Option prior to the earlier of April 14, 2012 or the date of a Qualified IPO, unless you
make a section 83(b) election within 30 days of exercise, taxes will be deferred until
the earlier of April 14, 2012 or the date of a Qualified IPO, at which time the value of
the Shares at such time over the exercise price paid is income to you, subject to
wage-based withholding and reporting. When you sell your Purchased Shares, or your BOGO
Shares (assuming an 83(b) election, if applicable, was made), the excess (or shortfall)
between the amount you receive upon the sale and the value of the shares at the time you
acquired them is treated as capital gain (or loss). State and local taxes may also apply.
You should consult your personal tax advisor for more information concerning the tax
treatment of your Purchased Shares, BOGO Option and BOGO Shares. The Company is not making
any representations concerning tax consequences, and is not responsible for any taxes,
interest or penalties you incur in connection with your Shares or BOGO Option, even if the
taxing authorities successfully challenge any position taken by the Company in respect of
wage withholding and reporting or otherwise.
