| Form 990, Pat VI, Line 12c - Conflicts | 1. In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person or other person subject to this policy must disclose the existence and nature of his or her financial interest in writing to the President of Centegra or the Chief Corporate Responsiblity Officer or designee, who shall provide such written disclosure to the Governors Affairs Committee of Centegra, which shall consider all conflicts of interest issues and, if appropriate, to the directors and members of committees with board-delegated powers considering the proposed transaction of arrangement. The disclosure must occur, at minimum, annually, with a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement being submitted no later than January 31st of each year. Copies of disclosure statements filed by Board members shall be distributed to the Board annually at the February Board meeting. 2. When a conflict of interest is disclosed at meeting of the board or committee thereof, after disclosure of the financial interest, the interested person shall leave the board or committee meeting while the financial interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. The interested person's leaving such meeting shall not affect whether a quorum exists at such meeting. 3. Procedures for Addressing the Transaction of Arrangement from Which the Conflict Arose. The chairperson of the board of committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board of committee shall determine whether Centegra can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement with reasonable efforts from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in Centegra's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to Centegra and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. 4.Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy: If the administration, the Board, or a committee has a reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the Board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall refer the matter to the Governors Affairs Committee for consideration, which shall subsequently recommend appropriate disciplinary and corrective action to such board or committee. 5. The minutes of the board and all committees with board-delegated powers shall contain the names of the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine whether a conflict of interest was present, and the board's or committee's decision as to whether a conflict of interest, in fact, existed. The names of the persons who were present for discussions and votes relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussion, including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a record of any votes taken in connection therewith.

A voting member of any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and who receives compensation, directly or indirectly, form Centegra for services is precluded from voting on matters pertaining to that member's compensation. Physicians who receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from Centegra, whether as employees or independent contractors, are precluded from membership on any committee whose jurisdiction includes compensation matters and in which such physician may have a direct or indirect interest. 7.

The periodic reviews shall, at a minimum, include the following subjects: Whether acquisition of physician practices and other provider services result in inurement or impermissible private benefit. Whether partnership and joint venture arrangements and arrangements with management service organizations and physician hospital organizations conform to written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable payment for goods and services, further Centegra's charitable purposes and do not result in inurement or impermissible private benefit.

The policy includes, but is not limited to, when an individual, governor, committee member, officer, agent or employee believes that he or she, or a member of his or her immediate family might have or does have a real or apparent conflict, he or she should in addition to filing the disclosure notice required, abstain from making motions, voting, executing agreements, or taking any other similar direct action on behalf of CHS. Not withstanding, it is understood that both real and apparent conflicts of interest sometimes naturally occur in the course of conducting daily affairs. Conflicts occur because the many persons associated with CHS should be expected to have, and do in fact generally have multiple interests and affiliations, and various positions of responsibility within the community. The long-range interests of CHS do not require the termination of an association with persons who have real or apparent conflicts, if an effective method can render such conflicts harmless to all concerned. During fiscal year 2011, CHS purchased certain goods and/or services from organizations with director's affiliation. All transactions were competitively bid and conducted at arms length. The fees paid were at fair market value. Director Kathy Powell is an employee and Vice President of Home State Bank.
