Attention:        Mr. Kevin J. Lynch

        President and Chief Executive Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. (“Sandler O’Neill”) is pleased to act as financial advisor and marketing agent to Oritani Financial Corp., MHC (“OMHC”) and its subsidiaries, Oritani Financial Corp. (“OFC”) and Oritani Savings Bank (the “Bank”), in connection with the offer and sale of certain shares of the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of OFC to the Bank’s eligible account holders in a Subscription Offering and, under certain circumstances, to members of the Bank’s community in a Direct Community Offering and to the general public in a Syndicated Community Offering (collectively, the “Offering”). OMHC, OFC and the Bank are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” and their respective Boards of Directors are collectively referred to herein as the “Board.” This letter is to confirm the terms and conditions of our engagement.

Offering Advisory and Marketing Services

In connection with our engagement, we anticipate that our services would include the following services, each as may be necessary and as the Company may reasonably request:

1. Consulting as to the financial and securities market implications of the Plan of Stock Issuance and any related corporate documents;

2. Reviewing with the Board the financial impact of the Offering on the Company based on the independent appraiser’s appraisal of the common stock;

3. Reviewing all offering documents, including the Prospectus, stock order forms and

related offering materials (it being understood that preparation and filing of such documents will be the responsibility of the Company and its counsel);

4. Assisting in the design and implementation of a marketing strategy for the Offering;

5. Assisting management in scheduling and preparing for meetings with potential investors and broker-dealers; and

6. Providing such other general advice and assistance as may be requested to promote the successful completion of the Offering.

Fees

If the Offering is consummated, the Company agrees to pay Sandler O’Neill for its services a fee of one percent (1.00%) of the aggregate Actual Purchase Price of the shares of common stock sold in the Subscription Offering and Direct Community Offering, excluding in each case shares purchased by or on behalf of (i) any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company established for the benefit of their respective directors, officers and employees, (ii) any charitable foundation established by the Company (or any shares contributed to such a charitable foundation), and (iii) any director, officer or employee of the Company or members of their immediate families or entities owned or controlled by them. For purposes of this letter, the term “Actual Purchase Price” shall mean the price at which the shares of the Company’s common stock are sold in the Offering. All fees payable to Sandler O’Neill hereunder shall be payable in cash at the time of the closing of the Offering.

Syndicated Community Offering

If any shares of Common Stock remain available after the expiration of the Subscription Offering and Direct Community Offering, at the request of the Company and subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the second paragraph under the caption “Definitive Agreement” below, Sandler O’Neill will seek to form a syndicate of registered dealers to assist in the sale of such Common Stock in a Syndicated Community Offering on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in a selected dealers agreement. With respect to any shares of the Common Stock sold by Sandler O’Neill or any other NASD member firm under any selected dealers agreements in a Syndicated Community Offering, the Company agrees to pay: (a) the sales commission payable to the selected dealer under such agreement, and (b) a management fee to Sandler O’Neill of one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Actual Purchase Price of the shares of

		Boards of Directors Oritani Financial Corp, M.H.C. Oritani Financial Corp. Oritani Savings Bank July 26, 2006 Page 3

Common Stock sold in the Syndicated Community Offering. Sandler O’Neill will endeavor to limit the aggregate fees to be paid by the Company under any such selected dealers agreements to an amount competitive with gross underwriting discounts charged at such time for underwritings of comparable amounts of stock sold at a comparable price per share in a similar market environment, which shall not exceed 6% of the aggregate Actual Purchase Price of the shares sold under such agreements. Sandler O’Neill will endeavor to distribute the Common Stock among dealers in a fashion which best meets the distribution objectives of the Company and the requirements of the Plan of Stock Issuance, which may result in limiting the allocation of stock to certain selected dealers. It is understood that in no event shall Sandler O’Neill be obligated to act as a selected dealer or to take or purchase any shares of the Common Stock in the Offering.

Records Agent Services

In connection with the Offering, the Company agrees that Sandler O’Neill shall also serve as records management agent for the Company. In our role as Records Agent, we anticipate that our services will include the services outlined below, each as may be necessary and as the Company may reasonably request;

Each of these services is further described in Appendix A to this agreement.

Sandler O’Neill, as Records Agent hereunder, (a) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein; (b) will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value or genuineness of any order form or any stock certificates or the shares represented thereby, and will not be required to and will make no representations as to the validity, value or genuineness of the offer; (c) shall not be liable to any person, firm or corporation including the Company by reason of any error of judgment or for any act done by it in good faith, or for any mistake of law or fact in connection with this agreement and the performance hereof unless caused by or arising out of its own willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence; (d) will not be obliged to take any legal action hereunder which might in its judgment involve any expense or liability, unless it shall have been furnished with reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it; and (e) may rely on and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telex, telegram, or other document or security delivered to it and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties.

Expenses

Sandler O’Neill shall bear all of its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Offering and the Records Agent Services, including fees and disbursements of legal counsel to Sandler O’Neill. As is customary, the Company will bear all other expenses incurred in connection with the Offering and the Stock Information Center, including, without limitation, (a) the cost of obtaining all securities and bank regulatory approvals, including any required NASD filing fees; (b) the cost of printing and distributing the offering materials; (c) the costs of blue sky qualification (including fees and expenses of blue sky counsel) of the shares in the various states; (d) listing fees; (e) all fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisors; and (f) the operational expenses for the Stock Information Center (e.g. postage, telephones, supplies, etc); provided, however, that the costs of any temporary employees hired to assist in the Stock Information Center will be paid by Sandler O’Neill. In the event Sandler O’Neill incurs any such fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, the Company will reimburse Sandler O’Neill for such fees and expenses whether or not the Offering is consummated; provided, however, that Sandler O’Neill shall not incur any expenses exceeding $5,000 on behalf of the Company pursuant to this paragraph without the prior approval of the Company.

Post-Offering General Advisory Services

If the Offering is consummated, Sandler O’Neill agrees that, at the Company’s request, Sandler O’Neill will act as an independent financial advisor to the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the Company’s general strategic planning (“General Advisory Services”) for a period of five years following the completion of the Offering and no additional fee shall be payable to Sandler O’Neill for such services. In connection with such General Advisory Services, we would expect to work with the Company’s management, its counsel, accountants and other advisors to assess the Company’s strategic alternatives and help implement a tactical plan to enhance the value of the Company. We anticipate that our activities would include, as appropriate, those activities outlined in Appendix B hereto. Following the five-year period, if both parties wish to continue the relationship, the parties will enter into a separate advisory services agreement on terms and conditions to be negotiated at such time. If Sandler O’Neill acts as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with any specific transactions, the terms of such engagement will be set forth in a separate agreement between the Company and Sandler O’Neill and the fees to be paid will be determined by the Company and Sandler O’Neill at such time and will be competitive with industry standards at such time.
