(9) Acknowledgment and Signature I understand that, to be effective, this Stock Order Form must be received by ESSA Bancorp, Inc. by no later than 12:00 Noon, Eastern time, on , 2007, otherwise, this Stock Order Form and all subscription rights will be void. I agree that after receipt by ESSA Bancorp, Inc., this Stock Order Form may not be modified or canceled without ESSA Bancorp, Inc.’s consent, and that if withdrawal from a deposit account has been authorized above, the amount will not otherwise be available for withdrawal. Regulations prohibit any person from transferring or entering into any agreement directly or indirectly to transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of subscription rights, or the underlying securities, to the account of another. Under penalty of perjury, I certify that (1) the Social Security or Tax ID information and all other information provided hereon are true, correct and complete, (2) I am purchasing solely for my own account, and there is no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of the shares, or my right to subscribe for shares, and (3) I am not subject to backup withholding tax [cross out (3) if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding.] I acknowledge that this security is not a deposit or savings account, is not federally insured and is not guaranteed by ESSA Bancorp, Inc., ESSA Bank & Trust or by the federal government. If anyone asserts that the common stock is federally insured or guaranteed, or is as safe as an insured deposit, I should call the Office of Thrift Supervision’s Northeast Regional Office at (201) 413-0100. I further certify that, before purchasing the common stock of ESSA Bancorp, Inc., I received the Prospectus dated , 2007.

The Prospectus that I received contains disclosure concerning the nature of the common stock being offered by ESSA Bancorp, Inc. and describes, in the Risk Factors section beginning on page of the Prospectus, the risks involved in the investment in this common stock. Risks include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Future changes in interest rates could reduce our profits.

2. A downturn in the local economy or a decline in real estate values could reduce our profits.

3. Our continued emphasis on commercial real estate lending could expose us to increased lending risks.

4. Strong competition within our market areas may limit our growth and profitability.

5. If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings will decrease.

6. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has issued new rules on how it imposes deposit insurance assessments that will increase our deposit insurance assessments and will reduce our income.

7. The future price of the shares of common stock may be less than the purchase price in the stock offering.

8. We will need to implement additional finance and accounting systems, procedures and controls in order to satisfy our new public company reporting requirements.

9. Our return on equity will be low compared to other financial institutions. This could negatively affect the trading price of our shares of common stock.

10. The contribution of shares to the charitable foundation will dilute your ownership interests and adversely affect net income in fiscal 2007.

11. Our contribution to the charitable foundation may not be tax deductible, which could reduce our profits.

12. Our stock-based benefit plans will increase our costs, which will reduce our income.

13. The implementation of stock-based incentive plans will dilute your ownership interest.

14. We have broad discretion in using the proceeds of the stock offering. Our failure to effectively use such proceeds could hurt our profits.

15. Our stock value may be negatively affected by federal regulations that restrict takeovers.

16. The corporate governance provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and

the corporate governance provisions under Pennsylvania law may prevent or impede the holders of our common stock from obtaining representation on our Board of

Subscription rights pertain to those eligible to subscribe in the Subscription Offering. ESSA Bancorp, Inc. will pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event it becomes aware of the transfer of subscription rights, and will not honor orders known to involve such transfer.
