The Corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request
and without charge, a full statement of the designation, relative
rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of each class of
capital stock the Corporation is authorized to issue and, with
respect to preferred stock, the designation, relative rights,
preferences and limitations of each series of preferred stock so
far as the same have been fixed and the authority of the Board of
Directors to designate and fix the relative rights, preferences and
limitations of other series. Such request may be made in writing
to the Secretary of the Corporation.
The Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation includes a
provision which prohibits any person from directly or indirectly
acquiring the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of any class of
equity security of the Corporation, unless such offer or
acquisition shall have been approved in advance by a two-thirds
vote of the Continuing Directors of the Corporation, as defined in
Article Sixteenth of the Certificate of Incorporation. This
provision does not apply to the purchase of shares by underwriters
in connection with a public offering, the granting of proxies to
certain directors of the Corporation by stockholders of the
Corporation or the acquisition of shares by an employee benefit
plan of the Corporation or a subsidiary. Such provision eliminates
the voting rights of securities acquired in violation of the
provision. Such provision will expire five years from the date of
completion of the conversion of Ogdensburg Federal Savings and Loan
Association, Ogdensburg, New York (the "Association") from mutual
to stock form. The Certificate of Incorporation also imposes
certain restrictions on the voting rights of beneficial owners of
more than 10% of any class of equity security of the Corporation
after five years from the date of completion of the conversion of
the Association from mutual to stock form.
