Registry Operator will maintain these reports for the term of the Agreement unless a shorter period is required by law or approved by ICANN, and will provide them to ICANN upon request.

(d) The Company assumes no responsibility for individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. [Additionally, the Company assumes no responsibility in the event that the Option, or the tax treatment related thereto, is ultimately other than the tax treatment afforded for ISOs, whether such other treatment is the result of changes in the tax laws, a disqualifying disposition by Employee, or for any other reason.] Employee should consult with Employee’s personal tax advisor regarding the tax ramifications, if any, which result from the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option, and any subsequent disposition of Common Shares. If, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time, it is necessary or appropriate to collect or withhold federal, state or local taxes in connection with the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of any portion of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares, the Company shall be entitled to require the payment of such amounts as a condition to exercise. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Employee shall pay or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all withholding obligations. In furtherance and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Employee (on its own behalf and on behalf of each and every other proper party as described in Section 2(b) and/or Section 3(c) of this Agreement) hereby authorizes the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time (including without limitation, pursuant to the then-current procedures implemented by the Administrator, as such Administrator and procedures are designated by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason at any time and from time to time), to satisfy all withholding and all other obligations with regard to any individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to the grant, vesting, adjustment or exercise of the Option and/or any subsequent disposition of Common Shares by one or a combination of the following: i. withholding from any wages or other cash compensation payable to Employee by the Company; ii. withholding Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option; iii. arranging for the sale of Common Shares that are otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, including, without limitation, selling Common Shares as part of a block trade with other employees under the Plan or otherwise; and/or iv. withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Option. (e) In considering the exercise of the Option, Employee understands, acknowledges, agrees and hereby stipulates that he or she should use the same independent investment judgment that Employee would use in making other investments in corporate securities. Among other things, stock prices will fluctuate over any reasonable period of time and the price of the Common Shares may go down as well as up. No guarantees are made as to the future prospects of the Company or the Common Shares, or that any market for sale of the Common Shares will exist in the future. No representations are made by the Company except as may be contained in any active registration statement on file with the SEC relating to the Plan at the time of the applicable exercise of the Option.

• Forfeiture Events In addition to the rights available to the Company under Section 3 above, upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 11.2 of the Plan (a “Forfeiture Event”), you, without any further action by the Company or you, shall forfeit, as of the first day of any such Forfeiture Event: (a) all rights and interest to these Units; (b) any Shares received in settlement of these Units then owned by you or by another person for your benefit; and (c) any and all profits realized by you, on an after-tax basis, pursuant to any sales or transfer of any Shares received in settlement of these Units within the six (6) month period prior to the date of such Forfeiture Event.

Whether or not the Company elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if the Company does not recover by means of set-off the full amount you owe to the Company, calculated as set forth above, you agree to pay immediately the unpaid balance to the Company.
