Employee’s responsibility, and (ii) neither the Company, or their subsidiaries
or affiliates, nor any of their respective past or present directors, officers,
employees or agents shall have any liability for any such tax.

equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee
benefit plans, then the Company shall send to Employee written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen calendar days after receipt of such notice,
