Responsibility for Taxes This provision replaces paragraph 6 of the Award Agreement (except if the Participant is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, the Subsidiary that employs the Participant (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (a) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of these Special Retention Awards, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of Special Retention Awards, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Special Retention Award and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (b) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Special Retention Awards or any aspect of the Special Retention Awards to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Participant shall not make any claim against the Company, the Employer or any other Subsidiary, or their respective board, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award. Furthermore, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy their withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by: (i) requiring a cash payment from the Participant; (ii) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, (iii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the Special Retention Awards, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); and/or (iv) withholding from the Shares subject to Special Retention Awards. Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the Share equivalent) or, if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, the Participant is deemed, for tax purposes, to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Special Retention Awards, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company and/or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
Liability for Transfer Taxes The Stockholder agrees to indemnify the Company for any Incremental Transfer Taxes incurred as a result of any direct or indirect transfers of the Company Shares received in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or interests therein (other than the receipt of the Merger Consideration by the Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement) within two years after the IPO Closing Date; provided that such Company Shares shall be the Company’s sole recourse with respect to such indemnification obligation. The Stockholder hereby grants a security interest in 50% of its Company Shares received in the Merger to the Company and hereby irrevocably appoints the Company, and any of its agents, officers, or employees as its attorney-in fact, which shall be deemed coupled with an interest, with full power to prepare, execute and deliver any documents, instruments and agreements as may be appropriate to perfect and continue such security interest in favor of the Company. The security interest granted pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall attach to the Company Shares that are not included in the Indemnity Holdback Amount. The Company agrees that the security interest in the Company Shares received by the Stockholder in the Merger may be released, or collateral may be substituted, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

No Taxes The Company is not, and will not, to the best of its knowledge, become with respect to any periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, liable for any income, sales, withholding, franchise, excise, license, real or personal property taxes (a “Tax”) to any foreign, United States federal, state or local governmental agencies whatsoever. All United States federal, state, county, municipality local or foreign income Tax returns and all other material Tax returns (including information returns) that are required, or have been required, to be filed by or on behalf of the Company has been or will be filed as of the Closing Date and all Taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company have been or will be paid as of the Closing Date.

All returns of the Company that have been filed relating to Tax are true and accurate in all material respects. No audit, action, suit, proceeding or other examination regarding taxes for which the Company may have any liability is currently pending against or with respect to the Company and the Company has not received any notice (formally or informally) of any audit, suit, proceeding or other examination. No material adjustment relating to any Tax returns, no closing or similar agreement have been entered into or issued or have been proposed (formally or informally) by any tax authority (insofar as such action relate to activities or income of or could result in liability of the Company for any Tax) and no basis exists for any such actions. The Company has not changed any election, adopted or changed any accounting method or period, filed any amended return for any Tax, settled any claim or assessment of any Tax, or surrendered any right to claim any refund of any Tax, or consented to any extension or waiver of the statute of limitations for any Tax. The Company has not had an “ownership change” as that term is defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and in effect.
