        <Explanation>Part X, Line 2: Plan management is required to evaluate tax positions taken by the plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the plan has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan 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 Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdiction; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.</Explanation>
