CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 12 THE ORGANIZATION IS THE PARENT ENTITY IN THE ABINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THE ORGANIZATION REGULARLY MONITORS AND ENFORCES COMPLIANCE WITH ITS CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. ANNUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, OFFICERS AND MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND COMPLETE A QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES ARE RETURNED TO AMH'S CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER THE CHIEF COMPLIANCE OFFICER PREPARES A SUMMARY OF THE COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES WHICH CONTAINS INFORMATION DISCLOSED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BY INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND REVIEWS THIS SUMMARY WITH AMH'S VP OF LEGAL AFFAIRS/GENERAL COUNSEL. THIS SUMMARY IS THEN GIVEN TO A SUB-COMMITTEE OF AMH'S AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW. THEREAFTER, THE SUB COMMITTEE OF THE AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE COMMITTEE OF AMH REVIEWS AND MAKES DECISIONS ON HOW TO HANDLE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND ASSOCIATED MITIGATING BEHAVIOR TO BE TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION IF APPLICABLE.
CORE FORM, PART VI, SECTION B; QUESTION 15 THE ORGANIZATION IS THE PARENT ENTITY IN THE ABINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM; A TAX-EXEMPT INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM ("SYSTEM"). THE ORGANIZATION'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS AN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ("COMMITTEE"). THE COMMITTEE HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY WHICH IT FOLLOWS WHEN IT REVIEWS AND APPROVES OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/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. THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE 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, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/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 COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH OF WHO ARE INDEPENDENT AND ARE FREE FROM ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. THE COMMITTEE RELIED UPON APPROPRIATE COMPARABLE DATA; SPECIFICALLY THE COMMITTEE OBTAINED A WRITTEN COMPENSATION STUDY FROM AN INDEPENDENT FIRM WHICH SPECIALIZES IN THE REVIEWING OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. THE PEER GROUP CHOSEN FOR COMPARISON SHOULD REFLECT THE FACT THAT ABINGTON HEALTH IS A MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THE PEER GROUP WILL CONTAIN NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS COMPARABLE IN SIZE AND COMPLEXITY TO ABINGTON HEALTH. THE PEER GROUP WOULD CONSIST OF INDEPENDENT, SINGLE AND MULTI-HOSPITAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS THAT HAVE AN EMPHASIS ON TEACHING AND RANGE IN SIZE FROM HALF AS LARGE TO UP TO TWICE AS LARGE AS ABINGTON HEALTH. ALTHOUGH THIS PEER GROUP WILL CONTAIN ORGANIZATIONS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE U.S., ABINGTON HEALTH WILL ALSO EXAMINE REGIONAL (MID-ATLANTIC) AND LOCAL (PHILADELPHIA) PAY LEVELS. THE COMMITTEE ADEQUATELY DOCUMENTED ITS BASIS FOR ITS DETERMINATION THROUGH THE TIMELY PREPARATION OF WRITTEN MINUTES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS DURING WHICH THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WAS REVIEWED AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED. THE ACTIONS OUTLINED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AND VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE/CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF CERTAIN OTHER INDIVIDUALS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 990 ARE 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.

THE HOURS SHOWN ON THIS FORM 990, FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE NO COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, REPRESENT THE ESTIMATED HOURS DEVOTED PER WEEK FOR THIS ORGANIZATION. TO THE EXTENT THESE INDIVIDUALS SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF OTHER RELATED ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SYSTEM, THEIR RESPECTIVE HOURS PER WEEK PER ORGANIZATION ARE APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR. THE HOURS REFLECTED ON PART VII OF THIS FORM 990, FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES RENDERED IN A NON-BOARD CAPACITY, PAID OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, REFLECT TOTAL HOURS WORKED PER WEEK ON BEHALF OF ABINGTON HEALTH SYSTEM; NOT SOLELY THIS ORGANIZATION.
