Explanation	The Organization's president, which is its top management official, is not compensated directly by the Organization. The Organization's president is also the president of the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations ("NOLHGA") which is an unrelated entity. The Organization has entered into an agreement with NOLHGA for various services to be provided to the Organization by NOLHGA (e.g., maintaining a computer server and website for the Organization and oversight and tracking of the Organization's administrative costs and expenses, etc.). The services provided to the Organzization under the agreement also include advice and leadership by NOLHGA's president, who also serves as president of the Organization. An appropriate portion of the time spent on the Organization's behalf by NOLHGA's president is charged to the Organization. Thus, the organization's president receives no additional compensation for serving as the organization's president, but the organization reimburses NOLHGA for the portion of time NOLHGA's president devotes to the organization. The terms of the agreement were negotiated on behalf of the Organization by its outside counsel, with oversight by the Chairman of the Board. Once final, the agreement was presented to and approved by the Organization's Board.	ExplanationTxt
