Common use of SPECIAL TAX ELECTION Clause in Contracts

SPECIAL TAX ELECTION. (a) Under Section 83 of the Code, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Stock on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the purchase price paid for those shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes vesting provisions applicable to the Restricted Stock as provided in Section 2 hereof. The Grantee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is acquired, rather than when and as such Restricted Stock ceases to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement.
