(BCB and Pamrapo are herein sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”)

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of each of BCB and Pamrapo have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their stockholders to enter into this Agreement and complete the business combination and related transactions contemplated herein in which Pamrapo will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge (the “Merger”) with and into BCB; and

WHEREAS, as soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”), BCB Community Bank, a New Jersey chartered bank and a wholly owned subsidiary of BCB (the “Bank,” or the “Surviving Institution”), and Pamrapo Savings Bank, S.L.A., a New Jersey chartered stock savings and loan association and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pamrapo (“Pamrapo Bank”), will enter into a Subsidiary Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), a form of which is attached as Annex A, providing for the merger (the “Subsidiary Merger”) of Pamrapo Bank with and into the Bank, with the Surviving Institution to bear the corporate name BCB Community Bank. It is intended that the Subsidiary Merger be consummated as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the directors and executive officers of Pamrapo have on the date hereof entered into Voting Agreements with BCB, in the form attached hereto as Annex B, agreeing to vote for the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the directors and executive officers of BCB have on the date hereof entered into Voting Agreements with Pamrapo, in the form attached hereto as Annex C, agreeing to vote for the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the parties intend the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement be and is hereby adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “NJBCA”), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), Pamrapo shall merge with and into BCB. BCB shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be BCB Bancorp, Inc. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Pamrapo shall terminate.

1.2 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) which shall be filed with appropriate authorities in the State of New Jersey (the “Authorities”) on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.1 hereof). The term “Effective Time” shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective, as set forth in the Certificate of Merger.

1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the NJBCA.

1.4 Conversion of Pamrapo Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.2 (e) hereof, each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pamrapo (the “Pamrapo Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Pamrapo Common Stock held (x) in Pamrapo’s treasury or (y) directly or indirectly by BCB or Pamrapo or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as defined below) (except for Trust Account Shares and DPC shares, as such terms are defined in Section 1.4 (b) hereof)) shall, by virtue of this Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and exchangeable for 1.0 share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the common stock, without par value, of BCB (“BCB Common Stock”). All of the shares of Pamrapo Common Stock converted into BCB Common Stock pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (each a “Certificate”) previously representing any such shares of Pamrapo Common Stock shall thereafter only represent the right to receive (i) the number of whole shares of BCB Common Stock and (ii) the cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of Pamrapo Common Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4(a) and Section 2.2(e) hereof. Certificates previously representing shares of Pamrapo Common Stock shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of BCB Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, without any interest thereon. If prior to the Effective Time, either BCB or Pamrapo should merge, reclassify its shares, recapitalize, declare a stock dividend, stock split or other similar change in capitalization, or other distribution in such common stock, then the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such action.

(b) At the Effective Time, all shares of Pamrapo Common Stock that are owned by Pamrapo as treasury stock and all shares of Pamrapo Common Stock that are owned

directly or indirectly by BCB or Pamrapo or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares of Pamrapo Common Stock (x) held directly or indirectly in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or otherwise held in a fiduciary capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties (any such shares, and shares of BCB Common Stock which are similarly held, whether held directly or indirectly by BCB or Pamrapo, as the case may be, being referred to herein as “Trust Account Shares”) and (y) shares of Pamrapo Common Stock held by BCB or Pamrapo or any of their respective Subsidiaries in respect of a debt previously contracted (any such shares of Pamrapo Common Stock, and shares of BCB Common Stock which are similarly held, whether held directly or indirectly by BCB or Pamrapo being referred to herein as “DPC Shares”)) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no stock of BCB or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. All shares of BCB Common Stock that are owned by Pamrapo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) shall become treasury stock of BCB.

1.5 Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, all options granted by Pamrapo (“Pamrapo Options”) to purchase shares of Pamrapo Common Stock which are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall be converted, in their entirety, automatically into options to purchase shares of BCB Common Stock (the “Continuing Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of Pamrapo Bancorp, Inc.’s 2003 Stock Based Incentive Plan (the “Pamrapo Stock Plan”):

(1) The number of shares of BCB Common Stock to be subject to the Continuing Options shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Pamrapo Common Stock subject to the Pamrapo Options and the Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional shares of BCB Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share; and

(2) The exercise price per share of BCB Common Stock under the Continuing Options shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Pamrapo Common Stock under the Pamrapo Options divided by the Exchange Ratio, provided that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.

The adjustment provided herein with respect to any options which are “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the Continuing Options shall be the same as the Pamrapo Options, except that all references to Pamrapo shall be deemed to be references to BCB.

(b) At all times after the Effective Time, BCB shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of BCB Common Stock as necessary so as to permit the exercise of Continuing Options in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and in the instruments pursuant to which such options were granted. Shares of BCB Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Continuing Options shall be covered by an effective registration statement on Form S-8, and BCB shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 covering such shares as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than 30 days after the Effective Time.

(c) Continuing Options may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Pamrapo Options in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable law and regulation.

1.6 BCB Common Stock. Except for shares of BCB Common Stock owned by Pamrapo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares), which shall be converted into treasury stock of BCB as contemplated by Section 1.4 hereof, the shares of BCB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unaffected by the Merger and at the Effective Time, such shares shall remain issued and outstanding.

1.7 Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of BCB, as in effect at the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time so as to read in its entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit 1.7 and, as so amended and restated, such Certificate of Incorporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

1.8 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of BCB, shall be amended to increase the number of authorized directors of BCB to up to 14 persons, and these Bylaws as amended shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

1.9 Directors and Officers. The initial boards of directors and certain officers of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Institution shall be as set forth on and designated in accordance with Exhibit 1.9 hereto until the earlier of the resignation, retirement or removal of any individual set forth on or designated in accordance with Exhibit 1.9 or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. Upon Effective Time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation and Bank and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation and Bank. At the Effective Time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will serve as the Chief Financial Officer and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will serve as the Chief Operating Officer.

1.10 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger and the Subsidiary Merger each constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, each party shall use its best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any action, or fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action of failure to act could prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

2.1 BCB to Make Shares Available. At or prior to the Effective Time (and following the filing of the amended Certificate of Incorporation), BCB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”), selected by BCB and reasonably satisfactory to Pamrapo, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the shares of BCB Common Stock and the cash in lieu of fractional shares (such cash and certificates for shares of BCB Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4 and paid pursuant to Section 2.2(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Pamrapo Common Stock.

2.2 Exchange of Shares

(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event more than five business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a letter of transmittal (which 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) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the shares of BCB Common Stock and the cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of Pamrapo Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. Pamrapo shall have the right to review both the letter of transmittal and the instructions prior to the Effective Time and provide reasonable comments thereon. 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 (x) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of BCB Common Stock to which such holder of Pamrapo Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I hereof and (y) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of Certificates.

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to BCB Common Stock and payable to the holders of record thereof shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of BCB Common Stock represented by such Certificate. No holder of an unsurrendered Certificate shall be entitled, until the surrender of such Certificate, to vote the shares of BCB Common Stock into which his Pamrapo Common Stock shall have been converted.

(c) If any certificate representing shares of BCB Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of BCB Common Stock in any name other than that of 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.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Pamrapo of the shares of Pamrapo Common Stock which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of BCB Common Stock as provided in this Article II.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of BCB Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to BCB Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of BCB. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, BCB shall pay to each former stockholder of Pamrapo who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of BCB Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder) an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the Average Closing Price by (ii) the fraction of a share of BCB Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof. As used herein, the term “Average Closing Price” means the average of the last reported daily sales price (or if no sale on such date, then the mean of the closing bid/ask price) per share of BCB Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“Nasdaq”), for the 10 consecutive trading days (the “Valuation Period”) ending on the fifth business day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Pamrapo for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid to BCB at the end of such time. Any stockholders of Pamrapo who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to BCB for payment of their shares of BCB Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares and unpaid dividends and distributions on BCB Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Pamrapo Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of BCB, Pamrapo, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Pamrapo Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g) 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 the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as BCB may 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 shares of BCB Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PAMRAPO

Prior to the date hereof, BCB has delivered to Pamrapo a Schedule and Pamrapo has delivered to BCB a Schedule (respectively, its “Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in Article III or IV or to one or more of BCB’s and Pamrapo’s covenants contained in Article V; provided, that (a) no such item is required to be set forth in a Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not be reasonably likely to result in the representation or warranty being deemed materially untrue or incorrect, and (b) the mere inclusion of an item in a Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by a party that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance.

No representation or warranty of Pamrapo contained in this Article III shall be deemed untrue or incorrect, and Pamrapo shall not be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty, as a consequence of the existence of any fact, circumstance or event unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances or events inconsistent with any paragraph of Article III, has had or is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined at Section 9.14), disregarding for these purposes (x) any qualification or exception for, or reference to, materiality in any such representation or warranty and (y) any use of the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms or phrases in any such representation or warranty. The foregoing standard shall not apply to representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (other than the last sentence of Section 3.1(a)) and Sections 3.1(c), 3.2, 3.3 and 3.11), which shall be deemed untrue, incorrect and breached if they are not true and correct in all material respects based on the qualifications and standards therein contained.

Subject to the foregoing paragraphs in this Article III, Pamrapo hereby represents and warrants to BCB as follows:

3.1. Corporate Organization.

(a) Pamrapo is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey. Pamrapo has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or the location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to

be so licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Pamrapo is duly registered as unitary savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933, as amended (the “HOLA”). The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Pamrapo, copies of which have previously been delivered to BCB are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word “Subsidiary” when used with respect to any party means any corporation, partnership, association, organization, trust or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, which is consolidated with such party for financial reporting purposes.

(b) Pamrapo Bank is in good standing as a savings and loan association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey and the rules and regulations of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “NJDBI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). In addition to the NJDBI, Pamrapo Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Pamrapo Bank has in effect all federal, state, local and foreign governmental authorizations necessary for it to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. The deposit accounts of Pamrapo Bank are insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid by Pamrapo Bank. Each of Pamrapo’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization. Each of Pamrapo’s Subsidiaries (including Pamrapo Bank) has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or the location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The governing documents of each Subsidiary of Pamrapo, copies of which have previously been delivered to BCB, are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) The minute books of Pamrapo and each of its Subsidiaries contain true, complete and accurate records in all material respects of all meetings and other corporate actions held or taken since December 31, 2003 of its respective stockholders and boards of directors (including committees of their respective boards of directors). Pamrapo has made available to BCB correct and complete copies of all minutes of the board of directors of Pamrapo and its Subsidiaries since December 31, 2003.

3.2. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Pamrapo consists of 25 million shares of Pamrapo Common Stock and 3 million shares of preferred shares, par value $.01 per share (“Pamrapo Preferred Stock”). No other capital stock is authorized. As of the date of this Agreement, there are (x) 4,935,542 shares of Pamrapo Common Stock issued and outstanding and 1,964,458 shares of Pamrapo Common Stock held in Pamrapo’s treasury; (y) no shares of Pamrapo Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options or otherwise except for 56,380 shares of Pamrapo Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Pamrapo Stock Plan and (z) no shares of Pamrapo Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Pamrapo Common Stock have been duly authorized

and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.2 of the Pamrapo Disclosure Schedules, Pamrapo does not have and is not bound by any outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments or agreements of any character calling for the purchase or issuance of any shares of Pamrapo Common Stock, Pamrapo Preferred Stock or any other equity security of Pamrapo. Schedule 3.2 of the Pamrapo Disclosure Schedule includes a complete and true list of all outstanding option awards, including persons to whom the awards were made, the exercise price of such awards and the vested and unvested awards, as well as a list of option awards intended to be granted following the announcement of the merger, subject to regulatory approval.

(b) Schedule 3.2(b) of the Pamrapo Disclosure Schedules sets forth a true and correct list of all of the Subsidiaries of Pamrapo and Pamrapo Bank as of the date of this Agreement, including the number of shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary.

The loan documents relating to each Loan maintained in the loan files of Pamrapo Bank were in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations at the time of the origination, assumption or modification of such Loan, as the case may be, except where the failure to so comply, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Pamrapo. The loan files maintained by Pamrapo Bank contain originals or true, correct and complete copies of the documents relating to each Loan and the information contained in such loan files with respect to each such Loan is true, complete and accurate in all material respects and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, except where the failure to so comply, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Pamrapo.

All of such Pools have been finally certified or, if required, recertified in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, except where the time for certification or recertification has not expired. To Pamrapo’s knowledge, no Pools have been improperly certified. The loan file for each Loan included in a certified Pool contains all documents and instruments necessary for the final certification or recertification of such Pool. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pamrapo nor the consummation by Pamrapo or Pamrapo Bank of the transactions contemplated hereby will require any Pool to be recertified.

A Pamrapo Acquisition Proposal which is received and considered by the Pamrapo board of directors in compliance with this Section 6.6(a) hereof and which meets the requirements set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Superior Proposal.” Pamrapo 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 Pamrapo Acquisition Proposals.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 6.9 hereof, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not actually prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly to the extent permitted by applicable state or federal law and regulation as statements therefore are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm except to the extent otherwise required due to conflicts) provided that the party seeking indemnification provides to the indemnifying party a written undertaking to repay such fees and expenses if the indemnified party is adjudicated to be not entitled to indemnification; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such

matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder to the extent that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations.

(d) If BCB or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of BCB or the surviving company shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9 hereof prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such transaction.

Neither Pamrapo nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of Pamrapo’s customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. BCB will hold all such information in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality

The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. Pamrapo will hold all such information in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated March 18, 2009, between Pamrapo and BCB (the “Pamrapo Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) All information furnished by BCB to Pamrapo or its representatives pursuant hereto shall be treated as the sole property of BCB and, if the Merger shall not occur, Pamrapo and its representatives shall return to BCB all of such written information and all documents, notes, summaries or other materials containing, reflecting or referring to, or derived from, such information.

(i) this Agreement is terminated by BCB pursuant to Sections 8.1(g) or by Pamrapo pursuant to 8.1(i)(y) hereof or;

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by (A) BCB pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(f) (except for a breach of Section 5.1(x) solely as its relates to the payment or settlement of the specified claims and amounts set forth at Pamrapo Disclosure Schedule 5.1(x)), hereof, (B) by BCB pursuant to Section 8.1(c) hereof (provided such delay is caused solely by Pamrapo), or (C) by BCB pursuant to Section 8.1(d) hereof (other than by reason of any breach by BCB) if Pamrapo has failed to obtain the required vote of its stockholders, and within six months of any termination pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C), a bona fide Pamrapo Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 6.6 hereof) shall have been publicly announced at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the taking of the vote of the stockholders of Pamrapo contemplated by this Agreement, at the Pamrapo Stockholder Meeting, in the case of clause (C), or the date of termination of this Agreement, in the case of clauses (A) or (B) and within six months after such termination Pamrapo either enters into a Pamrapo Control Transaction with such person or entity who made such Pamrapo Acquisition Proposal or consummates a Pamrapo Control Transaction with such person or entity who made such Pamrapo Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(ii) a person or entity who enters into a Pamrapo Control Transaction must be a party listed on Pamrapo Disclosure Schedule 8.2. As used in this Section 8.02(b)(ii), a “Pamrapo Control Transaction” means the acquisition by purchase, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or otherwise, in one transaction or any related series of transactions of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding securities of Pamrapo or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Pamrapo.

(c) In recognition of the efforts, expenses and other opportunities foregone by Pamrapo while structuring and pursuing the Merger, the Parties hereto agree that BCB shall pay to Pamrapo a termination fee of $2.5 million (the “BCB Termination Fee”) in the manner set forth in (i) and (ii) below if:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by (x) Pamrapo pursuant to Section 8.1(g) hereof or (y) by BCB pursuant to 8.1(i)(x) hereof; or

For purposes of this Section 8.2(c)(ii) a person or entity who enters into a BCB Control Transaction must be a party listed on BCB Disclosure Schedule 8.2. As used in this Section 8.2(c)(ii), a “BCB Control Transaction” means the acquisition by purchase, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or otherwise, in one transaction or any related series of transactions of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding securities of BCB or substantially all of the consolidated assets of BCB.

In the event the Pamrapo Termination Fee shall become payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or the BCB Termination Fee shall become payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c), the Pamrapo Termination Fee or BCB Termination Fee, as the case may be shall be paid within two business days following the date of termination of this Agreement or within two days of Pamrapo or BCB entering into an agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii) or Section 8.2(c)(ii) as the case may be. Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c) hereof shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving party. The sums paid under Section 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) shall be the sole remedy available to Pamrapo or BCB in the event of a termination of this Agreement under Section 8.2(b), if against Pamrapo or Section 8.2(c), if against BCB, and each of their respective Subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers under Section 9.4 hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(b)(i) or (ii) or 8.2(c)(i) or (ii) above, the parties shall pay the documented fees and expenses of the other party, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, if a terminating party enters into an agreement to be acquired by purchase, consolidation, sale, transfer or otherwise, in one transaction or any related series of transactions, a majority of the voting power of its outstanding securities or substantially all of its consolidated assets, within six months of such termination. Such payment shall become payable within two days after either Pamrapo or BCB (as the case may be) entering into an agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii) in the case of Pamrapo or Section 8.2(c)(ii) in the case of BCB. In the event that such agreement is with a party listed on Pamrapo Disclosure Schedule 8.2, this subsection shall not apply and Section 8.2(b)(ii) shall apply.

(e) Pamrapo and BCB agree that the agreements contained in Sections 8.2(b) and (c) hereof are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that

without such agreements the parties would not have entered into this Agreement and that such amounts do not constitute a penalty or liquidated damages in the event of a breach of this Agreement by either party. If Pamrapo fails to pay BCB the amount due under paragraph (b) above within the time period specified in this Section, then Pamrapo shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by BCB in connection with any action in which BCB prevails, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment. If BCB fails to pay Pamrapo the amount due under paragraph (c) above within the time period specified in this Section, then BCB shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Pamrapo in connection with any action in which Pamrapo prevails, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment.

8.3. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

9.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
