SCHEDULE A, PAGE 2, PART II, LINE 5:
LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL SECURITY, LLC (LANS) OPERATES LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY FOR THE NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE/NNSA). LANS HAS ENTERED INTO 2 FUNDING AGREEMENTS WITH THE LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY FOUNDATION AS FOLLOWS: LANS IA #0058 - THIS IS A FUNDING AGREEMENT WHEREBY THE FUNDS THAT ARE DISBURSED TO THE LANL FOUNDATION BY LANS ARE DIRECTLY REIMBURSED BY THE DOE AND THIS FUNDING AGREEMENT IS CONTINGENT UPON SUFFICIENT APPROPRIATIONS AND AUTHORIZATIONS BEING MADE BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT FOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, ALL EXPENDITURES OF FUNDS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE DOE/NNSA AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS AS SET FORTH IN THE SINGLE AUDIT ACT AND OMB CIRCULAR A-133. AS A RESULT, THE SOURCE OF THE FUNDS RECEIVED UNDER THIS FUNDING AGREEMENT #0058 IS A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY (DOE/NNSA) AND LANS IS MERELY A CONDUIT THAT THESE FUNDS PASS THROUGH. LANS IA #0066 - THIS IS A FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH LANS THAT SUPPORTS A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS OF THE FOUNDATION. THESE FUNDS ARE NOT REIMBURSABLE BY THE DOE/NNSA PURSUANT TO THE AGREEMENT AND, AS A RESULT, IS FUNDING PROVIDED BY LANS. IN PRIOR YEARS, THE FUNDING UNDER BOTH AGREEMENTS WAS TREATED AS SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM LANS, A PRIVATE COMPANY, AND THE EXCESS FUNDING WAS REPORTED ON LINE 5 OF PART II OF SCHEDULE A IN ERROR. ONLY THE FUNDING UNDER AGREEMENT #0066 SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED AS FROM A PRIVATE COMPANY. THE FUNDING UNDER AGREEMENT #0058 SHOULD HAVE BEEN TREATED AS RECEIVED FROM A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY AS EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY AND EXCLUDED FROM THE SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 5 CALCULATION SINCE IT QUALIFIES AS GOVERNMENTAL PUBLIC SUPPORT RECEIVED. THE SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 5 CALCULATION FOR THE 5-YEAR PERIOD REPORTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR (2006 THROUGH 2010) HAS BEEN RECALCULATED TO EXLUDED THE GRANTS RECEIVED UNDER AGREEMENT #0058 SINCE THIS SOURCE OF THESE FUNDS WAS THE DOE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY FUNDING AND, THEREFORE, THESE FUNDS WERE RECEIVED FROM A GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THE PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE REPORTED IN PART II OF SCHEDULE A, LINE 14, HAS INCREASED DUE TO CORRECTING THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL SUPPORT AND THE FOUNDATION MEETS THE PUBLIC SUPPORT TEST FOR 2010. THE FOUNDATION HAS NOT RESTATED LINE 15 IN PART II OF SCHEDULE A. IF THIS NUMBER WERE CORRECTED, THE FOUNDATION'S SUPPORT WOULD ALSO EXCEED THE REQUIRED 33 1/3% MINIMUM SUPPORT REQUIREMENT FOR 2009.
