outside directors. The plan is a non-qualified arrangement which offers participating directors the opportunity to defer compensation through a reduction in fees in lieu of a promise of future benefits. Such benefits are payable commencing at an age
mutually agreed upon by the Bank and the participating director (the &#147;Benefit Age&#148;). The benefits equal the account balance of the director annuitized over a period of time mutually agreed upon by the Bank and the director, and then
reannuitized at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter. Lump sum payouts are also available upon eligibility for distribution of benefits or in the event of the death of the director. The account balance equals deferrals and interest.
Currently, the plan credits interest on deferrals at a rate equal to the sum of (i)&nbsp;the &#147;Stable Fund&#148; investment option in the Bank&#146;s qualified 401(k) plan plus (ii)&nbsp;250 basis points. Early distribution of benefits may occur
under certain circumstances which include change in control, financial hardship, termination for cause, disability or termination of the plan by authorization of the Board of Directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Incentive Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;). The Plan is intended to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock (&#147;Shares&#148;) authorized for issuance through equity awards. As of March&nbsp;6, 2006, only 264,832 shares were
available for issuance under the Company&#146;s existing equity compensation plans, the Ocean Financial Corp. Amended and Restated 1997 Incentive Plan and the OceanFirst Financial Corp. 2000 Stock Option Plan. </FONT></P> <P

employees as defined below by providing for or increasing their economic interests in the success of the Company. The ability to grant equity awards in the future to attract people of experience and ability to serve the Company and its affiliates is
critical to sustain the Company&#146;s continued growth and success. The granting of equity awards advances the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing employees and non-employee directors upon whose judgment, initiative and
efforts the successful conduct of the business of the Company and its affiliates largely depends, with additional incentive in the form of a proprietary interest in the Company to perform in a superior manner. For these reasons, the Company wishes
to continue and enhance its equity awards </FONT>

is authorized to make all determinations and decisions thereunder. The Committee also determines the participants to whom Awards will be granted, the type and amount of Awards that will be granted and the terms and conditions applicable to such
grants. The Plan allows the Committee to grant Awards with respect to which the compensation realized by certain individuals may be deductible by the Company pursuant to section 162(m) of the Code, which limits the deductibility of compensation in
excess of $1 million paid to the CEO and each of the four highest paid individuals during the taxable year. Compensation attributable to Options is generally deductible by the Company and not subject to the limitations of section 162(m) if the Plan
is approved by shareholders, a committee satisfying the requirements of section 162(m) makes the grants, the Plan specifies the maximum number of shares with respect to which Options may be granted during a specified period of time and the
compensation received by the individual is based solely on an increase in the value of the underlying stock. Some, but not all, Awards granted under the Plan will meet these criteria and therefore, will not be subject to the limitations of section
162(m). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Participants</I></B><B>. </B>All employees and outside directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to whom the Committee

Shares subject to an Award that expires or otherwise terminates unexercised will generally again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares that will not be available for issuance or reissuance under the Plan include: Shares tendered by a

Bank and the Company entered into change in control agreements (&#147;CIC Agreements&#148;) with Messrs. Kelly and Nardelli, (the &#147;Executive&#148;). The CIC Agreement provides for a two-year term. Commencing on the date of the execution of the
Company&#146;s CIC Agreement, the term is extended for one day each day until such time as the Board of Directors of the Company or the Executive elects by written notice not to extend the term, at which time the CIC Agreement will end on the second
anniversary of the date of notice. The Company&#146;s CIC Agreement provides that in the event voluntary or involuntary termination follows a change in control of the Bank or the Company (as defined in the agreement), as to Mr.&nbsp;Kelly, the
Executive would be entitled to a severance payment equal to two (2)&nbsp;times the Executive&#146;s average annual compensation as defined in the CIC Agreement, for the five years preceding termination. Additionally, in the event the Executive has
been employed less than five years at the time of termination in connection with a change in control, the Executive&#146;s annual compensation shall be annualized for any partial taxable year of employment or service as if the Executive was employed
or served for the full taxable year. The Bank&#146;s CIC Agreement is similar to that of the Company. The Bank CIC Agreement provides that, upon each fiscal year-end, the Board of the Bank may extend the CIC Agreement for an additional year so that
the remaining term shall be two years, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by the Board of the Bank after conducting a performance evaluation of the Executive. However, any payments to the Executive under the Bank&#146;s CIC Agreement,
would be subtracted from any amount due simultaneously under the Company&#146;s CIC Agreement. The Company and the Bank would also continue and pay for the Executive&#146;s life, health and disability coverage for thirty-six (36)&nbsp;full calendar
months following termination. Payments to the Executive under the Bank&#146;s CIC Agreement are guaranteed by the Company in the event that payments or benefits are not paid by the Bank. </FONT></P> <P

executive officers. The Committee annually reviews and evaluates base salary and annual bonus recommendations made for executive officers by the Chief Executive Officer along with the rationale for such recommendations. The Committee also recommends
to the Board for approval the compensation for the CEO and Named Executive Officers. The CEO does not participate in the Committee&#146;s decision as to his compensation package. In establishing compensation levels, the Committee considers the
Company&#146;s overall objectives and performance, peer group comparisons and individual performance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Committee has adopted the
following goals in establishing executive compensation: (1)&nbsp;attracting, retaining and rewarding highly qualified and productive executives; (2)&nbsp;relating compensation to both Company and individual performance; (3)&nbsp;establishing
compensation levels that are internally equitable and externally competitive; and (4)&nbsp;providing motivation for the executive officers to enhance shareholder value by linking their compensation to the performance of the Company&#146;s Common
Stock. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company&#146;s compensation program for executive officers consists of (1)&nbsp;a base salary; (2)&nbsp;a performance-based
annual bonus; and (3)&nbsp;periodic grants of stock options. In addition, executive officers may participate in other benefit plans available to all employees, including the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the 401(k) Plan. To the extent that
benefits under these plans are limited by Internal Revenue Code restrictions, the Bank maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for executive officers. See &#147;Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan&#148;. </FONT></P> <P

benefits to provide their independent review of executive officers&#146; and directors&#146; compensation. The objectives of the independent review were to (1)&nbsp;assess the competitiveness of the Company&#146;s total compensation program for
executive officers and non-employee directors; and (2)&nbsp;review performance based cash and stock compensation practices among peer banks. The consultant compared base salary, benefits, annual incentive and long term compensation for each
executive officer to a peer group of banking institutions having similar characteristics as the Company. The final report of Clark indicated that the Company&#146;s total cash compensation benefits and long-term stock-based incentives were

Incentive Compensation Program (the &#147;Award Program&#148;), a significant portion of each executive officer&#146;s annual cash compensation is contingent on the performance of the Company, the Bank and the individual. The Award Program compares
actual performance against targets that are approved by the Human Resources/Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year. The targets are weighted between individual objectives (which may be subjective in nature) and the Company&#146;s
success in achieving its financial goals. During 2003 and 2004, no bonuses were paid to any executive officers as the Company failed to meet predetermined 2003 and 2004 Award Program performance goals for the Company. During 2005, two supplemental
bonus grants, one consisting of stock and options and one consisting of cash and options, were paid to the Executive Officers based upon the attainment of performance goals. In February 2006, a cash bonus was paid to the Executive Officers for
meeting pre-determined 2005 Award Program performance goals. This program is discussed further below under &#147;Chief Executive Officer.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

amended by shareholder approval on April&nbsp;24, 2003, (the &#147;2000 Stock Option Plan&#148;). The Committee believes that stock ownership by executive officers is a significant incentive in building shareholder value and aligning the interests
of executives with those of shareholders. The Committee takes into account the outstanding stock incentives when determining overall compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

evaluated by the Committee in determining the compensation of the CEO include the successful execution of capital management strategies, the achievement of targets of the Company&#146;s Business Plan, and the continued operation of the Bank in a
safe and sound manner. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Consistent with the Company&#146;s policy of linking compensation and performance, Mr.&nbsp;Garbarino also

the Committee at the beginning of the year. These goals are normally structured with a target level determined by the Committee, a threshold level which must be attained to fund any award and a superior level that is above the target level and tied
to a maximum award opportunity. As noted, in 2003 and 2004, no bonuses were paid to executive officers because the Company failed to meet the predetermined 2003 and 2004 Award Program performance goals for return on average equity. In 2005, a
supplemental bonus of 1,715 shares and 3,430 options with an exercise price of $23.70 and a supplemental bonus of $39,572 and 3,806 options with an exercise price of $20.795 </FONT>
