Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE USES CREDIBLE INDEPENDENT DATA SOURCES AND MAINTAINS AN OBJECTIVE "ARMS LENGTH" DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, ENSURING THE INTEGRITY OF SUTTER'S EXECUTIVE PROGRAMS AND CONSISTENCY WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S OVERALL MISSION. SEE SCHEDULE O NARRATIVE FOR PART VI, LINE 15 FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPENSATION APPROVAL PROCESS COMPLETED BY SUTTER HEALTH.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4A

SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4B
NONQUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN: The purpose of the nonqualified retirement plan is to provide Sutter Health executives with a competitive retirement benefit consistent with Sutter Health's overall compensation philosophy for all employees. Contributions are designed taking into consideration lost retirement benefits that would otherwise be obtained through the qualified pension plan and social security benefits. Sutter's plans are designed consistent with competitive industry practices. The retirement plan for Sutter Health employees is a combination of 403(b) employer match contributions and qualified pension plan benefits. Sutter Health executives are generally ineligible for employer match contributions. To ensure a competitive retirement benefit, Sutter Health makes an annual contribution to a non-qualified 457(f) plan for its executives. The formula provides 6% to 16% of base salary plus annual incentive plan award (commensurate with management level). Unlike Sutter Health's qualified PENSION plan where employee benefits are guaranteed (i.e., a defined benefit), Sutter's non-qualified plan benefits are not guaranteed by Sutter Health. Investment risk is borne by participants and benefits are not protected should Sutter Health become insolvent.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7
NON-FIXED PAYMENTS: SPOT AWARDS ARE INFREQUENTLY USED TO REWARD EMPLOYEES. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC GUIDELINES FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE SPOT AWARD, AVERAGE AMOUNT OF SPOT AWARDS TEND TO NOT EXCEED 5% TO 15% OF GROSS ANNUAL SALARY. ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN (AIP): THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO FOCUS EXECUTIVES ON SPECIFIC, SHORTER-TERM GOALS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AFFILIATE, OPERATING UNIT AND SYSTEM-WIDE OBJECTIVES THAT DRIVE OVERALL ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLANS: SUTTER HEALTH ALSO EMPLOYS A LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN WHICH IS DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON LONGER TERM STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION. SUTTER'S LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN APPROACH IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH LONGER TERM MEASURES OF ORGANIZATION SUCCESS AND KEY ORGANIZATION STRATEGIES WHICH REQUIRE THE COMBINED EFFORT OF ALL LEADERSHIP TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS. SUTTER USES A COMMON FATE APPROACH IN THAT ALL LONG TERM PERFORMANCE PLAN PARTICIPANTS ARE MEASURED AGAINST THE SAME, ORGANIZATION-WIDE CRITERIA VS. INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS. THIS FOSTERS A COMMON PURPOSE ACROSS LEADERSHIP AND A SHARED SENSE OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF SUTTER HEALTH. IN ALL CASES, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD DETERMINES ACHIEVEMENT OF ORGANIZATION GOALS AND MAKES FINAL AWARD DETERMINATION WHICH MAY RESULT IN A REDUCTION OF AWARD IF APPROPRIATE. ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVE AWARDS ARE REVIEWED FOR COMPENSATION REASONABLENESS AND APPROVED BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE PRIOR TO PAYMENT.
