The purchase price payable in connection with a subscription for Capital Securities may be paid by certified, cashier's or personal check or money order payable to New York Bancorp Capital Trust. A Holder may purchase up to the same percentage of the Capital Securities offered in the Subscription Offering (rounded down to the nearest whole Capital Security) as the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned of record by such Holder (the "PRO RATA SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT") as of the Record Date. Based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, a Holder would be entitled to purchase pursuant to his Pro Rata Subscription Right .0938 of a Capital Security for each share of Common Stock held as of such date. Each Holder also is being given the opportunity to indicate on this Subscription Form whether such Holder wishes to purchase, in the event the Subscription Offering is not fully subscribed pursuant to the Pro Rata Subscription Rights, Capital Securities in excess of those allotted to him pursuant to his Pro Rata Subscription Right and the maximum amount of such excess Capital Securities such Holder seeks to purchase (the "EXCESS SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT"). In the event the exercise of the Excess Subscription Rights results in the Subscription Offering being oversubscribed, then the number of Capital Securities sought to be purchased by each Holder exercising Excess Subscription Rights will be reduced as described in the Prospectus. Holders who hold their shares of Common Stock through an account with a nominee should contact such nominee concerning the actions required for such Holders to subscribe for Capital Securities.
