Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

        In its originally filed Schedule 13D, the PL Capital Group disclosed that it acquired shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. In subsequent previously filed amendments, the PL Capital Group disclosed an intent to influence the policies of the Company, including encouraging the management of the Company to use its excess capital to aggressively repurchase its Common Stock. The PL Capital Group believes that the Company should allocate at least $20 million to repurchase its shares.

        Members of the PL Capital Group may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock, although the PL Capital Group has no present intention of increasing PL Capital Group’s aggregate holdings above 9.999% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. Members of the PL Capital Group may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.

        In its previous filing, the PL Capital Group stated that it intended to encourage the management of the Company to use its excess capital to aggressively repurchase its Common Stock, in an amount at least equal to $20 million. The PL Capital Group also noted in that filing that it believed that the Company had incorrectly calculated the number of shares outstanding on its most recent SEC filing, due to the deduction of 363,037 shares held by one of its management/director benefit plans.


CUSIP No. 152418109 Page 26 of 43 Pages

        On December 16, 2005 members of the PL Capital Group talked to members of the Company’s senior management team, including CEO John Fiore, COO Kevin McCloskey and CFO Rich Abrahamian. Three primary topics were discussed, including (1) the proper calculation of outstanding shares, (2) stock buybacks and (3) board representation for the PL Capital Group.

        During such discussions, the Company’s management stated that they would look into the issue regarding calculation of outstanding shares and would correct such amount if their revised calculations produced an amount which differed from the amount previously reported. On December 20, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K which noted the error and corrected the number of shares outstanding.

        With regard to stock buybacks, the PL Capital Group expressed its disappointment with the amount and frequency of the Company’s stock buybacks. The PL Capital Group encouraged management to:

  reduce the number of shares outstanding to approximately 10 million shares, as soon as practical, through aggressive buybacks;

  free up capital for stock buybacks by reducing non-core assets (namely investment and mortgage backed securities) and liabilities (namely borrowed funds);

  maintain a balance sheet that is funded primarily with deposits and to only grow the loan portfolio if it is proportional to deposit funding (maintaining a 130% loan to deposit ratio was suggested); and

  evaluate the benefits of buybacks by measuring the accretion to franchise value per share, rather than simply near term earnings accretion.

        Management of the Company noted that stock buybacks are arguably dilutive to current earnings. The PL Capital Group noted that the only reason such argument would be correct is that the Company’s Return on Equity (ROE) is only 4% (an amount lower than the current yields on unencumbered cash). The PL Capital Group noted if a 4% ROE is all that the Company is capable of generating, then management has an obligation to return capital to shareholders, regardless of whether it is accretive to short term earnings.

        The PL Capital Group also asked management to request that the Company’s board of directors appoint Richard Lashley and John Palmer to the board. Management noted that they would submit such request to the Company’s board of directors.


CUSIP No. 152418109 Page 27 of 43 Pages

        On December 22, 2005, CEO John Fiore notified Messrs. Lashley and Palmer that the board had rejected the PL Capital Group’s request for board seats. Mr. Fiore noted the board’s concerns over additional board fees. The PL Capital Group noted that a costly proxy contest would certainly be more expensive than additional board fees. Also, as the company’s largest shareholder, the PL Capital Group argued that it deserved representation on the board. The PL Capital Group also noted that it could be easily outvoted if the other board members did not agree with their positions. Mr. Fiore noted that the board had fully understood the ramifications of rejecting the PL Capital Group’s request (in terms of a likely proxy contest and possible litigation over the Company’s by-laws, which restrict board members to residency in counties in which the Company has branches). In order to avoid a costly proxy contest, the PL Capital Group offered to accept one board seat for Mr. Lashley, who has lived and worked in the Company’s market area for over 20 years (and currently resides in an adjoining county, Somerset County). Mr. Fiore said that the board had anticipated that offer and rejected that compromise as well. The PL Capital Group informed Mr. Fiore that it was disappointed in the board’s unreasonable rejection of the PL Capital Group’s request and that the PL Capital Group would be left with no choice but to pursue board representation via proxy contest in connection with the upcoming annual meeting.

        The PL Capital Group currently intends to nominate two members to serve on the Company’s board of directors, in opposition to the Company’s anticipated nominees. The Company has three incumbent members whose terms expire in 2006, including CEO John Fiore, Nancy Davis and W. Phillip Scott.

        In a letter dated January 10, 2006, from Mr. Lashley to the Company, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto, Mr. Lashley, on behalf of the PL Capital Group, demanded a list of the shareholders of the Company and related shareholder information.

        In a letter dated January 16, 2006, from the Company to Mr. Lashley, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3 hereto, the Company denied such request.

        In a letter dated January 18, 2006, from Mr. Lashley to the Company, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 hereto, Mr. Lashley, on behalf of the PL Capital Group, expressed disappointment that the Company had wrongfully denied the request for the shareholder materials, and indicated that the request would be resubmitted. The resubmitted request letter is attached as Exhibit 5 hereto.

        In a letter dated January 20, 2006, from the Company to Mr. Palmer, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 6 hereto, the Company agreed to make such shareholder information available for inspection, but stipulated that no copies of any such information, or any facilities to make copies or other reproductions of such information would be made available. In addition, the Company requires that Mr. Lashley, as agent for Mr. Palmer and the PL Capital Group, execute a confidentiality agreement before the requested materials would be made available for inspection.

        Counsel for the PL Capital Group contacted counsel for the Company by phone to request that copies be provided, or facilities to make copies made available, to the PL Capital Group, which request was denied.


CUSIP No. 152418109 Page 28 of 43 Pages

        In a letter dated January 31, 2006, from Mr. Palmer to the Company, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7 hereto, Mr. Palmer, on behalf of himself and the PL Capital Group, gave notice to the Company of his intent to nominate Mr. Daniel Spiegel and Mr. Daniel Eliades for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company. Mr. Spiegel's and Mr. Eliades' eligibility certificate and consent to serve as a director of Synergy Financial, if elected, are attached hereto as Exhibits 8 and 9, respectively.

        To the extent the actions described herein may be deemed to constitute a “control purpose” with respect to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations thereunder, the PL Capital Group has such a purpose. Except as noted in this Schedule 13D, no member of the PL Capital Group has any plans or proposals, which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j), inclusive of Item (4) of Schedule 13D. Such individuals may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Company

        The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, 11,545,881, reported as the number of outstanding shares as of December 31, 2005, on the Company’s Form 8-K filed January 18, 2006.

  Re: Demand For Stock Ledger and Stockholder List(s)

Dear Mr. Fiore:

        Pursuant to Section 14A:5-28 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “Act”) and Section 7 of the Bylaws of Synergy Financial Group, Inc.

I hereby certify to Synergy Financial that I am the holder of 1,140,417 shares of the common stock of Synergy Financial, or 9.7% of the total shares outstanding, as reflected on the attached copy of the Form 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2005.

        In connection with the foregoing demand, I further demand the opportunity to inspect and copy the following, updated as of the date of this letter, all of which should be in the possession of Synergy Financial or one of its agents:

2. All information in Synergy Financial’s possession and/or subject to its direction or control and/or which can be obtained from nominees of any central depository system relating to the breakdown of all brokerage and financial institutions holding shares for their customers in street name and a breakdown of holdings which appear on the corporate stock ledger under the names of any central depository system (e.g., Cede & Co.).

3. A list of the names, addresses and securities positions of non-objecting beneficial owners and acquiescing beneficial owners obtained by Synergy Financial from brokers and dealers pursuant to the applicable rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If such list is not available as of a recent date, such list should be requested.

4. A list of the names and addresses of employee participants in any stock ownership plan of Synergy Financial as of the date of the shareholder list.

5. The Pershing/DLJ omnibus proxy list.

6. The Philadep omnibus proxy list.

7. Any other omnibus proxies produced by ADP for client banks or brokers, listing among other things any respondent positions.

        I further demand that modifications of, additions to or deletions from, any and all information referenced above subsequent to the date of the shareholder list referred to above be furnished to me as and when the same becomes available to Synergy Financial or its agents or representatives. In the event any or all of the information encompassed by this demand is available in the form of computer tape or other medium suitable for use by computer or word processor, I demand inspection and copying of such computer tape or other medium as well as any program, software, manual or other instructions necessary for the practical use of such information.

        I will bear the reasonable costs incurred by Synergy Financial (including those of its transfer agent(s)) in connection with the production of the information with regard to which demand is made herein.

        The purposes for requesting such inspection and copying are to communicate with shareholders regarding the opportunities for Synergy Financial to facilitate a possible solicitation of proxies in connection with the upcoming 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

        Under section 7 of Synergy Financial’s bylaws and Section 14A:5-28 of the Act, Synergy Financial is required to permit inspection of its record of shareholders within 5 days after receiving this letter. Please advise me at 973-360-1666, or my counsel, Phillip M. Goldberg of Foley & Lardner LLP, 321 North Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois 60610 (telephone number: 312-832-4549), as to when the items sought will be made available, and in what form.

Demand for Shareholder List

Dear Mr. Lashley:

        We are in receipt of your letter dated January 10, 2006, among other things, demanding the opportunity to inspect the Company’s current list of shareholders and stock ledger and to make copies of, or extracts from, such list.

        Under Section 14A:5-28(3) of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, shareholders of record of a corporation who have been shareholders of record for at least six months or who own at least 5% of the corporation’s outstanding shares are entitled, upon written demand stating a proper purpose, during usual business hours, to examine in person and make extracts from the corporation’s record of shareholders. Our official list of shareholders does not indicate that you meet the requirements of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act and, therefore, we are unable to grant you access at this time to the records you requested. If you wish to resubmit your request, we will again consider it once you demonstrate compliance with the relevant New Jersey law.

  Sincerely,

/s/ John S. Fiore

Dear John:

I was disappointed that Synergy chose to deny our previous demand letter dated January 10, 2006. You know that we are the holders of more than 5% of Synergy Financial.

Notwithstanding the fact that we are entitled to the records demanded on January 10, 2006, by virtue of our beneficial ownership, and could easily enforce our rights in a lawsuit, we are resubmitting the attached demand letter. The signed letter will arrive, to your attention, by overnight mail tomorrow.

I look forward to hearing from you as to how and when the demanded materials will be made available to us within the 5 days required by law.

Sincerely,
