SPECIFICALLY, FOR: A) THE CEO - COMPENSATION FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER IS ESTABLISHED IN AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AFFINITY HEALTH PLAN. THE BOARD AND THE COMMITTEE HAS ESTABLISHED COMPENSATION TERMS FOR THE CEO THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT, CONSIDERING COMPARABILITY DATA FOR CEO POSITIONS IN SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS IN THEIR DELIBERATIONS AND DECISION MAKING. THESE DECISIONS ARE DOCUMENTED. THE COMPENSATION TERMS INCLUDE PROVISIONS FOR ANNUAL SALARY ADJUSTMENTS AND DISCRETIONARY BONUS COMPENSATION, BOTH WITH SPECIFIC CAPS DEFINED IN THE CONTRACT.
