Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 4a
Severance Payments were made to: Mark Sullivan: $1,122,099.94 Rebecca McCormick-Boyle: $117,304.56 Hans Cassagnol: $133,023.28 Lisa Cilano: $166,159.14
Part II Column C
The change in present value shown for each participant represents the change in the actuarial value of the accrued benefit, whether or not funded, vested or subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. Note that the change in present value is partly due to changes in the discount rate and, for those accruing under the cash balance formula, the assumptions for future cash balance interest crediting rates and factors applicable to annuity conversions.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
