulations issued thereunder.

Neither Flatbush Federal Bancorp nor any Flatbush Federal Bancorp ERISA Affiliate has contributed to any “multiemployer plan,” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA. Neither Flatbush Federal Bancorp, nor any Flatbush Federal Bancorp ERISA Affiliate, nor any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan, including any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan, nor any trust created thereunder, nor any trustee or administrator thereof has engaged in a transaction in connection with which Flatbush Federal Bancorp, any Flatbush Federal Bancorp ERISA Affiliate, and any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan, including any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan or any such trust or any trustee or administrator thereof, could reasonably be expected to be subject to either a civil liability or penalty pursuant to Section 409, 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of the IRC.

Flatbush Federal Bancorp and each Flatbush Subsidiary has expensed and accrued as a liability the present value of future benefits under each applicable Flatbush Federal Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan for financial reporting purposes to the extent required by GAAP.

(e) Except as Previously Disclosed, neither Flatbush Federal Bancorp nor any Flatbush Subsidiary has any obligations to provide retiree health, life insurance, or disability insurance, or any retiree death benefits under any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan, other than benefits mandated by COBRA.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Flatbush Federal Bancorp will cause one or more of its representatives to confer with representatives of Northfield Bancorp and report the general status of its ongoing operations at such times as Northfield Bancorp may reasonably request, provided that such representatives shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Flatbush Federal Bancorp will promptly notify Northfield Bancorp of any material change in the normal course of its business or in the operation of its properties and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the institution or the threat of material litigation involving Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any Flatbush Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing, senior officers of Northfield Bancorp and Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall meet on a reasonably regular basis (expected to be at least monthly) to review the financial and operational affairs of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and its Subsidiaries, in accordance with applicable law, and Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall give due consideration to Northfield Bancorp’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither Northfield Bancorp nor any Northfield Bancorp Subsidiary shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any Flatbush Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Representatives of Flatbush Federal Savings and Northfield Bank shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of Flatbush Federal Savings’ data processing and related electronic informational systems to those used by Northfield Bank, which planning shall include, but not be limited to, discussion of the possible termination by Flatbush Federal Savings of third-party service provider arrangements effective at the Effective Time or at a date thereafter, non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by Flatbush Federal Savings in connection with its systems operations, retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion, and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services, it being understood that Flatbush Federal Savings shall not be obligated to take any such action prior to the Effective Time and no conversion shall take place prior to the Effective Time. In the event that Flatbush Federal Savings takes, at the request of Northfield Bank, any action relative to third parties to facilitate the conversion that results in the imposition of any termination fees or charges, Northfield Bank shall indemnify Flatbush Federal Savings for any such fees and charges, and the costs of reversing the conversion process, if for any reason the Mid-Tier Merger is not consummated for any reason other than a willful breach of this Agreement by Flatbush Federal Bancorp, or a termination of this Agreement under Section 10.01(g) or 10.01(h).

(c) Flatbush Federal Savings shall provide Northfield Bank, within fifteen (15) business days after the end of each calendar month, a written list of nonperforming assets (the term “nonperforming assets,” for purposes of this subsection, means (i) loans that are “troubled debt restructuring” as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, “Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors,” (ii) loans on nonaccrual, (iii) real estate owned, (iv) all loans ninety (90) days or more past due as of the end of such month, and (iv) impaired loans).

Section 5.03 Access to Properties and Records.

(a) Each of the Flatbush Parties agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Northfield, and Northfield’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized Representatives, such reasonable access during normal business hours throughout the period before the Effective Time to the books, records (including tax returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as Northfield may reasonably request and, during such period, it will furnish promptly to Northfield (1) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities or banking laws, and (2) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of it as Northfield may reasonably request. The Flatbush Parties or any of its Subsidiaries will not be required to afford access or disclose information that would violate or prejudice the rights of its customers, jeopardize attorney-client privilege or contravene any provisions of applicable law, rule or regulation or any binding agreement with any third party. The Parties will make appropriate substitute arrangements in circumstances where the previous sentence applies. Each party will hold any information that is nonpublic and confidential in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation by any party of the business and affairs of the other party, pursuant to this Section of the Agreement or otherwise, will affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to any party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall permit Northfield Bancorp, at Northfield Bancorp’s expense, to cause a “phase I environmental audit” and a “phase II environmental audit” to be performed at each Flatbush Federal Savings branch at any time prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Northfield Bancorp shall have the right to conduct a “phase II environmental audit” prior to the Closing only to the extent that a “phase II environmental audit” is within the scope of additional testing recommended by the “phase I environmental audit” to be performed as a result of a “Recognized Environmental Condition” (as such term is defined by The American Society for Testing Materials) that was discovered in the “phase I environmental audit,” and provided that as to any “phase II environmental audits” performed at a branch which Flatbush Federal Savings leases, the landlord pursuant to the applicable lease has consented to such “phase II environmental audit” if such consent is necessary pursuant to the lease. Flatbush Federal Savings will use its commercially reasonable efforts (at no cost to Flatbush Federal Savings) to obtain such landlord consent. Prior to performing any “phase II environmental audits,” Northfield Bancorp will provide Flatbush Federal Savings with a copy of its

proposed work plan and Northfield Bancorp will cooperate in good faith with Flatbush Federal Savings to address any comments or suggestions made by Flatbush Federal Savings regarding the work plan. Northfield Bancorp and its environmental consultant shall conduct all environmental assessments pursuant to this Section at mutually agreeable times and so as to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible interference with Flatbush Federal Savings’ operation of its business, and Northfield Bancorp shall maintain or cause to be maintained reasonably adequate insurance with respect to any assessment conducted hereunder. Northfield Bancorp shall be required to restore each property upon which environmental testing has been performed to substantially its pre-assessment condition. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any “phase I environmental audit” and any “phase II environmental audit,” and any restoration and clean up, shall be borne solely by Northfield Bancorp.

Section 5.04 Financial and Other Statements.

(a) Promptly upon receipt thereof, Flatbush Federal Bancorp will furnish to Northfield Bancorp copies of each annual, interim or special audit of the financial statements of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Subsidiaries made by its independent auditors and copies of all internal control reports submitted to Flatbush Federal Bancorp by such auditors in connection with each annual, interim or special audit of the financial statements of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Subsidiaries made by such auditors.

Section 5.06 Disclosure Supplements.

From time to time prior to the Effective Time, Flatbush Federal Bancorp will promptly supplement or amend the Flatbush Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Flatbush Disclosure Schedule or that is necessary to correct any information in such Flatbush Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such Flatbush Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VIII.

Section 5.10 No Solicitation.

(a) Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall not, and shall not authorize or permit the Flatbush Subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates and other agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than Northfield Bancorp) any information or data with respect to Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Flatbush Federal Bancorp is a party; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Flatbush Federal Bancorp and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal from Northfield Bancorp), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean (A) any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, any assets of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of any class of equity securities of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries; or (E) any transaction

which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a), Flatbush Federal Bancorp may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 5.10(a) if, but only if, prior to the date of the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Shareholders Meeting: (i) Flatbush Federal Bancorp has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10; (ii) the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that there is a reasonable likelihood that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal; and (iii) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Flatbush Federal Bancorp receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to Flatbush Federal Bancorp than those contained in the confidentiality agreement between Flatbush Federal Bancorp and Northfield Bancorp. Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall promptly provide to Northfield Bancorp any material, non-public information regarding Flatbush Federal Bancorp or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person that was not previously provided to Northfield Bancorp, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor: (i) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ii) would result in a transaction that involves consideration to the holders of the shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the consideration to be paid to Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing; and (iii) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including any material regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby.

(c) Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Northfield Bancorp in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any Flatbush Federal Bancorp Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers unless: (i) such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement, (ii) disclosure of such materials jeopardizes the attorney-client privilege or (iii) disclosure of such

materials contravenes any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. Flatbush Federal Bancorp agrees that it shall keep Northfield Bancorp reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).

(d) Neither the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Northfield Bancorp in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Mergers), the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation (as defined in Section 7.01), or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Shareholders Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(d), prior to the date of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Shareholders Meeting, the Board of Directors of Flatbush Federal Bancorp may approve or recommend to the shareholders of Flatbush Federal Bancorp a Superior Proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation in connection therewith (a “Flatbush Federal Bancorp Subsequent Determination”) after the third (3^rd) Business Day following Northfield Bancorp’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from Flatbush Federal Bancorp advising Northfield Bancorp that the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal in respect of any revised Superior Proposal from such third party or its affiliates that Flatbush Federal Bancorp proposes to accept and the subsequent notice period shall be two (2) business days) if, but only if, (i) the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s shareholders under applicable law, and (ii) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period or the two (2) Business Day Period (as the case may be), after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been committed to in writing by Northfield Bancorp since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal (provided, however, that Northfield Bancorp shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 5.10(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall prohibit Flatbush Federal Bancorp or the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board from complying with Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s obligations required under Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation unless the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Board reaffirms the Flatbush Federal Bancorp Recommendation in such disclosure.

Section 5.11 Reserves and Merger-Related Costs.

Flatbush Federal Bancorp agrees to consult with Northfield Bancorp with respect to its loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves). Northfield Bancorp and Flatbush Federal Bancorp shall also consult with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and shall take such charges as Northfield Bancorp shall reasonably request and which are not inconsistent with GAAP, provided that no such actions need be effected until Northfield Bancorp shall have irrevocably certified to Flatbush Federal Bancorp that all conditions set forth in Article VIII to the obligation of Northfield Bancorp to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the delivery of certificates or opinions) have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived.

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties will each take such steps as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to cause any disposition of shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock or conversion of any derivative securities in respect of shares of Flatbush Federal Bancorp Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 Board of Directors Meetings.

Flatbush Federal Bancorp and Flatbush Federal Savings shall permit a representative of Northfield Bancorp to attend in person any meetings of the Board of Directors of Flatbush Federal Bancorp and/or Flatbush Federal Savings as an observer, subject to the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that neither Flatbush Federal Bancorp nor Flatbush Federal Savings shall be required to permit the Northfield Bancorp representative to remain present during any confidential discussion of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any third party proposal to acquire control of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or Flatbush Federal Savings or during any other matter that the respective Board of Directors has reasonably determined to be confidential with respect to Northfield Bancorp’s participation.

Employees of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any Flatbush Subsidiary who become participants in any Northfield Bancorp Compensation and Benefit Plan shall, for purposes of determining eligibility for and for any applicable vesting periods of such employee benefits only (and not for benefit accrual purposes unless specifically set forth herein) be given credit for service as an employee of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any Flatbush Subsidiary or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Time, and provided further, that credit for benefit accrual purposes will be given only for purposes of Northfield Bancorp vacation policies or programs and for purposes of the calculation of severance benefits under any severance compensation plan of Northfield Bancorp. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of Northfield Bancorp or Northfield Bank to terminate the employment of any employee or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any program) as they deem appropriate.

(b) Northfield Bancorp shall honor the terms of all employment, consulting and change in control agreements, if any, Previously Disclosed by Flatbush Federal Bancorp. Flatbush Federal Bancorp has Previously Disclosed the payments and benefits that would be required to be made/provided under the Flatbush Employment Agreements.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to grant a contract of employment to any employee of Flatbush who becomes an employee of Northfield Bancorp or Northfield Bank. Any employee of Flatbush Federal Savings, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of employment, whose employment is terminated involuntarily (other than for cause) within one year following the Bank Merger Effective Date shall receive a lump sum severance payment from Northfield Bank equal to two weeks pay at the rate then in effect, for each full year of employment with Flatbush Federal Savings, subject to a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks, provided that such employee enters into a release of claims against Flatbush Federal Savings and Northfield Bank, their Subsidiaries and affiliates in a form satisfactory to Northfield Bank. Such Flatbush Federal Savings employees will have the right to continued health coverage under group health plans of Northfield Bank in accordance with IRC Section 4980B(f) and ERISA Sections 601-609.

(d) In the event of any termination or consolidation of any Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plan with any Northfield Bancorp health plan, Northfield Bancorp shall make available to those employees of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or any of the Flatbush Subsidiaries who become employees of Northfield Bancorp or any of the Northfield Subsidiaries following the Mergers (“Continuing Employees”) and their dependents employer-provided health coverage on the same basis as it provides such coverage to Northfield Bancorp employees. Unless a Continuing Employee affirmatively terminates coverage under a Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plan before the time that such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Northfield Bancorp health plan, no coverage of any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plans before the time such Continuing Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of Northfield Bancorp and their dependents. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plan, terminated Flatbush Federal Bancorp employees and qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of Northfield Bancorp in accordance with COBRA, consistent with the provisions below. All Flatbush Federal Bancorp employees who cease participating in a Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plan and become participants in a comparable Northfield Bancorp

health plan (each a “Former Flatbush Federal Bancorp Health Plan Participant”) shall receive credit for any co-payment and deductibles paid under Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s health plan for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Northfield Bancorp health plan, upon substantiation, in a form satisfactory to Northfield Bancorp that such co-payment and/or deductible has been satisfied. With respect to any Former Flatbush Federal Bancorp Health Plan Participant, any coverage limitation under the Northfield Bancorp health plan due to any pre-existing condition shall be waived by the Northfield Bancorp health plan to the degree that such condition was covered by the Flatbush Federal Bancorp health plan and such condition would otherwise have been covered by the Northfield Bancorp health plan in the absence of such coverage limitation.

Section 6.08 Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Northfield Bancorp shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or a Flatbush Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Flatbush Federal Bancorp or a Flatbush Subsidiary if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Mid-Tier Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by Flatbush Federal Bancorp under the applicable Regulations and under Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s Charter and Bylaws. Northfield Bancorp shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by Flatbush Federal Bancorp under applicable Regulations and under Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s Charter and Bylaws, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if he shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification in the manner set forth below. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.08 upon learning of any Claim, shall notify Northfield Bancorp (but the failure to so notify Northfield Bancorp shall not relieve Northfield Bancorp from any liability which it may have under this Section 6.08, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Northfield Bancorp) and shall deliver to Northfield Bancorp the undertaking referred to in the previous sentence. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Northfield Bancorp or an insurance carrier pursuant to Section 6.08(c) below shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Northfield Bancorp shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Northfield Bancorp elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Northfield Bancorp and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to Northfield Bancorp, unless the Indemnified Party is provided with counsel by an insurance carrier pursuant to Section 6.08(c) below, and Northfield Bancorp shall pay, promptly as statements therefore are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction), (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) Northfield Bancorp shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (iv) Northfield Bancorp shall have no obligation hereunder to the extent that a Federal or state banking agency or a court of competent

jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

(b) If either Northfield Bancorp or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving bank or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Northfield Bancorp shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08.

(c) Northfield Bancorp shall use its best efforts to maintain, or shall cause Northfield Bank to maintain, in effect for six years following the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the officers and directors of Flatbush Federal Bancorp (provided, that Northfield Bancorp may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall Northfield Bancorp be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.08(c) an amount that in the aggregate is more than 200% of the annual premiums (the “Maximum Amount”) currently paid by Flatbush Federal Bancorp for such insurance and, if Northfield Bancorp is unable to maintain such policy as a result of this proviso, Northfield Bancorp shall obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for such Maximum Amount; provided further, that Northfield Bancorp may (i) request Flatbush Federal Bancorp obtain an extended reporting period endorsement under Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or (ii) substitute therefor “tail” policies the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such person’s than Flatbush Federal Bancorp’s existing insurance policies as of the date hereof. In connection with the foregoing, Flatbush Federal Bancorp agrees in order for Northfield Bancorp to fulfill its agreement to provide directors and officers liability insurance policies for six years to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such reasonable and customary representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims.

(d) The obligations of Northfield Bancorp provided under this Section 6.08 are intended to be enforceable against Northfield Bancorp directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of Northfield Bancorp.

The annual compensation of the advisory board has been Previously Disclosed by Northfield Bancorp.
