    2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

    

    

    This incentive stock option agreement (“Option” or “Agreement”) is and will be subject in every
      respect to the provisions of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Marathon Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) which are incorporated herein by reference and made a
      part hereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  A copy of the Plan and related prospectus have been provided or made available to each person granted a stock option pursuant to the Plan.  The holder of this Option (the “Participant”) hereby accepts this Option, subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, and agrees that all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan and this Agreement by the
      committee appointed to administer the Plan (the “Committee”) or the Board of Directors will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant and the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives, successors
      and permitted assigns.  Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” will include the parent and all present and future subsidiaries of the Company as defined in Section 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
      amended from time to time (the “Code”).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined will have the same meaning as in the Plan.

              Total number of shares of Company common stock, $0.01 par value per share, that may be acquired pursuant to this
                  Option:________

               

              

            

    

    
      	
              •

            	
              This is an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) to the maximum extent permitted under Code Section 422(d) (meaning that up to $100,000 of Options (based on
                the exercise price) that vest in any one calendar year will be Incentive Stock Options).  Please note that for purposes of determining the maximum number of Options that can vest in any one calendar year as Incentive Stock Options, the
                Options granted to you in this Agreement that vest in a calendar year will be aggregated with any earlier Option grant(s) that you received that vest in the same calendar year.  If you vest in the maximum number of Incentive Stock Options
                in which you are permitted to vest for a calendar year under a prior Option Award, all Options that you receive under this Agreement that vest in the same calendar year will be considered Non-Statutory Stock Options.

            Vesting Schedule.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement, this Option first becomes exercisable, subject to the Option’s expiration date, in accordance
              with the vesting schedule specified herein.

          

     

    

    The Options granted under this Agreement shall vest in [number (#)] equal annual installments, with the first installment becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the date
      of grant, or [date], and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter, through [date], subject to accelerated vesting under Sections 9 and 11 of this
      Agreement.  To the extent the Options awarded to me are not equally divisible by the number of vesting periods, any excess Options shall vest on [date].

    

    

    Vesting will automatically accelerate pursuant to Sections 2.7 and 4.1 of the Plan (in the event of death, Disability, or Involuntary Termination of Service on or following a

    EXHIBIT A

    NOTICE OF EXERCISE OF OPTION

    

    

    I hereby exercise the stock option (the “Option”) granted to me by Marathon Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) or its affiliate, subject to all the terms and provisions set forth in the Stock Option
      Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Marathon Bancorp, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) referred to therein, and notify you of my desire to purchase __________________ shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) for a purchase
      price of $______ per share.

    

    

    I wish to pay the exercise price by (check one or more):

    

    

    	

          	___	
            Cash or personal, certified or cashier’s check in the sum of $_______, in full/partial payment of the purchase price.

          

    	

          	___	
            Stock of the Company with a Fair Market Value of $______ in full/partial payment of the purchase price. *

          

    	

          	___	
            A net settlement of the Option, whereby I direct the Company to withhold a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the exercise price obtained on exercise in payment of the exercise price of the Option (and, if applicable, any tax
              withholding).

          

    	

          	___	
            Selling ______ shares from my Option shares through a broker in full/partial payment of the purchase price.

          

    I understand that after this exercise, ____________ shares of Common Stock remain subject to the Option, subject to all terms and provisions set forth in the Agreement and the
      Plan.

    I hereby represent that it is my intention to acquire these shares for the following purpose:

    ___ investment

    ___ resale or distribution

    

    

    Please note: if your intention is to resell (or distribute within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933) the shares you acquire through this Option exercise,
      the Company or transfer agent may require an opinion of counsel that such resale or distribution would not violate the Securities Act of 1933 prior to your exercise of such Option.

    * If I elect to exercise by exchanging shares I already own, I will constructively
      return shares that I already own to purchase the new option shares.  If my shares are in certificate form, I must attach a separate statement indicating the certificate number of the shares I am treating as having exchanged.  If the shares are held
      in “street name” by a registered broker, I must provide the Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned that will be treated as having been exchanged.  I will keep the shares that I already own and treat them as if they
      are shares acquired by the option exercise.  In addition, I will receive additional shares equal to the difference between the shares I constructively exchange and the total new option shares that I acquire.
