REVOCATION OF PROXIES

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stockholders who execute proxies in the form solicited hereby retain the right to revoke them in the manner described below.  Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting and all adjournments thereof.  Proxies solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in accordance with the directions given thereon.  Where no instructions are indicated, validly executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement for consideration at the Annual Meeting.  If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares represented by such proxies on such matters in such manner as shall be determined by a majority of the Board of Directors.

A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by sending written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at the address shown above, by delivering to the Company a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.  However, if you are a stockholder whose shares are not registered in your own name, you will need appropriate documentation from your record holder to vote personally at the Annual Meeting.  The presence at the Annual Meeting of any stockholder who had returned a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the stockholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the Annual Meeting or delivers a written revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the voting of such proxy.

                                                                                               VOTING PROCEDURES AND METHODS OF COUNTING VOTES

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, as of the close of business on September 10, 2010 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to one vote for each share then held.  As of the Record Date, the Company had 4,121,245 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (exclusive of Treasury shares), 2,304,632 of which were held by Greene County Bancorp, MHC (the “Mutual Holding Company”), and 1,816,613 of which were held by stockholders other than the Mutual Holding Company (“Minority Stockholders”).  The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.  Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present.  In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum, or to approve or ratify any matter being presented at the time of the Annual Meeting, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies. However, the presence by proxy of the Mutual Holding Company’s shares will assure a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

As to the election of directors, the Proxy Card being provided by the Board of Directors enables a stockholder to vote FOR the election of the three nominees proposed by the Board, to WITHHOLD AUTHORITY to vote for the nominees being proposed, or to vote FOR ALL EXCEPT one or more of the nominees being proposed.  Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, without regard to either broker non-votes or proxies as to which authority to vote for the nominees being proposed is withheld.

As to the ratification of ParenteBeard LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, by checking the appropriate box, a stockholder may: (i) vote FOR the ratification; (ii) vote AGAINST the ratification; or (iii) ABSTAIN from voting on the ratification.  The ratification of this matter shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast, without regard to broker non-votes or proxies marked ABSTAIN.

Management of the Company anticipates that the Mutual Holding Company, the majority stockholder of the Company, will vote all of its shares in favor of all the matters set forth above.  If the Mutual Holding Company votes all of its shares in favor of each proposal, the approval of each proposal would be assured.

Proxies solicited hereby will be returned to the Company and will be tabulated by an Inspector of Election designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors is chaired by Martin C. Smith, who is a non-executive director.This structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of Greene County Bancorp, Inc. and The Bank of Greene County and active participation of the independent directors in setting agendas and establishing priorities and procedures for the work of the Board.  The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company. The Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and sets the agenda for Board meetings and presides over meetings of the full Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of risks that could affect Greene County Bancorp, Inc.  This oversight is conducted primarily through committees of the Board of Directors, but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Board of Directors satisfies this responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within Greene County Bancorp, Inc., including credit, financial, operational, liquidity, legal and regulatory risks.  Risks relating to the direct operations of The Bank of Greene County are further overseen by the Board of Directors of The Bank of Greene County, who are the same individuals who serve on the Board of Directors of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.  The Board of Directors of The Bank of Greene County also has additional committees that conduct risk oversight separate from the committees of Greene County Bancorp, Inc.  Further, the Board of Directors oversees risks through the establishment of policies and procedures that are designed to guide daily operations in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations and risks acceptable to the organization.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

General.  The business of the Company is conducted at regular and special meetings of the full Board and its standing committees. The standing committees include the Executive, Nominating and Audit Committees. During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Board of Directors held 12 regular meetings and one special meetings.  No member of the Board or any committee thereof attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors (held during the period for which he has been a director); and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served (during the periods that he served). Executive sessions of the independent directors are held on a regularly scheduled basis; there were 12 such sessions during fiscal year 2010.

While the Company has no formal policy on director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, all directors are encouraged to attend.  All of the Company’s directors attended the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Executive Committee.  The Executive Committee consists of the entire Board of Directors.  The Executive Committee meets as necessary when the Board is not in session to exercise general control and supervision in all matters pertaining to the interests of the Company, subject at all times to the direction of the Board of Directors.  The Executive Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Nominating Committee.  The Nominating Committee consists of Directors O’Grady, Jenkins, Place and Slutzky. Each member of the Nominating Committee is considered “independent” as defined in the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Committee, which is available at the Company’s website at www.tbogc.com.  The Committee met one time during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

The functions of the Nominating Committee include the following:

·   to lead the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Board and to select director nominees to be presented for stockholder approval;

·   to review and monitor compliance with the requirements for board independence;

·   to review the committee structure and make recommendations to the Board regarding committee membership;

·   to develop and recommend to the Board for its approval a set of corporate governance guidelines; and

·   to develop and recommend to the Board for its approval a self-evaluation process for the Board and its committees.

The Nominating Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service.  Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are first considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining a new perspective.  If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service, or if the Committee or the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, or if the size of the Board is increased, the Committee would solicit suggestions for director candidates from all Board members.  In addition, the Committee is authorized by its charter to engage a third party to assist in the identification of director nominees.  The Nominating Committee would seek to identify a candidate who at a minimum satisfies the following criteria:

·   has the highest personal and professional ethics and integrity and whose values are compatible with the Company’s;

·   has had experiences and achievements that have given him or her the ability to exercise and develop good business judgment;

·   is willing to devote the necessary time to the work of the Board and its committees, which includes being available for Board and committee meetings;

·   is familiar with the communities in which the Company operates and/or is actively engaged in community activities;

·   is involved in other activities or interests that do not create a conflict with his or her responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders; and

·   has the capacity and desire to represent the balanced, best interests of the stockholders of the Company as a group, and not primarily a special interest group or constituency.

Finally, the Nominating Committee will take into account whether a candidate satisfies the criteria for “independence” under the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards, and if a nominee is sought for service on the audit committee, the financial and accounting expertise of a candidate, including whether the individual qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.  When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively, the Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors focused primarily on the information included in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors do not have a diversity policy.  In identifying nominees for directors, however, consideration is given to the diversity of professional experience, education and backgrounds among the directors so that a variety of points of view are represented in Board discussions and deliberations concerning the Company’s business.

There have been no material changes to these procedures since they were previously disclosed in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.

Procedures for the Recommendation of Director Nominees by Stockholders.  The Nominating Committee has adopted procedures for the submission of director nominees by stockholders.  If a determination is made that an additional candidate is needed for the Board, the Nominating Committee will consider candidates submitted by the Company’s stockholders. Stockholders can submit qualified names of candidates for director by writing to our Corporate Secretary, at P.O. Box 470, 302 Main Street, Catskill, New York 12414.  The Corporate Secretary must receive a submission not less than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the Company’s proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting. The submission must include the following information:

·   the name and address of the stockholder as they appear on the Company’s books, and number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are owned beneficially by such stockholder (if the stockholder is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership will be required);

·   the name, address and contact information for the candidate, and the number of shares of common stock of the Company that are owned by the candidate (if the candidate is not a holder of record, appropriate evidence of the stockholder’s ownership will be required);

·   a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience;

·   such other information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in the proxy statement pursuant to SEC Rule 14A;

·   a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and the Company;

·   a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any customer, supplier or competitor of the Company;

·   detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and

·   a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as a director if nominated and elected.

Submissions that are received and that meet the criteria outlined above are forwarded to the Chairman of the Nominating Committee for further review and consideration.  A nomination submitted by a stockholder for presentation by the stockholder at an annual meeting of stockholders must comply with the procedural and informational requirements described in this proxy statement under the heading “Stockholder Proposals.” No submission for Board nominees was received by the Company for the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder Communications with the Board.  A stockholder of the Company who wishes to communicate with the Board or with any individual director may write to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, P.O. Box 470, 302 Main Street, Catskill, New York 12414, Attention:  Board Administration.  The letter should indicate that the author is a stockholder and if shares are not held of record, should include appropriate evidence of stock ownership.  Depending on the subject matter, management will:

·   forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed;

·   attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about the Company or a stock-related matter; or

·   not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.

At each Board meeting, management will present a summary of all communications received since the last meeting that were not forwarded and make those communications available to the directors.

The Audit Committee. The Audit Committee consists of Directors Jenkins, O’Grady, Slutzky and Place. Each member of the Audit Committee is considered “independent” as defined in the NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards and under SEC Rule 10A-3. The Board of Directors has determined that Arthur Place qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee include, among other things:

·   retaining, overseeing and evaluating an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements;

·   in consultation with the independent registered public accounting firm and the internal auditor, reviewing the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting processes, both internal and external;

·   approving the scope of the audit in advance;

·   reviewing the consolidated financial statements and the audit report with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;

·   considering whether the provision by the external auditors of services not related to the annual audit and quarterly reviews is consistent with maintaining the auditor’s independence;

·   reviewing earnings and financial releases and quarterly reports filed with the SEC;

·   consulting with the internal audit staff and reviewing management’s administration of the system of internal accounting controls;

·   approving all engagements for audit and non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm; and

·   reviewing the adequacy of the audit committee charter.

The Audit Committee met six times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.  The Audit Committee reports to the Board on its activities and findings.  The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, which is available at the Company’s website at www.tbogc.com.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that is applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.tbogc.com. Amendments to and waivers from the Code of Ethics will also be disclosed on the Company’s website.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The independent directors of the Company, consisting of every director except for Donald E. Gibson, J. Bruce Whittaker and Charles H. Schaefer, meet in executive session to determine the salaries to be paid each year to the officers of the Company.

Executive Compensation

The Company’s philosophy is to align executive compensation with the interests of its stockholders and to determine appropriate compensation levels that will enable it to meet the following objectives:

·   To attract, retain and motivate an experienced, competent executive management team;

·   To reward the executive management team for the enhancement of shareholder value based on annual earnings performance and the market price of the Company’s stock;

·   To provide compensation rewards that are adequately balanced between short-term and long-term performance goals;

·   To encourage ownership of the Company’s common stock through stock-based compensation to all levels of management; and

·   To maintain compensation levels that are competitive with other financial institutions and particularly those in the Company’s peer group based on asset size and market area.

The Company considers a number of factors in its decisions regarding executive compensation, including, but not limited to, the level of responsibility and performance of the individual executive officers, the overall performance of the Company and a peer group analysis of compensation paid at institutions of comparable size and complexity.  The Company also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to the compensation of executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer.  The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer review the same information in connection with this recommendation.

The base salary levels for the Company’s executive officers are set to reflect the duties and levels of responsibilities inherent in the position and to reflect competitive conditions in the banking business in the Company’s market area.  Comparative salaries paid by other financial institutions are considered in establishing the salary for the given executive officer.  In setting salaries for fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors utilized bank compensation and benefits surveys compiled by the America’s Community Bankers as well as other survey prepared by trade groups and independent benefit consultants including Arthur Warren & Associates.  In setting the base salaries, the Board of Directors also considers a number of factors relating to the executive officers, including individual performance, job responsibilities, experience level, ability and the knowledge of the position.  These factors are considered subjectively and none of the factors are accorded a specific weight.

During the past fiscal year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors engaged Arthur Warren of Arthur Warren Associates, a compensation consultant, to advise the Compensation Committee on executive officer and director compensation.  The Compensation Committee instructed Mr. Warren to evaluate the design and adequacy of the Bank’s retirement programs and to develop competitive market comparisons and recommendations for certain senior executive officers.  Mr. Warren prepared for the Compensation Committee a report analyzing retirement benefits for senior executive officers.  In addition, with the assistance of Lawrence Swift of Effective Pay Practices, Mr. Warren prepared a report (i) updating Senior Executive Direct Cash Market Values to July 1, 2010; (ii) updating Outside Director Cash Compensation Program Market Values to July 1, 2010; (iii) discussing modifications to the Annual Short-Term Incentive Plan; and (iv) discussing the design of a new Long-Term Cash Incentive Plan.

Executive Compensation

The following table sets forth for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009  certain information as to the total remuneration paid by us to Mr. Gibson, who serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, and the two other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company and The Bank of Greene County other than Mr. Gibson (the “Named Executive Officers”).

(2)           Represents the grant date fair value, calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards “Compensation-Stock Compensation” for the stock option awards in fiscal 2009 (no option grants were made in fiscal 2010).  The assumptions made in the valuation of the awards are described in the footnotes to Greene County Bancorp, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements note 9 for the years ended June 30,  2010 and 2009.

Salary for the Named Executive Officers is paid pursuant to Employment Agreements, which are discussed below under “—Employment Agreements.”

Employment Agreements. Donald E. Gibson, Michelle M. Plummer and Stephen E. Nelson have each entered into an employment agreement with the Bank.  Mr. Gibson and Ms. Plummer’s employment agreements are substantially identical and were effective July 1, 2007.  Mr. Nelson’s agreement was effective July 1, 2008.  Mr. Gibson’s employment agreement provides for a base salary of $195,000, Ms. Plummer’s employment agreement provides for a base salary of $162,500 and Mr. Nelson’s employment agreement provides for a base salary of $125,000. Mr. Gibson and Ms. Plummer’s agreements have a term of 36 months from July 1, 2007 and Mr. Nelson’s agreement has a term of 24 months from July 1, 2008. Commencing on July 1, 2008, and continuing on each July 1st thereafter, Mr. Gibson and Ms. Plummer’s agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be 36 full calendar months.  Commencing on July 1, 2009, and continuing on each July 1st thereafter, Mr. Nelson’s agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be 24 full calendar months.  Each agreement shall renew for an additional year unless written notice is provided to the executive at least ten days and not more than 60 days prior to any such anniversary date that his or her employment shall cease at the end of 36 months (24 months for Mr. Nelson) following such anniversary date.  Prior to each notice period for non-renewal, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors (and the entire Board of Directors for Mr. Nelson) of the Bank will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and review of the executive for purposes of determining whether to extend the agreement.

Under each agreement, the executive’s base salary will be reviewed annually, and the base salary may be increased but not decreased.  In addition to the base salary, the executive will be provided all such other benefits as are provided uniformly to permanent full-time employees of the Bank. In addition, the Bank will provide the executive with employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which the executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit. The executive will be entitled to participate in or receive benefits under any employee benefit plans, including but not limited to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans, health-and-accident plans, medical coverage or any other employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank in the future to its senior executives and key management employees.

Each agreement provides for termination by the Bank for cause at any time. If the agreement is terminated for cause, the executive will not receive any compensation or other benefits from the Bank or the Company.

Under Mr. Gibson and Ms. Plummer’s agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, including resignation upon, among other things, failure to reappoint the executive to his or her office, a material diminution of the executive’s duties or a breach of the agreement by the Bank, or if the executive voluntarily resigns his or her employment on or after a change in control of the Company or the Bank during the term of the agreement, then the Bank is obligated to pay to the executive a lump sum equal to three times the sum of the then current base salary and the highest rate of bonus awarded to the executive during the prior three years. If such amount is determined to constitute an “excess parachute payment,” the amount would be reduced so as not to trigger an excess parachute payment.

Under Mr. Nelson’s agreement, if the executive’s employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause, death, disability or retirement, including resignation upon, among other things, failure to reappoint the executive to his or her office, a material diminution of the executive’s duties or a breach of the agreement by the Bank, then the Bank is obligated to pay to the executive a lump sum equal to one times the executive’s then current base salary. If such amount is determined to constitute an “excess parachute payment,” the amount would be reduced so as not to trigger an excess parachute payment.

In the event of Mr. Gibson or Ms. Plummer’s disability for a period of six months, the Bank may terminate the agreement, provided that the Bank will be obligated to pay the executive his or her base salary for the remaining term of the agreement or one year, whichever is longer (provided such payments are reduced to the extent of any disability insurance payments). In the event of Mr. Gibson or Ms. Plummer’s death during the term of the agreement, the Bank will pay his or her base salary to the named beneficiaries for one year following the date of death.  Mr. Nelson’s agreement does not provide any disability or death benefits.  In the event an executive retires, he or she will be entitled to any vested benefits under any retirement plan of the Bank.

Each agreement provides that, following the termination of the executive’s employment as a result of which the Bank is paying the executive termination benefits (other than termination upon a change in control), the executive will not compete with the Bank for a period of one year in any city or county in which the Bank has an office or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office.

The Bank adopted The Bank of Greene County Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), effective as of July 1, 2010.   The SERP will benefit certain key senior executives of the Bank who are selected by the Board to participate, including our Named Executive Officers, Donald E. Gibson, Michelle M. Plummer, and Stephen E. Nelson.   The SERP is intended to provide a benefit from the Bank upon retirement, death, disability or voluntary or involuntary termination of service (other than “for cause”).  Accordingly, the SERP obligates the Bank to make a contribution to each executive’s account on the first business day of each July and permits each executive to defer up to 50% of his or her base salary and 100% of his or her annual bonus to the SERP, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, the Bank may, but is not required to, make additional discretionary contributions to the executives’ accounts from time to time.  An executive becomes vested in the Bank’s contributions after 10 calendar years of service following the effective date of the SERP.  However, the Executive will vest in the present value of his or her account in the event of death, disability or a change in control of the Bank or the Company.  In the event the executive is terminated involuntarily or resigns for good reason following a change in control, the present value of all remaining Bank contributions is accelerated and paid to the executive’s account, subject to potential reduction to avoid an excess parachute payment under Code Section 280G.  In the event of the executive’s death, disability or termination within two years after a change in control, executive’s account will be paid in a lump sum to the executive or his beneficiary, as applicable.  In the event executive is entitled to a benefit from the SERP due to retirement or other termination of employment, the benefit will be paid in 10 annual installments.

Defined Contribution Plan. The Bank has adopted The Bank of Greene County Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) in order to permit the investment of Plan assets in common stock of the Company. Employees are eligible to join the Plan on the first of the month following completion of three months of continuous employment (during which 250 hours are completed).  The first year eligibility period runs from the date of hire to the anniversary of such date.  If an employee does not satisfy the eligibility requirements during such period then the next eligibility period shall be the calendar year.  Employees are eligible to contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to 25% of their eligible salary, in increments of 1%. Effective January 1, 2007, the Bank matched employee contributions dollar for dollar for the first 3% and then 50% of the employee contribution up to the next 3%.  In addition, the Bank may make an additional discretionary contribution allocated among members’ accounts on the basis of compensation.  All employee contributions and earnings thereon under the Plan are at all times fully vested.  A member vests in employer matching and discretionary contributions based on two year cliff vesting in order to take advantage of certain safe harbor provisions.  Employees are entitled to borrow, within tax law limits, from amounts allocated to their accounts.

Plan benefits will be paid to each member in a lump sum or in equal payments over a fixed period or in shares of employer stock upon termination, disability or death.  In addition, the Plan permits employees to withdraw salary reduction contributions prior to age 59-1/2 or termination in the event the employee suffers a financial hardship.  In certain circumstances, the Plan permits employees to withdraw the Bank’s matching contributions to their accounts. The Plan permits employees to direct the investment of their own accounts into various investment options.

At December 31, 2009, the market value of the Plan trust fund was approximately $3.8 million.  The total contribution (i.e., both the employee and Bank contributions) to the Plan for the Plan year ended December 31, 2009, was approximately $536,000.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Prior to April 2009, the Bank had participated in the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund, which was a qualified, tax-exempt multi-employer defined benefit plan (the “Retirement Plan”).  Effective April 2009, the Bank ceased its participation within the multi-employer plan and transferred the assets to a single-employer defined benefit pension plan (the “Retirement Plan”).  Benefits continue to be frozen at July 1, 2006 levels.  During fiscal 2006, the Board of Directors approved changes to the Retirement Plan.  Effective January 1, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Bank resolved to exclude from membership in the Retirement Plan employees hired on or after January 1, 2006 and elected to cease additional benefit accruals to existing Retirement Plan participants effective July 1, 2006.  All employees age 21 or older who have worked at the Bank for a period of one year in which they have 1,000 or more hours of service were eligible for membership in the Retirement Plan.  Once eligible, an employee must have been credited with 1,000 or more hours of service with the Bank during the year in order to accrue benefits under the Retirement Plan.  The Bank annually contributes an amount to the Retirement Plan necessary to supplement full funding requirements in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).

The regular form of all retirement benefits (i.e., normal, early or disability) is a life annuity with a guaranteed term of 10 years.  For a married participant, the normal form of benefit is a joint and survivor annuity where, upon the participant’s death, the participant’s spouse is entitled to receive a benefit equal to the computed value of such unpaid installments paid in lump sum.  Either the member or beneficiary may elect to have this benefit paid in the form of installments.  Where death occurs prior to a member’s benefit commencement, in no event shall the death benefit be less than the amount payable under the lump sum settlement options.  An optional form of benefit may be selected instead of the normal form of benefits.  These optional forms include various annuity forms as well as a lump sum payment after age 55.   Benefits payable upon death may be made in a lump sum, installments over 10 years, or a lifetime annuity.

The normal retirement benefit payable at or after age 65, is an amount equal to 1.5% multiplied by years of benefit service (not to exceed 30) times average compensation based on the average of the five years providing the highest average.  A reduced benefit is payable upon retirement at age 55 at or after completion of five years of service.  A member is fully vested in his account upon completion of five or more years of employment or upon attaining normal retirement age.

The following table indicates the annual retirement benefit that would be payable under the Retirement Plan upon retirement at age 65 in calendar year 2008, expressed in the form of a single life annuity for the average salary and benefit service classifications specified below.

___________________________

(1) No additional credit is received for years of service in excess of 30; however, increases in compensation after 30 years will generally cause an increase in benefits.

As of June 30, 2010, Mr. Gibson had 19 years, Ms. Plummer had 7 years, and Mr. Nelson had 17 years of credited service (i.e., benefit service) under the Retirement Plan, frozen as of July 1, 2006.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust.  The Bank has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Related Trust (“ESOP”) for eligible employees.  The ESOP is a tax-qualified plan subject to the requirements of ERISA and the Code.  Persons who have been employed by the Bank for 12 months during which they worked at least 1,000 hours and who have attained age 21, are eligible to participate.  The ESOP has borrowed funds from the Company and has purchased or been issued a total of 72,760 shares of common stock.  An additional 7,276 shares were issued to the ESOP as a result of the 10% stock dividend effective August 1999.  Accordingly, the ESOP originally owned 80,036 shares in total.  The ESOP had no undistributed shares in the Plan as of June 30, 2010.  When fully vested employees retire or leave the Company, they may take from the ESOP their portion of allocated shares or cash; as a result of this, the overall number of shares remaining in the ESOP has decreased.  The ESOP loan was paid in full in fiscal year 2008.  The common stock held by the ESOP was collateral for the loan.  The loan was paid principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP over ten years.  The interest rate for the loan was a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time.  Shares purchased by the ESOP were held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan was repaid.

Contributions to the ESOP and shares released are allocated among participants on the basis of compensation in the year of allocation, up to an annual adjusted maximum level of compensation.  Benefits generally become vested after three years of credited service.  Forfeitures will be reallocated among remaining participating employees in the same proportion as contributions.  Benefits may be payable upon death, retirement, early retirement, disability or separation from service.  The Company’s contributions to the ESOP will not be fixed, so benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated.

A committee consisting of David Jenkins, Dennis O’Grady and Paul Slutzky administers the ESOP.  The ESOP also has an unrelated corporate trustee who is appointed as a fiduciary responsible for administration of the ESOP assets and who votes the ESOP shares.  The committee may instruct the trustee regarding investment of funds contributed to the ESOP.  The ESOP trustee generally will vote all shares of common stock held by the ESOP in accordance with the written instructions of the committee.  In certain circumstances, however, the ESOP trustee must vote all allocated shares held in the ESOP in accordance with the instructions of the participating employees, and unallocated shares and shares held in the suspense account in a manner calculated to most accurately reflect the instructions the ESOP trustee has received from participants regarding the allocated stock, subject to and in accordance with the fiduciary duties under ERISA owed by the ESOP trustee to the ESOP participants.  Under ERISA, the Secretary of Labor is authorized to bring an action against the ESOP trustee for the failure of the ESOP trustee to comply with its fiduciary responsibilities.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End.  The following table sets forth information with respect to outstanding equity awards as of June 30, 2010 for the Named Executive Officers.

Stock Option Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan, which has been approved by the stockholders. Certain directors, officers and employees of the Bank and the Company are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan.  The Stock Option Plan is administered by a committee of outside directors (the “Committee”).  The Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant of stock options to purchase 181,898 shares of common stock (reflective of the 2-for-1 stock split effective on May 31, 2005).  The Stock Option Plan provides, among other things, for the grant of options to purchase common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, and options that do not so qualify (“nonstatutory options”).  Options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant.  The exercise price of the options must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the time of the grant.

Equity Incentive Plan.                                           The Company has adopted and shareholders have approved the Greene County Bancorp, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”) to provide officers, employees and directors of the Company and the Company’s affiliates, including the Bank, with additional incentives to promote the growth and performance of the Company.

The Equity Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 180,000 shares of Company common stock pursuant to the exercise by award recipients of grants of incentive and non-statutory stock options, and stock appreciation rights.  Employees and outside directors of the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plan, except that non-employees may not be granted incentive stock options.  Neither the Committee nor the Board is authorized to make any adjustment or amendment that reduces or would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of a stock option or a stock appreciation right previously granted.

The Equity Plan is designed so that stock options and stock appreciation rights will be considered performance-based compensation, whether or not such awards vest on the basis of satisfaction of specific performance measures.  It is expected that the grant of stock options and stock appreciation rights will be conditioned on the satisfaction of performance measures selected by the Committee.  Such performance measures may include earnings; financial return ratios; capital; increases in revenue, operating or net cash flows; cash flow return on investment; total stockholder return; market share; net operating income; operating income or net income; debt load reduction; expense management; economic value added; stock price; assets, asset quality level, charge offs, loan reserves, non-performing assets, loans, deposits, growth of loans, deposits or assets; liquidity; interest sensitivity gap levels; regulatory compliance or safety and soundness; improvement of financial rating; and achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives and strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific targets, such as business expansion goals and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. Performance measures may be based on the performance of the Company as a whole or of any one or more subsidiaries or business units of the Company or a subsidiary and may be measured relative to a peer group, an index or a business plan.

If the vesting of an award under the Equity Plan is conditioned on the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or its subsidiaries, without the achievement of performance measures or objectives, then unless otherwise determined by the Committee and evidenced in an award agreement, the required period of service for full vesting shall not be less than three years for a participant, subject to acceleration in the event of death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination of employment or service following a change in control of the Company.

Equity Compensation Plans.  Other than our employee stock ownership plan, we do not have any equity compensation plans that were not approved by stockholders.  The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s equity compensation plans effective June 30, 2010.

Directors’ Compensation

Directors of The Bank of Greene County (other than the Board and Audit Committee Chairmen) receive an annual retainer of $18,000 and a fee of $1,500 per Board meeting.  The Chairman of the Board receives an annual retainer of $30,000 and a fee of $1,500 per Board meeting.  The Audit Committee Chairman receive an annual retainer of $27,000 and a fee of $1,500 per Board meeting.  No separate compensation is currently paid to directors for service on the Board of the Company.  Directors of the Bank and the Company who are also employees of the Bank and the Company are not entitled to receive Board fees.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Bank paid a total of $273,000 in director fees.

Directors are eligible to participate in the 2000 Stock Option Plan, the 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.  On March 28, 2000, each outside director serving at that time was granted a non-qualified stock option to purchase 5,400 shares of common stock (reflective of a 2-for-1 stock split effective May 31, 2005). All granted options vested at the rate of 20% per year over a five-year period and are currently 100% vested.  The options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant, and the exercise price of the options must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant.

On March 28, 2000, restricted stock awards for 3,200 shares of common stock (reflective of a 2-for-1 stock split effective May 31, 2005) were granted to each outside director serving at that time.  These awards also vested in 20% increments over a five-year period beginning on the grant date and are currently 100% vested.

Directors are eligible to participate in the Equity Plan.  On August 19, 2008, each director was granted a non-qualified option to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock, except for directors Smith and Place, who were granted 7,000 options and 6,500 options, respectively. These grants vest as certain performance criteria are met.  As of June 30, 2010, the criteria for two-thirds of the options to vest were achieved.

Transactions with Certain Related Persons

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans available to its directors, officers and employees.  These loans are made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Bank.  Management believes that these loans neither involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor present other unfavorable features.

Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits an issuer from: (1) extending or maintaining credit; (2) arranging for the extension of credit; or (3) renewing an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan for an officer or director.  There are several exceptions to this general prohibition, one of which is applicable to the Company.  Sarbanes-Oxley does not apply to loans made by a depository institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is subject to the insider lending restrictions of the Federal Reserve Act.  All loans to the Company’s directors and officers are made in conformity with the Federal Reserve Act and applicable regulations.

In accordance with the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, any transactions that would be required to be reported under this section of this proxy statement must be approved by the Company’s Audit Committee or another independent body of the Board of Directors.  In addition, any transaction with a director is reviewed by and subject to approval of the members of the Board of Directors who are not directly involved in the proposed transaction to confirm that the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable as those that would be available to the Company from an unrelated party through an arms-length transaction.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the engagement of ParenteBeard LLC to be the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2011 fiscal year, subject to the ratification of the engagement by the Company’s stockholders.  At the Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the ratification of the engagement of ParenteBeard LLC for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.  A representative of ParenteBeard LLC is expected to attend the Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement, if deemed appropriate.

Set forth below is certain information concerning aggregate fees billed by ParenteBeard LLC for professional services rendered during fiscal years 2010 and 2009.

Audit Fees.  During the past two fiscal years the fees billed for professional services rendered by ParenteBeard LLC for the audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, for the review of the Company’s Forms 10-Q and for services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings were $132,400 for 2010 and $98,600 for 2009.

Audit-Related Fees.  During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, fees billed for professional services by ParenteBeard LLC that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit were $27,500 and $3,500, respectively.

Tax Fees.  During the past two fiscal years the fees billed for professional services by ParenteBeard LLC for tax services were $16,200 and $19,400 for 2010 and 2009, respectively.

All Other Fees.  During the year ended June 30, 2010, no other fees were billed to the Company other than those described above.  During the year ended June 30, 2009, $500 in fees were billed to the Company by ParenteBeard LLC that are not described above.

The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of its auditors.  The Audit Committee concluded that performing such services in fiscal 2010 and 2009 did not affect the auditors’ independence in performing their function as auditors of the Company.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.  Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget.  The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman when expedition of services is necessary.  The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.  All of fees paid in the audit related, tax and all other categories were approved per the pre-approval policies.

In order to ratify the selection of ParenteBeard LLC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the 2011 fiscal year, the proposal must receive at least a majority of the votes cast “FOR” or “AGAINST”, either in person or by proxy, in favor of such ratification.  The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of ParenteBeard LLC, as independent registered public accounting firm for the 2011 fiscal year.
