IV.        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF COMPANY.


 


Company hereby represents and warrants
to each Purchaser as follows:


 


A.           Organization
and Authority.


 


1.           Organization
Matters of Company and Its Subsidiaries.


 


		a)	Company is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has
all requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business and activities as presently conducted, to own its properties,
and to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact
business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership
or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended.



 


		b)	Each Subsidiary other than the Bank either has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation or limited liability company, or, in the case of the Bank, has been duly chartered and is validly existing as a Massachusetts
chartered cooperative bank, in each case in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has corporate
power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of
the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests
in each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Company, directly
or through Subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim; none of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, any Subsidiary were issued in violation of the preemptive or similar
rights of any securityholder of such Subsidiary or any other entity.



 


		c)	The deposit accounts of Bank are insured by the FDIC up to applicable limits. Neither Company nor
Bank has received any notice or other information indicating that Bank is not an “insured depository institution” as
defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1813, nor has any event occurred which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status
of Bank as an FDIC-insured institution.



 




    8 


    	 



    

 


2.           Capital
Stock and Related Matters. All of the outstanding capital stock of Company has been duly authorized and validly issued
and is fully paid and nonassessable. There are, as of the date hereof, no outstanding options, rights, warrants or other agreements
or instruments obligating Company to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of the
capital stock of Company or obligating Company to grant, extend or enter into any such agreement or commitment to any Person other
than Company except (i) as described in Company’s SEC Reports or (ii) pursuant to employment arrangements, agreements or
understanding or Company’s equity incentive plans duly adopted by Company’s Board of Directors.

reflected in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.


 


B.           No Impediment
to Transactions.


 


1.           Transaction
is Legal and Authorized. The issuance of the Subordinated Notes, the borrowing of the aggregate of the Subordinated Note
Amounts, the execution of the Transaction Documents and compliance by Company with all of the provisions of the Transaction Documents
are within the corporate and other powers of Company.


 


2.           Agreement.
The Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
other parties thereto, are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except
as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.


 


3.           Subordinated
Notes. The Subordinated Notes have been duly authorized by Company and when executed by Company and issued, delivered to
and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued
and delivered and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Company, and enforceable in accordance with their terms,
except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating
to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.


 




    9 


    	 



    

 


4.           No
Defaults or Restrictions. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents nor compliance with their respective
terms and conditions will (whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both) (i) violate, conflict with or
result in a breach of, or constitute a default under: (1) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Company; (2) any of the terms,
obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or of any contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, pledge, bank loan or credit agreement, or any other agreement or instrument to which Company or Bank, as applicable,
is now a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or affected; (3) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree
or demand of any court, arbitrator, grand jury, or Governmental Agency applicable to Company or Bank; or (4) any statute, rule
or regulation applicable to Company, except, in the case of items (2), (3) or (4), for such violations, conflicts, breaches or
defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever upon any property or asset of Company or any subsidiary. Neither Company nor Bank is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any Material Contract
creating, evidencing or securing Indebtedness of any kind or pursuant to which any such Indebtedness is issued, or any other Material
Contract, except for in each case, only such defaults that would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect on Company.


 


5.           Governmental
Consent. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained by Company
that have not been obtained, and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by Company that have not been filed
in connection with, or, in contemplation of, the execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Transaction Documents, except
for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or state securities laws or “blue sky”
laws of the various states and any applicable federal or state banking laws and regulations.


 


C.           Possession
of Licenses and Permits. Company and its Subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations
(collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate Governmental Agencies necessary to conduct
the business now operated by it except where the failure to possess such Governmental Licenses would not, singularly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Company or such applicable Subsidiary; Company and each Subsidiary of Company is in
compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on Company or such applicable Subsidiary of Company; all of the Governmental
Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such
Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Company or such applicable Subsidiary
of Company; and neither Company nor any Subsidiary of Company has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation
or modification of any such Governmental Licenses.


 




    10 


    	 



    

 


D.           Financial
Condition.


 


		1.	Company Financial Statements. The financial statements of Company included in Company’s
SEC Reports (including the related notes, where applicable) (i) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books
and records of Company; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the results of operations, cash flows, changes in stockholders’
equity and financial position of Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective
dates therein set forth (subject in the case of unaudited statements to recurring year-end audit adjustments normal in nature and
amount), as applicable; (iii) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing in all material respects with applicable
accounting and banking requirements as applicable, with respect thereto; and (iv) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as indicated in such statements or in the notes thereto and Regulation
S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. The books and records of Company have been, and are being, maintained in all material
respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. Company does not have any material
liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except
for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of Company contained in Company’s
SEC Reports for Company’s most recently completed quarterly or annual fiscal period, as applicable, and for liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.



 


		2.	Absence of Default. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included
in Company’s SEC Reports, no event has occurred which either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice
or both, would give any creditor of Company the right to accelerate the maturity of any material Indebtedness of Company. Company
is not in default under any other Lease, agreement or instrument, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree,
determination or award, non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Company.



 


		3.	Solvency. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, Company has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and is solvent and able to pay its
debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no Indebtedness is being incurred in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Company or any
Subsidiary of Company.



 




    11 


    	 



    

 


		4.	Ownership of Property. Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable
title as to all real property owned by it and good title to all assets and properties owned by Company and such Subsidiary in the
conduct of its businesses, whether such assets and properties are real or personal, tangible or intangible, including assets and
property reflected in the most recent balance sheet contained in Company’s SEC Reports or acquired subsequent thereto (except
to the extent that such assets and properties have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business, since the date of such
balance sheet), subject to no encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests or pledges, except (i) those items which secure
liabilities for public or statutory obligations or any discount with, borrowing from or other obligations to the Federal Home Loan
Bank, inter-bank credit facilities, reverse repurchase agreements or any transaction by Bank acting in a fiduciary capacity, (ii)
statutory liens for amounts not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith and (iii) such as do not, singly or in
the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be
made of such property by Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as lessee, has the right under
valid and existing leases of real and personal properties that are material to Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in the
conduct of its business to occupy or use all such properties as presently occupied and used by it. Such existing leases and commitments
to lease constitute or will constitute operating leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes and the lease expense and
minimum rental commitments with respect to such leases and lease commitments are as disclosed in all material respects in Company’s
SEC Reports.



 


E.          No Material
Adverse Change. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in Company’s SEC Reports, there
has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company or
any of its Subsidiaries.


 


F.          Legal Matters.


 


		1.	Compliance with Law. Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has complied with and
(ii) is not under investigation with respect to, and, to Company’s knowledge, have not been threatened to be charged with
or given any notice of any material violation of any applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic
or foreign government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of its business or the ownership
of its properties, except where any such failure to comply or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Company or any of its Subsidiaries.



 




    12 


    	 



    

 


		2.	Regulatory Enforcement Actions. Company, Bank and its other Subsidiaries are in compliance
with all laws administered by and regulations of any Governmental Agency applicable to it or to them, except where the failure
to so comply would have a Material Adverse Effect. None of Company, Bank, Company’s Subsidiaries nor any of their officers
or directors is now operating under any restrictions, agreements, memoranda, or commitments (other than restrictions of general
application) imposed by any Governmental Agency, nor are, to Company’s knowledge, (a) any such restrictions threatened or
(b) any agreements, memoranda or commitments being sought by any Governmental Agency.



 


		3.	Pending Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or written agreements
pending, or, to Company’s knowledge, threatened or proposed, against Company, Bank, or any of its other Subsidiaries at law
or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, or other administrative
agency, domestic or foreign, that, either separately or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Company and any of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or affect issuance or payment of the Subordinated Notes; and neither
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, or decree
of, or any written agreement with, any court, commission, board or agency, domestic or foreign, that either separately or in the
aggregate, will have a Material Adverse Effect on Company and any of its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.



 


		4.	Environmental. No Property is or, to Company’s knowledge, has been a site for
the use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence
of any Hazardous Materials and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in such activities. There are no claims
or actions pending or, to Company’s knowledge, threatened against Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental
Agency or by any other Person relating to any Hazardous Materials or pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Law.



 


		5.	Brokerage Commissions. Except for commissions paid to the Placement Agent, neither
Company nor any Affiliate of Company is obligated to pay any brokerage commission or finder’s fee to any Person in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.



 


		6.	Investment Company Act. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.



 


G.           No Misstatement.
No information, exhibit, report, schedule or document, when viewed together as a whole, furnished by Company to Purchasers in connection
with the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.


 




    13 


    	 



    

 


H.           Reporting
Compliance. Company is subject to, and is in compliance in all material respects with, the reporting requirements of Section
13 and Section 15(d), as applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and the regulations of the
SEC thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). Company’s SEC Reports at the time they were or hereafter
are filed with the SEC, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and did not and do not include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.


 


I.           Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting. Company and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial
reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have
been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, a system of accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances 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 accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since the end of Company’s most recent audited
fiscal year, (y) Company has no knowledge of (i) any material weakness in Company’s internal control over financial reporting
(whether or not remediated) or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in Company’s internal controls and (z) there has been no change in Company’s internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.


 


J.           Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. Company and its Subsidiaries maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act), that (i) are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information relating to Company and its
Subsidiaries is made known to Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within Company
and its Subsidiaries to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, and (ii) are effective in all material respects to perform
the functions for which they were established. As of the date hereof, Company has no knowledge that would reasonably cause it to
believe that the evaluation to be conducted of the effectiveness of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for the
most recently ended fiscal quarter period will result in a finding that such disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective
for such quarter ended. Based on the evaluation of Company’s and each Subsidiary’s disclosure controls and procedures
described above, Company is not aware of (1) any significant deficiency in the design or operation of internal controls which could
adversely affect Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any material weaknesses in
internal controls or (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in Company’s internal controls. Since the most recent evaluation of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
described above, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
internal controls.

K.           No Registration.
No person has the right to require Company or any of its Subsidiaries to register any securities for sale under the Securities
Act by reason of the issuance and sale of the Subordinated Notes to be sold by Company hereunder.


 


L.           Representations
and Warranties Generally. The representations and warranties of Company set forth in this Agreement are true and correct
as of the date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and as otherwise specifically provided herein. Any certificate
signed by an officer of Company and delivered to the Purchasers or to counsel for Purchasers shall be deemed to be a representation
and warranty by Company to the Purchasers as to the matters set forth therein.


 


V.           GENERAL COVENANTS, CONDITIONS
AND AGREEMENTS


 


Company hereby further
covenants and agrees with each Purchaser as follows:

agreements and obligations under the Transaction Documents.


 


B.           Compliance
with Laws.


 


1.           Generally.
Company shall comply and cause Bank and each other Subsidiary to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders
and restrictions in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its properties, except, in each case, where such
noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company.


 


2.           Regulated
Activities. Company shall not itself, nor shall it cause, permit or allow Bank or any other Subsidiary to (i) engage in
any business or activity not permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, except where such business or activity would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Company, Bank and/or such Subsidiary or (ii) make any loan or advance
secured by the capital stock of another bank or depository institution, or acquire the capital stock, assets or obligations of
or any interest in another bank or depository institution, in each case other than in accordance with applicable laws and regulations
and safe and sound banking practices.


 


3.           Taxes.
Company shall and shall cause Bank and any other Subsidiary to promptly pay and discharge all material taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges imposed upon Company, Bank or any other Subsidiary or upon the income, profits, or property of Company or
any Subsidiary and all claims for labor, material or supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien or charge upon the property
of Company, Bank or any other Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Company, Bank or any other Subsidiary shall be
required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or claim, so long as the validity thereof shall be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, and appropriate reserves therefor shall be maintained on the books of Company, Bank and such other Subsidiary.


 




    15 


    	 



    

 


4.           Dividends,
Payments, and Guarantees During Event of Default. During the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined under the Subordinated
Notes) and except as required by any federal or state Governmental Agency, Company agrees not to (a) declare or pay any dividends
on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock; (b) make any payment
of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or repay, repurchase or redeem any of Company’s debt that ranks equal
with or junior to the Subordinated Notes; or (c) make any payments under any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated
Notes, other than (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase
shares of, any class of Company’s common stock; (ii) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation
of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase
of any such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result of a reclassification of Company’s capital stock or the exchange or
conversion of one class or series of Company’s capital stock for another class or series of Company’s capital stock;
(iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions
of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of Company’s common stock
related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any benefit plans for Company’s directors, officers or employees
or any of Company’s dividend reinvestment plans.


 


5.           Tier
2 Capital. If all or any portion of the Subordinated Notes ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital, other than due to
the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five (5) years immediately preceding the Maturity
Date of the Subordinated Notes, Company will immediately notify the Purchasers, and thereafter Company and the Purchasers will
work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure the applicable
portions of the obligations evidenced by the Subordinated Notes to qualify as Tier 2 Capital; provided, however, that nothing contained
in this Agreement shall limit Company’s right to redeem the Subordinated Notes upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event
as described in the Subordinated Notes.


 


D.           Absence
of Control. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that in no event shall Purchasers, by reason of any of the
Transaction Documents, be deemed to control, directly or indirectly, Company, and Purchasers shall not exercise, or be deemed to
exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of Company.


 




    16 


    	 



    

 


E.           Secondary
Market Transactions. Each Purchaser shall have the right at any time and from time to time to securitize its Subordinated
Notes or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization of rated single or multi-class securities
secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Subordinated Notes (each such securitization is referred to herein as a “Secondary
Market Transaction”). In connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction, Company shall, at Company’s expense,
cooperate with Purchasers and otherwise reasonably assist Purchasers in satisfying the market standards to which Purchasers customarily
adhere or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by applicable rating agencies in connection with any such Secondary
Market Transaction. Subject to any written confidentiality obligation, all information regarding Company may be furnished, without
liability except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, to any Purchaser and to any Person reasonably deemed necessary
by Purchaser in connection with participation in such Secondary Market Transaction. All documents, financial statements, appraisals
and other data relevant to Company or the Subordinated Notes may be retained by any such Person.


 


F.           Bloomberg.
Within 30 days after Closing, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subordinated Notes to be identified
on Bloomberg.

to Company.


 


VIII.     MISCELLANEOUS.


 


A.           Prohibition
on Assignment by Company. Except as described in Section 8 (Merger and Sale of Assets) of the Subordinated Notes, Company
may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights under this Agreement or the Subordinated Notes without the prior written
consent of Purchasers. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Notes, any transfer of such Subordinated Notes
must be made in accordance with the Assignment Form attached thereto and the requirements and restrictions thereof.


 


B.           Time of
the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.


 


C.           Waiver
or Amendment. No waiver or amendment of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein or in the Subordinated
Notes shall be effective except with the consent of the holders of not less than more than fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal
amount (excluding any Subordinated Notes held by Company or any of its Affiliates) of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding;
provided, however, that without the consent of each holder of an affected Subordinated Note, no such amendment or
waiver may: (i) reduce the principal amount of the Subordinated Note; (ii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
interest on any Subordinated Note; (iii) extend the maturity of any Subordinated Note; (iv) change the currency in which payment
of the obligations of Company under this Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are to be made; (v) lower the percentage of aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Subordinated Notes required to approve any amendment of this Agreement or the Subordinated Notes;
(vi) make any changes to Section 6 (Failure to Make Payments) of the Subordinated Notes that adversely affects the rights of any
holder of a Subordinated Note; or (vii) disproportionately affect the rights of any of the holders of the then outstanding Subordinated
Notes under this Agreement and the Subordinated Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may amend or supplement the Subordinated
Notes without the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to provide
for uncertificated Subordinated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Subordinated Notes, or to make any change that
does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of any of the Subordinated Notes. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising,
by a Purchaser or any holder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the
exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not
exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Company in any case shall, in itself, entitle
Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Purchasers to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied,
by the Purchasers to or of any breach or default by Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or
construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations
of Company hereunder. Failure on the part of the Purchasers to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of
Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Purchasers of their rights hereunder
or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by Company.

D.           Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely
affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms
and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though
any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions
of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the
remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall
have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

J.           Choice
of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without
giving effect to its laws or principles of conflict of laws. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges
which a Purchaser may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule, regulation or order of any department

THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THIS SUBORDINATED
NOTE IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (THE “FDIC”) OR ANY OTHER
GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR FUND.


 


6.00% FIXED TO FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED
NOTE DUE 2025


 


1.          Subordinated
Notes. This Subordinated Note is one of an issue of notes of Wellesley Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”)
designated as the “6.00% Fixed to Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2025” (the “Subordinated Notes”).


 


2.          Payment.
Company, for value received, promises to pay to              ,       or        its registered assigns, the principal sum of             Dollars (U.S.) ($            ),
plus accrued but unpaid interest on December 30, 2025 (“Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon (i)
from and including the original issue date of the Subordinated Notes to but excluding December 30, 2020 or the earlier
redemption date contemplated by Section 4(a) of this Subordinated Note, at the rate of 6.00% per annum, computed on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December
30 of each year (each, a “Fixed Interest Payment Date”), beginning June 30, 2016, and (ii) from and
including December 30, 2020 to but excluding the Maturity Date or the earlier redemption date contemplated by Section
4(b) of this Subordinated Note, at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR determined on the determination
date of the applicable Interest Period plus 435.5 basis points, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number
of days elapsed and payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year (each, a
“Floating Interest Payment Date”). An “Interest Payment Date” is either a Fixed Interest
Payment Date or a Floating Interest Payment Date, as applicable. “LIBOR” means the 3-month USD LIBOR, which will
be the offered rate for 3-month deposits in U.S. dollars, as that rate appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any
successor page thereto) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, as observed two London banking days prior to the first day of the
applicable floating rate interest period. If 3-month USD LIBOR is not displayed as of such time with respect to any
applicable floating rate interest period, then LIBOR will be LIBOR in effect for the floating rate interest period preceding
the floating interest period for which LIBOR is to be determined, or, with respect to the first floating rate interest
period, the most recent possible prior date. A London banking day is a day on which commercial banks and foreign currency
markets settle payments and are open for general business in London. Any payment of principal of or interest on this
Subordinated Note that would otherwise become due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day shall become due and
payable on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for payment of such
principal or interest, and no interest will accrue in respect of such payment for the period after such day. The term
“Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banks in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to be closed.

3.          Subordination.
The indebtedness of Company evidenced by this Subordinated Note, including the principal and interest on this Subordinated Note,
shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing claims of creditors and depositors
of Company, whether now outstanding or subsequently created, assumed, guaranteed or incurred (collectively, “Senior Indebtedness”),
which shall consist of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on: (a) all indebtedness and obligations of, or
guaranteed or assumed by, Company for money borrowed, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, securities, notes or other
similar instruments, and including, but not limited to, deposits of Company, and all obligations to Company’s general and
secured creditors; (b) any deferred obligations of Company for the payment of the purchase
price of property, goods, materials, assets or services purchased or acquired (other than such obligations to trade creditors incurred
by Company in the ordinary course of business); (c) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of Company in respect of any
letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, security purchase facilities and similar direct credit substitutes; (d) any capital
lease obligations of Company; (e) all obligations of Company in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements, interest
rate future or option contracts, currency swap agreements, currency future or option contracts, commodity contracts and other similar
arrangements or derivative products; (f) any obligation of Company to its general creditors,
as defined for purposes of the capital adequacy regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal
Reserve”) applicable to Company, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time; (g) all obligations that are similar
to those in clauses (a) through (f) of other persons for the payment of which Company is responsible or liable as obligor,
guarantor or otherwise; and (h) all obligations of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (g) of other persons secured by
a lien on any property or asset of Company; and (i) in the case of (a) through (h) above, all amendments, renewals, extensions,
modifications and refunding’s of such indebtedness and obligations; except “Senior Indebtedness” does
not include (i) the Subordinated Notes, (ii) any obligation that by its terms expressly is junior to, or ranks equally in right
of payment with, the Subordinated Notes, or (iii) any indebtedness between Company and any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. This
Subordinated Note is not secured by any assets of Company.


 


In
the event of liquidation of Company, all holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to be paid in full with such interest
as may be provided by law before any payment shall be made on account of principal of or interest on this Subordinated Note. Additionally,
in the event of any insolvency, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any liquidation or winding up of or relating
to Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment
shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Notes, including this Subordinated Note. In the event
of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, the registered holders
of the Subordinated Notes from time to time (each a “Noteholder” and, collectively, the “Noteholders”),
together with the holders of any obligations of Company ranking on a parity with the Subordinated Notes, shall be entitled to be
paid from the remaining assets of Company the unpaid principal thereof, and the unpaid interest thereon before any payment or other
distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock.


 




    A-1-4 


     


    

 


If
there shall have occurred and be continuing (a) a default in any payment with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or (b) an event
of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness as a result of which the maturity thereof is accelerated, unless and until such
payment default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payments shall be made by
Company with respect to the Subordinated Notes. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect to
which the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 3 would be applicable.


 


Nothing
herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede Company from issuing additional debt of Company having the same rank as the Subordinated
Notes or which may be junior or senior in rank to the Subordinated Notes. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees to
and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, further acknowledges
and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration for each
holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the
Subordinated Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and such holder of Senior
Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold or
in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness.


 


4.             Redemption.


 


(a)          Redemption
Prior to Fifth Anniversary. This Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable by Company in whole or in part prior to the fifth
anniversary of the date upon which this Subordinated Note was originally issued (the “Issue Date”), except in
the event: (i) this Subordinated Note no longer qualifies as “Tier 2” Capital (as defined by the Federal
Reserve) as a result of a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any judicial, legislative or regulatory
authority that becomes effective after the date of issuance of this Subordinated Note (“Tier 2 Capital Event”);
(ii) of a Tax Event (as defined below); or (iii) Company becomes required to register as an investment company pursuant to
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (and “Investment Company Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Tier
2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event, subject to Section 4(f), Company may redeem this Subordinated Note
in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon giving not less than 10 days’ notice to the holder of this Subordinated
Note at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the redemption date. “Tax Event” means the receipt by Company of an opinion of counsel to Company that as a
result of any amendment to, or change (including any final and adopted (or enacted) prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations
thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any official
administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, there exists a material risk
that interest payable by Company on the Subordinated Notes is not, or within 120 days after the receipt of such opinion will not
be, deductible by Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes.


 


(b)          Redemption
on or after Fifth Anniversary. On or after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, subject to Section 4(f), this Subordinated
Note shall be redeemable at the option of and by Company, in whole at any time or in part upon any Interest Payment Date, at an
amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the
redemption date, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000.


 




    A-1-5 


     


    

 


(c)          Partial
Redemption. If less than the then outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note is redeemed, (i) a new Subordinated
Note shall be issued representing the unredeemed portion without charge to the holder thereof and (ii) such redemption shall be
effected on a pro rata basis as to the Noteholders. For purposes of clarity, upon a partial redemption, a like percentage of the
principal amount of every Subordinated Note held by every Noteholder shall be redeemed.


 


(d)          No
Redemption at Option of Noteholder. This Subordinated Note is not subject to redemption at the option of the holder of this
Subordinated Note.


 


(e)          Effectiveness
of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and notwithstanding that this Subordinated Note has been called
for redemption but has not yet been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the date fixed for redemption interest shall cease
to accrue on this Subordinated Note, this Subordinated Note shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to
this Subordinated Note shall forthwith on such date fixed for redemption cease and terminate unless Company shall default in the
payment of the redemption price, except only the right of the holder hereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without
interest.


 


(f)          Regulatory
Approvals. Any such redemption shall be subject to receipt of any and all required federal and state regulatory approvals,
including, but not limited to, the consent of the Federal Reserve. In the case of any redemption of this Subordinated Note pursuant
to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 4, Company will give the holder hereof notice of redemption, which notice shall
indicate the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes to be redeemed, not less than 30 nor more than 45 calendar days prior
to the redemption date.


 


(g)         Purchase
and Resale of the Subordinated Notes. Subject to any required federal and state regulatory approvals and the provisions of
this Subordinated Note, Company shall have the right to purchase any of the Subordinated Notes at any time in the open market,
through private transactions or otherwise. If Company purchases any Subordinated Notes, it may, in its discretion, hold, resell
or cancel any of the purchased Subordinated Notes.


 


5.            Events
of Default; Acceleration; Compliance Certificate. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default”:


 


(a)          the
entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of Company by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law, now or hereafter in effect of the United States
or any political subdivision thereof, and such decree or order will have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
days;


 


(b)          the
commencement by Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, now or hereafter
in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or the consent by Company to the entry of a decree or order
for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any such law;


 




    A-1-6 


     


    

 


(c)          the
failure of Company to pay any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same will become due and
payable, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 30 days;


 


(d)          the
failure of Company to pay all or any part of the principal of any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same will become due
and payable;


 


(e)          the
failure of Company to perform any other covenant or agreement on the part of Company contained in the Subordinated Notes or the
Purchase Agreement, and the continuation of such failure for a period of 60 days after the date on which notice specifying such
failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and demanding that Company remedy the same,
will have been given, in the manner set forth in Section 21, to Company by the Noteholders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding; or the default by Company under any bond, debenture, note or
other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by Company having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $30,000,000,
whether such indebtedness now exists or is created or incurred in the future, which default (i) constitutes a failure to pay any
portion of the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period or (ii)
results in such indebtedness becoming due or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it otherwise would have
become due and payable without, in the case of clause (i), such indebtedness having been discharged or, in the case of clause (ii),
without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled.


 


Unless
the principal of this Subordinated Note already shall have become due and payable, if an Event of Default set forth in subsections
(a) or (b) above shall have occurred and be continuing, the holder of this Subordinated Note, by notice in writing to Company,
may declare the principal amount of this Subordinated Note to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration the
same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. Company waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment,
notice of protest, and all other notices. Company, within 45 calendar days after the receipt of written notice from any Noteholder
of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note, shall mail to all Noteholders, at their addresses
shown on the Security Register (as defined in Section 13 below), such written notice of Event of Default, unless such Event
of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice as certified by Company in writing.


 


6.          Failure
to Make Payments. In the event of failure by Company to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Subordinated
Note (and, in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for 30 calendar days), Company will, upon
demand of the holder of this Subordinated Note, pay to the holder of this Subordinated Note the amount then due and payable on
this Subordinated Note for principal and interest (without acceleration of the Note in any manner), with interest on the overdue
principal and interest at the rate borne by this Subordinated Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If Company fails
to pay such amount upon such demand, the holder of this Subordinated Note may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the
same against Company and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property
of Company.


 




    A-1-7 


     


    

 


Upon
the occurrence of a failure by Company to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Subordinated Note, or an Event
of Default until such Event of Default is cured by Company, Company shall not: (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions
on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of Company’s capital stock; (b) make
any payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of Company that
rank equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes; or (c) make any payments under any guarantee that ranks equal with or junior
to the Subordinated Notes, other than (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe
for or purchase shares of, any class of Company’s common stock; (ii) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the
implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption
or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result of a reclassification of Company’s capital stock or
the exchange or conversion of one class or series of Company’s capital stock for another class or series of Company’s
capital stock; (iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion
or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of Company’s
common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any benefit plans for Company’s directors, officers
or employees or any of Company’s dividend reinvestment plans.


 


7.           Affirmative
Covenants of Company.


 


(a)          Payment
of Principal and Interest. Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the holder of this Subordinated Note that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of, and interest on, this Subordinated Note, in accordance with the terms hereof. Principal
and interest will be considered paid on the date due if Company or a subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m., Massachusetts
time, on any Interest Payment Date, an amount in immediately available funds provided by Company
that is designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. 


 


(b)          Maintenance
of Office. Company will maintain an office or agency in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where Subordinated Notes may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon Company in respect of the Subordinated Notes
may be served.


 


Company may
also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Subordinated Notes may be presented or surrendered
for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission
will in any manner relieve Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Company will
give prompt written notice to the Noteholders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.
