POLK MEDICAL CENTER, INC. (PMCI) HAS A WRITTEN POLICY RESPECTING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND DISCLOSURE OF SAME. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THE POLICY REQUIRES ANY "COVERED PERSON" WHO BELIEVES HE/SHE HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO: -DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST (INCLUDING ALL FACTS KNOWN RESPECTING THE SUBJECT MATTER) TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD; -PLAY NO PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE DELIBERATION OR VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST EXISTS; AND -ABSENT HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM THAT PORTION OF THE MEETING AT WHICH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST IS DISCUSSED. THE DEFINITION OF A "COVERED PERSON" INCLUDES ALL BOARD MEMBERS, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT OF FHMI. WHEN A COVERED PERSON DISCLOSES A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST TO THE BOARD CHAIRMAN, THE CHAIRMAN IS OBLIGED TO BRING THE MATTER TO THE ATTENTION OF THE FULL BOARD. THE BOARD DETERMINES WHETHER A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ACTUALLY EXISTS. IF THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE TRANSACTION OR MATTER GIVING RISE TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY NOT PROCEED UNLESS THE BOARD DETERMINES, BY A MAJORITY VOTE, THAT, DESPITE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, THE TRANSACTION/MATTER IS NEVERTHELESS IN THE CORPORATION'S BEST INTEREST AND IS FAIR AND REASONABLE TO THE CORPORATION.

AFFILIATIONS AND COMMITMENTS: THE CEDARTOWN-POLK COUNTY HOSPITAL AUTHORITY (POLK AUTHORITY) IS A HOSPITAL AUTHORITY CREATED AND ORGANIZED UNDER THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES LAW. IT IS THE OWNER OF POLK MEDICAL CENTER, A 25-BED, CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL LOCATED IN CEDARTOWN, GA. THE POLK AUTHORITY CONSISTS OF A SELF- PERPETUATING SEVEN-PERSON BOARD, ALL OF WHOM ARE POLK COUNTY RESIDENTS. IN 2011 THE POLK AUTHORITY SOLICITED PROPOSALS RESPECTING THE LEASE AND OPERATION OF POLK MEDICAL CENTER. FLOYD HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT INC. (FHMI) AND THE HOSPITAL AUTHORITY OF FLOYD COUNTY (HAFC) JOINTLY RESPONDED TO THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BY SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL UNDER WHICH THE FOLLOWING TRANSACTIONS AND UNDERTAKINGS WOULD OCCUR: (L) HAFC WOULD LEASE POLK MEDICAL CENTER FROM THE POLK AUTHORITY AND OPERATE IT FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO FIVE YEARS; (2) FHMI WOULD CREATE A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION TO BE CALLED POLK MEDICAL CENTER INC., (PMCI), WHICH WOULD HAVE A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPRISED OF NINE PERSONS APPOINTED BY FHMI, THREE OF WHOM WOULD BE RESIDENTS OF FLOYD COUNTY AND SIX OF WHOM WOULD BE RESIDENTS OF POLK COUNTY; (3) PMCI WOULD BE ENGAGED BY HAFC TO MANAGE THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATION OF POLK MEDICAL CENTER DURING THE TERM OF THE AFORESAID FIVE-YEAR LEASE; (4) PMCI AND FHMI WOULD UNDERTAKE TO CONSTRUCT A NEW, 25-BED REPLACEMENT HOSPITAL ON LAND ALREADY OWNED BY THE POLK AUTHORITY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF CEDARTOWN, WITH CONSTRUCTION TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN FIVE YEARS; AND (5) UPON COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION, THE FIVE-YEAR LEASE WOULD TERMINATE AND OWNERSHIP OF THE NEW HOSPITAL WOULD RESIDE IN THE POLK AUTHORITY, WHICH WOULD IN TURN LEASE IT TO PMCI FOR A PERIOD OF 35 YEARS. THE FOREGOING PROPOSAL WAS ACCEPTED BY THE POLK AUTHORITY, AND IN LATE 2011, AGREEMENTS BY AND AMONG FHMI, PMCI, HAFC, AND THE POLK AUTHORITY WERE EXECUTED, INCLUDING THE FIVE-YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT AND A HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT. ON APRIL 1, 2012 THE FIVE-YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT COMMENCED AT WHICH TIME HAFC BECAME THE LICENSED OPERATOR OF POLK MEDICAL CENTER, WITH THE NEWLY CREATED PMCI ENGAGED TO PROVIDE DAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENT OF THE HOSPITAL'S OPERATION. FHMI IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION CREATED IN 1991 BY HAFC. FROM NOVEMBER 26, 1991, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1997, FHMI MANAGED AND SUPERVISED FLOYD MEDICAL CENTER AND ALL OTHER FACILITIES, PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS OF HAFC PURSUANT TO A MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1998, THE AFORESAID MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WAS CONVERTED TO A LEASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH ALL FACILITIES, PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS OF HAFC WERE LEASED TO FHMI. AT THAT TIME, FHMI BECAME THE LICENSED OPERATOR OF ALL SUCH FACILITIES, PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS. FHMI IS GOVERNED BY AN EIGHTEEN MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THREE OF WHOM MUST BE MEMBERS OF HAFC.
