        <ExplanationTxt>The Cooperative has designated a policy for Directors compensation. Per the Cooperatives policy, whenever a Director attends any meeting, conference, or seminar approved by the Board, they receive reimbursement for actual expenses, with the exception of meals. Daily meals are reimbursed at per diem. In addition, the Director will receive aDirectors fee of $350 for each day of the meeting. If a Director is absent from a regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Directors fee may be paid at the discretion of the Board. A form is provided to each Director to assist in tracking hours spent on behalf of the Cooperative. A monthly medical and dental insurance allowance of $200 is paid to each Director. Some Directors may serve on additional committees or have additional training requirements that result in additional time and expenses as compared to other Directors. A Director may defer Director fees in accordance with IRS Rules and Regulations. However, the money will be due and payable at the conclusion of the Directors tenure on the Board.Currently, Mr. Edward Garcia defers compensation as a Board Director.</ExplanationTxt>
