Data Services Terms and Conditions
Willis Towers Watson’s surveys and the results of such surveys, including participation materials and related reports (collectively, “surveys”) are made available by local Willis Towers
Watson affiliated companies which are directly or indirectly controlled by Willis Towers Watson & Co. (collectively referred to as “Willis Towers Watson” or the “Willis Towers Watson
group”) on the following terms and conditions.
Service Quality. Willis Towers Watson will collect relevant data and conduct the surveys with reasonable care. While Willis Towers Watson cannot be responsible for verifying the
accuracy and completeness of each data submission, a Willis Towers Watson associate will review each data submission for overall reasonableness. Willis Towers Watson provides
the surveys on an “as is” basis and does not provide a warranty or guarantee of any kind as to the accuracy or completeness of the surveys or the data or information contained
therein. Survey results will be available only if there are sufficient participants in the applicable survey.
Intellectual Property Rights. Willis Towers Watson retains all intellectual property rights in the surveys. Unauthorized use or duplication without prior permission from Willis Towers
Watson is prohibited. You shall not refer to us or include any of our work product (including, without limitation, the surveys and the information they contain) in any shareholder
communication or in any offering materials (or fairness opinion provided by your professional advisers) prepared in connection with the public offering or private placement of any
security, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Use of Surveys. You may use the surveys only within your own organization for internal human resources planning and may not modify, sell or transfer such surveys. Surveys may not
be reproduced in employee newsletters or posted on your company’s intranet. If you desire to share the surveys (in whole or in part) with a third party (including any entity controlling,
controlled by, or under common control with your company, Willis Towers Watson’s competitors and/or independent contractors working solely for your company), you must first obtain
the written consent of Willis Towers Watson. Any use of the information contained in the surveys is not a substitute for seeking expert legal, consulting or other advice on the
reasonableness or appropriateness of compensation and/or benefits levels and practices.
Limitation of Liability. The aggregate liability of Willis Towers Watson and its employees, directors, officers, agents and subcontractors (the “related persons”) whether in contract, tort
(including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any losses relating to the surveys provided hereunder shall not exceed in aggregate the greater of (a) $25,000 USD or
(b) the total fees paid to Willis Towers Watson for the particular survey(s) and/or custom report(s) related to such survey(s), unless otherwise agreed in writing. Nothing in these terms
shall exclude or limit the liability of Willis Towers Watson or our related persons in the case of: (a) death or personal injury resulting from Willis Towers Watson’s or Willis Towers
Watson’s related person’s negligence; (b) willful misconduct; (c) fraud; or (d) other liability to the extent that the same may not be excluded or limited as a matter of law. In no event
shall Willis Towers Watson or any of our related persons be liable for any incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind (including, without limitation, loss of
income, loss of profits, or other pecuniary loss).
General. The validity and interpretation of these terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, excluding its conflict of law rules. The parties
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York, United States of America Courts to resolve any dispute between them, provided that Willis Towers Watson shall have the
right to initiate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of breach of Willis Towers Watson’s proprietary rights. The parties hereby waive any right they may have
to demand a jury trial. These terms will apply to purchase orders generated by your company for survey results provided hereunder. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between
the terms and conditions of such purchase orders and these terms, these terms will prevail. Separate terms and conditions apply to use and access of online tools. You shall not assign
or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under these terms without Willis Towers Watson's prior written consent.
Participation Terms
By participating in Willis Towers Watson’s surveys, you will be deemed to have agreed to the following participation terms on behalf of your company and you represent that you have
authority to submit data. As a participant in this survey, your company's name will be included on survey participant lists. Survey participants must submit data on a timely basis and
provide an accurate and complete data submission, including, if relevant, long-term incentive information and responses to the policies and practices questions. Data may be submitted
directly via the Willis Towers Watson portal hosted in the USA. If your company’s data submission is late or does not meet the requirements for a particular survey, Willis Towers
Watson may, at its discretion, limit/deny access to such survey results. For select surveys, participants must submit executive data to purchase executive products, middle
management, professional and support data to purchase non-executive products and industry-specific functions/disciplines/positions to purchase associated industry-specific survey
products.
Confidentiality and Use of Data. Participant data submitted to the surveys will be held in confidence. Willis Towers Watson takes reasonable security precautions, including the same
precautions Willis Towers Watson takes to protect our own confidential information, to prevent unauthorized access. Participant data will be used by Willis Towers Watson for purposes
of creating aggregated survey results which are presented in a manner that protects individual company confidentiality. Participant data and survey results may be used by Willis
Towers Watson for training, quality assurance, research and development, compensation and/or benefits consulting services (e.g., market/job pricings) and general promotional
activities such as trends analyses that are provided to survey participants.
Data Protection. Willis Towers Watson may pass participant data, which may include individually identifiable information, within its global network of offices and affiliates (including the
Willis Towers Watson Global Resource Centre) and to subcontractors and providers of IT outsourcing who will be subject to appropriate data protection standards. The Global
Resource Centre is located in Manila, The Philippines, and will be used to analyze such data in connection with the surveys. The Manila corporate entity is a wholly owned subsidiary in
the Willis Towers Watson group, and it is governed by the same information security policies and internal controls that govern the Willis Towers Watson group as a whole.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the FIRREA survey, participant data shall remain solely in White Plains, New York and shall be accessible only by Willis Towers Watson
employees assigned to work on such survey. Irrespective of where Willis Towers Watson receives or holds such data, Willis Towers Watson confirms that, acting as data processor,
Willis Towers Watson will take appropriate technical, physical and organizational/administrative measures to protect such data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental
loss or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or access. Willis Towers Watson will use such data only for the purposes described above or for other reasonable purposes which are related
to the surveys and services, unless a participant instructs Willis Towers Watson otherwise. Participant and Willis Towers Watson shall each comply with applicable data privacy
legislation and regulations.

FIRREA Compensation Survey- Custom Survey Report
Survey Methodology
In accordance with our objective to publish only the most accurate and representative information possible,
each questionnaire is thoroughly reviewed by compensation professionals and our proprietary data diagnostic
programs before it is included in the database. The data is further reviewed using statistical modeling
techniques, and survey respondents are contacted to confirm job matches, discuss high and low points of the
data, and clarify specific rate and policy questions.
The results of any survey are highly dependent upon the quality of the data provided by participants. We take
all appropriate measures to ensure that the input received from participants is accurate and complete. Our
survey project teams carefully review each individual data submission to resolve omissions, inconsistencies,
or other questionable input; they verify any questionable data directly with the participant.
Data input methodologies, data verification and proprietary data diagnostics programs are coupled with our
employees’ expertise and experience to resolve any anomalies, yielding a complete and accurate survey
data base. Our quality assurance process is followed in this and all phases of conducting surveys and
publishing survey results to ensure that all survey materials are reviewed by multiple employees.
Willis Towers Watson Data Services (WTWDS) publishes statistics only when a sufficient sample exists.
Salary and total compensation data will be published only when five or more organizations have provided
data for a given location or industry. All published statistics are consistent with recognized statistical
standards and principles. At the time of release, published data will be at least three months old from the
effective date of the data reported by survey respondents.
Data reported by individual companies will not represent more than 25% of averaged data statistics in the total
sample report. Customized reports do not employ dominance adjustment as the FIRREAS are not required to
use dominance adjusted survey data. Any information disseminated is aggregated so that individual company
data cannot be identified and WTWDS ensures and maintains the confidentiality of individual company data.
Under no circumstances will we disclose individual data.

Locating Compensation Data in this Report
Organization of Compensation Data Presentations
Compensation data in the printed report is organized by position and separated into two categories: All
Organizations and All Federal Financial Regulatory Agencies. The data presentation for each position begins
with an All Organization Summary that shows compensation data on a national basis and includes all
participants.
Geographic Analysis
Geographic data is presented for region as well as consolidated metropolitan areas (as sample size permits).
All areas are presented alphabetically. For example, the data contributed by organizations in Alexandria,
Fairfax, and other proximate Northern Virginia cities will be found in the following geographic groupings,
described as follows:
Region:
Core-Based Statistical Area:
Southeast
Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia, DC-MD-VA
Survey statistics (average, 25th percentile, Median, and 75th percentile) are displayed for each position and for
each pay element. Please refer to the Explanation of Data Definitions for additional information.

Suggestions for Using the Data in this Report
Organizations determine their compensation philosophies and assess their labor markets from a variety of
perspectives. These include geographic, industry and organization size (e.g., revenue, assets or FTEs).
The use of valid, statistically-based information such as survey data minimizes uncertainty in compensation
decision-making. Frequently, the only competitive information available is that developed through the use of
survey methodology. While WTWDS surveys are professionally tended, the following guidelines will help to
reduce the likelihood of misjudgment and build your confidence in any decisions reached.
1. When making comparisons to survey data, the first step should always be to compare the duties and
responsibilities of the job under consideration to the survey description. The survey description forms
the basis for the collection of the survey data. Job titles should not be used in isolation since they can
often be misleading as to job content.
2. When using the compensation data contained in this report, take time to review the data presented. For
example, a few disproportionately high or low salaries reported for a job can influence the sample in a
way that may make it less representative of the population. In such an instance, the average and
weighted average salaries reported for the job may be less indicative of the central tendency of the
population than the median value. One way to detect such an effect is through a comparison of the
median, average and weighted average salaries. The extent to which they differ is an indication of the
degree to which a few disproportionately high or low salaries are represented in the data.
3. It is WTWDS policy to provide data in compliance with antitrust guidelines. Generally, it is more useful
when making a decision to have some representative data than to have no data at all. The number of
reporting organizations and incumbents in the job is an indicator of the breadth of representation in the
sample. If the number of incumbents reported closely matches the number of reporting organizations,
the relative influence of the participating organizations reporting is more evenly balanced.

Updating Survey Data
Most compensation professionals apply some type of update factor to survey data in order to keep pace with
changes in the marketplace that may have occurred since the data was collected. A typical approach is to use
anticipated salary growth (represented by current labor market data on salary increase budgets) in conjunction
with the number of months elapsed since the effective date of the salary data. The following example illustrates
this approach:
1. The prorated monthly estimate of the current year’s budgeted salary increase figure (6.0% for this
example) is divided by 12 (the number of months in a year).
6.0%
¸
12
=
0.5%
2. The prorated monthly estimate (0.5% for this example) is multiplied by the number of elapsed
months since the effective date of the data. Assuming the data was effective as of March 1 and the
desired update is to November 1, eight months have elapsed for purposes of this example.
0.5%
´
8
=
4.0%
3. The prorated eight-month salary increase estimate (4.0%) is added to the March 1 average salary for
the position and survey in question ($30,000 for this example) to estimate the average November 1
salary.
$30,000
´
.04
=
$1,200
$30,000
+
$1,200
=
$31,200
This approach to updating survey data is generally valid in times of relative economic stability. During periods of
fluctuating inflation or recession, the figure should be adjusted upward or downward as the economic climate
dictates. Due to numerous internal and external factors that affect compensation, Willis Towers Watson does
not recommend aging data beyond 18 months.

Calculating a Salary Range Minimum and Maximum
The following shows how to calculate a salary range minimum and maximum around a given midpoint when the
desired salary range spread (the percentage difference between minimum and maximum) has been
established.
Let Y symbolize the desired range spread
Let S symbolize the planned midpoint of the salary range
The formula for the limits (Minimum and Maximum) is:
S
±
{ S [Y/(2+Y)] }
For example, if the desired range spread is 60% and the midpoint is $50,000, the limits are:
Desired range spread
=
Y = 60%
Planned salary range midpoint
=
S = $50,000
Minimum
=
=
=
=
=
S - { S [Y/(2+Y)] }
$50,000 - { $50,000 [.60/(2 + .60)] }
$50,000 - { $50,000 (.23) }
$50,000 - { $11,500 }
$38,500
=
=
=
=
=
S + { S [Y/(2+Y)] }
$50,000 + { $50,000 [.60/(2 + .60)] }
$50,000 + {$50,000 (.23) }
$50,000 + { $11,500 }
$61,500
Minimum
Maximum
Maximum
So, for a planned salary range midpoint of $50,000 and a range spread of 60%, the minimum and maximum of
the range are $38,500 and $61,500 respectively.

Your Average: The average reported by your organization for this position.
Your Median: The median for your organization for this position (excel spreadsheet only).
Your Number of Incs: The number of incumbents your organization matched to the position.
Calculated Statistics Definitions
Incumbent Weighted Average: An average calculated by multiplying each occurrence of data by a weighting
factor, e.g., average salary reported by the number of incumbents in the position at each reporting company.
The results are added and then divided by the weighting of that factor, i.e., the total number of incumbents
reported.
Organization Weighted Average: A simple arithmetic average is calculated by adding all occurrences of data,
e.g., the average salary for a given job as reported by each survey participant, and dividing the result by the
number of occurrences, i.e., the number of participants. Averages weigh each participant’s input on an equal
basis, regardless of the number of incumbents reported.
10th Percentile: The value in an array below which falls 10% of the sample and above which lies 90% of the
sample. Together with the 90th percentile, a range of data can be identified that eliminates extremes in the
sample and provides a more realistic dispersion of data.(excel spreadsheet only)
25th Percentile: The value in an array below which falls 25% of the sample. Seventy-five percent, or threefourths, of the values in the sample are greater in magnitude than the 25th percentile value.
Median: The value in the middle of an odd numbered array of data when the values are ordered by magnitude.
Half of the values in the sample fall above this number and half fall below it. When the array contains an even
number of values, the median is midway between the central values.
75th Percentile: The value in an array below which falls 75% of the sample. Twenty-five percent, or one-fourth,
of the values in the sample are greater in magnitude than the 75th percentile value.
90th Percentile: The value in an array below which falls 90% of a sample and above which lies 10% of the
sample. Together with the 10th percentile, a range of data can be identified that eliminates extremes in the
sample and provides a more realistic dispersion of data. (excel spreadsheet only)
