Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Articles VI and VII of the Certificate of Incorporation of BCB Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Corporation") set forth circumstances under which directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Corporation may be insured or indemnified
against liability which they incur in their capacities as such:
ARTICLE VI
Limitation of Liability
Subject to the following, a director or officer of the Corporation shall
not be personally liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for damages for
breach of any duty owed to the Corporation or its shareholders. The preceding
sentence shall not relieve a director or officer from liability for any breach
of duty based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of such person's duty of
loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) not in good faith or
involving a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulting in receipt by such
person of an improper personal benefit. If the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the
personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or
officer or both of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest
extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act as so amended. Any
amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation, or change in law which
authorizes this paragraph shall not adversely affect any then existing right or
protection of a director or officer of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
The Corporation shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and
agents and former officers, directors, employees and agents, and any other
persons serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director,
employee or agent of another corporation, association, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred in connection
with any pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to which such officer,
director, employee, agent or other person is party, or is threatened to be made
a party, to the full extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act. The indemnification provided herein (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of
any other right to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled
under any by-law, agreement, or vote of shareholders or disinterested directors
or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action
in any other capacity, and (ii) shall insure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, and the administrators of any such person. The Corporation shall have
the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person or persons enumerated above against any liability asserted
against or incurred by them or any of them arising out of their status as
corporate directors, officers, employees, or agents whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under
the provisions of this article.
The Corporation shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any
person referred to in this article the funds necessary for payment of expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in this article, upon receipt of a written undertaking by
or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that the director's
or officer's acts or omissions (i) constitute a breach of the director's or
officer's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) were not
in good faith, (iii) involved a knowing violation of law, (iv) resulted in the
director or officer receiving an improper personal benefit, or (v) were
otherwise of such a character that New Jersey law would require that such
amount(s) be repaid.

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement 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
thereof.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to rule 424(b)(1), or (4),
or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(3) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
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 thereof.
(4) 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of Bayonne, State of New
Jersey on December 14, 2005.

Re: BCB Bancorp, Inc.

------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested the opinion of this firm as to certain matters in
connection with the offer and sale (the "Offering") of the shares of common
stock, no par value per share ("Common Stock") of BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company"). We have reviewed the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Form S-1"), as well as applicable
statutes and regulations governing the Company and the offer and sale of the
Common Stock.
We are of the opinion that the Common Stock is duly authorized and, upon
the declaration of effectiveness of the Form S-1, the Common Stock, when sold,
will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to our firm being referenced under the caption "Legal
Matters" and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-1.
Very truly yours,
