ExplanationOMSO received Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") approval as a tax exempt organization on December 12, 2013 under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and accordingly, is not subject to federal income tax. Management has evaluated the effect of the guidance provided by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Management believes that OMSO continues to satisfy the requirements of a tax-exempt organization at June 30, 2017. Management has evaluated all other tax positions that could have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and determined OMSO had no uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2017. OMSO's federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns (Form 990) are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationThe selection of the Monitor was made by agreement of all of the parties to the five consent judgements that comprise the Settlement. The OMSO Board of Directors does not have the right to terminate or replace the Monitor. The compensation of the Monitor is approved through the adoption process of the OMSO budget, where the Monitor expressly submits to the servicers that are subject to the Settlement and to a Monitoring Committee representing the government parties an annual budget that expressly discloses the Monitor's compensation, which budget is implemented absent an objection. Thus, the Monitor's compensation is subject to the initial contract exception under Treasury Regulation Section 53.4958-4(a)(3). Nevertheless, the compensation of the Monitor is reviewed by the OMSO Board of Directors in a process that follows the rebuttable presumption procedure described in Treasury Regulation Section 53.4958-6(c).ExplanationTxt
