Conservation easement was amended to clarify language in the Forestry and Agriculture Section, to be consistent with the intent of both Grantor and Grantee at the time of the conservation easement. 2. conservation easement was amended to clarify ambiguous language that unintentionally restricted timbering of uplands, even though it was a pine stand. Amendment also added a requirement that Grantor provide regularly updated Land Management Plans. Furthermore, the Land Owner further limited the number of cabins permitted on the property from four to just two. 3. conservation easement was amended to add an additional 19.15 acres to the conservation easement's protections. 4. conservation easement was amended to permit Grantor to convey a right-of-way easement to Alabama Power across only 0.04 acres of the conservation easement property. Amendment was entered into in light of imminent threat of condemnation by Alabama Power. Part II, Line 5: ONCE A YEAR, A LAND TRUST REPRESENTATIVE GOES TO EACH PROTECTED PROPERTY IN ORDER TO CONDUCT AN ANNUAL SITE VISIT (ASV). THE ANNUAL SITE VISITS ENSURE THAT THE TERMS OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT ARE BEING FOLLOWED. A BASELINE DOCUMENTATION REPORT (BDR) IS COMPLETED WHEN THE EASEMENT IS FINALIZED. EACH BDR CONTAINS SPECIFIC DETAILS PERTAINING TO WHAT TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION AND ALTERATIONS ARE ALLOWED ON THE PROTECTED PROPERTY. THE BDR IS TAKEN TO EACH ASV, AND ALL CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY AND OWNERSHIP ARE NOTED. THE BDR AND ASV REPORTS ARE KEPT AS A PERMENANT CE FILE. ENFORCEMENT IS ADDRESSED IN EVERY CONSERVAION EASEMENT. THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROVIDES THAT THE LAND TRUST HAS THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE THE EASEMENT IN LAW OR IN EQUITY. Part II, Line 9: THE ORGANIZATION HAS MANY EASEMENTS RECORDED IN ITS NAME. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO VALUE THESE EASEMENTS FOR REPORTING PURPOSES. ACCORDINGLY, THESE EASEMENTS HAVE BEEN EXPENSED WHEN PURCHASED. CONSERVATION IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE COMPANY. Part X, Line 2: The Organization applies the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) relating to uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance requires entities to assess their uncertain tax positions for the likelihood that they would be overturned upon Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination. In accordance with this guidance, the Organization has determined that it does not have any positions at December 31, 2015, that it would be unable to substantiate (or if there are uncertain positions, they should be disclosed). The Organization has filed its tax returns through December 31, 2014. PART V, LINE 4: BOARD DESIGNATED NET ASSETS CONSISTS OF CASH AND INVESTMENTS RESTRICTED BY THE BOARD FOR FUTURE USE. TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS ARE RESTRICTED FOR STEWARDSHIP AND DEFENSE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND FOR LAND MANAGEMENT EXPENSES FOR OWNED CONSERVATION PROPERTIES.
