The organization's CFO or designee subsequently signs the return for either manual or electronic filing by the appropriate due date. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY Our conflict of interest policy requires all covered persons to annually review the policy and then complete, sign and return the Conflicts of Interest Survey and Attestation to the Compliance Office. The policy requires an on-going disclosure obligation in the event a conflict arises during the year. The following is our process to regularly and consistently monitor and enforce the policy: Compliance identifies all covered persons who must complete the Survey and Attestation. Compliance verifies that the Survey and Attestation is distributed to these persons. Compliance verifies that these persons return a fully completed and signed Survey and Attestation. Compliance reviews each completed and signed Survey and Attestation to identify all conflicts listed in the document. All conflicts, potential conflicts and incidences of non-compliance are referred to the Chief Compliance Officer. The CCO takes appropriate action to completely resolve all identified conflicts and incidences of non-compliance.

When performance is at a predetermined targeted level, the compensation is intended to be at or around the median of compensation paid to similar positions at similar organizations (the "market").
