Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	All shares reported as directly owned on separate lines of the most recent prior Form 4 have been combined. The reported total includes 12,500 shares of unvested restricted stock awarded under the Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which will vest in equal installments on each of January 23, 2011 and 2012 subject only to continued employment through the vesting date.
( 2)	Option grant, on July 21, 2006, to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan. 90,000 options have vested and the remaining 60,000 options will vest on July 21, 2011.
( 3)	Shares are held in the reporting person's account in the Hudson City Savings Bank Profit Incentive Bonus Plan.
( 4)	The reported transaction represents shares withheld by the issuer to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations of the reporting person upon vesting of common stock pursuant to Hudson City Bancorp, Inc.'s 2000 RRP.

Remarks:
Performance Stock Options grant, on 1/19/10, to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at $13.12 per share. These options have a 10-yr term ending 1/18/20 and become exercisable on 1/19/13. Performance Stock Option grant, on 1/23/09, to purchase 67,500 shares of common stock at $12.03 per share. These options have a 10-yr term ending 1/22/19 and become exercisable on 1/23/12. Performance Stock Option grant, on 1/25/08, to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at $15.69 per share. These options have a 10-yr. term ending 1/24/18 and become exercisable on 1/25/11. Terms may end earlier than 10 years in certain circumstances. Vesting is tied to satisfaction, by the exercisable dates, then certification of certain corporate performance measures specific to each grant, and continuous service by the reporting person through such dates. Under applicable SEC regulations, these option grants are reportable in Table II of Form 4 only if and when the performance conditions have been satisfied. The reporting person no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 600 shares of Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. common stock owned by his daughter and included in the reporting person's prior ownership reports.
