3.1.3 Each Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof and without regard to any future vesting date thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the positive difference, if any, between the Merger Consideration and the exercise price of such Option for each share of CMS Bancorp Common Stock covered by such Option (the “Option Price”) by (ii) the number of shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock subject to such Option (the “Option Consideration”). The payment of the Option Consideration referred to in the immediately preceding sentence to each holder of an Option shall be approved by Putnam and made by CMS Bancorp immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, subject to such holder executing such instruments of cancellation as Putnam may reasonably deem appropriate and provided to such holders at least five (5) days before the Effective Time of the Merger. CMS Bancorp will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Option Consideration such amounts as

CMS Bancorp will be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, 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 CMS Bancorp, such withheld amounts (i) will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Option in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by CMS Bancorp and (ii) shall be timely paid by CMS Bancorp to the relevant government authority. CMS Bancorp shall take all reasonable actions to cooperate with Putnam with respect to the termination and extinguishment of unexercised Options by Option holders.

3.1.4 After the Effective Time of the Merger, shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall be no longer outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and, except as to Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, shares held by CMS Bancorp Stockholders shall thereafter by operation of this section represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

3.2 Procedures for Exchange of CMS Bancorp Common Stock and Options.

3.2.1 Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Putnam shall designate the Exchange Agent. Putnam shall take all steps necessary on or prior to the Closing Date to deliver to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.2, an amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash payable in accordance with Article III hereof (such cash for shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) to be paid in exchange for outstanding CMS Bancorp Common Stock and Options in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2.2 CMS Bancorp shall cause to be delivered to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations specified herein. Putnam shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time of the Merger, take all steps necessary to cause the Exchange Agent 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 cash into which the CMS Bancorp Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Merger. The letter of transmittal (which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of CMS Bancorp) shall 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 surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check representing the amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive in respect of Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

3.2.3 [Reserved]

3.2.4 The holder of a Certificate that prior to the Merger represented issued and outstanding CMS Bancorp Common Stock shall have no rights, after the Effective Time of the Merger, with respect to such CMS Bancorp Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate and receive in exchange the Merger Consideration, as provided in this Agreement.

3.2.5 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.

3.2.6 From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration and cancelled as provided in this Section 3.2.

3.2.7 At any time following the six (6) month period after the Effective Time of the Merger, Putnam shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portions of the Exchange Fund that had been made available to the Exchange Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Exchange Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Putnam (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Putnam, the Acquisition Corporation, CMS 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 any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

3.2.8 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 Putnam, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Putnam 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.

3.2.9 Putnam or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to any holder of CMS Bancorp Common Stock such amounts as Putnam or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, 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 Putnam or

the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts (i) will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the CMS Bancorp Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Putnam or the Exchange Agent and (ii) shall be timely paid by Putnam or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, to the relevant governmental authority.

3.3 Dissenting Shares.

3.3.1 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and held by a shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with applicable provisions of Delaware law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, a shareholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a shareholder of CMS Bancorp or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such share of CMS Bancorp Common Stock, except those provided under applicable provisions of Delaware law (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). A Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such share of CMS Bancorp Common Stock held by the shareholder in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law, unless, after the Effective Time of the Merger, such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, in which case such shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the CMS Bancorp Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2 of this Agreement. Putnam and Acquisition Corporation shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. CMS Bancorp shall not, except with the prior written consent of Putnam and Acquisition Corporation, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation through its sole stockholder, Putnam.

6.3 Access to Properties and Records. In order to facilitate the consummation of the Merger, the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Merger and the integration of the business and operations of the parties, subject to Section 12.1 hereof and subject to applicable laws relating to exchange of information, CMS Bancorp will permit Putnam and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, access, upon reasonable notice, to its personnel and properties and those of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries, and shall disclose and make available to Putnam during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time of the Merger all of the books, papers and records of CMS Bancorp or any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries relating to the assets, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities, including, but not limited to, all books of account (including the general ledger), tax records, minute books of directors’ (other than minutes that discuss any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement or other strategic alternatives) and shareholders’ meetings, organizational documents, Bylaws, material contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, litigation files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or prospects in which Putnam may have a reasonable interest; provided, however, that CMS Bancorp shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights or business interests or confidences of any customer or other person. CMS Bancorp shall provide and shall request its auditors to provide Putnam with such historical financial information regarding CMS Bancorp and any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries (and related audit reports and consents) as Putnam may reasonably request.

CMS Bancorp and any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries shall permit Putnam, at Putnam’s expense, to cause so-called “Phase I Environmental Site Assessments” and/or “Phase II Environmental Site Assessments” to be performed at any physical location owned or operated by CMS Bancorp or any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries and, to the extent CMS Bancorp or any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries has the contractual right to do so, at any Loan Property or Participation Facility.

6.4 Financial and Other Statements.

6.5 Maintenance of Insurance. CMS Bancorp shall maintain, and shall cause each of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries to maintain, such insurance in such amounts as are reasonable to cover such risks management of CMS Bancorp and each of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries reasonably has determined to be prudent and as are customary in relation to the character and location of its and their respective properties and the nature of its and their respective businesses consistent with past practices.

6.6 Disclosure Supplements. From time to time prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, CMS Bancorp will promptly supplement or amend the CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter (including all developments in litigation matters) 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 CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to any CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an admission by CMS Bancorp that such CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule was materially inaccurate prior to such supplement or amendment or that such supplement or amendment constitutes a material change. No supplement or amendment to such CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to have modified the representation, warranties and covenants for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

6.7 Consents and Approvals of Third Parties. CMS Bancorp shall use all reasonable best efforts in good faith to obtain as soon as practicable all consents and approvals of any other Persons necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement. Upon Putnam’s request, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CMS Bancorp shall utilize the services of a professional proxy soliciting firm acceptable to Putnam to help obtain the shareholder vote required to be obtained by it hereunder.

6.8 Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, CMS Bancorp shall use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement during the first quarter of 2015 or as soon thereafter as practicable.

6.9 Failure to Fulfill Conditions. In the event that CMS Bancorp determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Merger, the Holding Company Merger or the Bank Merger cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will immediately so notify Putnam.

6.10 Acquisition Proposals.

6.10.1 From and after the date of this Agreement and until the termination of this Agreement, CMS Bancorp agrees that neither it nor any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall direct and use its best efforts in good faith to cause its and such Subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. CMS Bancorp further agrees that neither it nor any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to cause its and such Subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent CMS Bancorp or its Board of Directors from (A) complying with its disclosure obligations under federal or state law; (B) providing information in response to a request therefore by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the CMS Bancorp Board of Directors receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement substantially similar to that entered into with Putnam; (C) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal or (D) recommending such an Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of CMS Bancorp, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (B), (C) or (D) above, (i) the CMS Bancorp Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such action would be required in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable law, and (ii) the CMS Bancorp Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, is at least as reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to CMS Bancorp’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. An Acquisition Proposal which is received and considered by CMS Bancorp in compliance with this Section 6.10 and which meets the requirements set forth in clause (D) of the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Superior Proposal.” CMS Bancorp agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect

to any Acquisition Proposals. CMS Bancorp agrees that it will notify Putnam immediately (within 24 hours) if any inquiries reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal is received by, any such information reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with CMS Bancorp or any of its representatives after the date hereof, and the identity of the person making such inquiry, proposal or offer and the substance thereof and will keep Putnam informed of any material developments with respect thereto immediately upon the occurrence thereof.

6.10.2 In the event that the Board of Directors of CMS Bancorp determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and upon advice from outside counsel, that it desires to accept a Superior Proposal, it shall notify Putnam in writing of its intent to terminate this Agreement and to forego the execution of the Holding Company Merger Agreement and Bank Merger Agreement in order to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to, or recommend acceptance of, the Superior Proposal. Such notice shall specify all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identify the Person making such Superior Proposal. Putnam shall have five Business Days to evaluate and respond to CMS Bancorp’s notice. If Putnam notifies CMS Bancorp in writing prior to the expiration of the five Business Day period provided above that it shall increase the Merger Consideration to an amount at least equal to that of such Superior Proposal (the “Putnam Proposal”), then CMS Bancorp shall not be permitted to enter into an acquisition agreement with respect to, or permit its Board to recommend acceptance to its shareholders of, such Superior Proposal. Such notice by Putnam shall specify the new Merger Consideration. CMS Bancorp shall have five Business Days to evaluate the Putnam Proposal.

6.10.3 In the event the Superior Proposal involves consideration to CMS Bancorp’s shareholders consisting of securities, in whole or in part, a Putnam Proposal shall be deemed to be at least equal to the Superior Proposal, if the Putnam Proposal offers Merger Consideration that equals or exceeds the consideration being offered to CMS Bancorp’s shareholders in the Superior Proposal valuing any securities forming a part of the Superior Proposal at its cash equivalent based upon (a) for a public company, the average trading price of such securities for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Putnam Proposal, excluding the three (3) highest and three (3) lowest prices within such 30-day period, or (b) for a private company, the written valuation of such securities by a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Any written valuation shall be attached as an exhibit to the Putnam Proposal.

6.10.4 In the event that the Board of Directors of CMS Bancorp determines in good faith, upon the advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel, that the Putnam Proposal is not at least equal to the Superior Proposal, CMS Bancorp may terminate this Agreement and forego the execution of the Holding Company Merger Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement in order to execute an acquisition agreement with respect to, or to allow its Board to adopt a resolution recommending acceptance to CMS Bancorp’s shareholders of, the Superior Proposal as provided in Section 11.1.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director and executive officer who is a signatory to a Shareholder Agreement with Putnam shall, in their capacity as shareholders of CMS Bancorp, continue to be obligated to vote the shares represented by such Shareholder Agreement for approval of this Agreement and against the approval of any other business combination of CMS Bancorp or any CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries without the prior written authorization of Putnam.

6.11 Reserves and Merger-Related Costs. On or before the Effective Time of the Merger, CMS Bancorp shall use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to establish such additional accruals and reserves as may be necessary to conform the accounting reserve practices and methods (including credit loss practices and methods) of CMS Bancorp and CMS Bank to those of Putnam (as such practices and methods are to be applied to CMS Bancorp and CMS Bank from and after the Closing Date) and Putnam’s plans with respect to the conduct of the business of CMS Bancorp and CMS Bank following the Merger and otherwise to reflect Merger and Merger-related expenses and costs incurred by CMS Bancorp, provided, however, that CMS Bancorp shall not be required to take such action unless Putnam agrees in writing that all conditions to Closing set forth in Article IX have been satisfied or waived (including the expiration of any applicable waiting periods but excluding the delivery of certificates and other documents to be delivered at the Closing); prior to the delivery by Putnam of the writing referred to in the preceding clause, CMS Bancorp shall, upon Putnam’s request, provide Putnam a written statement that the representation made in Section 4.22.1 hereof with respect to CMS Bancorp’s or CMS Bank’s allowance for possible loan losses is true as of such date or, alternatively, setting forth in detail the circumstances that prevent such representation from being true as of such date; and no accrual or reserve made by CMS Bancorp or any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries pursuant to this subsection, or any litigation or regulatory proceeding arising out of any such accrual or reserve, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement within the meaning of Section 11.1.2 hereof. No action shall be required to be taken by CMS Bancorp pursuant to this Section 6.12 if, in the written opinion of CMS Bancorp’s independent auditors, such action would contravene GAAP.

6.12 Transaction Expenses of CMS Bancorp and CMS Bank.

6.12.1 CMS Bancorp has provided Putnam with CMS Bancorp’s estimated budget of transaction-related expenses reasonably anticipated to be payable by CMS Bancorp in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement, including the fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers and other professionals. CMS Bancorp shall promptly notify Putnam if or when it determines that it expects to exceed its budget.

6.12.2 Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, CMS Bancorp shall ask all of its attorneys and other professionals to render current and correct invoices for all unbilled time and disbursements. CMS Bancorp shall accrue and/or pay all of such amounts that are actually due and owing as soon as possible.

6.12.3 CMS Bancorp shall advise Putnam monthly of all out-of-pocket expenses that CMS Bancorp has incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement.

6.13 Termination of the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan and CMS Bancorp ESOP.

6.13.1 CMS Bancorp shall take all necessary actions to terminate the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, subject to the Closing of the Merger. In connection with the termination of the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan, CMS Bancorp shall, prior to the Closing Date submit a request to the IRS for a favorable determination letter as to the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan’s tax-qualified status under Code Section 401(a) on termination.

6.13.2 Subject to Closing, the CMS Bancorp ESOP shall be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ESOP Termination Date”). CMS Bancorp shall continue to accrue and make contributions to such CMS Bancorp ESOP for the plan year ending as of the ESOP Termination Date in accordance with the ESOP share acquisition loan amortization schedule in effect as of the date of this Agreement. With respect to termination of the CMS Bancorp ESOP, in no event later than one (1) business day prior to the Effective Time, a sufficient number of unallocated shares held as collateral pursuant to the CMS Bancorp ESOP shall be used to repay the outstanding ESOP share acquisition loan, and immediately thereafter CMS Bancorp will take all necessary actions to extinguish the remaining ESOP share acquisition loan. CMS Bancorp shall, prior to the Closing Date submit a request to the IRS for a favorable determination letter as to the CMS Bancorp ESOP’s tax-qualified status under Code Section 401(a) on termination. With the exception of the unallocated shares that are used to repay the outstanding ESOP share acquisition loan, which shall be exchanged on the Closing Date for the Merger Consideration, all plan assets shall be allocated for the benefit of such plan participants as of the ESOP Termination Date, subject to a receipt of a determination letter from the IRS with respect to the tax-qualified status of the CMS Bancorp ESOP on termination.

6.14 Termination of CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan. CMS Bancorp shall take all necessary steps to terminate the frozen CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan, effective prior to the Closing Date, subject to the Closing of the Merger, and to give timely the appropriate ERISA notices to participants of such termination. CMS Bancorp shall prepare the IRS Form 5310 for a favorable determination letter as to the CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan’s tax-qualified status under Code Section 401(a) on termination. It is Putnam’s intention that such termination effective date shall occur before the Closing Date, with Putnam contributing the underfunded liability on termination after the Closing Date. CMS Bancorp shall, prior to the Closing Date, and Putnam shall after the Closing Date, use their best efforts to obtain the IRS favorable determination letter and take such other action as needed to cause a distribution of the CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan’s accrued benefits to participants.

information in such Putnam Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to any Putnam Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be an admission by Putnam that such Putnam Disclosure Schedule was materially inaccurate prior to such supplement or amendment or that such supplement or amendment constitutes a material change. No supplement or amendment to such Putnam Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to have modified the representation, warranties and covenants the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

7.2 Consents and Approvals of Third Parties. Putnam shall use all reasonable best efforts in good faith to obtain as soon as practicable all consents and approvals of any other Persons necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement.

Continuing Employees who become participants in a Putnam Employee Plan shall, for purposes of determining eligibility for and any applicable vesting periods of such employee benefits only (and not for benefit accrual purposes) be given credit for meeting eligibility and vesting requirements in such plans for service as an employee of CMS Bancorp or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Time of the Bank Merger. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of Putnam to terminate the employment of any CMS Bancorp employee or to review any CMS Bancorp Employee Plan from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any such plan) as they deem appropriate.

7.5.2 Putnam shall honor the contractual terms of all employment, consulting, change in control, severance and deferred compensation agreements, if any, listed on CMS Bancorp Disclosure Schedule 4.14.1, except to the extent any such agreement is superseded or terminated as of, or following, the Effective Time of the Bank Merger. The estimated amounts payable under the CMS Bancorp Employee Plans are set forth in the CMS Bancorp Benefits Schedule. Notwithstanding anything contained in Disclosure Schedule 4.14.1, no payment shall be made that would constitute a “parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Code), and to the extent any payments or benefits would constitute a “parachute payment,” such payments and/or benefits will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Any such determination to reduce payments or benefits shall be made in accordance with a written determination by Putnam’s independent accounting firm that such reduction is necessary to avoid penalties under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code, and such determination shall be provided to each affected person. Putnam shall consider whether to offer any employee whose employment is terminated in connection with the Merger a consulting agreement or to request that an employee enter into a non-compete agreement for appropriate consideration.

7.5.3 For purposes of Putnam’s vacation and/or paid leave benefit programs, Putnam will give each Continuing Employee credit for such individual’s years of employment and accrued paid-time off balance with CMS Bancorp or CMS Bank as of the Effective Time of the Bank Merger.

7.5.4 Any employee of CMS Bancorp or a CMS Bancorp Subsidiary who is not a party to an employment, change in control or severance agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on termination of employment, whose employment is terminated involuntarily (other than for cause) at the Effective Time of the Bank Merger or within six (6) months following the Effective Time of the Bank Merger shall receive a lump sum severance payment from Putnam equal to two week’s base salary or base rate of pay at the rate then in effect, for each full year of employment, beginning with the original hire date and ending on the date of termination of employment, with CMS Bancorp or a CMS Bancorp Subsidiary, subject to a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks, provided, however that such employee enters into a release of claims against Putnam and its affiliates in a customary form reasonably satisfactory to Putnam. A “for cause” termination shall mean any termination of employment due to the occurrence of one or more of the following events: (A) the Continuing Employee’s failure of willful refusal to comply in any material respect with lawful Putnam’s (or any applicable Subsidiary’s) employment policies or directives, (B) the Continuing Employee’s commission of misconduct or an act of fraud, theft or embezzlement against Putnam (or any applicable Subsidiary), (C) the Continuing Employee’s conviction or plea of nolo contendere to any felony or crime involving moral turpitude, or (D) the Continuing Employee’s failure to substantially perform the duties and responsibilities of such Continuing Employee’s position. The estimated amounts payable under the CMS Bancorp Severance Plan are set forth in the CMS Bancorp Benefits Schedule.

7.5.5 In the event of any termination of any CMS Bancorp health plan or consolidation of any such plan with any Putnam health plan, Putnam shall make available to Continuing Employees and their dependents employer-provided health coverage on the same basis as it provides such coverage to Putnam employees. Unless a Continuing Employee affirmatively terminates coverage under a CMS Bancorp health plan prior to the time that such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the Putnam health plan, no coverage of

any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the CMS Bancorp health plans prior to the time such Continuing Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of Putnam and their dependents. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any CMS Bancorp health plan, terminated CMS Bancorp employees and qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of Putnam in accordance with COBRA.

7.5.6 Following the Closing Date, Putnam shall take all steps necessary or desirable to obtain a favorable determination letter on the termination of the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan to the extent that such determination letter has not been received before the Closing Date. As soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of an IRS favorable determination letter on the termination of the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan, the account balances of all participants and beneficiaries in the CMS Bancorp Plan shall be either distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct. Putnam agrees to permit Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances in the CMS Bancorp 401(k) Plan to the Putnam 401(k) Plan.

7.5.7 Following the Closing Date, Putnam shall take all steps necessary or desirable to obtain a favorable determination letter on the termination of the CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan to the extent that such determination letter has not been received before the Closing Date. As soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of an IRS favorable determination letter on the termination of the CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan, Putnam shall take all necessary steps, including working with appropriate vendors to obtain deferred annuities for participants, to distribute the accrued benefits of participants in accordance with the terms of the CMS Bancorp Defined Benefit Plan.

7.5.8 Not later than the Effective Time, all remaining shares of CMS Bancorp Common Stock held by the CMS Bancorp ESOP as of the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. In connection with the termination of the CMS Bancorp ESOP, CMS Bancorp, CMS Bank, and/or Putnam following the Effective Time of the Bank Merger, shall use their best efforts to seek a favorable determination letter from the IRS on the termination of the CMS Bancorp ESOP. As soon as administratively practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter on the termination of the CMS Bancorp ESOP, the account balances in the ESOP shall be either distributed to the participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct, in accordance with the requirements of the Code and ERISA.

7.6 Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

7.6.1 Putnam shall maintain in effect for six (6) years following the Effective Time of the Merger, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by CMS Bancorp and the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries (provided, that Putnam may substitute therefore policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. In connection with the foregoing, CMS Bancorp agrees to provide such insurer or

substitute insurer with such representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims. Alternatively, Putnam may purchase “tail coverage” for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time of the Merger for CMS Bancorp’s and the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries’ current directors and officers in amount and scope, and containing terms and conditions, which are not less favorable than CMS Bancorp’s current policy, and with an insurance company having a similar rating. The foregoing notwithstanding, in no event shall Putnam be required to expend on tail coverage in excess of 175% of the annual premium paid by CMS Bancorp for 2013 with respect to such insurance and if the annual premium exceeds such amount, Putnam shall provide the maximum amount of coverage that can be obtained for such amount.

7.6.2 From and after the Effective Time of the Merger, Putnam 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 of the Merger, a director or executive of CMS Bancorp (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of Putnam, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, investigative 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 on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive of CMS Bancorp or any of the CMS Bancorp Subsidiaries if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time of the Merger (including, without limitation, the Merger, the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Holding Company Merger Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time of the Merger, the Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger or the Effective Time of the Bank Merger (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), as provided under applicable state or federal law and under CMS Bancorp’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Putnam shall only pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party if permitted by applicable state or federal law and upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if the Indemnified Party shall be adjudicated or determined not to be entitled to indemnification.

7.7 The Acquisition Corporation. Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, the Acquisition Corporation will be a corporation duly organized and in good standing or legal existence, as appropriate, under Delaware law with full corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as then conducted and shall be duly licensed or qualified to do business and be in good standing or legal existence, as appropriate, in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires such licensing or qualification.
