OFFICER COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY THE BOARD OF CEBA, A RELATED ORGANIZATION. CEBA USES THE FOLLOWING METHODS TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION OF THE CEO: - APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE - FORM 990 OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS - COMPENSATION SURVEY OR STUDY FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND THEN REVIEWED BY ACCOUNTING STAFF, CFO, AND CEO PRIOR TO FINALIZATION.

AN INTERESTED PERSON DISCLOSES THE EXISTENCE OF ANY ACTUAL, POTENTIAL, OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS SOON AS THE INTERESTED PERSON IDENTIFIES THAT THERE MAY BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AND, IF POSSIBLE, BEFORE CEBI ENTERS INTO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT THAT GIVES RISE TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AFTER DISCLOSURE OF THE ACTUAL, POTENTIAL, OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, CEBI'S CEO AND CFO, IN CONSULTATION WITH EACH OTHER, DETERMINES WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS BY FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES DESCRIBED: THE INTERESTED PERSON DISCLOSES ALL MATERIAL FACTS TO CEBI'S CEO AND CFO, AND/OR LEGAL COUNSEL CONCERNING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION OR ARRANGEMENT, INCLUDING THE CIRCUMSTANCES GIVING RISE TO THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. IF CEBI'S CEO AND CFO ARE UNABLE TO AGREE IN WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS, THE MATTER IS REFERRED TO CEBI'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO DECIDE IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS. CEBI'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REQUESTS INFORMATION CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST DIRECTLY FROM THE INTERESTED PERSON. IF THE CEO OR CFO HAVE REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE AN INTERESTED PERSON HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL, OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THEY INFORM THE INTERESTED PERSON OF THE BASIS FOR SUCH BELIEF AND AFFORD THE INTERESTED PERSON AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN THE ALLEGED FAILURE TO DISCLOSE. IF, AFTER HEARING THE INTERESTED PERSON'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE CEO AND CFO DETERMINE THE INTERESTED PERSON HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL, POTENTIAL, OR PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THEY TAKE APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION, UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION.
