Dear Mr. Adams:

In my capacity as the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ("MIT"), a nonprofit university, I serve as MIT's Chief Financial Officer. This letter is in support of MIT's use of the self-guarantee financial test to demonstrate financial assurance, as specified in 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 70, as ongoing compliance with MIT's Self-Guarantee Agreement, dated May 3, 2010 (the "Agreement"), and approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on July 16, 2010.

In order to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the Agreement and 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 70, and MIT's ability to self-guarantee the decommissioning of the following facilities owned or operated by MIT, the current cost estimates or certified amounts for decommissioning each facility, so guaranteed, are shown below, along with their calculation (if applicable), and supporting attachments are enclosed:

Certified Amounts or Name of Facility License Number Location of Facility Current Cost Estimates MIT SNM-986 77 Massachusetts Ave. $1,125,000.00 Cambridge, MA 02139 MIT Research Reactor R-37 138 Albany St.

$33,149,000.00 Cambridge, MA 02139 A. License No. SNM-986 Based upon the applicable quantities of special nuclear materials stored at this facility, in accordance with 10 C.F.R. 70.25(d), MIT must guarantee the statutory minimum of $1,125,000 for the proper disposal of these materials.

B. License No. R-37

1. Justification for 2005 $23M Decommissioning Estimate:

Duke Engineering provided MIT with a cost estimate of $23.0M. That study was completed in November 2001. It included a 10% contingency. Inflation was quite low and for some sectors of the economy slightly negative for the years 2001-2005. Accordingly, for our 2006 submittal, we used the uninflated detailed Duke estimate which was $23.OM. For 2008, we provided an estimate of $29.8 million, based on separate inflation factors applied against the labor costs, using the NUREG- 1307, Rev. 12, Page D. 1, Example 2,(Northeast Region) of 1.40 (labor) and 1.72 (burial).

2. Decommissioning Estimate for 2012:

For 2013, we estimate the decommissioning cost of the MIT Reactor to be $33.1 million. This figure is obtained by taking the $23.OM Duke estimate as a base and inflating it for both the cost of labor and burial as shown below:

Duke Study 23,000,000 %Total NUREG Inflator 33,149,000 Inflation Model Labor Portion 20,470,000 89% Labor 1.40 28,800,000 Burial Portion 2,530,000 11% Burial 1.72 4,349,000 Please note that labor was 89% of the total estimate and burial was 11%. The inflator figures are obtained from NUREG-1307, Rev. 14, Page D. 1, Example 2 (Appendix D). We take the date of completion of the Duke study to be 2002 as this is closest to the actual date of November 2001.

For labor, the cost index is 2.41 in 2010 and 1.862 for 2002. We assume that cost increases are linear through 2013 and obtain:

(1.862+ ((2.41-1.862)/(2010-2002))(2013-2002)) = 2.616 The inflation factor for 2013 as compared to 2002 is therefore 2.616/1.862 or 1.40. Hence, the labor portion of the cost is ($20.5M)(140) or $28.8 million. For burial, the same approach is used to yield a factor of 30.806, an inflation factor of 1.72 and a cost of $4.3 million (Please refer to ).

I hereby certify that MIT is currently a going concern, and that it possesses positive tangible net worth in the amount of $12.8 billion, as of the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2012.

This figure is derived from MIT's independently audited, year-end financial statements and footnotes for the latest completed fiscal year, which is enclosed. MIT's independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has included its review of this letter, which is also enclosed.

MIT is not required to file a Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the latest fiscal year.

MIT satisfies the following self-guarantee test:

1. Current bond rating of most recent uninsured, uncollateralized, and unencumbered issuance of this institution:

Rating: AAA Name of rating service: Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC

2. Date of issuance of bonds: May 18, 2011

3. Description and date of maturity of bonds:

4. Is the rating specified on line 1 "A" or better? Yes I hereby letter is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology; Private Coll/Univ - General Obligation Long Term Rating AAA/A-1+/Stable Affirmed Long Tenn Rating AAA/Stable Affirmed Rationale Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'AAA' long-term rating and 'A-1+' short-term rating on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) outstanding debt, some of which was issued by the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency. The outlook is stable.

The 'AAA' rating reflects our view of MIT's substantial endowment, incredible demand for its programs, growing research, and positive operating performance. This offsets our view of the institute's adequate, but lower than average financial resource ratios compared to the 'AAA' category, due in part to its recent century bond issuance. MIT has significant capital plans during the next 10 years, which management plans to fund through a variety of sources, including non-recourse debt. The potential effect, if any, of these additional projects to MIT's credit rating will be assessed as the structure, amount, timing, etc., are better determined.

More specifically, the rating is supported by the institute's:

" Status as a pre-eminent research institute with $1.45 billion in research revenues in fiscal year 2011;

Strong financial resources provided by an endowment and similar funds of $9.7 billion as of June 30, 2011;

" Significant demand, excellent student quality, and increasingly competitive admissions;

Strong operating performance, supported by good revenue diversity and the demonstrated ability to raise funds; and

Relatively high, but still manageable, debt levels, due in part to its recent $750 million century bond issuance.

The 'A-1+' short-term rating reflects our view of MIT's general credit strengths and considerable experience in managing its own liquidity. MIT is providing its own liquidity to support its $250 million of series J-1 (swapped to fixed) and J-2 variable-rate demand bonds (VRDBs). We believe MIT demonstrates sufficient liquid assets of high credit quality, largely in U.S. Treasuries, as well as a bank lines that it can use, among other things, to cover the purchase price of VRDBs in the event any of the bonds are tendered, but not successfully remarketed. As of June 30, 2012, availability of liquid assets was, in our opinion, a sufficient $1.157 billion in same-day liquidity composed of high quality US. government securities and cash. In our opinion, MIT has demonstrated the policies and procedures Standard & Poor's I Research I July 26, 2012 2

Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology; Private Coll/Univ - General Obligation necessary to provide self-liquidity.

MIT had approximately $2.47 billion in debt outstanding as of June 30, 2011. Of the total debt, a small portion is variable-rate debt (12% or $302 million), and the largest portion is fixed-rate debt (87%). All debt is an unsecured general obligation of MIT.

MIT is implementing a large development framework during the next 10 years, also in conjunction with MIT 2030, to add new research facilities and new academic space, improve its infrastructure, and to reduce the amount of deferred maintenance on campus. The academic components' projected cost for the next 10 years is $1.55 billion, which we consider high, with the proceeds from the May 2011 $750 million 100-year taxable issuance supporting a portion of capital needs. Other financing sources include fund raising, internal funding sources, and external borrowings. There are other capital plans on campus, including additional financings in the form of nonrecourse debt for investment in the institute's existing real estate assets as well as a revitalization of Lincoln Lab, a federally funded research and development center managed by MIT. Management indicates that the existing real estate portfolio is managed like an endowment asset and provides important flexibility for future institutional development. Management indicated that it intends to pursue real estate financings that can be supported by nonrecourse arrangements supported by external lessees. The proposed new facilities at Lincoln Laboratory are likely to be financed by a third-party backed by federal assurances, which management believes would be effectively nonrecourse to MIT.

Outlook The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the university's extremely strong demand and financial performance will continue. We believe that MIT's financial resource ratios are relatively low for the rating category and the issuance of additional debt needs to be commensurate with growth in financial resources.

We would have a negative view of considerable deterioration of operating performance or dilution of financial resource measures relative to either operating expenses or debt during the next one to two years.

Economic Profile The institute The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational, nonprofit institution of higher education. As of fall 2011, MIT had 10,894 students, with about 6,400 full-time graduate students. MIT has 1,018 faculty members and more than 4,000 other academic staff. The institute is located on a 168-acre-residential campus fronting the Charles River in Cambridge, Mass. MIT is organized into five schools and one college: architecture and planning; engineering; humanities, arts and social sciences; management; science; and the Whitaker College of Health Sciences.

MIT is one of the pre-eminent research institutes in the world, composed of major interdisciplinary organizations as well as three off-campus research facilities in Massachusetts: Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Haystack Observatory in Tyngsboro, and the Bates Linear Accelerator Center in Middleton. MIT operates the Lincoln Laboratory as a www.standardandpoors.com 3

MassachusettsDevelopment FinanceAgency, MassachusettsInstitute Of Technology; Private Coll/Univ - General Obligation federally funded research and development center focused on advanced electronics. In fiscal 2011, MIT's research activities grew to more than $1.447 billion, up from $1.18 billion in 2007.

In total, MIT's sponsored research revenue (which includes federal, foundation, industrial, and international sponsors) was a substantial 48.4% of MIT's adjusted unrestricted operating revenues in 2011. Management indicated that MIT negotiates its research recoveries on an annual basis with its agent - the Office of Naval Research. The fiscal 2012 indirect cost recovery rate is 60.5% and MIT's particular negotiated rates generally allow it to recover full costs in a multi-year period.

Management and governance MIT recently named L. Rafael Reif as its new president. President Reif began his service as the institute's president in July 2012 after serving as provost for seven years and in various other positions at MIT since 1980. MIT also has a new provost (Chris A. Kaiser) who has been on the faculty since 1991, executive vice president/treasurer (Israel Ruiz) who served as vice president for finance for four years prior to becoming executive vice president and in other MIT roles for six years before that, and vice president for finance (Michael Howard). MIT is governed by the MIT Corp., a 74-member body composed of national leaders in science, industry, and education. The Executive Committee, a smaller subset of the same body, has responsibility for the general administration of MIT, and approves borrowing plans. Management routinely prepares interim, full-accrual results, which the executive committee reviews. We view the preparation and review of interim financial statements as a best practice for the industry.

Demand and enrollment MIT is an exceptionally selective institute, and admissions remain very competitive at both the undergraduate level and graduate and professional level. Freshman applications at MIT continue to be extremely strong with only 9.7% of the institute's freshman applicants accepted for fall 2011 and a very strong 64.6% matriculating. Undergraduate student quality is impressive, with an average two-part SAT score of approximately 1473 and an average ACT score of

33. Freshman to sophomore retention is a very high 98% and approximately 91% of its undergraduate students graduate within five years. MIT draws students from 50 states and more than 115 countries. Total student charges of

$52,507 for the 2011-2012 academic year places MIT in line with its peer institutions, such as Harvard, Columbia, and Yale universities. Fall 2012 demand and enrollment information were not available as of this report, but we expect it to be similar to previous years.

MIT's professional schools are also highly competitive. For fall 2011, MIT enrolled 6,510 graduate and professional students. Applications for graduate and professional studies were flat from fall 2010 to 2011 at 22,220, with a low 14.9% of applicants accepted. There are no current plans to add new schools or significantly change the academic mission or structure of the institute. MIT is actively engaged with international partners, but has no plans to increase its physical footprint globally.

Financial Profile Standard & Poor's I Research I July 26, 2012 4

Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology; Privjat Coil/Un'iv z Geeral SObligation Operating performance We consider MIT's diverse revenue stream a credit strength, with tuition and fees accounting for $494 million of unrestricted revenue (on a gross basis) in fiscal 2011. Other major revenue sources included sponsored research ($1.45 billion), gifts and bequests ($111 million), fees and services ($199 million), and endowment income and gain used for operations ($444.8 million). Federal research increased 7.2% for the year to $469.5 million in grants including those from the:

" Department of Health and Human Services ($152.7 million),

" Department of Defense ($107.8 million),

" Department of Energy ($89.6 million),

" National Science Foundation ($74.9 million), and

NASA ($28.1 million).

The institute produced a $179.5 million surplus in fiscal 2011, continuing its positive operating performance from the past three years. Fiscal 2012 financial results were not available at the time of this report, but we anticipate additional net asset growth for the year. In 2011, MIT reduced its endowment distribution payout per unit by 18% in response to the financial crisis. Despite the increase in 2009, endowment spending as a percentage of trailing-three-year endowment market value was in our view moderate at about 5.7% in 2009 and fell to 4.9% for fiscal 2011. The institute implemented several cost-cutting measures in fiscals 2010 and 20 11, which resulted in about $120 million of budgetary savings. Most of these cuts were recurring administrative and maintenance efficiencies.

Financial resources In our opinion, MIT's financial resources remain quite strong. Total cash and investments exceeded $12.3 billion as of fiscal 2011 year-end, and provided 4.3x coverage of adjusted expenses and nearly 5.Ox coverage of debt then outstanding of $2.47 billion. Fiscal 2011 closed with expendable resources of approximately $9.7 billion or 3.4x annual adjusted operating expenses of $2.811 billion and 3.9x then-outstanding debt. These financial ratios relative to debt are improving, but still lower than historical levels. However, they remain in line with some other 'AAA' rated educational institutions.

Endowment and fund raising MIT Investment Management Co. (MITIMCo) manages the institute's investment assets under the supervision of a separate MITIMCo board. MIT's endowment assets totaled $9.7 billion as of June 30, 2011, up from $8.3 billion the previous year. The core Pool A endowment produced a 17.9% return for fiscal 2011. Including short-term investments, MIT had total cash and investments of approximately $12.3 billion as of June 2011. Of $12.2 billion of long-term investments as of June 30, 2011, a low $2.8 billion or 23%, was considered to be level 1, or active market securities, followed by $1.0 billion in level 2, and the majority in level 3 or $8.37 billion. Management reports that MIT's asset allocation has been stable and is tracking close to the policy. As of June 30, 2012, MIT held same-day liquid investments of about $1.157 billion.

MIT holds investments in two primary asset pools--pool A, which is composed of its long-term endowment investments and pool C--a pool of short-term, high-quality investments to provide working capital and to hold various reserves. From 2008-2010 the amount of reserves in pool C was increased to provide for additional liquidity.

Management indicates that it did not have to access its bank line for liquidity support during this period, and that the www.standardandpoors.com 5

. Massachusetts Development FinanceAgency, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology; Private Coll/Univ -.General Obligation investment pool liquidity was sufficient to support calls on capital. As of June 30, 2011, MIT had total urifinded capital calls of approximately $1.85 billion. During the next several years,"management indicates that distributions from nonmarketable securities should exceed expected capitalcalls. The-unfunded commitment amount represents a moderate 19% of market value of endowment, which is lower than some of MIT's peers.

The institute implemented a planned reduction of the annual endowment distribution in fiscal 2011, with the distribution declining $81.7 million to $444.8 million for the year. The endowment distribution to support operations in 2011 equaled approximately 5.3% of endowed funds or 4.9% of the moving three-year average. Endowment spending for fiscal 2012 was estimated to be 4.9%.

MIT recently concluded a $500 million "Campaign for Students" fund-raising initiative -- with more than $578 million raised. Total gifts and pledges in fiscal 2011 were $522.4 million. It is likely that MIT will embark on another fund-raising drive, or series of fund-raising initiatives, in conjunction with its new strategic development framework, MIT 2030, but no plans have been publicly announced. Management reports that fiscal 2012 alumni-participation rate is approximately 29% for undergraduate, graduate, and professional alumni.

Debt MIT had a total debt of $2.47 billion as of June 2011, including about $176 million drawn under a $500 million bank line of credit. MIT's management has developed an. active approach to debt management aimed at providing the maximum financing flexibility. MIT maintains a $500 million bank line of credit for additional liquidity. We understand that the institute uses this line opportunistically and periodically for various funding purposes.

b MIT's debt structure includes a number of bullet maturities and due to the institute's tendency to use bullet maturities to repay principal on its debt, total annual debt service, on average, through fiscal 2041 is approximately $146 million, ranging from $46.4. million in 2039 to $334.5 million in 2031. MADS of $334.5 million in the next 30 years is in our view high at 11.9% of fiscal 2011 adjusted operating expenses. In 2011, the institute also issued century bonds, which produce MADS of $792,000 in 2111 (28% of fiscal 2011 expenses). Average annual debt service of $146 million is a more manageable 5.2% of fiscal 2011 expenses, and fiscal 2011 actual debt service was a much lower 2.88%.

MIT remains conservative in its use of variable-rate-debt exposure, compared with its peers, net of swaps. Total unhedged variable-rate-demand debt, excluding the line of credit, is 11% of debt. Including variable-rate bank debt, the exposure is approximately 12%. In our opinion, MIT has adequate liquidity to fund its VRDOs.

MIT has a defined-benefit and defined-contribution retirement plan for employees. Its defined-benefit plan is well funded and required no contribution in fiscal 2011. MIT had $198 million in accrued post-employment benefit obligations as of June 30, 2011, but we view this as a manageable level of exposure.

Contingent liabilities Standard & Poor's believes the institute's swap portfolio poses very low risk to the credit rating overall with a low degree of involuntary termination risk due to limited termination events other than those permissible, moderate counterparty risk, and the swap portfolio's sound economic viability during stressful economic cycles.

MIT has historically managed its debt carefully, in our opinion, limiting its exposure to variable-rate debt and interest rate swaps. MIT has one interest rate swap with Deutsche Bank. The agreement is a $125 million floating- to fixed-rate Standard & Poor's I Research I July 26, 2012 6

Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology; Private Coll/Univ - General Obligation swap that synthetically fixes the series J-1 bonds at 4.91%, with MIT receiving a rate equal to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Assn. (SIFMA) index less 15 basis points; the agreement terminates upon maturity in 2031. As of June 30, 2011, this swap had a notional amount and fair value of $125 million and negative $32.8 million respectively.
