SUPERIOR COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIVIL DIVISION

SHAKESPEARE THEATRE COMPANY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. LANSBURGH THEATER, INC., et al., Defendants. 2012 CA 004971 B Judge: John Ramsey Johnson Next Event: Initial Conference 9:30 am, Friday, September 21, 2012

DECLARATION OF ROGER COLINVAUX I, Roger Colinvaux, declare under penalty of perjury as follows: 1. I submit this declaration in support of Shakespeare Theatre Company (STC)s motion for preliminary injunction. 2. matter. 3. I am an Associate Professor at the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, and teach in the areas of federal income tax, legislation, and property. 4. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of my curriculum vitae. I have been retained by STC to provide expert opinion and testimony in this

5. I have deep and substantial familiarity with Section 509(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and the requirements for supporting organizations. 6. As lead counsel to the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, I was significantly involved in the drafting of federal supporting organization legislation in 2006, which resulted in reforms that tightened tax law requirements for supporting organizations. 7. My continuing professional work focuses on the federal tax rules applicable to 501(c)(3) organizations, including through recent Congressional testimony before both Houses of Congress, and scholarly publications, such as Charity in the 21st Century: Trending Toward Decay in the Florida Tax Review, in which the impact of the new supporting organization legislation is discussed. I am also regularly consulted by major media outlets for my opinion on charities and the tax law, and serve or have served on significant boards and committees regarding the law of 501(c)(3) organizations, including the D.C. Bar, the Urban Institute, and the National Center on Philanthropy and the Law at New York University. 8. I have reviewed the relevant materials in connection with this case, including the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws for Lansburgh Theatre Inc. (LTI), the parties leases, LTIs tax filings, property documents, and correspondence between and related to the parties.

9. LTIs Articles of Incorporation require that it be operated as a Section 509(a)(3) supporting organization. 10. LTI applied to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and was determined by the IRS to be a certain type of supporting organization. 11. The function of a supporting organization such as LTI is to provide support to a designated public charity. 12. LTI designated STC as the public charity it would support.

13. A supporting organization is one that is so connected to the supported organization that the supporting organization derives its own tax-exempt status from that relationship. 14. LTIs preferential tax status stems from its relationship to STC.

15. The requirement in LTIs Articles of Incorporation that it must be operated as a Section 509(a)(3) entity imposes several requirements on LTI including that: a. LTI must be responsive to the needs of its supported organization (STC); b. LTI must provide the supported organization (STC) with a significant voice; and c. LTI may not be subject to the direct or indirect control by a disqualified person, including a substantial contributor. d. LTI lacks the power to change its designated supported organization (STC) except for circumstances that are beyond LTIs control (not present here); 16. In my opinion, the record in this case demonstrates that LTI is in violation of these requirements, including because it has purported to terminate STCs status as a supported organization; it has not been responsive to STC; it has not provided STC with a significant voice in decisions relating to the lease renewal and STCs status as a supported organization; and it appears to be under the control of a substantial contributor, namely, the Gunwyn/Lansburgh Development Corporation and its general partner, Gunwyn/Lansburgh Limited Partnership. This declaration is a high level summary of my expected testimony that is submitted to aid the Courts consideration of STCs emergency motion. I reserve the right to, and I intend to, supplement this statement with a more detailed report and/or testimony in accordance with the schedule established by the Court.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
