forfeiture as provided in this Article III, but only to
- 2 -
the extent the Shares are at the time subject to forfeiture. Appropriate
adjustments to reflect the distribution of such Distributed Property shall
be made to the number of Shares hereunder.
ARTICLE IV
ESCROW FOR UNVESTED SHARES
4.1 Deposit. Upon issuance, the certificates for the Unvested
-------
Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in
accordance with the provisions of this Article IV. The deposited
certificates, together with any other assets or securities from time to time

shall remain in escrow until such time or times as the certificates (or
other assets and securities) are to be released or otherwise surrendered for
cancellation in accordance with Section 4.3.
4.2 Recapitalization. Any cash dividends on the Shares (or other
----------------
securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to Grantee and

immediately delivered to the Company to be held in escrow under this Article

requirements of Section 4.1.
4.3 Release/Surrender. The Shares, together with the Distributed
-----------------
Property and any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions relating to their release
from escrow or their surrender to the Company for repurchase and
cancellation:
(i) Should Grantee's Unvested Shares be forfeited as provided
in Section 3.1 hereof, then the escrowed certificates for such
Unvested Shares (together with any other assets or securities
issued with respect thereto) shall be delivered to the Company for
cancellation, and Grantee shall cease to have any further rights or
claims with respect to such Unvested Shares (or other assets or
securities).
(ii) As the interest of Grantee in Shares (or any other assets
or securities issued with respect thereto) vests in accordance with
the provisions of Schedule I, the certificates for such Vested
Shares (as well as all other vested assets and securities) shall be
released promptly from escrow and delivered to Grantee.
ARTICLE V
SPECIAL TAX ELECTION
5.1 Section 83(b) Election. Grantee understands that under Section
----------------------
83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the fair
market value of the Shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions
applicable to such Shares lapse will be reportable as ordinary income to
Grantee in the tax year in which such restrictions lapse. For this purpose,
the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the automatic forfeiture of
Unvested Shares as provided in Section 3.1
- 3 -
hereof. Grantee understands, however, that he may elect to be taxed at the
time the Shares are acquired hereunder, rather than when and as such Shares
cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions, by filing an
irrevocable election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal
Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. If
this irrevocable election is made, Grantee will be taxed on the fair market
value of the Shares as of the date of this Agreement (determined without
taking into account any forfeiture restrictions). The form for making this
irrevocable election is attached as Exhibit A hereto. In the event that
Grantee makes this irrevocable election, and Grantee's Unvested Shares are
forfeited pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, Grantee will not be entitled to
deduct the income, if any, previously recognized as income with respect to
those shares as a result of the election. Grantee understands that failure
to make this filing within the thirty (30) day period will result in the
recognition of ordinary income by Grantee as the forfeiture restrictions
lapse. GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND
NOT THE COMPANY'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON
SUCH GRANTEE'S BEHALF.
This summary is necessarily incomplete, and the tax laws and
regulations are subject to change. Grantee should consult a tax advisor
before making an election under Section 83(b).
