| Part IV, Line 2b: | The members of the Cooperative can elect to round up their monthly electric bill to the next dollar. These funds collected from the membership are held in a Cooperative account until they are released to the SERVE Foundation. These funds are transferred directly to the SERVE Foundation on a monthly basis. Funds that exist at the end of year are a result of a timing difference in the receipt of the funds and the release of them to the SERVE Foundation. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the account held $12,107. | |
| Part X: | The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes. The Cooperative has adopted the provisions of Accounting and Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10. As of December 31, 2011, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. The Cooperative will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if such penalties and interest are incurred. Under normal circumstances, the Cooperative is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008 and state examinations for years before 2008.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a | One member, one vote. CCEC members have the right and authority to elect the Board of Directors.

Members may consider, vote or act upon other matters as provided by applicable laws. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b | CCEC membership has the right and authority to have the final decision role on the following matters: **The disposition of cooperative assets if the proposed sale is over 5% of total assets during a 12-month period. No less than two-thirds of the entire membership must approve the proposed transfer. **A proposed merger or consolidation; a majority of the members present and voting in person at the member meeting must approve the consolidation or merger. | |

The Board must approve the completed Form 990 before it is filed. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | CCEC Policy 110 - Conflict of Interest - requires Directors and employees of the Cooperative to disclose annually: **The receipt of any gifts, fees, loans or favors with a value in excess of $100 **Any business transaction that may be considered in competition with the cooperative or deemed a conflict of interest **The policy also prohibits the use of non-public corporate information for financial or business opportunity benefit. ***Action: Should a conflict be disclosed the board must provide the director an opportunity to comment orally and in writing regarding the information or fact before making a determination. If the board determines that a director is not in compliance with the policy the board will act appropriately including the possibility of sanction, disqualification and/or removal. Legal counsel reviews disclosures. Individuals with a conflict must abstain from voting. | |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a | At the board reorganization meeting held annually, the board reviews the NRECA Director Survey for updated statistics on director compensation and benefits. The next review of director compensation will be done in April 2012. The 2011 NRECA director compensation survey will be provided to the board for review. A CEO evaluation of compensation is done annually by the Board of Directors during an executive session; the CEO is not present during the meeting. Comparative data on compensation is provided and reviewed by the board (executive session minutes are kept by legal counsel). The board Chairman is responsible for discussing the outcome of the evaluation with the CEO. The last CEO evaluation occurred in November 2011. An annual performance appraisal is required for all employees; the appraisals on top management personnel are completed by the President/CEO in accordance with Board Policy 224. Local, regional and national wage and salary data is used to determine the wage scale, which is approved annually by the Board of Directors. | |

The Conflict of Interest Policy is available to the public upon request. | |
| Form 990, Part IX, Functional Expense, Line 24e | The labor, pension, other employee benefits and payroll taxes reported on lines 5-10 are already included in distribution expense, administrative & general expense and customer expense.

| Form 990, Part IX, Functional Expense, Line 4 | The Cooperative has interpreted the instructions to Part IX, Line 4, to mean patronage capital allocated for the year, rather than patronage capital retired. This is consistent with the Bylaws of the Cooperative. | Benefits Paid to Members |
