| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 | AFTER THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED, THE CONTROLLER REVIEWS THE RETURN AND SENDS IT FOR APPROVAL BY THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. ONCE APPROVED, THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SENDS THE RETURN TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL. ONCE FINALIZED, THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SIGNS THE RETURN BEFORE FILING.

SUCH MARKET COMPENSATION DATA WAS UTILIZED WHEN FORMULATING COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DESCRIBED TOP OFFICERS PRIOR TO ACTUAL EMPLOYMENT OFFERS IN 2007 AND 2008. MARKET COMPENSATION DATA WAS ALSO REVIEWED IN 2011 TO ASSURE THAT COMPENSATION LEVELS WERE APPROPRIATE. CONTEMPORANEOUS MARKET COMPENSATION DATA IS RETAINED FOR THE KEY OFFICER POSITIONS (CEO, CFO, AND COO) ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. NEON'S INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CHAIRMAN AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE) REVIEWS AND ANALYZES MARKET DATA AND TRENDS TO SET AND ADJUST OFFICER SALARIES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
