		(a)	Normal Retirement:  Monthly Benefits shall be paid monthly commencing on the first
day of the month following retirement upon reaching the later of the mandatory retirement ages set forth in the Bylaws of the Company

in Paragraph 8, death.

 

		(c)	Disability:  Monthly Benefits shall be paid monthly commencing on the first day

to engage in any substantial gainful activity or (b) the Eligible Director has been receiving income replacement benefits for a
period of at least three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Eligible Director’s employer,
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Association in accordance with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

		8.	All benefits payable to an Eligible Director pursuant to the Plan shall terminate with the monthly
payment made for the month that includes the date of death of the Eligible Director, unless the Eligible Director elects that benefits
be paid in one of the following optional forms:

 

		(a)	a single lump sum payment

 

		(b)	fixed monthly installments for 120 months

 

		(c)	a joint and 100% survivor annuity

 

Where the Eligible Director has made such
an election, benefit payments to a Beneficiary shall be made in accordance with the form of payment elected, and, if payments to
the Eligible Director have not yet begun, shall commence as of the first day of the month following the later of the date of the
Eligible Director’s termination of service on both the Boards of the Association and the Company or the date when the Eligible
Director would have attained age 65 if he had survived to such date.  An election of an optional form of payment shall
be in writing in the form and manner determined by the Board of Directors of the Association and must be made (i) within thirty
(30) days of the date the director first becomes an Eligible Director.  An Eligible Director who is also entitled to
a benefit under another plan for service as a director of The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB or Long Island Bancorp, Inc. shall
be deemed to have elected fixed monthly installments for 120 months.  An Eligible Director who is also entitled to a
benefit under another plan for service as a director of The Greater New York Savings Bank shall be deemed to have elected a joint
and 100% survivor annuity form of payment with his spouse as his contingent annuitant.  The amount of any optional form
of payment shall be determined by, and on the basis of, reasonable interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by an enrolled
actuary selected by the Board of Directors of the Association such that the actuarial present value of the payments made under
the optional form of payment are equivalent to the actuarial present value of the payments that would be made in the form of a
single life annuity.

 

Where an Eligible Director elects a form
of payment with a guaranteed minimum number of payments, the Eligible Director may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries for
any payments remaining to be made at the time of his death by filing a written notice with the Corporate Secretary prior to the
Eligible Director’s death, in such form and manner as the Corporate Secretary may prescribe.  An Eligible Director
who has designated a beneficiary or beneficiaries may change or revoke such designation prior to the Eligible Director’s
death by means of a similar written instrument.  Where an Eligible Director elects a joint and survivor annuity form
of payment, the Eligible Director may designate a contingent annuitant by filing a written notice with the Corporate Secretary
prior to the commencement of payments or the Eligible Director’s death (whichever is earlier), in such form and manner as
the Corporate Secretary may prescribe.  An Eligible Director who has designated a contingent annuitant may change or
revoke such designation prior to the commencement of payments or the Eligible Director’s death (whichever is earlier) by
means of a similar written instrument.  If no beneficiary shall have been designated or if any such designation

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

shall be ineffective,
or in the event that no designated beneficiary survives the Eligible Director, payments due to a beneficiary shall be paid in
a single lump sum to the Eligible Director’s personal representative, or if no personal representative is appointed within
six (6) months after the Eligible Director’s death or such longer period as the Board of Directors of the Association deems
reasonable in its discretion, to his surviving spouse, or if he has no surviving spouse, to his then living descendants, per
stirpes. If any Eligible Director and any one or more of his designated beneficiary(ies) shall die in circumstances that leave
substantial doubt as to who shall have been the first to die, the Eligible Director shall be deemed to have survived the deceased
Beneficiary(ies). The presence of substantial doubt for such purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Association
in its sole and absolute discretion. If the Eligible Director's designated contingent annuitant does not survive him, then no
survivor benefit shall be paid under a joint and survivor annuity form of payment.

 

In the event an Eligible Director dies prior
to the commencement of his Monthly Benefit without having elected an optional form of benefit that provides payments to a beneficiary
or contingent, a lump sum death benefit shall be payable to such person's designated beneficiary and, if there is no designated
beneficiary, to such person's surviving spouse and, if there is no surviving spouse, to such person's estate.  Such
payment shall be made within thirty days after the Eligible Director's death and shall be in an amount equal to the accrued pension
liability in respect of the Eligible Director calculated under generally accepted accounting principles and recorded on the books
of the Company and/or the Association.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to
the contrary, an Eligible Director may alternatively elect, in writing prior to January 1, 2009, that all benefits payable to him
after December 31, 2008 under this Plan and all other plans under which he is eligible to receive retirement benefits for services
as an outside director of the Association, the Company or their predecessors or successors, other than The Greater New York Savings
Bank Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors, be paid in a single lump sum at the later of January 1, 2009 or the benefit commencement
date specified in such plans.  Such an election shall have no effect on any rights of such Eligible Director to benefits
or services under The Greater New York Savings Bank Retirement Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

 

	9.	(a)	A
Change of Control means, with respect to an Eligible Director:  (a) a change in ownership of the Eligible Director's
Service Recipient; (b) a change in effective control of the Eligible Director’s Service Recipient; or (c) a change in the
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Eligible Director's Service Recipient.  Service Recipient means
with respect to an Eligible Director on any date:  (i) the corporation for which the Eligible Director is performing
services on such date; (ii) all corporations that are liable to the Eligible Director for the benefits due to him under the Plan,
but only if such benefits are due to the performance of service by the Eligible Director to the corporation or there is a bona
fide business purpose for such corporation to be so liable, and no significant purposes of such liability is the avoidance of Federal
income tax; (iii) a corporation that is a majority

any corporation in a chain of corporations each of which is a majority shareholder of another corporation in the chain, ending
in a corporation described in section (i) or (ii) above. The existence of a Change of Control shall be determined by the compensation
committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) in accordance with section 409A of the Code and
the regulations thereunder.

1, 2009), on the date thirty (30) days following the later of such  termination of service, or such Change in Control,

is then entitled under the Plan, where such present value is determined using the mortality tables prescribed under section 415(b)(2)(E)(v)
of the Code and a discount rate, compounded monthly, equal to the annualized rate of interest prescribed by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation for the valuation of immediate annuities payable under terminating single-employer defined benefit plans (or,
if no such rate is prescribed, the rate prescribed under section 417(e)(3) of the Code) for the month in which the Eligible Director’s
