| Part III, Line 4a. | In furtherance of USTA's charitable purposes, the goal of Player Development is to implement a systematic, player-centric approach in developing world-class American players in partnership with private sector coaches and programs. Player Development strives to be the best in the world, developing and deploying educational, training and coaching resources, to serve Team USA. The Player Development program is based at the USTA Training Center - Headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., and also utilizes the USTA Training Center - West in Carson, Calif., and the USTA Training Center - East in Flushing, NY. Player Development also has a Certified Regional Training Center program as part of its expanded efforts to develop future American Tennis champions, which has expanded Player Development's program reach throughout the U.S. by working with academies, clubs and tennis centers that have a proven record of identifying and developing young tennis players. At the end of 2015, eight such Training Centers had been certified. Player Development has hired national coaches who will have contact with 10 to 15 top players in all age groups and an in-depth knowledge of another 20 to 30 players. These coaches provide information, advice and attend tournaments with these players. The coaches are required to be certified and continue their coaching education in order to provide the necessary support to the players with whom they work. Financial support to the players is an integral focus of this program. In 2015, grants were distributed to over 300 players. In coordination with the national coaches, the players use these grants for training. The funds can be used in a variety of ways for tennis development (e.g., academies/coaching). In addition, focus is placed on supporting young touring pros as well as developing exposure of young American players at the international junior and professional levels. For players who participate in this program every effort is made to provide them with resources and support to foster their continued success. American tennis players, at both the professional and junior levels, made prominent headlines in 2015. Three different American boys won junior Grand Slam singles titles in the same year for the first time in history: Tommy Paul beat Taylor Fritz in the first-ever all-American French Open boys final; Reilly Opelka captured the Wimbledon junior title; and Fritz beat Paul in an all-American US Open boys final en route to clinching the year-end world No. 1 junior ranking, the first American boy to hold that distinction in 10 years (Donald Young, 2006). By the fall, four of the top five boys in the ITFs world junior rankings were American, which was also a first. Madison Keys, meanwhile, reached the semifinals of the Australian Open as a 20-year old and, with 23-year old CoCo Vandeweghe, reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon alongside Serena Williams, the first time three U.S. women reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals since 2004. Sixteen-year old Sofia Kenin reached the US Open girls final, and several U.S. girls Amanda Anisimova, Kayla Day and Kylie McKenzie won prestigious international junior tournaments to end the year. Player Development continues to develop a systematic approach to creating top players through working with the private sector to develop world class American players; support players, parents and coaches; and lead the world in establishing a standard of excellence for tennis training and development, to which all American players and coaches can rally. |

| Part VI, Section B, Line 12c. | USTA Player Development ("Player Development") has a Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Policy that applies to all employees and a separate conflict of interest policy for Board Members; each of the policies are substantially the same. The Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Policy requires an employee and Board Member to report all interests or relationships that could present a potential conflict of interest. Player Development obtains annual certifications from employees and Board Members. The Ethics Officer of Player Development's sole member, USTA, reviews the completed disclosure statements for employees and the Chair of the Audit Committee or the Chair's designee reviews the completed disclosure statements for Board Members. The Ethics Officer of Player Development's sole member, USTA, and the Chair of the Audit Committee have the discretion to share the disclosure statements with the entire Audit Committee, Board of Directors and/or VP. The Ethics Officer and the Chair of the Audit Committee determine whether a conflict exists and so mark their decision on the disclosure statement, also indicating the required corrective action should they determine that a conflict exists (which may include, but is not limited to, prohibition in participating, deliberating and deciding issues and/or in transactions). |
| Part VI, Section B, Line 15. | The Compensation Committee has responsibility for establishing a compensation strategy and setting the compensation of the key employees of Player Development. The Compensation Committee meets a minimum of four times per year and contemporaneously maintains minutes of its meetings. Compensation and incentive plan levels are set by the Committee following review of appropriate comparability data. Appropriate comparability data includes, but is not limited to, (i) information regarding compensation paid by similar organizations for similar services, (ii) the availability of similar services in the organization's geographic area, and (iii) compensation surveys compiled by independent firms. The review described above was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2015 with respect to all noted individuals above as it relates to their compensation. |
| Part VI, Section A, Lines 6, 7a & 7b. | The United States Tennis Association is the sole member of the USTA Player Development ("Player Development") and elects the directors of Player Development. Pursuant to Player Developments Bylaws, the sole member has the right to remove directors with or without cause, to fill vacancies in the Board of Directors, and to amend the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Player Development. In addition, the sole member has the right to approve or ratify certain decisions of the Board of Directors of Player Development (such as the decision to merge or dissolve) pursuant to the State of New York Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. |
