        <Explanation>THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS DESCRIBED BELOW PERTAINS TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE (CEO) AND THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO) POSITIONS. THE CEO IS THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL. THE CFO IS AN OFFICER OF THE CORPORATION. THERE ARE NO EMPLOYEES WHO QUALIFY AS KEY EMPLOYEES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS OCCURS DURING AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE COMPENSATION FOR BOTH POSITIONS AND LAST OCCURRED IN 2011. TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR THE CEO WAS ITEMIZED INCLUDING BASE SALARY, HEALTH INSURANCE, DENTAL INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, DISABILITY, VACATION AND HOLIDAY PAY AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. ALL AMOUNTS WERE COMBINED TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR THIS POSITION. THE TOTAL COMPENSATION AMOUNT OF EACH POSITION WAS THEN MEASURED AGAINST THE 2008 - 2009 WATSON WYATT DATA FOR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS IN THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. REGIONS WITH $150 - $450 MILLION IN NET OPERATING REVENUE. THE TOTAL COMPENSATION WAS ALSO MEASURED AGAINST THE MINNESOTA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION DATA FOR HOSPITALS WITH $200 MILLION OR MORE IN TOTAL EXPENSE BUDGET. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW FOR THE CFO FOLLOWS THE SAME PROCESS. THE AFOREMENTIONED DATA FOR BOTH THE CEO AND CFO WAS THEN REVIEWED WITH AND APPROVED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. CONTEMPORANEOUS DOCUMENTS AND RECORDKEEPING WITH RESPECT TO THE DELIBERATIONS AND DECISIONS ARE MAINTAINED BY THE CEO AND HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT.</Explanation>
