    <TD align="left" valign="top">Under Section&nbsp;83 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the &#147;Code&#148;), the difference between
the purchase price paid for the
shares of Stock and their fair
market value on the date any
forfeiture restrictions applicable
to such shares lapse will be
reportable as ordinary income at
that time. For this purpose,
&#147;forfeiture restrictions&#148; include
the forfeiture as to unvested Stock
described above. You may elect to
be taxed at the time the shares are
acquired, rather than when such
shares cease to be subject to such
forfeiture restrictions, by filing
an election under Section&nbsp;83(b) of
the Code with the Internal Revenue
Service within thirty (30)&nbsp;days
after the Grant Date. You will have
to make a tax payment to the extent
the purchase price is less than the
fair market value of the shares on
the Grant Date. No tax payment will
have to be made to the extent the
purchase price is at least equal to
the fair market value of the shares
on the Grant Date. The form for
making this election is attached as
Exhibit&nbsp;A hereto. Failure to make
this filing within the thirty (30)
day period will result in the
recognition of ordinary income by
you (in the event the fair market
value of the shares as of the
vesting date exceeds the purchase
price) as the forfeiture
restrictions lapse.</TD>
