PART I, LINE 4B ASANTE, THE PARENT CORPORATION OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS, HAS AN EXECUTIVE RESTORATION PLAN WHICH INCLUDES ASANTE VP & CIO LEE MILLIGAN, MD, ARRMC CEO SCOTT KELLY, JAMES BERRY, AND DOUG DIEHL, MD. THIS PLAN STATES FIXED PAYMENTS WILL BE RECEIVED AT PRE-DETERMINED INTERVALS FROM ASANTE IF STILL EMPLOYED BY ASANTE IN THEIR CURRENT ROLL AT THE TIME OF VESTING. IF EMPLOYMENT TERMINATES BY ASANTE FOR ANY REASON PRIOR TO VESTING, THEY WILL NOT HAVE CLAIM TO THE FUNDS.

PART I, LINE 7 THE FIVE HIGHEST PAID NON-EXECUTIVE EMPLOYEES, MOSTLY CARDIAC SURGEONS, ARE PAID A BASE SALARY AND THEN RECEIVE PRODUCTIVITY COMPENSATION BASED ON WORK RELATIVE VALUE UNITS (WRVU'S). EACH WRVU IS $76.92. TOTAL COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY MULTIPLYING THE RVU'S BY $76.92.

ROY VINYARD ASANTE CEO SEE PART V X 3000000 5029230 0 1 1 5029230 SCHEDULE L PART II A RELATED ORGANIZATION, ASANTE, PROVIDES SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFITS THROUGH AN ALTERNATIVE FUNDING ARRANGEMENT THE IRS CALLS "COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT SPLIT DOLLAR" (CASD). ALTHOUGH THE IRS REQUIRES REPORTING IN THE LOAN SECTION OF SCHEDULE L, CASD IS NOT AN ACTUAL LOAN--NO FUNDS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE EXECUTIVE. RATHER, THE "LOAN" TREATMENT APPLIES BECAUSE AFTER THE EXECUTIVE HAS RECEIVED RETIREMENT BENEFITS, ASANTE RECOVERS ALL OF ITS OUTLAYS PLUS INTEREST.THE RECOVERY RIGHT IS A KEY ADVANTAGE OF CASD FOR ASANTE. RATHER THAN PAYING RETIREMENT BENEFITS TO THE EXECUTIVE THAT WOULD NEVER BE RECOVERED, UNDER CASD ASANTE RECOVERS NOT ONLY ITS OUTLAYS, BUT ALSO CONSIDERATION FOR THE TIME VALUE OF MONEY.CASD WORKS AS FOLLOWS. ASANTE DEPOSITS FUNDS INTO A CASH VALUE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY ON THE EXECUTIVE'S LIFE. DURING LIFE, TO THE EXTENT THE EXECUTIVE FULFILLS SERVICE AND VESTING REQUIREMENTS, THE EXECUTIVE CAN BORROW AGAINST VALUES IN THE POLICY TO SUPPLEMENT RETIREMENT INCOME. POLICY PERFORMANCE IS CLOSELY MONITORED. IF POLICY PERFORMANCE LAGS, THE EXECUTIVE'S BORROWING RIGHTS ARE REDUCED TO PROTECT THE EO'S RECOVERY RIGHTS.AT THE EXECUTIVE'S DEATH, THE POLICY DEATH PROCEEDS ARE FIRST USED TO REPAY THE EO ITS DEPOSITS PLUS COMPOUNDED INTEREST (AT THE IRS LONG-TERM APPLICABLE FEDERAL RATE). THE EXECUTIVE'S BENEFICIARY THEN RECEIVES ANY PROJECTED RETIREMENT BORROWING THE EXECUTIVE DID NOT ACCESS DURING LIFE. ANY REMAINING DEATH PROCEEDS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE PAID TO THE EXECUTIVE'S BENEFICIARY. FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, ONLY PHYSICIANS AND HOSPITALS THAT PROACTIVELY FIND COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS TO BETTER PATIENT CARE WILL SUCCEED. ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS IS ON THE FOREFRONT OF THIS PARADIGM SHIFT, FOSTERING A STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT AMONG PHYSICIANS, OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, HOSPITALS, AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST RESPONSE TO THE CHALLENGES OF HEALTHCARE REFORM IS TO TAKE ACTION NOW INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CATCH UP LATER. THE COST OF HEALTHCARE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS REACHED UNSUSTAINABLE LEVELS. MANY HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE HAD TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC IN RURAL AND SMALL URBAN AREAS. WHEN HOSPITALS IN THESE AREAS SHUT DOWN, THE DOCTORS LEAVE, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE TO TRAVEL HUNDREDS OF MILES IN SOME CASES TO OBTAIN MEDICAL CARE. MANY OF THESE HOSPITALS FAIL BECAUSE OF A LACK OF DOCTORS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS IS TO RECRUIT A BROAD ARRAY OF DOCTORS TO RELOCATE TO OUR COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS RETAIN THE DOCTORS WHO ALREADY RESIDE HERE. WE WISH TO HAVE AVAILABLE TO THE CITIZENS OF OUR COMMUNITY A LARGE BASE OF PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS, AS WELL AS NUMEROUS PHYSICIAN SPECIALISTS INCLUDING CARDIOLOGISTS, SURGEONS, ONCOLOGISTS, AND MUCH MORE. THE FOCUS OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS IS NOT MERELY TO EMPLOY THESE DOCTORS, BUT TO ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ESTABLISH THEIR MEDICAL PRACTICE IN THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE THE ROGUE VALLEY OF SOUTHERN OREGON THEIR HOME. AS A RESULT, THE CITIZENS OF SOUTHERN OREGON DO NOT NEED TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO A MAJOR CITY TO OBTAIN SPECIALIZED MEDICAL CARE. MOST ALL THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT HERE IN THE ROGUE VALLEY. WE WANT DOCTORS WHO EXCEL AT THEIR PROFESSION, CARE ABOUT THE PATIENT AS A WHOLE, AND WANT TO COLLABORATE WITHIN A COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED DOCTORS. THE DOCTORS WE EMPLOY ALSO TREAT ALL COMERS. THAT MEANS WE WILL TREAT MEDICARE, MEDICAID, AND UNINSURED PATIENTS THAT MANY SELF-EMPLOYED DOCTORS OFTEN LIMIT OR TURN AWAY. THIS IN TURN HAS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF KEEPING PATIENTS OUT OF THE BUSY EMERGENCY ROOMS OF THE HOSPITALS FOR BASIC, NON-EMERGENT MEDICAL NEEDS SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PATIENT CANNOT FIND A DOCTOR TO TREAT THEM. THIS NOT ONLY HELPS KEEP HEALTH CARE COSTS DOWN, BUT ALSO PROMOTES A BETTER OUTCOME FOR THE PATIENT IN GENERAL. THE DOCTORS AT ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS ARE PLAYING A PIVOTAL ROLE IN DEVELOPING A COLLABORATIVE AND COORDINATED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION THAT MODELS EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGES OF THE CURRENT HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT NOT ONLY IN OUR COMMUNITY, BUT ACROSS THE NATION AS A WHOLE. ALL THE MEMBERS OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS SHARE IN A COMMITMENT TO CREATING A FRAMEWORK FOR EXCELLENCE IN HEALTHCARE. INDEPENDENT VOTING BOARD MEMBERS SINCE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS IS MADE UP OF PAID EMPLOYEES OF EITHER APP OR A RELATED ORGANIZATION, NONE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE INDEPENDENT. HOWEVER, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ASANTE, THE PARENT COMPANY OF APP, IS MADE UP OF ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT VOTING MEMBERS. THE ASANTE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS OVERRIDING AUTHORITY TO COUNTER ANY DECISION MADE BY THE APP BOARD IF IT FEELS AN APP BOARDS DECISION IS CONTRARY TO THE EXEMPT MISSION OF APP.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C THE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OF ASANTE (A DEPARTMENT OF THE PARENT COMPANY OF ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNERS), MAILS TO ALL ASANTE PHYSICIAN PARTNER'S MANAGEMENT, KEY EMPLOYEES, AND BOARD MEMBERS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST QUESTIONAIRE TO COMPLY WITH ASANTE'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY# 400-LD-034 AND 036.
