        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>Bucksbaum Family Foundation (the Foundation) is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Foundation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2009.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>Steven B. Nasatir: In 1999 the Jewish Federation entered into an agreement with Steven Nasatir that was contingent upon 5 more years of service as president and CEO and would result in annual payments of $50,000 per year (net of tax) beginning at age 64 and lasting throughout his lifetime. Dr. Nasatir began receiving payments under this agreement in 2009. The $50,000 per year amount is to be adjusted annually in accordance with the CPI index. This benefit is payable to him only for as long as he lives. There is no guaranteed payment amount and no survivor benefit at his death. In addition, the Jewish Federation has agreed to provide Steven Nasatir with a split dollar $1,000,000 insured death benefit. The insurance is designed so that upon Steven Nasatir's death, the Federation will receive a benefit equal to all of the premiums paid. The life insurance benefit is provided tax free to Steven Nasatir so there is an additional cash payment to Steven Nasatir each year to cover the taxes on the PS58 costs as well as the taxes grossed up. David Rosen: The Jewish Federation has an agreement with David Rosen which provides for annual payments of $25,000 per year beginning in 2018 and lasting for ten years.</Explanation>
