| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | EACH YEAR THE CEO PREPARES A SELF-ASSESSMENT COMPARING THEIR PERFORMANCE TO THE GOALS SET FOR THE YEAR BY THE BOARD. THE SELF-ASSESSMENT IS REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE (HRCC) MAY PROVIDE INPUT ON THE CEO'S PERFORMANCE TO THE BOARD.
