During the term of a certain sponsorship agreement by and between Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania (BCNEPA), which commenced on Oct. 23, 2007 and will conclude on Oct. 22, 2020, and the corporation, BCNEPA shall be entitled to appoint that number of individuals as is sufficient to constitute at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of voting members of the board. Trustees so appointed shall serve for terms ending on Oct. 22, 2020 or upon earlier termination, for any reason, of the sponsorship agreement. Such trustees shall be removed from the board only "for cause" pursuant to Section 6 of this article. In the event any sponsorship trustee is removed for cause, or ceases to serve by reason of death, resignation or otherwise, BCNEPA shall appoint another individual to fill such vacancy for the remainder of the term. Under an assignment and assumption agreement between BCNEPA and AllOne Foundation dated June 1, 2015, BCNEPA assigned all of its rights and interests under its sponsorship agreement with TCMC to the AllOne Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) organization. These articles of incorporation may be amended or restated by a super majority vote (as hereinafter defined) of the board of directors of the corporation or by unanimous written consent of all members of the board of directors of the corporation. This provision is pursuant to procedures set forth in the bylaws, provided that no amendment of Article X or of Article XII of these articles shall be effective and no amendment of any other provision of these articles that is consistent with Article X or Article XII shall become effective, unless approved in writing by Hospital Services Association of Northeastern Pennsylvania, now AllOne Foundation. For purposes hereof, a "super majority vote" means the affirmative vote of at least seventy-six percent (76%) of the voting members of the board of directors in office or the unanimous written consent of all voting members of the board of directors. The affirmative vote of at least seventy-six percent (76%) of the voting trustees in office shall be required for board approval of the following actions of the corporation or for the corporation's incurring any obligation or making any commitment in respect of such actions: I. Election or appointment of a chairman of the board; II. Approval of any fundamental transaction (as defined below); III. Approval of the corporation's annual operating budget and capital budgets and any material variations therefrom; IV. Approval of strategic business plans and material variations therefrom; V.

Approval of any amendment of the corporation's bylaws or articles of incorporation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B | The College's Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the college's Accounting Department. A copy of the Form 990 was circulated to the Board of Trustees by the vice president of finance and by the administration for discussion and comment. Each trustee was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its electronic filing with the Internal Revenue Service. The trustees have reviewed the "as filed" copy of the 990. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c | Each officer, director, trustee, key employee and the financial manager of the College is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of their employment, board service or their position with the College. The College monitors compliance with its conflict-of-interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts of interest are required to be disclosed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a & 15b | The College undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays its top management official and all of the officers and key employees is reasonable given the market in which the College competes and operates. In relevant part, the board of directors has established a Compensation Committee of independent persons who have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. The Compensation Committee contracts with a compensation consultant every two years to complete a market assessment and competitive analysis for the College's top executives. The compensation consultant utilizes comparability and benchmarking data to ensure that the College compensates its executives commensurate with the market. The Compensation Committee will then set the compensation for the president and dean and document the decision in board minutes. Other positions are set by the president and dean given market assessments and competitive positions, as well as information from the executive compensation review. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 | The College makes its 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org. The organization's financial statements, governing documents and conflict-of-interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion. |
