        <ReturnReference>PART X, LINE 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) HAS RULED THAT THE PROGRAM QUALIFIES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(5) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS, THEREFORE, NOT SUBJECT TO TAX UNDER PRESENT INCOME TAX LAWS. U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES REQUIRE MANAGEMENT OF AN ORGANIZATION TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATION AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY (OR ASSET) IF THE ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS. THE PROGRAM'S MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE PROGRAM, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012 THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY (OR ASSET) OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE PROGRAM IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. THE PROGRAM'S MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2009. THE PROGRAM'S POLICY IS TO RECOGNIZE INCOME TAX RELATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES AS A COMPONENT OF INTEREST EXPENSE AND OTHER EXPENSES. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011 THE PROGRAM HAS NOT INCURRED ANY INTEREST OR PENALTIES RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.</Explanation>
