, stock ownership, understanding of the Company’s business, relationships and associations related to the Company’s business, personal health and a willingness to devote adequate time and effort to Board responsibilities in the context of the needs of the Board at that time. The Board seeks individuals who reflect appropriate background, education, business experience, skills, business relationships and associations and other factors that will contribute to the Board’s governance of the Company. The Board will consider candidates proposed by shareholders and evaluates them using the same criteria as for other candidates. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a director candidate for consideration by the committee should send the name(s) and appropriate biographical information regarding the proposed candidate(s) to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the Company’s principal executive office, 171 Remington Boulevard, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779. A shareholder who wishes to nominate an individual as a director for election, rather than recommend the individual to the Board as a candidate, but does not intend to have the nominee included in our proxy materials, must comply with the advance notice requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Board’s Role in Managing Risk In general, management, particularly senior management and individual managers, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks the company faces. This includes identifying, assessing, and controlling threats to the organization’s capital, earnings, and operations, while the Board, acting as a whole and through the Audit and Finance Committee, has oversight responsibility for risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed
