7.

Federal Taxes: The Options granted to you are treated as “nonqualified options” for federal tax purposes, which means that when you exercise, the excess of the value of the Shares issued on exercise over the exercise price paid for the Shares is income to you, subject to wage-based withholding and reporting. When you sell the Shares acquired upon exercise, the excess (or shortfall) between the amount you receive upon the sale and the value of the shares at the time of exercise is treated as capital gain (or loss). State and local taxes may also apply. You should consult your personal tax advisor for more information concerning the tax treatment of your Options. The Company is not making any representations concerning the tax treatment of the Options, and is not responsible for any taxes, interest or penalties you incur in connection with your Options, even if the taxing authorities successfully challenge any position taken by the Company in respect of wage withholding and reporting or otherwise.

We are excited to give you this opportunity to share in our future success. Please indicate your acceptance of this option grant and the terms of the Plan by signing and returning a copy of this letter.

Agreed to and Accepted by:
