                       GUIDELINES FOR REGISTERING STOCK

For reasons of clarity and  standardization,  the stock  transfer  industry  has
developed  uniform  stockholder  registrations  which  we  will  utilize  in the
issuance of your AFSALA  Bancorp,  Inc.  stock  certificate(s).  If you have any
questions, please consult your legal advisor. Stock ownership must be registered
in one of the following manners:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INDIVIDUAL Avod the use of two initials.  Include the first given name,  middle
           initial and last name of the  stockholder.  Omit words of limitation 
           that do not affect  ownership  rights  such  as  "special  account,"
           "single  man,"  "personal property," etc.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOINT     Jointownership  of stock by two or more persons  shall be inscribed on
          the certificate  with one of the following  types of joint  ownership.
          Names should be joined by "and," do not connect with "or". Omit titles
          such as "Mrs.,"  "Dr.," etc. JOINT TENANTS Joint Tenancy with Right of
          Survivorship and not as Tenants in Common may be specified to identify
          two or more owners where  ownership is intended to pass  automatically
          to the surviving tenant(s). TENANTS IN COMMON Tenants in common may be
          specified  to  identify  two or more  owners.  When stock is held in a
          tenancy in common,  upon the death of one co-tenant,  ownership of the
          stock will be held by the surviving  co-tenant(s)  and by the heirs of
          the deceased co-tenant. All parties must agree to the transfer or sale
          of shares held in this form of ownership.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REVISED   Stock  may be held in the name of a  custodian  for a minor  under the
UNIFORM   Revised Uniform Gifts to Minors (or, the Uniform  Transfers to Minors)
GIFTS     laws of the individual states. There may be only one custodian and one
TO MINORS minor designated on a stock certificate.  The standard abbreviation of
          custodian is "CUST," while the description  "Revised  Uniform Gifts to
          Minors  Act" is  abbreviated  "REV UNIF GIFT MIN ACT."  Standard  U.S.
          Postal  Service  state  abbreviations  should be used to describe  the
          appropriate state. For example,  stock held by John P. Jones under the
          New York Revised Uniform Gifts to Minors Act will be abbreviated. 

                     JOHN P. JONES CUST SUSAN A. JONES 
                     REV UNIF GIFT MIN ACT
