The Company shall have no obligation to deliver the Shares or to release any Shares from the Escrow established pursuant to Section&nbsp;6 until the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company have been satisfied by the Participant.</font></p>

resulting from the procedure permitted under this Section, including, without limitation, tax consequences, shall be the sole responsibility of the Participant.</font></p>

<p> <font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
  Participant understands that Section&nbsp;83 of the Code taxes as ordinary income
  the difference between the amount paid for the Shares, if anything, and the
  fair market value of the Shares as of the date on which the Shares are &#147;substantially
  vested,&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;83.&#160; In this context,
  &#147;substantially vested&#148; means that the right of the Company to reacquire
  the Shares pursuant to the Company Reacquisition Right has lapsed.&#160; The
  Participant understands that he or she may elect to have his or her taxable
  income determined at the time he or she acquires the Shares rather than when
  and as the Company Reacquisition Right lapses by filing an election under Section&nbsp;83(b)
  of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service no later than thirty (30) days
  after the date of acquisition of the Shares.&#160; The Participant understands
  that failure to make a timely filing under Section&nbsp;83(b) will result in
  his or her recognition of ordinary income, as the Company Reacquisition Right
  lapses, on the difference between the purchase price, if anything, and the fair
  market value of the Shares at the time such restrictions lapse.&#160; The Participant
  further understands, however, that if Shares with respect to which an election
  under Section&nbsp;83(b) has been made are forfeited to the Company pursuant
  to its Company Reacquisition Right, such forfeiture will be treated as a sale
  on which there is realized a loss equal to the excess (if any) of the amount
  paid (if any) by the Participant for the forfeited Shares over the amount realized
  (if any) upon their forfeiture.&#160; If the Participant has paid nothing for
  the forfeited Shares and has received no payment upon their forfeiture, the
  Participant understands that he or she will be unable to recognize any loss
  on the forfeiture of the Shares even though the Participant incurred a tax liability
  by making an election under Section&nbsp;83(b). </font></p>

  Participant understands that he or she should consult with his or her tax advisor
  regarding the advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election
  under Section&nbsp;83(b) of the Code, which must be filed no later than thirty
  (30) days after the date of the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement.&#160;
  Failure to file an election under Section&nbsp;83(b), if appropriate, may result
  in adverse tax consequences to the Participant.&#160; The Participant acknowledges
  that he or she has been advised to consult with a tax advisor regarding the
  tax consequences to the Participant of the acquisition of Shares hereunder.&#160;
  ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION&nbsp;83(b) THE PARTICIPANT WISHES TO MAKE MUST BE
  FILED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH THE PARTICIPANT ACQUIRES
  THE SHARES.&#160; THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED.&#160; THE PARTICIPANT
  ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION&nbsp;83(b) ELECTION IS THE PARTICIPANT&#146;S
