        <Explanation>VNSNY reviews its overall executive compensation program on a periodic basis. The last comprehensive review took place in 2012. The process for determining the individual compensation levels of VNSNY's top management, including the CEO, and all officers meets the three requirements of the rebuttable presumption under Treas. Reg. 53.4958-6. A Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of assisting the Board to fulfill its responsibility to VNSNY and the community to ensure the compensation is in accordance with VNSNY's policies. The Committee is comprised of 6 Directors who are independent of management and VNSNY and free of any conflicts of interest that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment. Prior to making compensation decisions, the Committee obtains and relies upon appropriate data as to comparability. The Committee retains an independent compensation consultant and utilizes local and national compensation surveys to assist in setting compensation levels. The Compensation Committee adequately and on a timely basis documents the basis for setting compensation with the making of the determination.</Explanation>
