        <Explanation>SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 1A: Travel for Companions Methodist requires all employees including officers to provide written substantiation of all expenses related to their business travel through the provision of detailed receipts in order to receive approval from their direct superiors for reimbursement in accordance with our corporate policy on travel and other business expenses. In 2012, the President/CEO had 3 trips approved for attendance at out of state meetings where it was deemed appropriate by the Chair of our Board that the attendance of the President/CEO's spouse (and the related expenses for her travel to these meetings) was integral to conducting effective Methodist business at these meetings. Health or Social Club Dues As stipulated by the employment contract of the CEO, he is entitled to annual membership in the Houston City Club paid for by The Methodist Hospital in support of Methodist related business development activities. This amount is not included in the taxable income of the CEO as it directly relates to the hospital's tax exempt business purpose. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 4A: The Methodist Hospital System has a formal severance plan. Eligible employees include all staff including hourly staff up through senior vice presidents provided they work at least 20 hours per week and are not otherwise covered by a physician employment agreement. The plan only provides salary and benefits in the event an eligible employee is involuntarily terminated due to the elimination of their position or if their current position is significantly impacted by an organizational restructuring or change in requirement and a comparable position is not available within the organization. The eligible person must also sign a termination agreement in order to receive salary continuation and benefits under the plan to which they would not normally be eligible to receive under a voluntary resignation. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, LINE 4B: The Methodist Hospital has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, a non-qualified employer funded plan. Contributions are made annually into a tax deferred account and are considered taxable upon vesting (i.e. completion of three years of vesting service). Once vested, each year's subsequent contribution is taxable within the calendar year in which the deposit was made. Account balances cannot be accessed until retirement or termination (whichever occurs first) and may be subject to non-revocable distribution options selected upon employment. Pursuant to Treasury Reg Section 1 6033-2(D)(5), The Methodist Hospital has elected to report information about contributions, gifts &amp; grants, compensation and other information about Officers, Directors, Trustees, Key Employees, Former Employees, certain other highly paid employees, certain professional contractors and certain other contractors on a consolidated basis for all of the members of the group, including the parent organization, on the Group Return of Methodist Hospital Group, EIN 35-2410801. SCHEDULE J, PAGE 1, QUESTION 7: This organization provides variable compensation opportunity through an annual management incentive plan. Executives at the Assistant Vice President level and above may be eligible to participate. The annual incentive program is based on system and operating entity level performance in the areas of quality improvement outcomes, patient satisfaction and financial performance. In addition, a portion of the payout percentage is based on goals that are specific to the participants' management roles at the division or department level including but not limited to such metrics as operating results, quality and safety improvements, customer satisfaction measures, growth and innovation initiatives. Determination of a participant's percentage of the potential bonus payout (paid as a percent of base salary) is based on whether the individual attains agreed upon goals for their area of responsibility as determined by their immediate supervisor.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Executive Committee consists of the officers who are members of the Board of Directors as defined in the Bylaws; the Resident Bishop; and one Physician Director. In the event of an emergency when there is insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee has and may exercise all the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation in such a manner as the Executive Committee may deem to be in the best interest of the Corporation in all cases in which specific directions have been given by the Board of Directors, provided any action which the Committee may take does not conflict with the mission of the Corporation and the policies and directives of the Board of Directors. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors, upon the calling of any Executive Committee meeting, as the first item of business, is required to state the nature of the emergency and the fact that there was insufficient time to convene the Board of Directors, which is recorded in the minutes before any action is deemed valid and on behalf of the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the membership of said Committee are filled by appointment of the Chairperson and approval by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee meets upon the call of the Chairperson. The Committee keeps regular minutes of its proceedings and forthwith delivers by mail, facsimile, email, or in person, a written report of the same to all members of the Board of Directors. All Acts or resolutions of the Executive Committee are subject to the approval of, or revision by, the Board of Directors, but no rights of third parties are affected by any such revision. The Secretary of the Corporation acts as Secretary of the Executive Committee.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>This organization follows IRS regulations as it relates to establishing a rebuttable presumption of reasonableness related to total compensation of key employees and compensated officers of the organization listed below. It has established a process that includes the following elements: A separate committee (the Board Committee) comprised of independent directors meets at least annually to review, deliberate and make recommendations to the Board as it relates to any changes in total compensation including base pay, bonus awards from incentive programs or benefits and perquisites of the CEO and other officers and some key employees (typically those who report directly to the CEO). The Board Committee establishes that no member has any conflict of interest with regard to the executive compensation arrangements being approved. The Board Committee reviews and considers information provided by an external consultant engaged to ensure it has direct access to: - Compensation information paid by comparable organizations, for functionally comparable positions. - Compensation norms in the organization's immediate locale and from other independent compensation surveys by nationally recognized independent firms that represent the organization's logical peer group; - Compensation information that includes information on base salary, incentives, benefits and perquisites for total compensation comparison purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking. The committee relies on the comparability data to reach consensus that its recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation changes are reasonable and in line with this organization's overall total compensation philosophy for executive pay. The deliberation and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The compensation for positions held by Key Employees not included in the process above, is determined based on a thorough review of numerous compensation studies conducted by nationally recognized, independent firms that provide market data for total compensation for similar positions. The compensation information considered includes information on base salary, incentives, and benefits for total compensation purposes to ensure reasonable competitive ranking in order to meet recruitment and retention objectives that secure the talent required to contribute to organizational success.</Explanation>
