Process for Determining Compensation

The compensation of the President is determined by the Board, and it has based its determination on an analysisof comparable positions at similar organizations. This process for the CEO was last undertaken in December of2003 by the Boards Administration and Finance Committee (now known as the Audit and Risk Committee). Thesalary of the President has remained unchanged since that time. An updated review of salaries at comparableorganizations was done at the full boards annual meeting in October, 2009. Compensation for the three VicePresidents (Eric Osberg, Mike Petrilli, and Terry Ryan) is determined by the President, based on a thoroughannual review process conducted in November and December of each year (with mid-year and quarterlycomponents as well). A comparable-salary analysis for the three vice presidents was last reviewed by thePresident in 2008.
