    BENEFITS TO
PARTICIPANTS

    

    3.01 Supplementa1 Retirement
Benefits

    

    (a) The Plan shall provide benefits in
excess of those that would be permitted by law under the Qualified Retirement
Plan, as amended, to the extent they would otherwise have been provided under
the Qualified Retirement Plan if the Internal Revenue Code ceilings on
compensation and benefits under tax qualified plans were not imposed. Benefits
shall be payable monthly from the general assets of the
Association.

     

    (b) Benefits shall be payable
commencing in the later of the month after the Participant's 65th birthday or
month following the month in which the Participant terminates employment unless,
within thirty (30) days after first becoming a Participant (or, if later,
December 31, 2008 with respect to benefits payable after December 31, 2008) the
Participant elects that payments begin at termination of employment or on a
specified date after termination of employment but before attainment of age
65.   Benefits shall be payable in the form of a single life
annuity for the life of the Participant unless, within thirty (30) days after
first becoming a Participant (or, if later, December 31, 2008 with respect to
benefits payable after December 31, 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    2008) the Participant elects that payments be made in another
optional form of payment permitted under the Qualified Plan or in a lump
sum.  Payments made in the form of an optional form of benefit or a
lump sum shall be determined using the applicable interest rate and mortality
assumptions in effect under the Qualified Plan when the benefit calculation is
made.

     

    (c) A Participant may elect that, in
the event of a change in control of the Association (within the meaning of
section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) any remaining benefits due to him
under the Plan shall be made in a single lump sum on the effective date of the
change in control, such lump sum to be computed on the basis of the interest
rate and mortality assumptions applicable under the Qualified Plan as of the
date of payment.  Such an election shall be made within thirty (30)
days after first becoming a Participant or, if later in the case of benefits
payable after December 31, 2008, no later than December 31, 2008.

     

    (d) Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary any benefit under the Plan that becomes payable due to a
Participant's termination of employment shall (a) if necessary, be deferred to
and payable on (or commencing on) the earliest date on which the Participant has
a "separation from service" (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code) and
(b) if the Participant is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of section
409A of the Code on the date of his separation from service shall be further
deferred to the first day of the seventh calendar month to begin after
separation from service.  The amount of any payments scheduled to be
made during the deferral period shall be paid, with interest at the rate of six
percent (6%) per annum, compounded annually from the scheduled payment date to
the end of the required deferral period, immediately following the end of any
required deferral period.

shall have the right to amend or terminate the Plan, in whole or part at its
sole discretion, at any time. Benefits accrued under the Plan as of the date of
any amendment or termination shall not be reduced, and such benefits shall
become nonforfeitable to the same extent that such rights would be
nonforfeitable if such benefits had been provided under the Qualified Retirement
Plan. If the Plan is terminated, the Association shall pay the accrued benefits

Section 3(36) of ERISA for the purpose of providing benefits in excess of the
limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In
addition, the Plan is intended to be a deferred compensation plan as
contemplated by Section 3(2) of ERISA for the purpose of providing benefits in
excess of the limitations imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Plan is not intended to comply with any other requirements of Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan shall be administered
and construed so as to effectuate this intent.

effect to such intent. In addition, the Plan shall be subject to amendment, with
or without advance notice to Participants and other interested parties, and on a
prospective or retroactive basis, including but not limited to amendment in a
manner that adversely affects the rights of participants and other interested
parties, to the extent necessary to effect such compliance.Unassociated Document

    BENEFITS TO
PARTICIPANTS

    

    
      3.01 Supplemental Retirement
Benefits

    

    

    (a) The
Plan shall provide benefits equal to the difference, if any,
between:

    

    
      i)
The
benefit payable under the Qualified Plan assuming the benefit formula in effect
on December 31, 1988 had not been changed, and

    

     

    ii)
The
benefit payable under the Qualified Plan based on the benefit formula in effect
on January 1, 1992.

    

    For
purposes of calculating amounts under (i) and (ii) above, the provisions of the
Qualified Plan shall be deemed not to reflect any of the limitations contained
in the Internal Revenue Code with respect to benefits payable or
compensation.

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    

    (b) Benefits shall be payable-commencing in the later of the month after the
Participant's 65th birthday or month following the month in which the
Participant terminates employment unless, within thirty (30) days after first
becoming a Participant (or, if later, December 31, 2008 with respect to benefits
payable after December 31, 2008) the Participant elects that payments begin at
termination of employment or on a specified date after termination of employment
but before attainment of age 65.   Benefits shall be payable in
the form of a single life annuity for the life of the Participant unless, within
thirty (30) days after first becoming a Participant (or, if later, December 31,
2008 with respect to benefits payable after December 31, 2008) the Participant
elects that payments be made in another optional form of payment permitted under
the Qualified Plan or in a lump sum.  Payments made in the form of an
optional form of benefit or a lump sum shall be determined using the applicable
interest rate and mortality assumptions in effect under the Qualified Plan when
the benefit calculation is made.  In the case of a payment election
after December 31, 2008 by a Participant who also participates in the Astoria
Federal Savings and Loan Association Excess Benefit Plan, any payment election
under this Plan must be concurrent with, and the same in all respects as, the
payment election under the Excess Benefit Plan.

     

               (c) A Participant
may elect that, in the event of a change in control of the Association (within
the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code) any remaining benefits
due to him under the Plan shall be made in a single lump sum on the effective
date of the change in control, such lump sum to be computed on the basis of the
interest rate and mortality assumptions applicable under the Qualified Plan as

    date of payment.  Such an election shall be made within
thirty (30) days after first becoming a Participant or, if later in the case of
benefits payable after December 31, 2008, no later than December 31, 2008.   In the case of a payment election
after December 31, 2008 by a Participant who also participates in the Astoria
Federal Savings and Loan Association Excess Benefit Plan, any payment election
under this Plan must be concurrent with, and the same in all respects as, the
payment election under the Excess Benefit Plan.

     

               (d) Notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary any benefit under the Plan that becomes
payable due to a Participant's termination of employment shall (a) if necessary,
be deferred to and payable on (or commencing on) the earliest date on which the
Participant has a "separation from service" (within the meaning of section 409A
of the Code) and (b) if the Participant is a "specified employee" (within the
meaning of section 409A of the Code on the date of his separation from service
shall be further deferred to the first day of the seventh calendar month to
begin after separation from service.  The amount of any payments
scheduled to be made during the deferral period shall be paid, with interest at
