THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE IOWA HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS ("COMMITTEE") CONDUCTS A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF ALL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PROVIDED TO THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE IHS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (THE "CEO"). THIS REVIEW COMPARES THE TOTAL COMPENSATION AND VALUE OF BENEFITS PROVIDED TO EACH EXECUTIVE, ON A POSITION BY POSITION BASIS, TO THAT PROVIDED TO FUNCTIONALLY SIMILAR POSITIONS IN SIMILARLY SITUATED ORGANIZATIONS. THIS REVIEW IS CONDUCTED BY THE COMMITTEE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A NATIONAL, INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT REPORTING DIRECTLY TO THE COMMITTEE. THE COMMITTEE HAS BEEN DELEGATED THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERSIGHT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AND IS MADE UP ENTIRELY OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE "REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS" UNDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES. THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT HOLDS ITSELF OUT TO THE PUBLIC AS A COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, PERFORMS THESE VALUATIONS ON A REGULAR BASIS, IS QUALIFIED TO MAKE THE VALUATIONS OF THE SERVICES INVOLVED, AND HAS SO INDICATED IN A WRITTEN CERTIFICATION TO THE COMMITTEE. BASED UPON THE ADVICE OF THE COMPENSATION CONSULTANT, AND APPLYING THE BOARD'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY, THE COMMITTEE ESTABLISHES THE OVERALL ADJUSTMENT IN COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR THE TOP EXECUTIVES IN THE ENTIRE HEALTH SYSTEM (SEVERAL OF WHICH ARE EMPLOYEES OF THE FILING ORGANIZATION) AND DELEGATES TO THE CEO THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, CONSISTENT WITH THE COMMITTEE'S DIRECTION, FOR THE OTHER EXECUTIVES. THE COMMITTEE DETERMINES ALL ASPECTS OF THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS OF THE CEO. THE COMMITTEE INTENTIONALLY TAKES ALL THE STEPS NECESSARY TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION OF REASONABLENESS UNDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS RULES, INCLUDING CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF ALL COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND ACTIONS. THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES IT IS IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 4958 OF THE IRC, PROVIDES NO MORE THAN REASONABLE AND FAIR MARKET VALUE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS FOR ITS EMPLOYEES AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY EXCESS COMPENSATION OR BENEFITS AS PROHIBITED BY SECTION 4958.
