        <ExplanationTxt>DURING 2014, A STATUTORY CHANGE WAS ADOPTED BY THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE WHICH AMENDED THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING STATUTE BY EXPANDING ITS INVESTMENT AUTHORITIES (CHAPTER 253 OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ACTS OF 2014). ADDITIONALLY, IN JULY 2014, THE ORGANIZATION AMENDED ITS BY-LAWS AT A SPECIAL MEETING OF MEMBERS. THE SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES WERE (1) CLARIFYING THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING CHANGES RELATED TO THE AUTHORITY TO PAY FEES TO ALL DIRECTORS BY ELIMINATING THE CONCEPT OF "LOST COMPENSATION" FROM THE FEE FORMULA; (2) MODERNIZING THE SECTION OF THE BY-LAWS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION POWERS; AND (3) CREATING AN ASSOCIATE MEMBER CATEGORY WHICH MAY INCLUDE VENDORS AND CREDIT UNIONS THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DEPOSIT INSURANCE.</ExplanationTxt>

MANAGEMENT PROVIDES INDIVIDUAL COMPENSATION DATA AND OTHER REQUESTED INFORMATION TO THE ACCOUNTING FIRM. THE PRESIDENT/CEO AND THE TREASURER REVIEW AND VERIFY THE INFORMATION PREPARED BY THE ACCOUNTING FIRM, AND REQUEST THAT CHANGES BE MADE AS NECESSARY. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, REVIEWS THE ENTIRE FORM 990 BEFORE IT IS FILED. CERTAIN QUESTIONS IN THE FORM 990 ARE REFERRED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO OTHER COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW, AS APPROPRIATE. THE FINAL FORM 990 (AND ALL EXHIBITS) IS MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL DIRECTORS BEFORE THE FORM 990 IS FILED WITH THE IRS, AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS NOTIFIED VIA E-MAIL THAT THE FORM 990 IS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>THE CORPORATION MONITORS THE RECEIPT OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST STATEMENTS BY DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES TO ENSURE THAT ALL HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING MEMBER CREDIT UNIONS (MERGERS, ETC.) GENERALLY REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF THE CORPORATION AND THE MASSACHUSETTS COMMISSIONER OF BANKS. THEREFORE, MOST CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING DIRECTORS (OFFICERS, ETC.) OF THE CORPORATION WOULD BE IDENTIFIED IN THE APPROVAL REQUESTS, IF NOT ALREADY DISCLOSED IN ADVANCE BY THE AFFECTED DIRECTOR (OFFICER, ETC). WHERE CONFLICTS OR POTENTIAL CONFLICTS ARISE, THE DIRECTOR INVOLVED SHALL DISCLOSE THIS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND EXCUSE HIMSELF/HERSELF FROM PARTICIPATING IN DELIBERATIONS AND VOTING ON THE MATTER. IF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF THE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST POLICY HAS BEEN UNCOVERED, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL CAUSE MANAGEMENT OR A COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, AS APPROPRIATE, TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. IF IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT A BREACH HAS OCCURRED, THE BOARD SHALL CONSIDER APPROPRIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. THE CORPORATION ALSO EVALUATES WHETHER THERE MIGHT BE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST INVOLVING DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR EMPLOYEES WHEN REVIEWING NEW AND EXISTING VENDORS.</ExplanationTxt>
