“Description of the process used to monitor transactions for conflicts of interest on an annual basis the medical center and its affiliates ("corporation") submit a comprehensive questionnaire to board members, senior management and purchasing personnel requiring disclosure of all interests that could give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest. The medical center initiates follow up contact with those who do not respond and to clarify responses, where necessary. The medical center reviews each disclosure and provides a summary of relevant disclosures for the review and approval of its nominating and governance committee. Pursuant to the conflicts of interest policy of the corporation, directors, officers, physician leaders, and others who are subject to the policy are required to promptly and fully disclose in writing any actual, apparent or potential conflict of interest to the president of the corporation and chief legal officer. Disclosures are provided to the nominating and governance committee of the corporation which considers all conflicts of interest issues and, if appropriate, provides such written disclosure to the directors and/or board committees considering the proposed transaction or other appropriate parties. In addition, on an annual basis, the corporation surveys each individual subject to the policy as to the existence of actual or potential conflicts of interest. The corporation will not enter into an agreement, transaction or other arrangement involving a conflict of interest unless the disinterested members of the nominating and governance committee of the corporation's board of directors determine by a majority vote that appropriate safeguards to protect the charitable mission of the corporation have been implemented. The subject interested person may not be present when the vote is taken. If it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, a disinterested person or committee of disinterested members may be assigned to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement, with reasonable efforts, from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction is in the corporation's best interest and for its own benefit and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement.”

“Description of the process by which the compensation of certain executives was determined the authority to review and approve executive compensation has been delegated to the compensation committee of children's hospital of chicago medical center board of directors ("compensation committee"). The compensation committee has adopted a written executive compensation philosophy, which it follows when it reviews and approves the compensation and benefits of the organization's senior management, including the president. The compensation philosophy is subject to periodic review for continued appropriateness by the compensation committee. With the assistance of a compensation consultant and information from a variety of external sources (specified on schedule j), the compensation committee confirmed the total amounts to be paid were reasonable and comparable to amounts paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally similar positions. Legal counsel advises the compensation committee with respect to federal tax requirements in setting compensation and the establishment of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness. The process followed by the compensation committee, including a description of the data relied upon and the compensation committee's decisions, was thoroughly and contemporaneously documented. The compensation committee has expressly reviewed the reasonableness of all such payments, and has concluded, as the result of a process that is designed to qualify for the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness under federal tax law, that all such amounts are reasonable and do not exceed fair market value for the services provided. The compensation committee is comprised of members of children's hospital of chicago medical center board of directors who have been determined to be disinterested for these purposes. The compensation committee conducts an ongoing and periodic review of the disinterested status of its members, and will take appropriate action with respect to anyone having an interest with respect to one or more executives so as to preserve the application of the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness.”
