          This Amendment No. 1 to the Northfield Bank Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”) is made effective as of the 1st day of January, 2008, unless otherwise set forth
herein.



          WHEREAS, Northfield Bank (the “Employer”) adopted the Plan, effective January 1, 2005; and



          WHEREAS, the Employer desires to revise the Plan to comply with certain technical requirements
of the final Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, in April 2007.



          NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as specifically provided herein, it being
understood and agreed that except with respect to the amendments specifically provided for herein,
the remaining terms of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect:




	1.	 	Section 2.11 is hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	“Benefit Eligibility Date” means the date on which the Participant is entitled to receive
his or her Deferred Compensation, which shall be the earlier of the occurrence of the events
described in Sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, or 7.5.
	 
	2.	 	Section 2.13(B) shall be revised to change the reference to “35% or more of the total voting
power” to a reference to “30% or more of the total voting power.”
	 
	3.	 	The following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 2.21 to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	Disabled shall also refer to a determination by the Social Security Administration that the
Participant is totally disabled.
	 
	4.	 	Section 2.42 shall be amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence
thereof:
	 
	 	 	An “unforeseeable emergency” shall also include a severe financial hardship to the
Participant resulting from illness or an accident of the Participant’s Beneficiary.
	 
	5.	 	The last sentence of Section 7.1 is hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	If a Participant does not provide such advance written notice, the Administrator may delay,
in his or her sole discretion, the initial installment or single lump-sum payment for such
additional period of time as he or she shall require, but in no event shall such delay
extend beyond 90 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service, except as
required by Section 7.10 hereof.




 









 






	6.	 	Section 7.4 is hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, upon submission by a Participant of documentation
specified by the Administrator in support of establishing an Unforeseeable Emergency, and
acceptable to the Administrator in establishing such severe financial hardship, Plan
payments in an amount determined by the Administrator and consistent with Section 2.42 shall
be distributed to the Participant in a single cash lump sum distribution within 30 days.
	 
	7.	 	Section 7.7 is hereby amended to read as follows:






(a) Time of Payment. Participant’s Deferred Compensation shall be payable within 90
days following the Participant’s Benefit Eligibility Date, unless the Participant elects a
specified date of commencement in accordance with Section 7.6.




(b) Form of Payment. Payments of Deferred Compensation shall made according to
whichever of the following payment choices the Participant shall designate in his or her
Deferred Compensation Distribution Election Form:




     (1) in a single cash lump sum distribution, in which case the amount of payment shall
be equal to the amount of the entire balance credited to the Participant’s account as of the
last Accounting Date before the Participant’s Benefit Eligibility Date.




     (2) in such number of annual installment payments (not to exceed fifteen such payments)
as the Participant shall specify in his or her Deferred Compensation Distribution Election
Form, in which case the amount of each payment shall be determined as of the last Accounting
Date before the Participant’s Benefit Eligibility Date (or, in the case of the second and
subsequent installments, the anniversary of such date) and shall be equal to the quotient of
(A) the entire amount then credited to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation account,
divided by (B) the number of installment payments remaining to be made.




Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant must elect the form of payment in his or her
Deferred Compensation Distribution Election Form prior to the deferral of the Deferred
Compensation to which it relates, or if made later, then such election must comply with
Section 7.9 hereof. If the Participant fails to designate a payment schedule in his or her
Deferred Compensation Distribution Election Form, or if the entire balance credited to the
Participant’s Deferred Compensation account as of the last Accounting Date prior to the
Benefit Eligibility Date is less than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section
402(g)(1), then payment shall be made in a single cash lump sum distribution.

	8.	 	The following is hereby added to the end of Section 7.9 to read as follows:

without any restrictions provided above, provided that such change is made on or before
December 31, 2008.
	 
	9.	 	Section 7.10 is hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	In the case of a Plan distribution to a Key Employee on account of Separation from Service
(other than due to death or being Disabled), any payments to which the Participant is
entitled for the first 6 months following his or her Separation from Service shall be held
and shall be paid to the Participant on the first day of the seventh month following the
Participant’s Separation from Service.
	 
	10.	 	Section 10.3 is hereby amended to read as follows:






(a) Effective January 1, 2008 and except as set forth in sub-section 10.3(e) hereof, the
Savings Benefit payable to an eligible Participant in accordance with Article 9, shall be
equal to the value of all amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Credit Account,
payable in accordance with a Participant’s Defined Contribution Distribution Election Form
and this Section 10.3.




(b) Time of Payment. Participant’s Savings Benefit shall be payable within 90 days

Account as of the last Accounting Date before the Participant’s Benefit Eligibility Date.




     (2) in such number of annual installment payments (not to exceed fifteen such payments)
as the Participant shall specify in his or her Defined Contribution Distribution Election
Form, in which case the amount of each payment shall be determined as of the last Accounting
Date before the Participant’s Benefit Eligibility Date (or, in the case of the second and

Defined Contribution Distribution Election Form by December 31, 2008 or within thirty (30)

payment schedule in his or her Defined Contribution Distribution Election Form, or if the
entire balance credited to the Participant’s Deferral Credit Account as of the last
Accounting Date prior to the Benefit Eligibility Date (when aggregated with the
Participant’s balance under all other plans with which this benefit must be aggregated) is
less than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)), then payment shall be
made in a single cash lump sum distribution.




(e) Payment during Transition Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to
the contrary, in the event that a Participant has a Separation from Service during the
transition period under Code Section 409A, the Participant’s Supplemental Savings Benefit
shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Northfield Savings Bank Non-Qualified
Deferred Compensation Plan, dated April 12, 2004 (As Amended and Restated Effective January

	 	 	With respect to Savings Benefits, all amounts credited to the Participant’s Deferral Credit
Account shall be payable to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, as a Supplemental
Surviving Spouse Benefit, in accordance with Sections 10.3 and 11.2.

	14.	 	Section 14.2(c) is hereby amended to read as follows:
	 
	 	 	The Board may terminate the Plan provided that (i) the termination and liquidation does not
occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Employer, (ii) all arrangements
sponsored by the Employer that would be aggregated with this Plan under Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-1(c) if the Participant covered by this Plan was also covered by any of those
other arrangements are also terminated; (iii) no payments other than payments that would be
payable under the terms of the arrangement if the termination had not occurred are made
within 12 months of the termination of the arrangement; (iv) all payments are made within 24
months of the termination of the arrangements; and (v) the Employer does not adopt a new
arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated arrangement under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if the Participant participated in both arrangements, at any
time within three years following the date of termination of the arrangement.
	 
	15.	 	Section 15.7 shall be added to read as follows:






	 	15.7	 	Tax Withholding and Payment of Code Section 409A Taxes.






The Employer may withhold from any benefits payable under this Plan all federal, state,
city, or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation
that is in effect. This Plan shall also permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of a
payment to pay taxes as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay
any taxes that may become due at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the
requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated
thereunder. In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the amount required to be
included in income as the result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code
Section 409A.




	16.	 	Section 15.8 shall be added to read as follows:






	 	15.8	 	Acceleration of Payments.






Except as specifically permitted herein or in other sections of this Plan, no acceleration
of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Employer, in accordance with the
provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent guidance issued
by the United States Treasury Department. Accordingly, payments may be accelerated, in
accordance with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent
guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations
orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the Federal government; (iii) in
compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in the case of certain
distributions to avoid a non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (v) to apply certain
offsets in satisfaction of a debt of the Participant to the Employer; (vi) in satisfaction
of certain bona fide disputes between the Participant and the Employer; or (vii) for any
other purpose set forth in the Treasury Regulations and subsequent guidance.”
