14. Acknowledgment Regarding Section 83(b) Election.  Employee understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) taxes as ordinary income the difference between the amount paid by Employee for the Restricted Stock and the fair market value of the shares as of the date any restrictions on the Restricted Stock lapse.  For purposes of this Agreement, such restrictions lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 4 above.  In this context, the “restrictions” applicable to the shares include the restriction on transfer and risk of forfeiture.  Employee understands that he/she may make an under Internal Revenue Code Section 83(b) (“83(b) Election”) to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock in tax year that corresponds to the Date of Grant, rather than in the tax years when the Restricted Stock becomes vested.  Employee understands that to be effective, such 83(b) Election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service and Company within thirty (30) days from the above referenced Date of Grant.  Employee understands that his/her failure to timely file an 83(b) Election would result in the Restricted Stock being taxed as ordinary income as it becomes vested.

Employee acknowledges that it is Employee’s sole responsibility and not the Company’s to timely file the election under Code Section 83(b), even if Employee requests the Company or its representative to make this filing on Employee’s behalf.

15. Terms of Agreement.  Wherever the form of this Agreement provides for the inclusion of additional information (such as the number of shares in Section 2 above), such information will be deemed to be part of this Agreement for all purposes and, by his/her acknowledgment of this Agreement, Employee will be deemed to have accepted such additional information.

16. Acknowledgment by Employee.  Employee acknowledges that (a) he/she has received and reviewed a copy of the Plan and (b) the provisions of the Plan are applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock.
