      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of _________ ___, 2005, between Prudential

                                   WITNESSETH

      WHEREAS, the Executive is presently an officer of the Bank;

      WHEREAS, the Employer desires to be ensured of the Executive's continued
active participation in the business of the Employer; and

      WHEREAS, in order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Employer and in consideration of the Executive's agreeing to remain in the
employ of the Employer, the parties desire to specify the severance benefits
which shall be due the Executive in the event that his employment with the
Employer is terminated under specified circumstances.

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

      1.    DEFINITIONS. The following words and terms shall have the meanings
set forth below for the purposes of this Agreement:

      (a)   AVERAGE ANNUAL COMPENSATION. The Executive's "Average Annual
Compensation" for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the average
amount of Base Salary and cash bonus received by the Executive from the Employer
or any subsidiary thereof (excluding any deferred amounts) during the most
recent five calendar years preceding the Date of Termination (or such shorter
period as the Executive was employed).

      (b)   BASE SALARY. "Base Salary" shall have the meaning set forth in
Section 3(a) hereof.

      (c)   CAUSE. Termination of the Executive's employment for "Cause" shall
mean termination because of personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional
failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or
regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final
cease-and-desist order, willful conduct which is materially detrimental
(monetarily or otherwise) to the Employer or material breach of any provision of
this Agreement.

      (d)   CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE CORPORATION. "Change in Control of the
Corporation" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following: (i) an event
that would be required to be reported by, or with respect to, the Corporation in

pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

<PAGE>

("Exchange Act"), or any successor thereto, whether or not any class of
securities of the Corporation is registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act)

Corporation representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation's then outstanding securities; or (iii) during any period of three
consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Board of Directors of the Corporation cease for any reason to constitute at
least a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by
stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the
period; provided, however, that no Change in Control of the Corporation shall be
deemed to have occurred solely because the MHC undertakes a "second-step" mutual

amended.

      (f)   CORPORATION. "Corporation" shall mean Prudential Bancorp, Inc. of

employment based on "Disability" shall mean termination because of any physical
or mental impairment which qualifies the Executive for disability benefits under

                  Financial Officer of the Employer or a material adverse change
                  made by the Employer in the Executive's functions, duties or
                  responsibilities as Executive Vice President and Chief
                  Financial Officer of the Employer;

            (ii)  Without the Executive's express written consent, a reduction

reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated,

President and Chief Financial Officer and the Executive hereby accepts said
employment and agrees to render such services to the Employer on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the terms hereof, this
Agreement shall terminate two (2) years after the date first above written.
Beginning on the day which is one year subsequent to the date first above
written, and on each annual anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement
shall be extended for a period of one additional year provided that the Employer
has not given notice to the Executive in writing at least

                                        3

<PAGE>

30 days prior to such day that the term of this Agreement shall not be extended
further and/or the Executive has not given notice to the Employer of his
election not to extend the term at least thirty (30) days prior to any such
anniversary date. If any party gives timely notice that the term will not be
extended as of any such annual anniversary date, then this Agreement shall
terminate at the conclusion of its remaining term. References herein to the term
of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial term and successive terms.

      (b)   During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall perform such
executive services for the Employer as is consistent with his title of Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and from time to time assigned to him
by the Employer's Board of Directors.

      3.    COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS.

      (a)   The Employer shall compensate and pay the Executive for his services
during the term of this Agreement at a minimum base salary of $______ per year
("Base Salary"), which may be increased from time to time in such amounts as may
be determined by the Board of Directors of the Employer and may not be decreased

the Executive shall be entitled to receive during the term of this Agreement
such bonus payments as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Employer.

      (b)   During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled

benefit plan, profit sharing, stock option, restricted stock, employee stock
ownership, or other plans, benefits and privileges given to employees and
executives of the Employer, to the extent commensurate with his then duties and
responsibilities, as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Employer. The
Employer shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which
would adversely affect the Executive's rights or benefits thereunder, unless
such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of
the Employer and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in
the rights of or benefits to the Executive as compared with any other executive
officer of the Employer. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or
arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed
to be in lieu of the salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(a)
hereof.

      (c)   During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled
to paid annual vacation in accordance with the policies as established from time
to time by the Board of Directors of the Employer. The Executive shall not be
entitled to receive any additional compensation from the Employer for failure to
take a vacation, nor shall the Executive be able to accumulate unused vacation
time from one year to the next, except to the extent authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Employer.

      4.    EXPENSES. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive or otherwise
provide for or pay for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in

reasonable documentation and other limitations as may be established by the
Board of Directors of the Employer. If such expenses are paid in the first
instance by the Executive, the Employer shall reimburse the Executive therefor.

      COST TO THE EXECUTIVE,] the Executive's continued participation in all
      group insurance, life insurance, health and accident, disability and other
      employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which the Executive
      was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination
      (other than stock option and restricted stock plans of the Employer or the
      Corporation), provided that in the event that the Executive's
      participation in any plan, program or arrangement as provided in this
      subparagraph (B) is barred or during such period any such plan, program or
      arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder materially reduced,
      the Employer shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits

      (e)   In the event that (i) the Executive's employment is terminated
concurrently with or subsequent to a Change in Control of the Corporation for
other than Cause, Disability, Retirement or the Executive's death or (ii) the
Executive elects to terminate his employment for Good Reason, then the Employer

      the Executive's full-time employment by another employer (provided that
      the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits
      substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (B)), [AT NO
      COST TO THE EXECUTIVE,] the Executive's continued participation in all
      group insurance, life insurance, health and accident, disability and other
      employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements in which the Executive
      was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination
      (other than stock option and restricted stock plans of the Employer),
      provided that in the event that the Executive's participation in any plan,
      program or arrangement as provided in this subparagraph (B) is barred or
      during such period any such plan, program or arrangement is discontinued
      or the benefits thereunder are materially reduced, the Employer shall
      arrange to provide the Executive with benefits substantially similar to
      those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such plans,
      programs and arrangements immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

      6.    LIMITATION OF BENEFITS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. If the payments
and benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, either alone or together with other
payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the
Employer, would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code,
the payments and benefits payable by the Employer pursuant to Section 5 hereof
shall be reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive, by the amount, if
any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and
benefits under Section 5 being non-deductible to the Employer pursuant to
Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section
4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in the payments and
benefits to be made pursuant to Section 5 shall be based upon the opinion of
independent tax counsel selected by the Employer and paid by the Employer. Such
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employer and the Executive; shall
promptly prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty (30)
days from the Date of Termination; and may use such actuaries as such counsel
deems necessary or advisable for the purpose. Nothing contained herein shall
result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be
entitled upon termination of employment under any circumstances other than as
specified in this Section 6, or a reduction in the payments and benefits
specified in Section 5 below zero.

                                        6

      7.    MITIGATION; EXCLUSIVITY OF BENEFITS.

      (a)   The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Sections 5(d)(B)(ii) and
5(e)(B)(ii) hereof.

      (b)   The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to
exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a
termination of employment with the Employer pursuant to employee benefit plans
of the Employer or otherwise.

      8.    WITHHOLDING. All payments required to be made by the Employer
hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts,
if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Employer may
reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

      9.    ASSIGNABILITY. The Employer may assign this Agreement and its rights
and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or
other entity with or into which the Employer may hereafter merge or consolidate
or to which the Employer may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if
in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of
law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Employer hereunder as
fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise
assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may
not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

require the Employer to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which
