Federal Income Tax Consequences
−Removed: The following is a general summary of the material
−Removed: federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired
−Removed: pursuant to the exercise of such Awards.
−Removed: This summary is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
−Removed: However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll
−Removed: tax considerations.
+Added: following is a general summary of the material U.S.
+Added: federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of Awards under
+Added: the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Awards.
+Added: This summary is intended to reflect the current
+Added: provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
+Added: However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable
+Added: law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll tax considerations.
Moreover, the U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein
−Removed: by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.
−Removed: There are a number of requirements that must be met
−Removed: for a particular Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.
−Removed: One such requirement is that Common Stock acquired through the exercise
−Removed: of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one
−Removed: year from the date of its exercise.
−Removed: Holders of Incentive Stock Options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time
−Removed: of grant or upon exercise of those Options.
−Removed: However, the spread at exercise will be an “item of tax preference,” which may
−Removed: give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs.
−Removed: If the holder does not
−Removed: dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference
−Removed: between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the
−Removed: Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes
−Removed: in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.
−Removed: If, within two years following the date of grant or within one
−Removed: year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of those
−Removed: shares, the Participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the
−Removed: exercise price and the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition
−Removed: of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations
−Removed: on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections.
−Removed: if an otherwise Incentive Stock Option becomes first exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000
−Removed: (based on the date of grant value), the portion of the Incentive Stock Option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified
−Removed: stock option for federal income tax purposes.
−Removed: No income will be realized by a Participant upon grant
−Removed: of a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
−Removed: Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
−Removed: income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying exercised shares over the Option Exercise
−Removed: Price paid at the time of exercise.
−Removed: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay
−Removed: to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
−Removed: The Company will be able to deduct this same amount
+Added: federal income tax consequences to
+Added: any particular participant may differ from those described herein by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such
+Added: are a number of requirements that must be met for a particular Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option.
+Added: One such requirement
+Added: is that Common Stock acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years
+Added: from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one year from the date of its exercise.
+Added: Holders of Incentive Stock Options will generally
+Added: incur no federal income tax liability at the time of grant or upon exercise of those Options.
+Added: However, the spread at exercise will be
+Added: an “item of tax preference,” which may give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year
+Added: in which the exercise occurs.
+Added: If the holder does not dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant
+Added: and one year following the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the
+Added: shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be.
+Added: Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction
+Added: will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.
+Added: If, within two years following the date of grant or within one year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through
+Added: the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of those shares, the Participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the
+Added: time of such disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the share on the
+Added: date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by
+Added: the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the
+Added: Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Finally, if an otherwise Incentive Stock Option becomes first
+Added: exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 (based on the date of grant value), the portion
+Added: of the Incentive Stock Option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified stock option for federal income tax
+Added: will be realized by a Participant upon grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
+Added: Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the
+Added: Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying
+Added: exercised shares over the Option exercise price paid at the time of exercise.
+Added: Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings,
+Added: and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
+Added: Company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections
+Added: 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
+Added: Participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock unless the Participant otherwise elects to be taxed
+Added: at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code.
+Added: On the date an Award of Restricted Stock becomes transferable or is no longer
+Added: subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between
+Added: the Fair Market Value of the shares on that date over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any.
+Added: Such income will be subject
+Added: to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in
+Added: respect to such income.
+Added: If the Participant made an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant will recognize ordinary
+Added: compensation income at the time of grant equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant over
+Added: the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as
+Added: a capital gain upon sale of the shares.
+Added: Special rules apply to the receipt and disposition of Restricted Shares received by officers
+Added: and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
+Added: The Company will
+Added: be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for
federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid
to certain executives designated in those Sections.

+Added: Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant
+Added: to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the Fair Market Value of the number

+Added: Such income will be subject to income
+Added: tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect
+Added: to such income.

−Removed: federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the

−Removed: A Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
