        <Identifier>PROCESS USED TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF CEO, OTHER OFFICERS &amp; KEY EMP.</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>FORM 990, PART VI, LINES 15A AND 15B</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE COMPENSATION OF THE CEO AND OTHER OFFICERS OF BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION IS ESTABLISHED BY BANNER HEALTH AND IS SUBJECT TO OVERSIGHT BY THE BANNER HEALTH BOARD OF DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION COMMITTEE IN THE SAME MANNER AS SUCH OVERSIGHT IS EXERCISED OVER OTHER VICE PRESIDENTS AND HIGHER EXECUTIVES OF BANNER HEALTH. THE COMPENSATION IS WITHIN RANGES SET BY THE BANNER HEALTH COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT BASED ON MARKET DATA. BANNER HEALTH'S PROCESS TO DETERMINE COMPENSATION OF BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION IS AS FOLLOWS: BANNER HEALTH UTILIZES A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE THAT EXERCISES OVERSIGHT OVER ALL ASPECTS OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CEO AND ALL OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES OF BANNER HEALTH AND ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS, AND ALL OTHER PERSONS WHO CONSTITUTE "DISQUALIFIED PERSONS" WITH RESPECT TO BANNER HEALTH UNDER CODE SECTION 4958. THE COMMITTEE ASSESSES ANNUALLY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CEO AND RECOMMENDS TO THE BOARD APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO; REVIEWS AND DETERMINES THE EXECUTIVE TOTAL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY OF BANNER HEALTH; ESTABLISHES THE PERMISSIBLE RANGES OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS; REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE DESIGN OF THE COMPONENTS OF COMPENSATION FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS; AND MONITORS COMPLIANCE OF BANNER HEALTH WITH THE PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION; RECEIVES THE CEO'S REPORT CONCERNING THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS; ACTS FOR THE BOARD IN THE APPOINTMENT, ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPENSATION AND DIRECT OVERSIGHT OF EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS ENGAGED TO PROVIDE ADVICE AND INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REASONABLENESS AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE COMPENSATION PAID TO THE CEO, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND ANY OTHER DISQUALIFIED PERSONS, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS, WHICH CONSULTANT REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE COMMITTEE; AND PERFORMS SUCH OTHER DUTIES AND DELEGATED RESPONSIBILITIES AS THE BOARD MAY ASSIGN TO THE COMMITTEE FROM TIME TO TIME. IN ADDITION, THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING BEST PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION OVERSIGHT FUNCTION: RECEIVES THE REPORT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT, TOTAL COMPENSATION, REGARDING ALL MATERIAL INCENTIVE PLANS, BENEFIT PLANS AND PROGRAMS THAT APPLY TO EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICIANS GENERALLY; APPROVES THE CEO'S RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO THE COMPENSATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS; USES TALLY SHEETS SUMMARIZING ALL COMPONENTS OF THE CEO'S AND SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION, INCLUDING BANNER ALZHEIMER'S FOUNDATION OFFICERS, INCLUDING A THREE-YEAR EARNINGS HISTORY AND THE COST OF ALL COMPENSATION (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY DEFERRED COMPENSATION) AT THE TIME THAT ANY ACTION IS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THE CEO'S OR SENIOR EXECUTIVES' COMPENSATION IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE COMMITTEE IS FULLY INFORMED OF THE COMPLETE COMPENSATION PACKAGE BEFORE TAKING ANY SUCH ACTION; REVIEWS THE ANNUAL FORM 990 DISCLOSURES RELATING TO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TO ENSURE THE DISCLOSURES ACCURATELY RECONCILE TO THE COMPENSATION PACKAGES APPROVED BY THE COMMITTEE. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MAY RETAIN EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS TO THE EXTENT THE COMMITTEE DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO CARRY OUT ITS RESPONSIBILITIES. IF SO ENGAGED, THE COMMITTEE HAS RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPROVING THE FEES AND THE TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR THE CONSULTANTS, AS WELL AS TERMINATION OF SUCH ENGAGEMENT. TYPICALLY, THE COMMITTEE HAS ENGAGED A CONSULTANT ANNUALLY TO REVIEW AND OPINE AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF THE CEO'S COMPENSATION PACKAGE AND HAS ENGAGED A CONSULTANT APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS TO REVIEW AND OPINE AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF SENIOR EXECUTIVE AND OTHER EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION. THE COMMITTEE PERIODICALLY REVIEWS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BANNER HEALTH AND EACH CONSULTANT TO ENSURE THE CONSULTANT'S INDEPENDENCE. IN CONNECTION WITH EACH SUCH EVALUATION, THE COMMITTEE REQUESTS A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION FROM EACH CONSULTANT THAT: INCLUDES AN INDEPENDENCE ATTESTATION AFFIRMING THAT THE CONSULTANT HAS CONDUCTED ITS OWN INTERNAL ASSESSMENT AND, BASED ON SUCH ASSESSMENT AND ITS INTERNAL CONTROLS, CONCLUDED THAT IT HAS PERFORMED ITS SERVICES FOR THE COMMITTEE IN AN INDEPENDENT MANNER AND IS INDEPENDENT AS DEFINED IN THE INTERMEDIATE SANCTION REGULATIONS UNDER CODE SECTION 4958; CONFIRMS THAT THE CONSULTANT REPORTS TO THE COMMITTEE THROUGH THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE AND THAT ALL CONSULTING ACTIVITY FOR BANNER HEALTH CONDUCTED BY SUCH CONSULTANT DURING THE PRECEDING YEAR WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT OF THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE; AND DETAILS THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH TO THE CONSULTANT IN ITS CAPACITY AS AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION CONSULTANT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE AMOUNTS PAID BY BANNER HEALTH, IF ANY, TO THE CONSULTANT AND ITS AFFILIATES FOR ANY OTHER ENGAGEMENTS. THE COMMITTEE MAY ALSO REQUIRE THE CONSULTANT TO VERIFY THAT IT MEETS THE DEFINITION OF "INDEPENDENCE" DESCRIBED IN THE FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS. BANNER HEALTH DOES EMPLOY A FORMAL WRITTEN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH STIPULATES THE FORM AND APPROACH TO THE CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE. COMPENSATION SURVEYS AND STUDIES ARE UTILIZED BY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS THAT THE COMMITTEE MAY ENGAGE FROM TIME TO TIME. THE COMPONENTS AND THE CEO'S TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE, AS WELL AS THE SUM OF THE COMPONENTS, IS REVIEWED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECOMMENDED TO THE FULL BOARD FOR APPROVAL. BANNER HEALTH USES THE SAME PROCESSES THAT ARE EMPLOYED FOR THE CEO'S COMPENSATION FOR OTHER KEY EMPLOYEES AND OFFICER COMPENSATION.</Explanation>
