Specific projects include those that lessen the burdens of government or improving traffic and access into the Longwood Medical Area. Part X, Line 2: The Company accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. The Company has identified its tax status as a tax-exempt entity as its only significant tax position and has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. The Company's Federal and State tax returns are generally open for examination for three years following the date filed.

Voting Membership in the Corporation is limited to organizations exempt from federal income taxation under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) or Section 115 of the Internal Revenue code. Members are represented at any meeting of the Members by their respective chief executive officer, a member of their governing board, or by such person as may be designated in writing and delivered to the President or Clerk of the Corporation. Each Member of the Corporation shall continue to be a Member until such Member's dissolution or resignation or until such membership is terminated as provided by the By-Laws or by action of the Members or Directors. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a A written notice of every meeting of members stating the place, day and hour and the purpose for which the meeting is called shall be given by the clerk or other person calling the meeting at least 7 days before the meeting to each member. Each member entitled to vote shall have one vote on every matter considered at a meeting of members and may vote either in person through its representative or by written proxy dated not more than 3 months before the meeting. Any election by members for any office shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the members entitled to vote in the election. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the members may be taken without a meeting if all members entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing and written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of members. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 A complete copy of Form 990 and all related schedules is provided to the members of the Board of Directors before the Form 990 is filed. MASCO notified Board Members by e-mail that the form 990 was available to be viewed. The e-mail contained a link to the password-protected website where the entire Form 990 could be viewed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c MASCO does regularly and consistently monitor and enforce compliance with its conflict of interest policy as follows: A copy of the policy is distributed at the Annual Board meeting and also with the Annual Disclosure Packet. MASCO requests all directors, officers and key employees to complete and submit an annual disclosure statement, which asks the individual completing the statement to describe any existing conflict or state that he or she is aware of none. MASCO's governing board actively addresses potential conflicts of interest at meetings where new transactions are contemplated. MASCO requires each director, officer and key employee to complete a questionnaire in addition to the annual disclosure statement, which serves both to assist MASCO in completing Form 990 and to further ensure compliance with its conflict of interest policy. MASCO actively engages its directors, officers, or key employees to assure receipt of this information on an annual basis. The General Counsel of the organization reviews all questionnaires and disclosure statements. In the event that she determines there is a potential conflict, the General Counsel will notify the President of the organization and, if necessary in the judgment of General Counsel and/or the President, outside counsel to the organization. If a potential conflict arises involving the General Counsel or the President of the Organization, that individual will not take part in the review matter, and the matter will be reviewed by an appropriate alternate officer and/or outside counsel. Determination of whether a conflict exists is made by the Chairman of the Board in consultation with the Executive Committee of the organization in consultation with the General Counsel and, if desirable in the judgment of General Counsel, outside specialty counsel. Any member of the Executive Committee who is the subject of a potential conflict would not take part in the determination. Restrictions on the individual determined to have a conflict are determined by the Executive Committee, in consultation with the General Counsel and would range from that individual's recusal from consideration of the matter at hand to that individual's resignation from the Board, depending on the nature of the conflict. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 MASCO retains the assistance of an independent compensation expert to provide assistance and guidance to the Compensation Committee. The Committee meets twice yearly to discuss overall compensation guidelines for merit and incentive compensation; as well as the specific performance of the CEO and members of the Executive Staff. The Compensation Committee is independent of anyone whose compensation is at issue. Individuals who are not independent in a particular case will recuse themselves. These procedures are designed to establish the so-called "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" under the regulations to section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code (intermediate sanctions). The Executive Staff includes all vice presidents and the General Counsel. The Compensation Committee expert attends each of those meetings, including the executive session. The CEO provides the Compensation Committee with feedback from members concerning the performance of the Company, as well as her evaluation of her staff's performance. The compensation expert compares the cash and non-cash compensation with that of similarly situated organizations both regionally and internationally. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation and adjustment recommendations with actions being undertaken by member organizations. Minutes are kept of these meetings. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organizations governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. The Form 990 and audited financial statements are available on the Massachusetts Attorney General's website.
