BAD DEBT EXPENSE	SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION A; QUESTION 4	BAD DEBT EXPENSE WAS CALCULATED USING THE PROVIDERS' BAD DEBT EXPENSE FROM FINANCIAL STATEMENT, NET OF ACCOUNTS WRITTEN OFF AT CHARGES. THE COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM PREPARES AND ISSUES AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ATTACHED TEXT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE FOOTNOTES TO THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COOPER HEALTH SYSTEM - OBLIGATED GROUP. CHARITY CARE THE HEALTH SYSTEM PROVIDES CARE TO THOSE WHO MEET THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY PUBLIC LAW 1992 (CHAPTER 160) CHARITY CARE CRITERIA. CHARITY CARE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT AMOUNTS LESS THAN ITS ESTABLISHED CHARGES. THE HEALTH SYSTEM MAINTAINS RECORDS TO IDENTIFY AND MONITOR THE LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE IT PROVIDES. INCLUDED IN THE RECORDS IS THE AMOUNT OF FORGONE GROSS PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE FOR SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FURNISHED UNDER ITS CHARITY CARE POLICY. THE AMOUNT OF CHARITY CARE PROVIDED AT CHARGES WAS $252,882,000 AND $237,683,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. THESE CHARGES PRICED AT MEDICAID RATES, THE METHODOLOGY THAT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SENIOR SERVICES USES TO VALUE THE CHARITY CARE PROVIDED BY EACH HOSPITAL IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, WOULD RESULT IN CHARITY CARE OF $39,157,000 AND $37,280,000 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009, RESPECTIVELY. THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S PATIENT ACCEPTANCE POLICY IS BASED UPON ITS MISSION STATEMENT AND ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THE HEALTH SYSTEM ACCEPTS ALL PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. THIS POLICY RESULTS IN THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S ASSUMPTION OF HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL PATIENT RECEIVABLE CREDIT RISKS. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM REALIZES ADDITIONAL LOSSES RESULTING FROM SUCH HIGHER CREDIT RISKS AND PATIENTS THAT ARE NOT IDENTIFIED OR DO NOT MEET THE HEALTH SYSTEM'S DEFINED CHARITY CARE POLICY, SUCH ADDITIONAL LOSSES ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROVISION FOR BAD DEBTS. CHAPTER 160 ESTABLISHED THE CHARITY CARE SUBSIDY FUND AND THE HOSPITAL RELIEF SUBSIDY FUND TO PROVIDE A MECHANISM AND FUNDING SOURCE TO COMPENSATE CERTAIN HOSPITALS FOR CHARITY CARE. THE HEALTH SYSTEM RECORDED THE FOLLOWING AMOUNTS FROM THE FUNDS AS NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THESE AMOUNTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED ON AVAILABLE STATE BUDGET AMOUNTS AND ALLOCATION METHODOLOGIES. A PROPORTIONATE AMOUNT IS IN PLACE THROUGH JUNE 2011. WHILE AMOUNTS ARE NOT FINALIZED FOR THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY'S FISCAL 2012 BUDGET, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT FUNDING WILL BE SLIGHTLY REDUCED. IN 2009, THE NEW JERSEY CHARITY CARE SUBSIDY WAS FUNDED ONE MONTH IN ARREARS, THE RECEIVABLE RELATED TO THE SUBSIDY OF $2,826,000 WAS INCLUDED IN PATIENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. IN 2010, THE STATE BEGAN PROVIDING THE SUBSIDY IN EACH MONTH FOR THAT MONTH. AS A RESULT, NO RECEIVABLE WAS RECORDED RELATED TO THE SUBSIDY AT DECEMBER 31,2010.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT	SCHEDULE H, PART III, SECTION B; QUESTION 8	MEDICARE COSTS WERE DERIVED FROM THE 2010 MEDICARE COST REPORT. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE ORGANIZATION FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. AS OUTLINED MORE FULLY BELOW THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT THESE SERVICES AND RELATED COSTS PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE AND ARE RENDERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES AND MISSION IN PROVIDING MEDICALLY NECESSARY HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO ALL INDIVIDUAL'S IN A NON-DISCRIMINATORY MANNER WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, COLOR, CREED, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN, RELIGION OR ABILITY TO PAY AND CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD PROMULGATED BY THE IRS. THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IS THE CURRENT STANDARD FOR A HOSPITAL FOR RECOGNITION AS A TAX-EXEMPT AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE ("IRC") 501(C)(3). THE ORGANIZATION IS RECOGNIZED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION UNDER 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION IN THE TAX CODE FOR THE TERM "CHARITABLE" A REGULATION PROMULGATED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PROVIDES SOME GUIDANCE AND STATES THAT "THE TERM CHARITABLE IS USED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) IN ITS GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE," AND PROVIDES EXAMPLES OF CHARITABLE PURPOSES, INCLUDING THE RELIEF OF THE INDIGENT OR UNPRIVILEGED; THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE; AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND SCIENCE. NOTE IT DOES NOT EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THE ACTIVITIES OF HOSPITALS. IN THE ABSENCE OF EXPLICIT STATUTORY OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS APPLYING THE TERM "CHARITABLE" TO HOSPITALS, IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE IRS TO DETERMINE THE CRITERIA HOSPITALS MUST MEET TO QUALIFY AS IRC 501(C)(3) CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS. THE ORIGINAL STANDARD WAS KNOWN AS THE CHARITY CARE STANDARD. THIS STANDARD WAS REPLACED BY THE IRS WITH THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD WHICH IS THE CURRENT STANDARD. CHARITY CARE STANDARD IN 1956, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 56-185, WHICH ADDRESSED THE REQUIREMENTS HOSPITALS NEEDED TO MEET IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR IRC 501(C)(3) STATUS. ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IS KNOWN AS THE "CHARITY CARE STANDARD." UNDER THE STANDARD, A HOSPITAL HAD TO PROVIDE, TO THE EXTENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY, FREE OR REDUCED-COST CARE TO PATIENTS UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. A HOSPITAL THAT EXPECTED FULL PAYMENT DID NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RULING, PROVIDE CHARITY CARE BASED ON THE FACT THAT SOME PATIENTS ULTIMATELY FAILED TO PAY. THE RULING EMPHASIZED THAT A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT A HOSPITAL HAD FAILED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT SINCE THAT LEVEL COULD REFLECT ITS FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUCH CARE. THE RULING ALSO NOTED THAT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HOSPITALS WOULD NORMALLY QUALIFY AS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE THEY SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND A LOW LEVEL OF CHARITY CARE WOULD NOT AFFECT A HOSPITAL'S EXEMPT STATUS IF IT WAS DUE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY'S LACK OF CHARITABLE DEMANDS. COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD IN 1969, THE IRS ISSUED REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH "REMOVED" FROM REVENUE RULING 56-185 "THE REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO CARING FOR PATIENTS WITHOUT CHARGE OR AT RATES BELOW COST." UNDER THE STANDARD DEVELOPED IN REVENUE RULING 69-545, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD," HOSPITALS ARE JUDGED ON WHETHER THEY PROMOTE THE HEALTH OF A BROAD CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE RULING INVOLVED A HOSPITAL THAT ONLY ADMITTED INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD PAY FOR THE SERVICES (BY THEMSELVES, PRIVATE INSURANCE, OR PUBLIC PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICARE), BUT OPERATED A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY ROOM THAT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE. THE IRS RULED THAT THE HOSPITAL QUALIFIED AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION BECAUSE IT PROMOTED THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE IN ITS COMMUNITY. THE IRS REASONED THAT BECAUSE THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH WAS A CHARITABLE PURPOSE ACCORDING TO THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY, IT FELL WITHIN THE "GENERALLY ACCEPTED LEGAL SENSE" OF THE TERM "CHARITABLE," AS REQUIRED BY TREAS. REG. 1.501(C)(3)-1(D)(2). THE IRS RULING STATED THAT THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH, LIKE THE RELIEF OF POVERTY AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF EDUCATION AND RELIGION, IS ONE OF THE PURPOSES IN THE GENERAL LAW OF CHARITY THAT IS DEEMED BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE EVEN THOUGH THE CLASS OF BENEFICIARIES ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A DIRECT BENEFIT FROM ITS ACTIVITIES DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS INDIGENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDED THAT THE CLASS IS NOT SO SMALL THAT ITS RELIEF IS NOT OF BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY. THE IRS CONCLUDED THAT THE HOSPITAL WAS "PROMOTING THE HEALTH OF A CLASS OF PERSONS THAT IS BROAD ENOUGH TO BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY" BECAUSE ITS EMERGENCY ROOM WAS OPEN TO ALL AND IT PROVIDED CARE TO EVERYONE WHO COULD PAY, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH THIRD-PARTY REIMBURSEMENT. OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HOSPITAL THAT THE IRS HIGHLIGHTED INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: ITS SURPLUS FUNDS WERE USED TO IMPROVE PATIENT CARE, EXPAND HOSPITAL FACILITIES, AND ADVANCE MEDICAL TRAINING, EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH; IT WAS CONTROLLED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT CONSISTED OF INDEPENDENT CIVIC LEADERS; AND HOSPITAL MEDICAL STAFF PRIVILEGES WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL QUALIFIED PHYSICIANS. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND ASSOCIATED COSTS ARE INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION ("AHA") FEELS THAT MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AND BAD DEBT ARE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. THIS ORGANIZATION AGREES WITH THE AHA POSITION. AS OUTLINED IN THE AHA LETTER TO THE IRS DATED AUGUST 21, 2007 WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED DRAFT OF THE NEW FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE H, THE AHA FELT THAT THE IRS SHOULD INCORPORATE THE FULL VALUE OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT THAT HOSPITALS PROVIDE BY COUNTING MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENTS (SHORTFALL) AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: - PROVIDING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND SERVING MEDICARE PATIENTS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT STANDARD. - MEDICARE, LIKE MEDICAID, DOES NOT PAY THE FULL COST OF CARE. RECENTLY, MEDICARE REIMBURSES HOSPITALS ONLY 92 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR THEY SPEND TO TAKE CARE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS. THE MEDICARE PAYMENT ADVISORY COMMISSION ("MEDPAC") IN ITS MARCH 2007 REPORT TO CONGRESS CAUTIONED THAT UNDERPAYMENT WILL GET EVEN WORSE, WITH MARGINS REACHING A 10-YEAR LOW AT NEGATIVE 5.4 PERCENT. - MANY MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES, LIKE THEIR MEDICAID COUNTERPARTS, ARE INDIGENT. MORE THAN 46 PERCENT OF MEDICARE SPENDING IS FOR BENEFICIARIES WHOSE INCOME IS BELOW 200 PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. MANY OF THOSE MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES ARE ALSO ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICAID -- SO CALLED "DUAL ELIGIBLES." THERE IS EVERY COMPELLING PUBLIC POLICY REASON TO TREAT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID UNDERPAYMENTS SIMILARLY FOR PURPOSES OF A HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND INCLUDE THESE COSTS ON FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT MUST BE SHOULDERED BY THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TREATING THE COMMUNITY'S ELDERLY AND INDIGENT. THESE UNDERPAYMENTS REPRESENT A REAL COST OF SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD COUNT AS A QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT. BOTH THE AHA AND THIS ORGANIZATION ALSO FEEL THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT IS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND THUS INCLUDABLE ON THE FORM 990, SCHEDULE H, PART I. LIKE MEDICARE UNDERPAYMENT (SHORTFALLS), THERE ALSO ARE COMPELLING REASONS THAT PATIENT BAD DEBT SHOULD BE COUNTED AS QUANTIFIABLE COMMUNITY BENEFIT AS FOLLOWS: - A SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WHO, FOR MANY REASONS, DECLINE TO COMPLETE THE FORMS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY FOR HOSPITALS' CHARITY CARE OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. A 2006 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ("CBO") REPORT, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS AND THE PROVISION OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS, CITED TWO STUDIES INDICATING THAT "THE GREAT MAJORITY OF BAD DEBT WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PATIENTS WITH INCOMES BELOW 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE." - THE REPORT ALSO NOTED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. UNLIKE BAD DEBT IN OTHER INDUSTRIES, HOSPITAL BAD DEBT IS COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT HOSPITALS FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO THE COMMUNITY AND TREAT EVERY PATIENT THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY. PATIENTS WHO HAVE OUTSTANDING BILLS ARE NOT TURNED AWAY, UNLIKE OTHER INDUSTRIES. BAD DEBT IS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE AUDITING INDUSTRY'S STANDARDS ON REPORTING CHARITY CARE. MANY PATIENTS CANNOT OR DO NOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY, EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED TO BE DEEMED CHARITY CARE BY AUDITORS. AS A RESULT, ROUGHLY 40% OF BAD DEBT IS PENDING CHARITY CARE. - THE CBO CONCLUDED THAT ITS FINDINGS "SUPPORT THE VALIDITY OF THE USE OF UNCOMPENSATED CARE [BAD DEBT AND CHARITY CARE] AS A MEASURE OF COMMUNITY BENEFITS" ASSUMING THE FINDINGS ARE GENERALIZABLE NATIO

Explanation	WITH REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE BOARD POLICY ON DUALITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST REQUIRES TRUSTEES TO DISCLOSE ALL RELATIONSHIPS THAT MAY CAUSE A CONFLICT. THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES REVIEWS TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY INVOLVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST OF AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR, TRUSTEE OR KEY EMPLOYEE. THESE PROCEDURES ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FOR INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE TRANSACTION; DETERMINATION OF THE AVAILABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS THAT DO NOT POSE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST; AND PRESERVATION OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTERESTS IN TRANSACTIONS WHERE NON-CONFLICTING ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT REASONABLY ATTAINABLE. THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WITH REGARD TO SUCH TRANSACTIONS, WHICH THEN MAKES A DETERMINATION WHETHER THE TRANSACTION IS IN THE ORGANIZATION'S BEST INTEREST, WHETHER THE TRANSACTION IS FAIR AND REASONABLE AND WHETHER THERE IS A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS INTEREST FOR SUCH TRANSACTION. ANY TRUSTEE WITH A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH REGARD TO SUCH MATTER MAY NOT VOTE ON SUCH TRANSACTION. FOOTNOTE #1 ----------- The payment to Conner Strong represents consulting and insurance brokerage services provided to the organization in 2010. The bracketed amount represents costs incurred by Conner Strong in assisting Cooper with respect to the organization's Haiti relief mission. Conner Strong provided The Cooper Health System with the use of its corporate jet to assist in transporting physicians, nurses and medical supplies to Haiti for the Haiti disaster relief effort. The total cost incurred by Conner Strong for four round trip flights with respect to this effort was $123,753. It should be additionally noted that Cooper's relationship with Conner Strong and its predecessors extends back approximately twenty five years and predates Mr. Norcross' Board membership. Mr. Norcross is not personally involved either in the procurement, performance or supervision of any services rendered by Conner Strong to Cooper. The Conner Strong relationship has been annually reviewed by Cooper's independent Audit/Ethics Committee and consulting and brokerage services have been periodically subjected to a competitive bidding process. FOOTNOTE #2 ----------- Parker McCay has been providing legal services to Cooper for more than twenty five years, predating George Norcross' membership on the Cooper Health System Board of Trustees. Mr. Norcross' brother, Philip , is a shareholder and a managing officer of Parker McCay, but did not become such until well after the firm began providing legal services to Cooper. Parker's primary function as outside counsel is representing The Cooper Health System and its employees in defense of professional liability claims. Philip Norcross is not involved in the assignment, performance, or supervision of that work.	Explanation

DISCLOSURE INFORMATION	CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15	THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE") AND AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE THAT ARE TOGETHER CHARGED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WITH REVIEWING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND OBTAINING AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION SURVEY FOR COMPARISON, RESPECTIVLEY. THE COMMITTEE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH COOPER'S BYLAWS AND BENEFITS, POLICIES AND PLANS, EVALUATES AND APPROVES COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMMITTEE REVIEWS THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHICH IS INTENDED TO INCLUDE BOTH CURRENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND ALL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, BOTH QUALIFIED AND NON-QUALIFIED. THE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW IS DONE ON AT LEAST AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ENSURES THAT THE "TOTAL COMPENSATION" OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION IS REASONABLE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE COMMITTEE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE ENABLE THE ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS FOR PURPOSES OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 4958 WITH RESPECT TO THE TOTAL COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE THREE FACTORS WHICH MUST BE SATISFIED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1. THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT IS APPROVED IN ADVANCE BY AN "AUTHORIZED BODY" OF THE APPLICABLE TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION WHICH IS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE A "CONFLICT OF INTEREST" WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT; 2. THE AUTHORIZED BODY OBTAINED AND RELIED UPON "APPROPRIATE DATA AS TO COMPARABILITY" PRIOR TO MAKING ITS DETERMINATION; AND 3. THE AUTHORIZED BODY "ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED THE BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION" CONCURRENTLY WITH MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED ENTIRELY OF MEMBERS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICT OF INTEREST. THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE RETAINS AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION SURVEY FIRM TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY OF RANGES OF EXECUTIVE SALARIES BASED ON COMPARABLE HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS. THE AUDIT AND EHTICS COMMITTEE ENSURES THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE SURVEY FIRM AND ITS REPORT, REVIEWS THE REPORT, WHICH INCLUDES THE RANGES RECOMMENDED BY THE INDEPENDENT FIRM, BASED UPON MARKET DATA, AND FOLLOWING THIS REVIEW, THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE, AS APPROPRIATE, RECOMMENDS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THAT THE SALARY RANGES DOCUMENTED BY THE INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION SURVEY FIRM BE USED AS RANGES TO DETERMINE ACTUAL COMPENSATION TO SENIOR MANAGEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE EVALUATES PERFORMANCE OF EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RELIES UPON THE APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA AS ACCEPTED BY THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE; WHICH IS A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THIS STUDY USED COMPARABLE GEOGRAPHIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC MARKET DATA INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SIMILAR SIZED HOSPITALS, # OF LICENSED BEDS AND NET PATIENT SERVICE REVENUE. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTS ITS BASIS FOR ITS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DETERMINATIONS THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO REPORT DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR CHIEFS OF DEPARTMENTS MAY NOT EXCEED THE 75TH PERCENTILE OF AAMC BENCHMARK DATA WITHOUT SPECIFIC APPROVAL BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. EMPLOYED PHYSICIAN SALARIES MAY NOT EXCEED THE 75TH PERCENTILE OF A BLENDED FORMULA OF 25% ACADEMIC AND 75% PRIVATE PRACTICE OF MGMA BENCHMARK DATA WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 IS REVIEWED ANNUALLY BY THE PRESIDENT/CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INDIVIDUAL'S JOB PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR AND IS BASED UPON OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION IS PAID BY THE ORGANIZATION. OTHER OBJECTIVE FACTORS INCLUDE MARKET SURVEY DATA FOR COMPARABLE POSITIONS, INDIVIDUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, PERSONNEL REVIEWS, EVALUATIONS, SELF-EVALUATIONS AND PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK MEETINGS.
