FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS EACH OFFICER, DIRECTOR, TRUSTEE, AND KEY EMPLOYEE SHALL COMPLETE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE QUESTIONNAIRE. AN AMENDED FORM MUST BE FILED IN THE EVENT OF A MATERIAL CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES. THE COMPLETED FORM SHALL BE REVIEWED BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND ANY OTHER STAFF AS NECESSARY TO DISCERN IF THERE MAY BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THE CONDUCT OF AGENCY BUSINESS OR THAT MAY CREATE AN APPEARANCE OF INVOLVING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER SHALL REPORT TO THE BOARD AT LEAST ANNUALLY ON ANY DISCLOSED CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IN THE EVENT THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, PURSUANT TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, THE PERSON WHO HAS THE CONFLICT RECUSES HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM ANY DECISION AND DOESN'T PARTICIPATE IN ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECISION.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
THE BOARD HAS ADOPTED A COMPENSATION POLICY (THE "POLICY") FOR COVERED INDIVIDUALS. PURSUANT TO THE POLICY, AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("ECC") OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS WAS ESTABLISHED TO REVIEW THE COMPENSATION OF ALL EMPLOYEES SPECIFIED AS HAVING A SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER THE AGENCY AND WHO RECEIVE REMUNERATION FROM THE AGENCY, INCLUDING THE AGENCY'S SENIOR EXECUTIVES. THE ECC IS ADVISED BY INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS AND SEPARATELY RETAINED COUNSEL, WHO OPINE TO THE ECC THAT THE LEVEL OF COMPENSATION PAID AND THE PROCESS BY WHICH COMPENSATION IS ESTABLISHED MEET APPLICABLE IRS REASONABLENESS AND "SAFE HARBOR" STANDARDS UNDER THE TAX LAW'S "INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS" RULES. THE OUTSIDE COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS AND COUNSEL PROVIDE DATA ON COMPENSATION PROVIDED AT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE THAT THE AGENCY PAYS ONLY REASONABLE COMPENSATION, AND DOES NOT COMPENSATE IN EXCESS OF MARKET NORMS. THE ECC MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FULL BOARD. THE ECC'S DECISIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE FULL BOARD PRIOR TO BEING IMPLEMENTED. IN RESPONSE TO VARIOUS ECONOMIC CHALLENGES, THE BOARD HAS SUBSTANTIALLY REVISED THE AGENCY'S AND THE ECC'S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES, INCLUDING THE COMPENSATION POLICY.
