The Reporting Persons filing this Statement may decide, jointly or individually, to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer. In addition, the Reporting Persons, jointly or individually, may dispose of any or all securities of the Issuer in any manner permitted by applicable securities laws.

On June 27, 2006, Peter R. Bray, in his capacity as a shareholder of the Company, sent a letter nominating Lawrence B. Seidman, Harold Schechter and Raymond Vanaria for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This letter, in its entirety, is attached hereto as Exhibit J. The shares owned by Mr. Bray are included herein even though Mr. Seidman does not have any investment or voting discretion with respect to these shares. These shares are included solely because of the nexus between Mr. Bray and Mr. Seidman. Certain of the Reporting Persons were involved in a proxy contest seeking the election of directors to the Board of Directors of IBSF. These Reporting Persons conducted two proxy contests and during litigation with respect to the results of the second proxy contest, the management of IBSF agreed to sell the institution in a stock for stock transaction to Hubco Inc. In addition certain of the Reporting Persons were involved in two proxy contests involving Wayne Bancorp, Inc. The first proxy contest involved the approval of certain stock plans and option plans for the directors and senior management of Wayne. This proxy contest was resolved prior to a shareholder vote because the respective Reporting Persons agreed to vote for the stock plans and option plans and the Board of Directors of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. agreed to place a representative of the Reporting Persons on the Board. The second proxy contest involved election of directors. During this proxy contest the management of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. announced that Wayne, Bancorp, Inc. would be sold and therefore the Reporting Persons' representative withdrew from seeking election to the Board of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. In addition certain of the Reporting Persons have filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the common stock of 1st Bergen Bancorp, Inc. which company has been acquired by Kearney Federal Savings Bank. In addition certain of the Reporting Persons have filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of Eagle BancGroup, Inc.("EGLB") and informally notified the Company that they intended to solicit proxies for two director nominees in opposition to the two management director nominees at the 1999 annual meeting. On June 30, 1999, EGLB announced the sale of the Company to Busey Corporation. In addition the Reporting Persons have filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of Yonkers Financial Corp. ("YFCB") seeking representation on the Board of Directors of YFCB. In January 2000 certain of the Reporting Persons were involved in a proxy contest seeking to elect two directors to the YFCB Board in opposition to the three management directors. These Reporting Persons were not successful in connection with the proxy contest and the slate proposed by the YFCB management was re-elected. On November 14, 2001, Atlantic Bank of New York, a unit of National Bank of Greece S.A. agreed to acquire all the issued and outstanding YFCB shares for $29 per share. In addition, some of the Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of CNY Financial Corporation ("CNYF") requesting (i) Board representation and (ii) that CNYF maximize shareholder value. On February 25, 1999, Seidman and certain of the Reporting Persons entered into an Agreement with CNYF, wherein CNYF agreed to increase the size of its Board of Directors by one and add Seidman as a Director. Seidman and the Members of the Committee involved agreed to certain restrictions. The material restrictions in this Agreement established the following undertakings: (i) to not acquire more than 9.9% of the outstanding CNYF stock before its year 2,000 Annual Meeting; (ii) to vote for the CNY stock option and restricted stock plan and amendments thereto; (iii) to not solicit proxies or submit proposals prior to the year 2000 Annual Meeting; (iv) to vote all shares in favor of Seidman and the two (2) Board Nominees at the 1999 Annual Meeting; and (v) not to do anything indirectly that it could not do directly. Seidman voted his shares in support of CNYF stock based compensation plans and he became a director of CNYF. On December 29, 1999, CNYF agreed to be acquired by Niagara Bancorp, Inc. for $18.75 cash for each CNYF share. The transaction closed on July 7, 2000. In addition some of the Reporting Persons have filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of South Jersey Financial Corporation, Inc. ("SJFC") seeking representation on the Board of Directors of SJFC. Certain of the Reporting Persons were involved in a proxy contest seeking to elect two directors to the SJFC Board in opposition to the three management directors. On August 12, 1999, an Agreement was reached between SJFC and certain of the Reporting Persons which permitted Seidman and a second proposed Nominee to become directors of SJFC and for Seidman to become a director of South Jersey Savings and Loan Association, the banking subsidiary of SJFC. In addition the Reporting Persons agreed to support the stock option and restricted option plan to be proposed by SJFC at a Special Meeting.

Mr. Seidman had proposed this "Dutch Auction" and, in an Agreement with CBK, agreed to tender all the shares he controlled into the auction and to execute a Standstill Agreement. The "Dutch Auction" was oversubscribed and Mr. Seidman's shares were prorated in the same manner as the other CBK shareholders. In addition, Mr. Seidman and certain of the Reporting Persons requested in connection with the Common Stock of Kankakee Bancorp, Inc.

On January 10, 2003, certain of the Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D with respect to Central Bancorp, Inc. ("CEBK"). The Reporting Persons were involved in litigation relating to their ownership of stock in CEBK. CEBK filed a complaint in the Federal District Court of Massachusetts against certain of the Reporting Persons and others alleging, among other things, that the defendants in that action formed a "group" for the purposes of Section 13[d] of the Exchange Act and violated that provision when they failed to file appropriate schedules with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On January 30, 2003, these entities filed a complaint with the Business Litigation Session of the Massachusetts Superior Court seeking to restrain the board of directors of CEBK from taking certain action arising out of the alleged "group" status of the defendants in the Federal Court action. The Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts granted these entities and others preliminary injunctive relief on February 3, 2003. The Massachusetts Federal District Court entered an order setting a trial date in May, 2003 and extending the preliminary injunction granted by the Superior Court until a decision on the merits by the Federal Court. On May 14, 2003, the respective Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D disclosing the sale of all their CEBK stock. Thereafter, Superior Court Judge Allan van Gestal issued an opinion which held that because of the sale by the respective Reporting Persons of all their CEBK stock, the issues in the complaint were now moot. The Federal Complaint was dismissed shortly thereafter. In addition, Mr. Seidman and certain of the Reporting Persons requested in connection with the Common Stock of GA Financial, Inc. ("GAF") that the Board be increased by one, that someone selected by Seidman be placed on the Board, and that GAF maximize shareholder value. The request was rejected by GAF.

Kish, GAF's Chief Executive Officer seeking to have the election of Mr. Kish to the GAF Board at the 2003 Annual Meeting deemed invalid and declaring that Mr. Seidman was properly elected to the GAF Board at the 2003 Annual Meeting. (See GAF Schedule 13D Amendment No. 3 filed on June 17, 2003 for full details of the Complaint.) Mr. Seidman was not successful in connection with this litigation. The Court refused to invalidate the election results. On December 12, 2003 the Bank was sold to First Commonwealth Financial Corporation for $35.00 in cash or an equivalent value in stock. In addition, Mr. Seidman and certain of the Reporting Persons requested in connection with the Common Stock of United National Bancorp ("UNBJ") that the Board be increased by one, that someone selected by Seidman be placed on the Board, and that UNBJ maximize shareholder value. The request was rejected by UNBJ. Mr. Seidman and certain of the Reporting Persons conducted a proxy contest at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 20, 2003, seeking to elect one director in opposition to the six directors proposed by the management of UNBJ. The reporting persons were not successful and the slate proposed by management was elected. On or about May 8, 2003, Mr. Seidman filed suit against UNBJ and all the UNBJ directors seeking to have the UNBJ directors who ran for re-election at the 2003 Annual Meeting and all the other UNBJ Directors deemed to be ineligible to seek re-election because as alleged their re-election to the Board would violate UNBJ's Director Qualification By-Law provision. The Defendents filed a Motion To Dismiss the Complaint for Failure to State a Cause of Action. An Order granting the Motion To Dismiss was entered on July 15, 2003. On August 21, 2003 PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. agreed to buy UNBJ for $33.89 per share in cash or PNC stock. In addition certain of the Reporting Persons have filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of First Federal Bancshares, Inc. ("FFBI"). On April 16, 2004, FFBI commenced a self-tender offer for the purchase of up to 560,000 shares. On May 28, 2004, FFBI announced that it purchased 559,993 shares at $33.50 per share. Since the number of shares tendered exceeded the number of shares that FFBI had offered to purchase, FFBI only purchased 66.41% of the tendered shares. The Reporting Persons tendered shares which reduced the amount of shares owned by the Reporting Persons to below 5% of FFBI's outstanding shares thereby terminating any future Schedule 13D filing requirements. On October 24, 2002 certain of the Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of Alliance Bancorp of New England, Inc. ("ANE"). On July 15, 2003 ANE agreed to merge with New Alliance Bancshares ("NAB") whereby ANE Common Stock would be converted into and become exchangeable for, at the election of the shareholder, $25.00 in NAB shares, or 2.5 shares of NAB Common Stock based on the expected $10.00 conversion offering price per share. In or about May 2005, certain of the Reporting Persons ran a vote "No" Campaign against the SE Financial Corp. (SEFL) attempt to seek approval for its 2005 Stock Option Plan. On the date of the Annual Meeting, on which the Stock Option Plan was to be voted on by shareholders, SEFL withdrew the plan from shareholder consideration. The Seidman Entities never owned more than 4.9% of SEFL therefore, no Schedule 13D was filed. On April 13, 2005, certain of the Reporting Persons filed a Schedule 13D in connection with the Common Stock of Interchange Financial Services Corporation (IFCJ). On June 28, 2005 Seidman sent Mr. Abbate, IFCJ's President and Chief Executive Office a letter outlining his thoughts on maximizing shareholder value and detailing certain issues he thought management and the Board should address. On December 9, 2005, Mr. Seidman notified IFCJ that he was nominating two (2) directors to run against the candidates to be proposed by IFCJ at the next annual meeting.

On January 6, 2005, Mr. Seidman met with senior management, a director and OCNB's investment advisor. Mr. Seidman had requested representation on the OCNB Board of Directors. At OCNB's September 21, 2005 Annual Meeting, Mr. Seidman's representative was added to the board. On April 24, 2006, Alliance Financial Corporation (ALNC) agreed to acquire OCNB for 25% cash and 75% in ALNC stock. OCNB shareholders will be able to elect to receive either $23.06 in cash or ALNC stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.7547 ALNC shares for each OCNB share, or a combination thereof.

In November 2005, Mr. Seidman notified YANB, that in his opinion, YANB had breached the consulting agreement and that the consulting agreement was no longer valid. Mr. Seidman or an entity affiliated with him nominated three directors to run against the YANB candidates at the 2006 annual meeting. A litigation was commenced in the Superior Court of New Jersey which seeks various forms of relief pertinent to the size and composition of the Board of Directors, as well as relief with respect to actions taken that are claimed to make Mr. Seidman ineligible for election to the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting on May 3, 2006, the Reporting Persons were not successful, and the slate proposed by management was elected.
