Each year a copy of the written statement will be sent to the board member for updating and resubmission and by which the board member shall confirm his awareness of this policy. Procedures for addressing a conflict of interest: a. After the board or committee has determined that a member is indeed conflicted, the conflicted person may be counted in determining whether there is a quorum to act, but may not vote upon the matter. The conflicted member, or a conflicted officer who is not a member, may nevertheless make a presentation to the board or committee on the matter but, after the presentation, the conflicted person shall leave the meeting during the discussion of and vote on the matter. B. The board or committee chair may appoint one or more disinterested persons to investigate possible resolutions of the matter that are devoid of the conflict of interest. C. The board or committee shall exercise due diligence to determine whether thmg can address the matter more advantageously by means that avoid the conflict of interest. D. If the matter cannot be addressed more advantageously by means that avoid the conflict of interest, or if other approaches to resolution are impractical under the circumstances, the board or committee shall determine whether the proposed transaction or contract is in thmg's best interests, whether it is fair and reasonable, and whether to enter into it. E. If the board determines that there has been a violation of this policy, the board shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action, which may include removal (if the interested person is a board or committee member) or termination (if the interested person is an employee). Intentionally or repeatedly failing to adhere to this policy is grounds for removal from the board and its committees.”

“The compensation of executives as well as officers and key employees is determined by tower health's board of directors, which has duly appointed an executive compensation committee (the "committee"), which is responsible for the review and approval of all compensation and benefits provided to the tower health medical group's executive management. The committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy statement and an executive compensation committee charter governing the work and review process of the committee. The committee follows the procedures described in the philosophy statement and the charter when it reviews and approves the compensation and employee benefits provided to senior management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer. The committee's review analyzes every element of compensation, including current and deferred compensation, and benefits, including qualified and non-qualified benefits. The committee conducts its review and approval process at least annually, and approves compensation and benefits only to the extent that the committee has concluded that the compensation and benefits constitute no more than reasonable compensation for each executive. The committee consists entirely of disinterested members of the board, and the committee works with an independent compensation consultant to prepare and review in advance comprehensive data showing the compensation provided by similarly situated organizations for functionally similar positions. The committee also prepares a timely and thorough written record of its deliberations and conclusions. As a result, the committee's review process is designed to satisfy the procedural criteria necessary to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under the federal income tax law intermediate sanctions rules.”
