Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I
| PartandLinenumber:,Explanation:|Part I Line 7,The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, none of whom have a conflict of interest, is charged with overseeing Upstreams management compensation policies and practices including reviewing the CEOs compensation on an annual basis, and notifying the independent members of the Board of Directors with respect to compensation of the CEO. The CEOs 360 performance evaluations as well as comparability data for similarly qualified persons are reviewed by the Committee. In addition, in situations where an employees (other than the CEO) compensation has reached the top of their salary range, additional base salary increases may be limited. In recognition of strong performance and contributions, a merit bonus may be considered as an alternative form of compensation.|
