Return Reference	Explanation
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 1	RIST'S AMENDED AND RESTATED TRUST AGREEMENT (THE "TRUST AGREEMENT") DESIGNATES RIST'S SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS BOTH BY NAME AND BY CLASS, WHICH CLASS INCLUDES ONLY CHARITIES PURSUING A PARTICULAR CHARITABLE PURPOSE, WHICH PURPOSE IS RELATED TO THE NAMED SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS. PURSUANT TO THE TRUST AGREEMENT, RIST IS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE CODE AND A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A)(3) OF THE CODE, CONTROLLED BY THE HANS FOUNDATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A)(3)(B)(I) OF THE CODE, AND RIST IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HANS FOUNDATION (THE "CONTROLLING CHARITY") AND, AS A DESIGNATED CLASS, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD QUALIFY AS TAX-EXEMPT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 509(A)(1) OR 509(A)(2) OF THE CODE THE BENEFITS TO WHICH CARRY OUT THE PURPOSES OF THE CONTROLLING CHARITY AND THAT ARE ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ADVANCE PUBLIC HEALTH, EDUCATION OR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IN INDIA (THE "CHARITABLE CLASS").
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 2	RIST HAS AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OF ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS AND REGULARLY REVIEWS THE CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES, FINANCES (INCLUDING SOURCES OF INCOME) AND OPERATIONS OF ITS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE IRS. RIST ENGAGED INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL TO REVIEW THE ABILITY OF EACH SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION TO QUALIFY AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY UNDER THE CODE AND IRS PROCEDURES. RIST, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, HAS MADE A GOOD FAITH DETERMINATION THAT THE HANS FOUNDATION COULD QUALIFY AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN CODE SECTION 509(A)(1) BASED ON THE PUBLIC SUPPORT THAT IT RECEIVES AND ADDITIONAL FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING CARRYING ON CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO ATTRACT ADDITIONAL PUBLIC SUPPORT, MAINTAINING A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY, AND PROVIDING FACILITIES AND SERVICES DIRECTLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN 2019, RIST CONTINUED TO IMPLEMENT EQUIVALENCY DETERMINATIONS FOR PAST GRANTEES AND TO EVALUATE NEW PROPOSED CLASS MEMBERS. MANY OF RIST'S SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS QUALIFY AS THE EQUIVALENT OF A U.S. SCHOOL OR HOSPITAL, AND THE REMAINDER MUST EACH QUALIFY AS THE EQUIVALENT OF A U.S. PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY. UPON A DETERMINATION FROM INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL THAT A GRANTEE QUALIFIES AS THE FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF A U.S. PUBLIC CHARITY DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 509(A)(1) OR 509(A)(2) OF THE CODE, SUCH GRANTEE IS SUBMITTED FOR FURTHER REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY RIST'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AS AN ORGANIZATION ELIGIBLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CHARITABLE CLASS DESCRIBED IN RIST'S TRUST AGREEMENT.
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 4B	RIST DOES NOT ACCEPT FUNDS THAT ARE EARMAKED FOR A PARTICULAR GRANTEE. RIST'S GOVERNING BODY, A BOARD OF DIRECTORS (THE "BOARD"), HAS ULTIMATE CONTROL AND DISCRETION IN DECIDING WHETHER TO MAKE GRANTS TO ANY FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN THE CHARITABLE CLASS. INCLUSION IN THE CHARITABLE CLASS DOES NOT GUARANTEE SUPPORT FROM RIST. THE BOARD DETERMINES ALLOCATIONS OF GRANTS FROM RIST IN TOTAL AND AMONG RIST'S VARIOUS SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS. THE BOARD WILL ONLY APPROVE FOREIGN ORGANIZATIONS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CHARITABLE CLASS BASED UPON A DETERMINATION FROM INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND ACCOMPANYING LEGAL OPINION, THAT SUCH FOREIGN ORGANIZATION COULD QUALIFY AS THE FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF A U.S. PUBLIC CHARITY DESCRIBED UNDER SECTION 509(A)(1) OR 509(A)(2) OF THE CODE. RIST MAINTAINS AN ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH ITS FOREIGN SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE FUNDS ARE USED FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 170(C)(2)(B) OF THE CODE.
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 4C	RIST ENGAGES THE HANS FOUNDATION ("THF") AS A LOCAL SUPERVISING ENTITY TO ENSURE THAT ALL FINANCIAL SUPPORT PROVIDED BY RIST TO FOREIGN SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS IN INDIA IS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. THF STAFF VISIT BOTH GRANTEES' ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES AND PROJECTS THAT RIST FUNDS AT THE FIELD LEVEL. THF ALSO PRODUCES SITE VISIT REPORTS FOCUSED ON PROGRAMMATIC PROGRESS, INCLUDING EVALUATING PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS AGAINST STATED OUTCOMES AS SET BY RIST. RIST ALSO ITSELF REVIEWS EACH GRANTEE'S FINANCIALS RELATED TO FUNDS RECEIVED FROM RIST AND ENSURES THAT EACH GRANTEE HAS SYSTEMS TO ACCURATELY TRACK RIST FUNDS. IN ADDITION TO VISITS BY THF STAFF, RIST ALSO CONDUCTS PERIODIC VISITS TO INDIA DURING WHICH RIST STAFF VISIT THE OFFICES OF THF AND OTHER GRANTEES. RIST OFTEN USES A GRANT AGREEMENT REQUIRING A GRANTEE TO REPRESENT THAT: ALL INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO RIST IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE; THAT GRANTEE IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE CODE; AND THE GRANTEE'S PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE, CALCULATED FOR PURPOSES OF THE LEGAL OPINION PREPARED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, IS ACCURATE. THE GRANT AGREEMENT REQUIRES EACH GRANTEE TO: USE GRANT FUNDS RECEIVED FROM RIST ONLY FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 170(C)(2)(B) OF THE CODE AND RETURN FUNDS NOT SO USED TO RIST; AGREE TO BE RESPONSIVE TO RIST AND THF AND ACCEPT THE DIRECTION OF THF AS THE AGENT USED BY RIST TO MONITOR AND EVALUATE THE GRANTEE'S PROJECT; AND SUBMIT PROGRESS REPORTS, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE UPDATES ON THE GRANTEE'S PROGRESS MADE TOWARD THE CHARITABLE MILESTONES IDENTIFIED IN THE PROJECT PROPOSAL.
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 5A	IN FURTHERANCE OF RIST'S CHARITABLE PURPOSES, IN CALENDAR YEAR 2019 THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS WERE CONFIRMED BY THE BOARD AS ELIGIBLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CHARITABLE CLASS, AS DESCRIBED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT, IN ADDITION TO THE CONTROLLING CHARITY AND CERTAIN EXISTING CLASS MEMBERS: HANS CULTURAL CENTRE BILLIONS IN CHANGE FOUNDATION (EIN 38-4043201) THE AMERICAN INDIA FOUNDATION (EIN 13-4159765) RAJIV GANDHI CHARITABLE TRUST CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, INC. (EIN 52-1501082) MASOOM CHARITABLE TRUST HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE INDIA SAVE THE CHILDREN INDIA AGASTYA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOUNDATION FOR REVITALIZATION OF LOCAL HEALTH TRADITIONS COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL CENTER SOCIETY THE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT INCUBATOR INC (EIN 14-1945286) INDIAN CANCER SOCIETY IM EVERY WOMAN PRAYAS OF INDIA THE BANYAN DR AABAJI THATTE SEVA AUR ANUSANDHA THE SPECIAL CHILD TRUST Wildfire Conservation Society Uttaranchal Daivi Apda Peedit Sahayata Samiti(UDAPSS) SECTIONS 2.3 AND 3.2 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT ALLOW RIST'S TRUSTEE TO ADD OR REMOVE ORGANIZATIONS FROM THE CHARITABLE CLASS, AND SECTION 4.2 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT THE BOARD HAS "COMPLETE AUTHORITY TO MAKE GRANTS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF" THE CHARITABLE CLASS. EACH ORGANIZATION ADDED TO THE CHARITABLE CLASS WAS APPROVED BY UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE BOARD. RIST CONTINUES TO ADD ORGANIZATIONS TO THE CHARITABLE CLASS BASED ON A GOOD FAITH DETERMINATION, MADE WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL AND A LEGAL OPINION FROM SUCH COUNSEL, THAT SUCH ADDITIONAL ORGANIZATION QUALFIIES AS THE FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF A U.S. ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) AND SECTION 509(A)(1) OR 509(A)(2).
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION A, LINE 5B	EACH ORGANIZATION ADDED TO THE CHARITABLE CLASS AND NAMED IN THE RESPONSE TO LINE 5A ABOVE WAS ALREADY PART OF THE BROADLY DESCRIBED CHARITABLE CLASS DESIGNATED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT.
SCHEDULE A, PART IV, SECTION B, LINE 2	PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.4 OF THE TRUST AGREEMENT, RIST IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CONTROLLING CHARITY, AND, AS A DESIGNATED CLASS, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD QUALIFY AS TAX-EXEMPT PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 509(A)(1) OR 509(A)(2) OF THE CODE THE BENEFITS TO WHICH CARRY OUT THE PURPOSES OF THE CONTROLLING CHARITY AND THAT ARE ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ADVANCE PUBLIC HEALTH, EDUCATION, OR ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IN INDIA (COLLECTIVELY, THE "CHARITABLE CLASS"). AS RIST'S SOLE NAMED SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, THE CONTROLLING CHARITY "CONTROLS" RIST FOR PURPOSES OF QUALIFYING AS A TYPE I SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, BY APPOINTING INDIVIDUALS TO SERVE ON THE BOARD OF RIST AND EXERCISING CERTAIN OTHER POWERS AND MAINTAINING CERTAIN OTHER RIGHTS. RIST OPERATES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CHARITABLE CLASS, WHICH INCLUDES SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS OTHER THAN THE CONTROLLING CHARITY; HOWEVER, RIST'S SUPPORT OF THE CHARITABLE CLASS CARRIES OUT THE PURPOSES OF THE CONTROLLING CHARITY BECAUSE IN ORDER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CHARITBLE CLASS, EACH ORGANIZATION MUST CARRY OUT THE PURPOSES OF THE CONTROLLING CHARITY.
