            (ii) each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive:

               (A) a number of shares of SHC Common Stock equal to: (1) the Exchange Ratio; multiplied by (2) a fraction (the “Stock Fraction”), the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Stock Number and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Stock Election Shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and

               (B) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to: (1) the Cash Value; multiplied by (2) a fraction equal to one minus the Stock Fraction.

               (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, to avoid the ongoing expense of very small shareholder accounts, any Frankfort First Shareholder whose election would result in such Frankfort First Shareholder receiving less than 100 (or such smaller number as may be agreed upon by First Federal and Frankfort First) shares of SHC Common Stock shall have their Frankfort First Common Stock converted solely into cash. In that event, the proportions of cash and SHC Common Stock to be received by other Frankfort First Shareholders who have made a Stock Election shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect a pro rata allocation of remaining available cash and SHC Common Stock among such other Frankfort First Shareholders.

         (f) Other. In the event that Section 2.8(e) of this Agreement is not applicable: (i) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of the Cash Value; (ii) each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of SHC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and (iii) each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive shares of SHC Common Stock and the right to receive cash on a proportionate basis in the total discretion of First Federal, provided that no Frankfort First Shareholder shall receive less than 100 (or such smaller number as may be agreed upon by First Federal and Frankfort First) shares of SHC Common Stock.

         (g) Initial Mailing. First Federal and Frankfort First will mail a Form of Election to all holders of record of shares of Frankfort First Common Stock as of a date mutually agreed to by Frankfort First and First Federal (the “Initial Mailing Record Date”) which shall be

15

approximately 45 calendar days prior to the anticipated Effective Time. Elections shall be made by holders of Frankfort First Common Stock by mailing to the Exchange Agent a Form of Election. To be effective, a Form of Election must be properly completed, signed and submitted to the Exchange Agent and accompanied by the certificates representing the shares of Frankfort First Common Stock (“Frankfort First Certificates”) as to which the election is being made (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a member of any registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, provided such certificates are in fact delivered by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery). First Federal will have the discretion, which it may delegate in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent, to determine whether Forms of Election have been properly completed, signed and submitted or revoked and to disregard immaterial defects in Forms of Election. The decision of First Federal (or the Exchange Agent) in such matters shall be conclusive and binding. Neither First Federal nor the Exchange Agent will be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in a Form of Election submitted to the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall also make all computations contemplated by this Section 2.8 of this Agreement and all such computations shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of Frankfort First Common Stock absent manifest error in any such computation.

         (h) Nonsubmittal. For the purposes hereof, a holder of Frankfort First Common Stock who does not submit a Form of Election which is received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made a Non-Election. If First Federal or the Exchange Agent shall determine that any purported Cash Election or Stock Election was not properly made, such purported Cash Election or Stock Election shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and the Person making such purported Cash Election or Stock Election shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have made a Non-Election.

         (i) Subsequent Mailings. First Federal and Frankfort First shall each use its reasonable best efforts to promptly mail the Form of Election to all Persons who become holders of Frankfort First Common Stock during the period between the Initial Mailing Record Date and 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, on the date ten calendar days prior to the anticipated Effective Time and to make the Form of Election available to all Persons who become holders of Frankfort First Common Stock subsequent to such day and no later than the close of business on the third business day prior to the Effective Time.

         (j) Election Deadline. A Form of Election must be received by the Exchange Agent by the close of business on the third business day prior to the Effective Time (the “Election Deadline”) in order to be effective. All elections will be irrevocable.

         (k) Treasury Stock. Any shares of Frankfort First Common Stock that are owned by Frankfort First or the Bank, except shares held in a fiduciary capacity, at the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist and no cash or shares of SHC Common Stock shall be issued or delivered in exchange therefor.

         (l) Adjustment. In the event that, prior to the Effective Time, there is a reclassification, stock split or stock dividend with respect to outstanding SHC Common Stock or

16

outstanding Frankfort First Common Stock, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment, if any, shall be made to any or one or more of the Cash Value or the Exchange Ratio.

     2.9 Frankfort First Stock Options. Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each holder of an option outstanding under the Frankfort First Stock Option Plan, whether or not the option is then exercisable, shall receive from Frankfort First in cancellation of such option (such cancellation to be reflected in a written agreement) a cash payment in an amount determined by multiplying the number of shares of Frankfort First Common Stock subject to option by such holder by an amount equal to the difference between the Cash Value and the per share exercise price of such option, net of any cash which must be withheld under federal and state income tax requirements. Immediately thereafter, Frankfort First shall cancel each such option. No cash payment for cancellation of existing stock options shall be payable without the prior review of First Federal.

     2.10 Exchange of Frankfort First Certificates.

         (a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, SHC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by SHC and reasonably acceptable to Frankfort First (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Frankfort First Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II of this Agreement through the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of SHC Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement; and (ii) cash representing the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement; (such certificates for shares of SHC Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, such cash and any Fraction Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

         (b) Exchange Procedures.

            (i) At or promptly after the Effective Time, SHC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Frankfort First Certificate, other than holders of Dissenting Shares, which immediately prior to the Effective Time of Merger represented outstanding shares of Frankfort First Common Stock and which was not submitted to the Exchange Agent with a duly executed and completed Form of Election: (A) a letter of transmittal (“Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Frankfort First Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Frankfort First Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in such form and have such other customary provisions as SHC may reasonably specify and which are reasonably acceptable to Frankfort First; and (B) instructions to effect the surrender of the Frankfort First Certificates in exchange for cash or shares of SHC Common Stock, or both, as described in this Agreement.

            (ii) Upon surrender of a Frankfort First Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with either a Form of Election or a Letter of Transmittal, in each case duly executed, and with such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Frankfort First Certificate shall be entitled to receive, and SHC shall cause the Exchange Agent to promptly deliver in exchange therefor after the Effective Time: (A) a

17

certificate representing that number of whole shares of SHC Common Stock to which such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Frankfort First Certificate pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement; and (B) a check representing the cash that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Frankfort First Certificate pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement; and (C) a check for any Fraction Payment. The Frankfort First Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled; provided, however, that fractional share interests of any one holder shall be aggregated to maximize the number of whole shares of SHC Common Stock to be issued and minimize the Fraction Payments.

            (iii) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Frankfort First Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Frankfort First, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of SHC Common Stock, a check for the proper amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Frankfort First Certificate pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement and any Fraction Payment, shall be delivered to the transferee if the Frankfort First Certificate which represented such shares of Frankfort First Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

            (iv) No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash and shares of SHC Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, the cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, and unpaid dividends and distributions on the shares of SHC Common Stock, if any, payable to Frankfort First Shareholders.

            (v) If any Frankfort First Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Frankfort First Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by SHC in its reasonable discretion, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as SHC may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Frankfort First Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Frankfort First Certificate, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of SHC Common Stock and a check for the cash, in each case that such Frankfort First Shareholder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.8 of this Agreement, and the Fraction Payment, if any, with respect to the shares of Frankfort First Common Stock formerly represented thereby, and unpaid dividends and distributions on the shares of SHC Common Stock, if any, as provided in this Article II of this Agreement.

            (vi) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.9 of this Agreement, each Frankfort First Certificate, other than Dissenting Shares, shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender only the cash or shares of SHC Common Stock, or both, and any Fraction Payment.

            (vii) Dissenting Shares as to which appraisal rights have been properly perfected shall be treated in the manner provided in Section 2.12.

18

         (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. If any SHC Common Stock is issued pursuant to the Merger, no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to SHC Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Frankfort First Certificate with respect to the shares of SHC Common Stock represented thereby, and no Fraction Payment shall be paid to any such holder, until the holder of such Frankfort First Certificate has surrendered such Frankfort First Certificate to the Exchange Agent. Subject to the effect of any applicable Law, following the surrender of any such Frankfort First Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the surrendered Frankfort First Certificate, without interest: (i) promptly, any Fraction Payment to which such holder is entitled and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of Merger theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of SHC Common Stock; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of SHC Common Stock.

         (d) No Further Rights in Frankfort First Common Stock. All shares of SHC Common Stock issued and cash paid upon conversion of the Frankfort First Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Frankfort First Common Stock.

         (e) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of SHC Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional share interests of a holder of more than one Frankfort First Certificate at the Effective Time shall be aggregated. If a fractional share interest results after such aggregation, each holder of a fractional interest shall be paid an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying such fractional interest by the Cash Value. Promptly after the determination of the amount of cash to be paid to holders of fractional interests, the Exchange Agent shall notify SHC and SHC shall deliver such amounts to such holders subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10(c) of this Agreement.

         (f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by SHC. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to SHC. In the event the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder, then SHC shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such payment obligations.

         (g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the Frankfort First Shareholders after twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to SHC, upon demand, and any Frankfort First Shareholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II of this Agreement shall thereafter look only to SHC for payment of their claim for cash or shares of SHC Common Stock, or both, any cash in lieu of fractional share interests and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto.

         (h) No Liability. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any Frankfort First Shareholder for any shares of Frankfort First

19

Common Stock or SHC Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered in accordance with applicable Law to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

         (i) Withholding Rights. SHC shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Frankfort First Shareholder such amounts as SHC is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by SHC, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Frankfort First Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by SHC.

         (j) Uncertificated Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Form of Election and the Letter of Transmittal may, at the option of SHC, provide for the ability of a holder of one or more Frankfort First Certificates to elect that SHC Common Stock to be received in exchange for the Frankfort First Common Stock formerly represented by such surrendered Frankfort First Certificates be issued in uncertificated form.

         (k) Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Frankfort First shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Frankfort First Common Stock thereafter on the records of Frankfort First. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Frankfort First Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Frankfort First Common Stock except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

     2.11 Tax-Free Reorganization. The parties intend that this Agreement be a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that the Merger be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code to the extent that shares of Frankfort First Common Stock are exchanged for shares of SHC Common Stock as described in this Agreement. No party shall voluntarily take or cause to be taken any action which would disqualify the Merger as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

     2.12 Dissenting Shares. Any Dissenting Shares shall not, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive any dividends or other distributions, shall not be entitled to receive Merger Consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares and shall be entitled only to such rights as are set forth in the DGCL; provided however, that shares of Frankfort First Common Stock held by a dissenting stockholder who subsequently withdraws a demand for payment, fails to comply fully with the requirements of the DGCL, or otherwise fails to establish the appraisal rights of such stockholder under the DGCL shall be deemed to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions referred to above. All negotiations with respect to payment for Dissenting Shares shall be handled by First Federal.

20

     2.13 Meeting of Frankfort First Shareholders.

         (a) Frankfort First will promptly take all steps necessary to cause the Frankfort First Meeting to be duly called, noticed, and held as soon as practicable for the purpose of voting to approve this Agreement, the Merger and all matters related thereto. Frankfort First will use its best efforts to secure the required approval of its Shareholders.

         (b) Merger Corp. and Frankfort First will prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, respectively, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. First Federal and Frankfort First shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be cleared for mailing, and the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. Frankfort First will cause to be mailed to its Shareholders a notice of the Meeting and the Proxy Statement as soon as practicable thereafter. First Federal and Frankfort First shall also take such action as may be reasonably required to cause any shares of SHC Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger to be registered or to obtain an exemption from registration or qualification under applicable state “blue sky” or securities Laws; provided, however, that Merger Corp. shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file any general consent to service of process under the Laws of any jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement will furnish to the other parties all information concerning itself as each such other party or its counsel may reasonably request and which is required or customary for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement.

         (c) The Proxy Statement shall include the recommendation of the Board of Directors of Frankfort First in favor of the Merger; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of Frankfort First shall, in good faith and after consulting with its legal counsel, determine that to make such a recommendation would be a violation of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, then the Board of Directors of Frankfort First shall not be obligated to make any such recommendation.

     2.14 Liquidation Account and Sub-Accounts. The liquidation account and sub-account balances of the Bank shall be continued for the benefit of certain account holders of the Bank who maintain their accounts in the Bank in the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank. The liquidation account balance shall be subject to downward adjustment to the extent of any downward adjustment to any sub-account balance in accordance with Section 563b.470 of the regulations of the OTS. A distribution of each sub-account balance may be made only in the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank and only out of funds available for such purpose after payment of all creditors but before any payments to stockholders.

     2.15 Reorganization. In connection with the Merger, First Federal and Frankfort First will conduct a series of transactions, as set forth below (the “Reorganization”):

         (a) First Federal will organize an interim stock savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary (“Interim One”);

21

         (b) Interim One will organize a stock corporation, SHC, as a wholly owned subsidiary;

         (c) Interim One will organize an interim federal savings bank as a wholly owned subsidiary (“Interim Two”);

         (d) First Federal will convert its charter to a federal stock savings and loan association charter, thereby becoming a stock savings and loan association (“Stock Bank”), and Interim One will exchange its charter for a federal mutual holding company charter to become the mutual holding company (“MHC”) for SHC and Stock Bank following the Reorganization;

         (e) Interim Two will merge with and into the Stock Bank with the Stock Bank as the resulting institution;

         (f) former members of First Federal will become members of the MHC;

         (g) MHC will transfer 100% of the issued common stock of the Stock Bank to SHC in a capital distribution; and

         (h) SHC will issue a majority of its common stock to the MHC and sell shares of SHC Common Stock in subscription and community offerings.

     Immediately following consummation of the Reorganization, SHC will form Merger Corp. as a wholly owned subsidiary, and Merger Corp. will merge with and into Frankfort First pursuant to which each of the issued and outstanding shares of Frankfort First Common Stock shall be automatically by operation of law converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.8 herein and the issued and outstanding shares of Merger Corp. common stock shall be converted by operation of law into an equal number of newly issued shares of Frankfort First Common Stock all of which shall be owned by SHC. Immediately following the Merger, Frankfort First shall be liquidated into SHC (the “Liquidation”).

     Therefore, as a result of the Reorganization, the Merger and the Liquidation, Bank and Stock Bank would become “sister” savings and loan associations owned by SHC. MHC would own at least 51% of the stock of SHC, and the new public shareholders, consisting of purchasers in the subscription and community offerings, the former shareholders of Frankfort First and the ESOP, together would own up to 49% of the outstanding SHC Common Stock.

     The amount of SHC Common Stock to be offered to the public would be determined so that the total of SHC Common Stock issued to Frankfort First Shareholders, new investors and the ESOP, as well as shares reserved for options or the other future compensation programs for directors and employees of SHC and its Subsidiaries, would constitute less than 50% of the total SHC Common Stock, and the balance would be owned by MHC.

     The Reorganization is subject to certain regulatory approvals. After the Reorganization is effected, First Federal agrees that it will assume and timely discharge any and all obligations, covenants and agreements of Frankfort First under this Agreement which are to be performed or

22

discharged after the Effective Time, but which have not been fully performed or discharged as of the time the Reorganization is effected.

     2.16 Alternative Structure. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, First Federal may specify (subject to Frankfort First’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) that any of its or MHC’s direct or indirect subsidiaries, and Frankfort First and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries shall enter into transactions other than those described in this Article II, in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement, and First Federal and Frankfort First shall take all action necessary and appropriate to effect, or cause to be affected, such transactions; provided, however, that (i) other than a change in structure required by a regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no such specification shall materially and adversely affect the timing of the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein; or (ii) no such specifications shall materially and adversely affect the tax effect or economic benefits of the Merger to the holders of Frankfort First Common Stock or to First Federal’s members or the fundamental structure of the mid-tier holding company in the Reorganization.

Neither party shall take any action, nor agree to commit to take any action, which would or reasonably can be expected to: (i) adversely affect the ability of either First Federal or Frankfort First to obtain the Regulatory Approvals; (ii) adversely affect a party’s ability to perform its covenants or agreements under this Agreement; or (iii) result in any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII not being satisfied.

     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, a Termination Event shall mean either of the following:

         (i) Frankfort First or any Frankfort First Subsidiary, without having received First Federal’s prior written consent, shall have entered into a written agreement to engage in an Acquisition Proposal with any person (the term “person” for purposes of this Agreement having the meaning assigned thereto in Section 3(a)(9) and 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder) other than First Federal or any Affiliate of First Federal or the Board of Directors of Frankfort First shall have recommended that the shareholders of Frankfort First approve or accept any Acquisition Proposal with any person other than First Federal or any Affiliate of First Federal; or

         (ii) After a bona fide written proposal is made by any person other than First Federal or any Affiliate of First Federal to Frankfort First or its shareholders to engage in an Acquisition Proposal, either (A) Frankfort First shall have breached any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement and such breach would entitle First Federal to terminate this Agreement, (B) the holders of Frankfort First Common Stock shall not have approved this Agreement at the Frankfort First Special Meeting, such Frankfort First Special Meeting shall not have been held in a timely manner or shall have been postponed, delayed or enjoined prior to termination of this Agreement except as a result of a judicial or administrative proceeding or Frankfort First’s Board of Directors shall have (i) withdrawn or modified in a manner materially adverse to First Federal the recommendation of Frankfort First’s Board of Directors with respect to this Agreement, or announced or disclosed to any third party its intention to do so, or (ii) failed to recommend, in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer for Frankfort First Common Stock, against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer to its shareholders or takes no

If, however, any provision of this Agreement is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the parties hereto shall in good faith amend this Agreement to include an alternative provision that accomplishes a result which is not materially different.

     8.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that the assets and business of Frankfort First as a going concern constitute unique property. There is no adequate remedy at Law for the damage which any party might sustain for failure of the other parties to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and accordingly, each party shall be

To the Board of Directors:

     The undersigned is a director of Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc. (“Frankfort First”) and the beneficial holder of shares of common stock of Frankfort First (the “Frankfort First Common Stock”).

     First Federal Savings and Loan Association (“First Federal”) and Frankfort First are considering the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) contemplating the acquisition of Frankfort First through the merger of Frankfort First with and into a to-be-formed subsidiary of mid-tier holding company to be formed in connection with First Federal’s reorganization into the mutual holding company form of organization (the “Merger”). The execution of the Agreement by First Federal is subject to the execution and delivery of this letter agreement.

     In consideration of the substantial expenses that First Federal will incur in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and to induce First Federal to execute the Agreement and to proceed to incur such expenses, the undersigned agrees and undertakes, in his capacity as a stockholder of Frankfort First, and not in his capacity as a director or officer of Frankfort First, as follows:

     1. While this letter agreement is in effect the undersigned shall not, directly or indirectly, except with the prior approval of First Federal, (a) sell or otherwise dispose of or encumber prior to the record date of the Frankfort First Meeting (as defined in the Agreement) any or all of his shares of Frankfort First Common Stock, or (b) deposit any shares of Frankfort First Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any shares of Frankfort First Common Stock or grant any proxy with respect thereto, other than to other members of the Board of Directors of Frankfort First for the purpose of voting to approve the Agreement and the Merger and matters related thereto.

     2. While this letter agreement is in effect the undersigned shall vote or cause to be voted all of the shares of Frankfort First Common Stock that the undersigned shall be entitled to so vote, whether such shares are beneficially owned by the undersigned on the date of this letter agreement or are subsequently acquired: (a) for the approval of the Agreement and the Merger at

the Frankfort First Meeting; and (b) against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Agreement) (other than the Merger).

     3. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that any remedy at law for breach of the foregoing provisions shall be inadequate and that, in addition to any other relief which may be available, First Federal shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without having to prove actual damages.

     4. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to shares with respect to which the undersigned may have voting power as a fiduciary for others. In addition, this letter agreement shall only apply to actions taken by the undersigned in his capacity as a stockholder of Frankfort First and, if applicable, shall not in any way limit or affect actions the undersigned may take in his capacity as a director or officer of Frankfort First.

     5. This letter agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the favorable vote of Frankfort First’s stockholders with respect to the approval of the Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms or (iii) the Effective Time (as that term is defined in the Agreement) of the Merger.

     6. As of the date hereof; the undersigned has voting power with respect to                                shares of Frankfort First Common Stock.

Hazard, Kentucky ###-###-####

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     I have been advised that I may be deemed to be, but do not admit that I am, an “affiliate” of Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FFB”), as that term is defined in Rule 144 and used in Rule 145 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). I understand that pursuant to the terms of the Agreement of Merger, dated as of July 15, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between FFB and First Federal Savings and Loan Association, a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association (“FFSL”), FFB will be acquired by FFSL by means of a merger (the “Merger”).

     I further understand that as a result of the Merger, I may receive shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp, Inc., the federal subsidiary holding company to be formed by FFSL (“Kentucky First Common Stock”) in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FFB (“FFB Common Stock”).

     I have carefully read this letter and reviewed the Merger Agreement and discussed their requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of Kentucky First Common Stock, to the extent I felt necessary, with my counsel or counsel for FFB.

     I represent, warrant and covenant with and to FFSL that in the event I receive any shares of Kentucky First Common Stock as a result of the Merger:

     1. I shall not make any sale, transfer, or other disposition of such shares of Kentucky First Common Stock unless (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act, which is not anticipated, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time), or (iii) in the opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FFSL, or under a “no-action” letter obtained by me from the staff of the SEC, such sale, transfer or other disposition will not violate the registration requirements of, or is otherwise exempt from registration under, the Securities Act.

     2. I understand that, subject to the last paragraph of this letter, FFSL is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Kentucky First Common Stock by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available.

     3. I understand that stop transfer instructions will be given to FFSL’s transfer agent with respect to shares of Kentucky First Common Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger and that there will be placed on the certificates for such shares, or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:

“The shares represented by this certificate were issued as a result of the merger of a subsidiary of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp, Inc. with and into Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., in a transaction to which Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The shares represented by this certificate may be transferred only in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement between the registered holder hereof and First Federal Savings and Loan Association, a copy of which agreement is on file at the principal offices of First Federal Savings and Loan Association.”

     4. I understand that, unless the transfer by me of the Kentucky First Common Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger has been registered under the Securities Act or such transfer is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act, FFSL reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place the following legend on the certificates for such shares, or any substitutions therefor, issued to my transferee:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were acquired from [SHAREHOLDER] who, in turn, received such shares as a result of the merger of a subsidiary of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp, Inc. with and into Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., in a transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 applies. The             shares have been acquired by the holder not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred except in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.”

     It is understood and agreed that the legends set forth in paragraphs (3) and (4) above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legends if I shall have delivered to FFSL (i) a copy of a “no action” letter from the staff of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FFSL, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the Act, or (ii) evidence or representations satisfactory to FFSL that Kentucky First Common Stock represented by such certificates is being or has been sold in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d).

     I further understand and agree that the provisions of Rule 145 shall apply to all shares of Kentucky First Common Stock that my spouse, any relative of mine, or any relative of my spouse, any one of whom has the same home as me, receives as a result of the Merger.

2

     By acceptance hereof, FFSL agrees, for a period of two years after the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement) that, so long as it is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file such reports so that the public information requirements of Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act are satisfied and the resale provisions of Rule 145(d)(1) and (2) are therefore available to me if I desire to transfer any Kentucky First Common Stock issued to me in the Merger.

The Company and the Bank shall reimburse Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Executive in connection with successful enforcement by Executive of the obligations of the Company and the Bank to Executive under this Agreement. Successful enforcement shall mean the grant of an award of money or the requirement that the Company and the Bank take some action specified by this Agreement: (i) as a result of a court order; or (ii) otherwise by the Company and the Bank following an initial failure of the Company and the Bank to pay such money or take such action promptly after written demand therefor from Executive stating the reason that such money or action was due under this Agreement at or prior to the time of such demand.

15. Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances. If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Company and the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 shall be reduced or revised, in the manner determined by Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 12 being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

10

The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 12 shall be based upon the opinion of the Company and the Bank’s independent public accountants and paid for by the Company and the Bank. In the event that the Company, the Bank and/or Executive do not agree with the opinion of such counsel, (i) the Company and the Bank shall pay to Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12, as selected by Executive, which such opinion indicates there is a high probability do not result in any of such payments and benefits being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank and subject to the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and (ii) the Company and the Bank may request, and Executive shall have the right to demand that they request, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 have such consequences. Any such request for a ruling from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Company and the Bank, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to Executive’s approval prior to filing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company, the Bank and Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to Section 12 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 12 below zero.

16. Injunctive Relief. If there is a breach or threatened breach of Section 11g. of this Agreement or the prohibitions upon disclosure contained in Section 10c. of this Agreement, the parties agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for such breach, and that the Company and the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining Executive from such breach or threatened breach, but such relief shall not be the exclusive remedy hereunder for such breach. The parties hereto likewise agree that Executive, without limitation, shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the obligations of the Company and the Bank under this Agreement.
