“Organization reserves the right to pay reasonable compensation to its executives in compliance with code section 4958. When compensating disqualified persons, the foundation will adhere to the definition of reasonable compensation as set forth under section 53.4958-4(b)(1)(ii) of the treasury regulations. That section provides that reasonable compensation is the amount that would ordinarily be paid for like services by like enterprises, whether taxable or tax-exempt, under like circumstances. Furthermore, any compensation the foundation pays to a disqualified person will be approved in advance by the foundation's board of directors pursuant to the procedures for establishing a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under code section 4958 (and supporting treasury regulations). In other words, it will be approved in advance by an independent group of board members, it will be based on appropriate comparability data, and it will be adequately documented. The board will use the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under code section 4958 also to ensure that compensation does not constitute private inurement. A director or officer shall receive a salary for his or her services as determined by the board of directors except that the director or officer who is to receive this salary may not vote in determining the salary to be received.”
