| PART IV, SECTION D, LINE 3: | THE FARM IS OWNED BY THE NATURAL LANDS TRUST(" NLT"). ITS USE IS RESTRICTED BY A PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT HELD BY THE BRANDYWINE CONSERVANCY. IN ADDITION, NLT AND STROUD ARE PARTIES TO A RESEARCH AGREEMENT ALLOWING STROUD TO CONTROL THE USE OF THE WATERSHEDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE LONG-TEM SCIENTIFIC STUDIES CONDUCTED BY STROUD. ACCORDINGLY, THE FOUNDATIONS'S FUNDS NOT ONLY BENEFIT NLT DIRECTLY, BUT ALSO BENEFIT STROUD. IF NLT EVER BREACHES THE RESEARCH AGREEMENT, THE FOUNDATION'S SUPPORT IS REQUIRED TO BE PAID DIRECTLY TO STROUD. |
| PART IV, SECTION E, LINE 2A: | THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY 77% OF THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL FUNDS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE FARM. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD MEETS ANNUALLY WITH THE PRESIDENT AND STAFF OF NLT TO REVIEW IN DETAIL, AND APPROVE OR MODIFY, THE OPERATING BUDGET, AS WELL AS BOTH SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE FARM, DETERMINE THE ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESERVES, AND THE LIKE. IN THE COURSE OF THIS REVIEW, THE BOARD IS INFORMED ABOUT THE RESEARCH PROJECTS CONDUCTED BY STROUD OVER THE PAST YEAR AND APPROVE ACTIVITIES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR. THE BOARD ALSO REVIEWS THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENT AND CONSIDERS WHETHER THE SPENDING POLICY ADOPTED BY THE FOUNDATION'S TRUSTEES SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO SATISFY THE LONG TERM NEEDS OF NLT AND STROUD. AS REQUIRED BY THE FOUNDATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, AT LEAST ONE TRUSTEE MUST BE APPOINTED BY THE NATURAL LANDS TRUST (NLT) AND ONE BY STROUD WATER RESEARCH CENTER (STROUD). THE PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION IS ALSO THE PRESIDENT, DIRECTOR, AND SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST OF STROUD. MOLLY MORRISON, THE RECENTLY RETIRED PRESIDENT OF NLT, SERVES AS NLT'S APPOINTED TRUSTEE. SAMUEL WAGNER, PREVIOUSLY APPOINTED BY NLT, CONTINUES TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD. |
| PART IV, SECTION E, LINE 2B: | THE GEORGIA FARM FOUNDATION (THE "FOUNDATION") WAS ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE FINANCIAL UNDERPINNING FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF A 340-ACRE FARM (THE "FARM") WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF WHICH ARE THREE CONTROLLED WATERSHEDS ON WHICH THE STROUD WATER RESEARCH CENTER ("STROUD") CONDUCTS LONG-TERM SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF THE EFFECTS OF VARIOUS FARMING AND OTHER LAND-USE ACTIVITIES ON THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF FRESH WATER. |

THIS FARM IS OWNED BY THE NATURAL LANDS TRUST("NLT"). ITS USE IS RESTRICTED BY A PERPETUAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT HELD BY THE BRANDYWINE CONSERVANCY. IN ADDITION, NLT AND STROUD ARE PARTIES TO A RESEARCH AGREEMENT ALLOWING STROUD TO CONTROL THE USE OF THE WATERSHEDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE LONG-TERM SCIENTIFIC STUDIES CONDUCTED BY STROUD.

THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES APPROXIMATELY 77% OF THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL FUNDS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF THE FARM. THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD MEETS ANNUALLY WITH THE PRESIDENT AND STAFF OF NLT TO REVIEW IN DETAIL, AND APPROVE OR MODIFY, THE OPERATING BUDGET, AS WELL AS BOTH SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM CAPITAL PROJECTS FOR THE FARM, DETERMINE THE ADEQUACY OF CAPITAL RESERVES, AND THE LIKE. IN THE COURSE OF THIS REVIEW, THE BOARD IS INFORMED ABOUT THE RESEARCH PROJECTS CONDUCTED BY STROUD OVER THE PAST YEAR AND APPROVE ACTIVITIES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
