DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS TERMS AND CONDITIONS: ALLINA INCENTIVE PLAN ALLINA PROVIDES AN ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION OPPORTUNITY FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGEMENT AND KEY INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR STAFF. UNDER THIS PLAN, THE TARGET AWARD IS EXPRESSED AS A FUNCTION OF THE PARTICIPANT'S SALARY PAID DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR AND REQUIRES AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS OF SERVICE IN AN ELIGIBLE POSITION DURING THE YEAR. ACTUAL AWARDS CAN RANGE FROM 0% TO 150% OF THE TARGET AWARD, BASED ON ALLINA'S FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OVER THE CALENDAR YEAR. NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES INCLUDE PATIENT & EMPLOYEE SAFETY, QUALITY, PATIENT EXPERIENCE AND FINANCIAL HEALTH. NO AWARDS ARE PROVIDED UNLESS THRESHOLD FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IS ACHIEVED. PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE LEFT EMPLOYMENT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE YEAR AS THE RESULT OF VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OR TERMINATION FOR POOR PERFORMANCE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AN AWARD. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP) ALLINA HAS A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN THAT PROVIDES A CASH AWARD OPPORTUNITY TO A SMALL NUMBER OF TOP EXECUTIVES APPROVED FOR PARTICIPATION BY THE HUMAN RESOURCES & COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ALLINA HEALTH ("THE COMMITTEE"). THE AWARD OPPORTUNITY IS BASED ON ALLINA PERFORMANCE DURING OVERLAPPING THREE-YEAR CYCLES. PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS ARE DEFINED BY THE COMMITTEE FOR EACH THREE-YEAR PERIOD AND CAN VARY FROM ONE PERIOD TO ANOTHER DEPENDING ON THE COMMITTEE'S JUDGMENT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURES OF SUCCESS.
