        <Explanation>FY 2010 Executive Annual Incentive Plan: The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the "Committee") establishes the performance measures for the one-year plan and the incentive award opportunity for each participant in this plan. Performance measures and goals are defined for each entity. The incentive awards are determined on the weighted blend of all the entities' performance. The performance measures include the following indicators: strategic, operational, financial, patient satisfaction, clinical and service quality, and human resources. The performance measures established by the Committee use revenue as a factor in determining some measures for the financial targets. The payment of annual incentives is contingent on achieving System budgeted operating margin. FY 2010 CAPITAL ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT: THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS ESTABLISHED THE CAPITAL ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT ("CAA") PROGRAM FOR THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE LEADERS. CAA IS A SUPPLEMENTAL DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN TO ALLOW EXECUTIVES TO SAVE FOR RETIREMENT, AS THEIR RETIREMENT BENEFITS IN BROAD-BASED PLANS COVERING ALL EMPLOYEES ARE CAPPED AND DO NOT RECOGNIZE THEIR FULL SALARIES.</Explanation>
