ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF PROVIDENT BANK AND
          PROVIDENT BANCORP, INC.

          Generally, federal regulations define areas for indemnity coverage for
federal savings associations, and proposed federal regulations define areas for
indemnity coverage for federal MHC subsidiary holding companies, as follows:

          (a) Any person against whom any action is brought or threatened
because that person is or was a director or officer of the savings association
shall be indemnified by the savings association for:

               (i)   Any amount for which that person becomes liable under a
          judgment in such action; and

               (ii)  Reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
          attorneys' fees, actually paid
          or incurred by that person in defending or settling such action, or
          in enforcing his or her rights under this section if he or she attains
          a favorable judgement in such enforcement action.
 
          (b) Indemnification shall be made to such person under paragraph
(b) of this Section only if:

               (i)   Final judgement on the merits is in his or her favor; or

               (ii)  In case of:

                     a. Settlement,
                     b. Final judgement against him or her, or
                     c. Final judgement in his or her favor, other than on the
                        merits, if a majority of the disinterested directors of
                        the savings association determine that he or she was
                        acting in good faith within the scope of his or her
                        employment or authority as he or she could reasonably
                        have perceived it under the circumstances and for a
                        purpose he or she could reasonably have believed under
                        the circumstances was in the best interest of the
                        savings association or its members. However, no
<PAGE>
 
                        indemnification shall be made unless the association
                        gives the Office at least 60 days notice of its
                        intention to make such indemnification. Such notice
                        shall state the facts on which the action arose, the
                        terms of any settlement, and any disposition of the
                        action by a court. Such notice, a copy thereof, and a
                        certified copy of the resolution containing the required
                        determination by the board of directors shall be sent to
                        the Regional Director, who shall promptly acknowledge
                        receipt thereof. The notice period shall run from the
                        date of such receipt. No such indemnification shall be
                        made if the OTS advises the association in writing,
                        within such notice period, of its objection thereto.

          (c)  As used in this paragraph:

               (i)   "Action" means any judicial or administrative proceeding,
          or threatened proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or otherwise,
          including any appeal or other proceeding for review;

               (ii)  "Court" includes, without limitation, any court to which or
          in which any appeal or any proceeding for review is brought;

               (iii) "Final Judgment" means a judgment, decree, or order which
          is not appealable or as to which the period for appeal has expired
          with no appeal taken;

               (iv) "Settlement"   includes the entry of a judgment by consent
          or confession or a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere.

ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

          Not Applicable.

ITEM 16.  EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES:

          See the Exhibit Index which immediately preceeds the Exhibits to the
          Form S-1.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:

          (1) File, during any period in which it offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

          (i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
     effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
     effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
  represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
  registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
  decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
  securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
  deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may
  be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
  Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
  more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
  in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
  statement;
<PAGE>
 
          (iii)  Include any material information with respect to the plan of
  distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
  material change to such information in the registration statement.

       (2) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act,
  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

       (3) Remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

       The registrant will provide to the underwriter at the closing specified
in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such documentation and registered
in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

undersigned thereunto duly authorized, in the village of Montebello, State of

Board of Directors
Provident Bank
400 Rella Boulevard
Montebello, New York  10901

Members of the Board:

     We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal ("Second Update")
of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be
offered in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion transaction described
below.  This Second Update is furnished pursuant to the requirements of 563b.7
and has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports
for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to
Stock Form of Organization" ("Valuation Guidelines") of the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"), including the most recent revisions as of October 21, 1994,
and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.  As in the preparation of our
original appraisal dated September 4, 1998 ("Original Appraisal") and the first
updated appraisal dated October 30, 1998 ("First Update"), we believe the data
and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy and completeness of such information.

DESCRIPTION OF REORGANIZATION
- -----------------------------

     We understand that the Board of Directors of Provident Bank, Montebello,
New York ("Provident" or the "Bank") has adopted a Plan of Conversion,
incorporated herein by reference, in which the Bank will reorganize from the
mutual form of organization to the mutual holding company form of organization.
In the reorganization process, to become effective concurrent with the
completion of the stock sale, Provident will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Provident Bancorp, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), a Delaware Corporation, and
Provident Bancorp, Inc. will issue a majority of its common stock to Provident,
M.H.C. (the "MHC"), and sell a minority of its common stock to the public.  The
above structure reflects what is called a "two-tier" mutual holding company
structure.  It is a two-tier structure because it will have two levels of
holding companies:  a "mid-tier" stock holding company and a "top-tier" mutual
holding company.  The number of shares of common stock sold to the public will
approximate 47 percent of the shares issued in the offering, and the number of
shares issued to the MHC will approximate 53 percent of the shares issued in the
offering.

Limiting Factors and Considerations
- -----------------------------------

     Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
Common Stock.  Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares
of common stock in the Conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such
shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro forma
market value thereof.

     RP Financial's updated valuation was determined based on the financial
condition and operations of the Bank as of September 30, 1998, the date of the
most recent financial data included in the Holding Company's Prospectus.

     RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any
federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall
not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of
any securities.  RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial,
its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client financial
institutions.

     This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion
regulations and guidelines.  These updates will consider, among other things,
any developments or changes in the Bank's financial performance and condition,
management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift
shares.  These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which
impact value including, but not limited to:  various changes in the legislative
and regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the
market for thrift stocks, and interest rates.  Should any such new developments
or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares,
appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made.
The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date
of the release of the update.

DISCUSSION OF RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS
- -------------------------------------

     This Second Update reflects the following noteworthy items:  a review of
stock market conditions since the October 30, 1998 date of the First Update,
along with updated stock prices as of November 10, 1998.  Pro forma market value
is defined as the price at which Provident's stock immediately upon completion
of the offering would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller,
neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable
knowledge of relevant facts.

     Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
common stock.  Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase
shares of common stock in the offering will thereafter be able to buy or sell
such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market
value thereof. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of
any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial
shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the

purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which
prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its
client institutions.

DISCUSSION OF RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS
- -------------------------------------

     1.  Stock Market Conditions
         -----------------------

          In the period since the First Update, the performance of the overall
stock market has improved as stocks generally have been gaining back the ground
lost in the late Summer/early Fall of 1998.  The market has continued to respond
to two successive rate cuts from the Fed and generally favorable economic
reports -- both of which have been interpreted by the investment community as
improving the investment outlook for stocks.  The DJIA has enjoyed an increase
since the October 30, 1998 update, and as of November 10, 1998, the DJIA closed
at 8863.98, an increase of 3.2 percent.  Similarly, since October 30, 1998, the
SNL index has increased by 2.6 percent to 693.8.  The most dramatic increase,
however, was in the SNL MHC index, closing at 868.9, for an 8.8 percent increase
since the First Update.  We view movement in the MHC index as a firming up of
the market for thrift stock offerings given the investment community's
anticipation of second step pricing in the market price of publicly-traded MHCs.
Such strength, however, appears to reflect retail buying of thrift stocks,
including publicly-traded MHCs, as we understand from numerous sources that many
of the institutional buyers, particularly mutual funds and hedge funds, are less
active in the face of redemption requests.  Table 1 below underscores these
trends.  Since the date of the First Update, three out of every four Peer Group
companies had higher market prices as of November 10, 1998.

(1)  Ratios based on conversions completed for prior three months.

          The "new issue" market is separate and distinct from the market for
seasoned issues.  Accordingly, as discussed in the earlier valuation reports, RP
Financial has considered the pro forma pricing and trading level of recently
converted companies in this Second Update, including full stock conversions and
mutual holding companies.  Between the date of the Original Appraisal and the
First Update, there has been limited new activity.  In the last three months
there have been five full conversion offerings, only two of which are NASDAQ
listed (see Table 2); of these two, CNY Financial remains slightly below the IPO
price, whereas First Niles has increased by nearly 14 percent (see Table 3).  On
average, the two recent publicly-traded conversions are trading at 69.7 percent
price/tangible book.  The two new publicly-traded mutual holding companies,
Sound Bancorp and West Essex Bancorp, essentially remain unchanged in price
since the First Update, with both remaining below their IPO price and trading at
an average of 65.4 percent price/tangible book.  Other offerings in the market
have been forced to either extend their offerings or resolicit at lower
valuations due to subscriptions falling below the previously established
valuation range, including conversions, MHC offerings and second step
conversions.

</TABLE>

     Overall, taking into account the foregoing factors, we believe that an
increase in the Bank's valuation ratios on a fully converted basis are
appropriate, taking into account the general increase in market prices and the
moderating of the marketing of the issue valuation parameter.

VALUATION APPROACHES
- --------------------

     In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS,
i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing
ratios in valuing Provident to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings ("P/E"),
price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all performed on a
pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds.  In computing
the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, updated
information consistent with the prospectus for the effective tax rate, offering
expenses, reinvestment rate and stock benefit plans utilized in the Original
Appraisal did not change in this update.  The pro assumptions are summarized in
Exhibits 2 and 3.

     Consistent with earlier valuation reports, this updated appraisal continues
to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer
Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach, but
also incorporates a technical analysis of recently completed stock conversions,
principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the Original Appraisal) is
the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed
reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds.

     Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that the pro forma market value
range of Provident's stock is subject to an increase.  Therefore, as of November
12, 1998, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma market value of Provident's
stock as a mutual holding company on

<PAGE>
 
Board of Directors
November 12, 1998
Page 8              

a fully-converted basis is equal to $72,000,000, which represents a 16 percent
increase from the midpoint valuation of $62,000,000 concluded in the First
Update. The implied conversion pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group's
pricing ratios are indicated in Table 4, and the updated pro forma calculations
are detailed in Exhibits 2 and 3.

       1. P/B Approach.  Based on the updated midpoint value, Provident's pro
          ------------                                
forma full conversion P/TB ratio was 63.87 percent (versus the 59.48 percent
midpoint valuation in the First Update). Relative to the average P/TB ratio
indicated for the Peer Group of 86.70 percent (fully converted basis),
Provident's updated valuation reflected a 26.3 percent discount relative to the
Peer Group (versus the 29.8 percent discount applied in the First Update). At
the supermaximum of the range, Provident's P/TB ratio approximates 71.88
percent.

          The updated P/TB pricing for Provident at the midpoint falls between
the P/TB ratios for the two recently completed publicly-traded MHCs (full
conversion basis).  Further, factoring in only the MHC offering (i.e., not on a
full conversion basis), Provident's P/TB pricing appears to be consistent with
Sound Bancorp and West Essex Bancorp.  Also, Provident's full conversion P/TB at
the upper end of the range exceeds the average current P/TB for the two recent
standard conversions which are publicly traded.

       2. P/E Approach.  In applying the P/E approach we considered both core
          ------------                                  
and reported earnings, with highest confidence in the core earnings estimates.
Provident's reported and core earnings for the twelve months ended September 30,
1998 equaled $4.242 million (see Table 1 in the First Update). Based on
Provident's core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma
assumptions discussed previously, the Bank's reported and core P/E multiple at
the updated midpoint value (full conversion) equaled 13.04 times. Comparatively,
the Peer Group posted an average reported and core P/E multiple of 19.48 and
19.04 times, respectively (fully converted basis), which indicated discounts of
33.1 and 31.5 percent, respectively, in the Bank's reported and core P/E
multiples. At the supermaximum of the range, the Bank's reported and core P/E
ratios approximate 16.04 times.

       3. P/A Approach. At the updated midpoint value, Provident exhibited a pro
          ------------                                 
forma P/A ratio of 9.57 percent. In comparison to the Peer Group's average P/A
ratio of 19.55 percent (fully converted basis), Provident's midpoint P/A ratio
indicated a smaller discount than in the First Update). At the supermaximum of
the range, Provident's P/A ratio approximates 12.33 percent.

SUMMARY
- -------

     Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that Provident's estimated pro
forma market value should be increased from the level in the First Update.
Accordingly, it is our opinion, as of November 12, 1998, the estimated aggregate
pro forma market value of the offering shares in a full stock conversion, is as
follows:

        (2)  In the event that the appraised value increases up to an additional
             15 percent.

     The Board of Directors has established a public offering range such that
the public ownership of the Holding Company will constitute a 47 percent
ownership interest.  Accordingly, the offering range to the public of the
minority stock will range from $28,560,000 at the minimum, to $33,600,000 at the
midpoint, $38,640,000 at the maximum and $44,436,000 at the supermaximum of the
valuation range, all based on a $10.00 per share offering price.  Based on the
public offering range, the public ownership of the shares will represent 47
percent of the shares issued in the reorganization, with the MHC owning the
majority of the shares.  The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the
Peer Group (fully converted basis) are shown in Table 4 and are detailed in
Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3; the pro forma valuation calculations relative to the
Peer Group based on reported financials are shown in Table 5 and are detailed in
Exhibits 4 and 5.
