Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE ASPCA BOARD IS THE AUTHORIZED COMPENSATION SETTING BODY THAT REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION OF THE "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" OF THE ASPCA. SALARY AND BENEFITS PAID TO MATTHEW BERSHADKER WAS DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF THE ASPCA COMPENSATION PROCESS. THE ASPCA ENGAGES AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION EXPERT TO CONDUCT A COMPENSATION STUDY TO ASSESS THE REASONABLENESS OF EACH "DISQUALIFIED PERSON'S" TOTAL COMPENSATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF SECTION 4958 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE COMPENSATION EXPERT ASSESSES THE REASONABLENESS OF EACH PERSON'S TOTAL COMPENSATION BASED ON COMPARABILITY DATA FOR THE POSITIONS UNDER REVIEW AND PROVIDES SUCH DATA AND ANALYSIS TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR ITS REVIEW. THE COMPARABILITY DATA IS DRAWN FROM INDUSTRY SURVEYS AND DATA SOURCES FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS IN ORGANIZATIONS OF SIMILAR SCOPE, OPERATING BUDGET, AND TYPE. WITH RESPECT TO "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" OTHER THAN THE PRESIDENT & CEO, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION EXPERT'S STUDY AND COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S ANALYSIS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL'S PERFORMANCE, DELIBERATES, AND VOTES ON WHETHER TO APPROVE THE TOTAL COMPENSATION RECOMMENDATION PROPOSED BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. WITH RESPECT TO THE PRESIDENT & CEO, THE AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE COMPENSATION EXPERT'S STUDY AND COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S ANALYSIS OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S PERFORMANCE, DELIBERATES, AND VOTES ON A RECOMMENDATION ON THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING PERFORMANCE BONUS), WHICH RECOMMENDATION IT PROVIDES TO THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASSESSES THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTES WHETHER TO APPROVE THE TOTAL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING PERFORMANCE BONUS) FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE PRESIDENT & CEO IS NOT PRESENT DURING EITHER THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S REVIEW OF HIS COMPENSATION NOR THE FULL BOARD'S APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION AND DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DELIBERATIONS, EXCEPT THAT HE MAY ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WILL HELP THE COMMITTEE OR THE FULL BOARD IN THEIR DELIBERATIONS. FOR ALL "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS," THE AUDIT COMMITTEE DOCUMENTS THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATIONS CONCURRENTLY WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION BY DRAFTING MINUTES OF THE MEETING AT WHICH THE DETERMINATIONS WERE MADE. THE MINUTES INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 1. THE TERMS OF THE APPROVED COMPENSATION AND THE DATE APPROVED; 2. THE NAMES OF MEMBERS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WHO WERE PRESENT DURING DISCUSSION OF THE COMPENSATION AND THOSE WHO VOTED ON IT; 3. THE COMPARABILITY DATA THAT WAS RELIED ON BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND HOW SUCH DATA WAS OBTAINED; AND 4. ANY ACTIONS (SUCH AS RECUSAL) TAKEN BY A MEMBER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE HAVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE THEN APPROVES THE MINUTES WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME AFTER ITS PREPARATION. SIMILARLY, THE BOARD DOCUMENTS THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO'S COMPENSATION CONCURRENTLY WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION BY DRAFTING MINUTES OF THE MEETING AT WHICH THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE.
