Schedule J, Part I, Line 3The Organization is the sole member of Androscoggin Valley Hospital ("AVH"), Littleton Hospital Association d/b/a Littleton Regional Healthcare ("LRH"), Weeks Medical Center ("WMC"), Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital ("UCVH"), and North Country Home Health & Hospice Agency, Inc. ("NCHH&H"). The Organization retained the services of its interim and past Chief Executive Officer and its past President/Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Employee Leasing Agreements (the "Agreements") between the Organization and LRH and AVH. These agreements provided for LRH and AVH to lease the services of the Organization's intermin and past CEO and past President/CFO, respectively, and for the Organization to pay LRH and AVH an amount equal to the salaries of such individuals as set forth in the Agreements. The Organization obtained an opinion from the firm of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. dated March 1, 2016 as to the reasonableness of the compensation to be paid to the past CEO and past President/CFO pursuant to the Agreements, which opinion was based on a comparison of market data for similarly situated executives. AVH, LRH, WMC and UCVH - as the original constituent parties to the Affiliation Agreement that resulted in the creation of the Organization - approved the Agreements for the past CEO and past President/CFO, of which there is contemporaneous substantiation. The current interim CEO's compensation is based on the compensation determined for the past CEO.
