7.
83( b ) ELECTION . Under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the difference between the purchase price paid for the Restricted Shares 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. Grantee 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 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within the 30 days following the date Grantee acquires the Restricted Shares. Grantee 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 acquisition 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 date the Grantee acquired the Restricted Shares. The form and instructions for making this election are attached as Exhibit A hereto. Failure to make this filing within the 30-day period will result in the recognition of ordinary income by Grantee (in the event the Fair Market Value of the shares increases after the date of acquisition) as the forfeiture restrictions lapse.
GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS HIS SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS BEHALF. GRANTEE IS RELYING SOLELY ON HIS OWN ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE ANY 83(b) ELECTION.
