11. | Tax Election. The Grantee understands that an election may be made under Section 83(b) of the Code to accelerate the Grantee’s tax obligation with respect to receipt of the Shares from the Vesting Dates to the Grant Date by submitting an election to the Internal Revenue Service substantially in the form attached hereto. |

Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement or the award of Shares shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantee, any Beneficiary of the Grantee or the legal representative thereof. |

Capitalized terms herein not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee respecting the Plan, this Agreement, the award of NQSOs or the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the NQSOs shall be binding and conclusive upon the Option Holder, any Beneficiary of the Option Holder or the legal representative thereof. |
