(a) Covenantor agrees that while employed by the Holding Company and the
Bank, and during the twelve month period following the termination of such employment for any reason but in any event for a period of time no shorter than the thirty-six month period immediately following the Effective Time, Covenantor will:



(i) not, directly or indirectly (whether as
principal, agent, independent contractor, employee or otherwise), own, manage, operate, join, control or otherwise carry on, participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be engaged in or concerned with, any business
competitive with that of the Holding Company or the Bank or their affiliates (a Competing Business), provided that the Covenantor shall not be prohibited from owning less than 5% of any publicly traded corporation, whether or not such

affiliates; and

mail, by telephone, by personal meeting, or by any other means, either directly or indirectly, any customer or any individual or entity specifically identified as a prospective customer of the Holding Company or the Bank or their affiliates to
transact any Competing Business or to reduce or refrain from doing any business with the Holding Company or the Bank or their affiliates, or (y) interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or damage) any relationship between the Holding
Company or the Bank or their affiliates and any such customer or prospective customer (for purposes of clarity, the termination of Covenantors employment with the Holding Company or the Bank shall not by itself be treated as a violation of
this clause (y)).



(b) Covenantor understands and agrees that
money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or attempted or threatened breach of this Section 4 by Covenantor and that the Holding Company and its subsidiaries shall be entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance and
injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or threatened or attempted breach. Covenantor hereby consents to the granting of an injunction (temporary or otherwise) against Covenantor or to the entering of any other court order against

(c) In addition to the Holding Companys rights set forth in paragraph
(b) of this Section 4, in the event that Covenantor shall violate the terms and conditions of Sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement, the Holding Company or the Bank may terminate any severance payments payable by the Holding Company or the Bank, if
applicable, to Covenantor pursuant to the New Employment Agreement.



5. Entire Agreement; Modification.



This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between Covenantor, the Holding Company, Roslyn and Roslyn Bank with respect to the subject matter hereof and it is the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of our agreement with regard to this subject
matter hereof. It is entered into without reliance on any promise or representation other than those expressly contained herein, and it cannot be amended except in writing signed by all parties.



In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall,
for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. If, moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or
subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

in interest to the Holding Companys or the Banks business. This Agreement may not be assigned by Covenantor.
