Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top Management SEE LINE 15b RESPONSE Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees ENLACE USA adopted an Executive Compensation Policy (the "Policy") in 2008. The Policy requires the board of directors (the "Board") to make every effort to comply with the "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under Internal Revenue Code 4958 and its supporting Treasury Regulations 53.4958-6. The Policy also directs the Board to adopt procedures for reviewing and approving new or materially modified compensation arrangements between ENLACE USA and its executives and senior managers that, among other things, include the following:a.Reviewing the compensation arrangement or the terms of the transaction. The body deciding on the compensation arrangement must be composed entirely of persons who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement or transaction under review. b.In making its determination of reasonableness, the Board should obtain and rely upon appropriate data as to comparability from internal or external sources to help it make its determination. c.The Board will ultimately decide (on the basis of the Compensation Committee's recommendation, if any) whether to approve the compensation arrangement or not. Only Board members who have no conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement may participate in the decision-making process. The person who is the subject of the compensation arrangement and any director who has a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement may answer questions regarding the compensation arrangement but otherwise must recuse themselves from the meeting during deliberation on the compensation arrangement. Additionally, if the Board or the Compensation Committee obtained a compensation study or opinion letter, the Board should be provided an opportunity to ask questions of person who prepared the study or opinion letter. d.The Board should document the basis for its decision the later of the Board's next meeting or 60 days after the Board's decision. And within a reasonable time after the decision is documented, the Board should review and approve the documentation as reasonable, accurate, and complete. The documentation should include, at minimum:(i)The terms of the approved compensation arrangement and the date the Board approved it; (ii)The persons who were present during the deliberation and vote on the compensation arrangement and the names of the persons who voted for it or against it;(iii)The comparability data obtained and relied upon and how the data was obtained; and(iv)The actions any director who has a conflict of interest with respect to the compensation arrangement took during the Board's decision-making process.e. The Executive Director's compensation is due to be reviewed at the Board of Director's 2013 Annual meeting. The review will involve examination and approval by independent persons, comparability data, and contemporaneous substantiation of the deliberation and decision.
