THE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE OF UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION (UVPC) IS TO PROVIDE PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY SERVED BY UPPER VALLEY MEDICAL CENTER, A RELATED, TAX-EXEMPT HOSPITAL. AS A PART OF THE UVMC HEALTH SYSTEM, UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION PROVIDES CHARITY CARE TO ITS PATIENTS AND IS COMMITTED TO PRESERVING LONG-TERM ACCESS TO QUALITY HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR MIAMI COUNTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED IN 1994 TO ASSURE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE CARE AT AN ACCEPTABLE COST FOR PATIENTS IN A MANAGED CARE ENVIRONMENT. DURING 2013, UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION PROVIDED CARE AT EIGHT LOCATIONS IN MIAMI AND DARKE COUNTIES. SERVICES INCLUDE FAMILY MEDICINE, INTERNAL MEDICINE, AND PEDIATRICS.

UVMC SHALL COMPLY WITH AND IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN AND SHALL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION THAT MATERIALLY DEPARTS FROM THIS PLAN WITHOUT PREMIER'S APPROVAL. UVMC SHALL IMPLEMENT THE CAPITAL AND OPERATING BUDGET SO APPROVED AND/OR REVISED FOR IT BY PREMIER. UVMC SHALL IMPLEMENT ANY BUSINESS PLAN APPROVED BY PREMIER. PREMIER IS THE SOLE AGENT TO NEGOTIATE ALL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PAYORS ON BEHALF OF UVMC WITH ALL THIRD PARTY PAYORS AND ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, INSURERS. UVMC MUST HAVE APPROVAL FROM PREMIER TO BORROW IN ANY FISCAL YEAR, GUARANTEE IN ANY YEAR, OR INCUR ANY LIEN OR OTHER ENCUMBRANCE ON ANY PROPERTY IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN $1,000,000. UVMC MUST SEEK PREMIER'S APPROVAL FOR ANY ACQUISITIONS, SALE OR TRANSFER OF ANY MATERIAL ASSET USED IN PREMIER'S ACTIVITIES.

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, QUESTION 7B: SEE THE RESPONSE ABOVE FOR FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, QUESTION 3. PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B: THIS 990 TAX RETURN AND ATTACHED SCHEDULES (THE RETURN) ARE PREPARED BY A STAFF MEMBER IN THE TAX DEPARTMENT OF PREMIER HEALTH (PREMIER), OF WHICH UVMC (THE PARENT OF UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION) IS AN AFFILIATE. THE RETURN IS REVIEWED BY THE TAX MANAGER AND DIRECTOR OF TAX COMPLIANCE OF PREMIER. THE RETURN IS CONCURRENTLY SENT TO ERNST & YOUNG U.S. LLP FOR THEIR REVIEW. AFTER ALL CHANGES FROM THE ABOVE GROUPS ARE MADE, THE RETURN IS REVIEWED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT/CONTROLLER OF PREMIER AND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THIS ENTITY. A FINAL VERSION OF THE RETURN IS SENT TO ERNST & YOUNG U.S. LLP FOR A FINAL REVIEW AND THEN PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR REVIEW. AT A BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING, THE VICE PRESIDENT/CONTROLLER OF PREMIER (OR DESIGNEE) SHARES DETAILED INFORMATION ON COMPENSATION AND OTHER KEY AREAS, AS WELL AS ADDRESSES ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PENDING THEIR REVIEW. THE 990 TAX RETURN IS ALSO SHARED WITH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF PREMIER. PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C: PREMIER HEALTH (PREMIER), OF WHICH UVMC (THE PARENT OF UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION) IS AN AFFILIATE, REQUIRES ALL BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, VICE PRESIDENTS, DIRECTORS, PURCHASING DEPARTMENT STAFF, AUTHORIZED PURCHASERS, MEDICAL DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT AND SECTIONS CHAIRS, AND ALL EMPLOYED PHYSICIANS TO ANNUALLY REVIEW THE PREMIER COMPREHENSIVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST STATEMENT, AN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM, THE ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE POLICY, AND COMPLETE AN INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONNAIRE DISCLOSING ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AS DEFINED IN THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED EITHER BY WAY OF AN ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION SENT OUT DIRECTLY BY THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT OR BY WAY OF A MEMO SENT OUT FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PREMIER. IT ALSO INCLUDES AN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM OF SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES THAT MIGHT GIVE CAUSE TO A CONFLICT AND AN INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONNAIRE TO DISCLOSE ALL SUCH ACTIVITIES. THIS QUESTIONNAIRE MUST BE COMPLETED AND SIGNED BY THE INDIVIDUAL. THIS CORRESPONDENCE INCLUDES A COPY OF THE ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE POLICY THAT MUST BE SIGNED BY THE INDIVIDUAL. ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS ARE SENT TO THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE OFFICER. THE CORPORATE COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT ENSURES ALL FORMS ARE RETURNED AND RETAINS THE DOCUMENTS FOR FIVE YEARS. IN ADDITION, AT EACH MEETING OF THE BOARD OR ANY BOARD COMMITTEE, FOLLOWING APPROVAL OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING'S MINUTES, THE BOARD COMMITTEE CHAIR SHALL REQUEST ANY BOARD MEMBER WHO PERCEIVES A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON ANY OF THE MEETING'S AGENDA ITEMS TO DISCLOSE THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT. ADDITIONALLY, AT ANY BOARD OR BOARD COMMITTEE MEETING WHERE THE SUBJECT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED, THE MINUTES SHALL CONTAIN THE NAME OF THE PARTY DISCUSSING A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE NATURE OF THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS FOUND TO EXIST.

PART VI, LINE 15A & 15B: PREMIER HEALTH, OF WHICH UVMC (THE PARENT OF UPPER VALLEY PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION) IS AN AFFILIATE, FOLLOWS A MARKET BASED COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY DESIGNED TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE EXECUTIVE TALENT REQUIRED TO MEET THE HIGH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS OF OUR BOARD AND OUR COMMUNITY. PREMIER ANNUALLY REVIEWS EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SURVEY DATA FOR A REGIONAL PEER GROUP OF SYSTEMS AND HOSPITALS THAT ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE AND COMPLEXITY TO PREMIER AND ITS AFFILIATES. THE DATA FOR THE SURVEY IS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT GROUP THAT IS INDEPENDENT OF PREMIER. THIS REPORT INCLUDES COMPARABILITY FOR KEY EXECUTIVES, VICE PRESIDENTS, AND DIRECTOR LEVEL POSITIONS. THE INDEPENDENT COMPARABILITY DATA IS REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. THIS COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF THREE MEMBERS, ALL OF WHICH ARE INDEPENDENT. THIS COMMITTEE REVIEWS IN DETAIL THE COMPENSATION FOR THE PREMIER CEO, COO, CFO, CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER, AND THE HOSPITAL CEOS. OTHER POSITIONS ARE REVIEWED AT A HIGH LEVEL FOR REASONABLENESS. ALL THE MEETING MINUTES ARE DOCUMENTED AND KEPT ON FILE ALONG WITH ANY COMPARABILITY DATA AND THE CONSULTANT REPORT. AFTER THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND APPROVES THE COMPENSATION ACTIONS, THE PROCESS IS AUDITED BY THE INTERNAL AUDIT DEPARTMENT. THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE PRESENTS THE COMPENSATION ACTIONS TO THE PREMIER BOARD ANNUALLY.
