Any notice may be sent using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger service, telecopy, telex, ordinary mail or electronic mail), but no such notice will be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it is actually received by the intended recipient.

The Company and its Related Companies hold certain personal information about you, that may include your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other employee identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock held in the Company, or details of any entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, vested, or unvested, for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).  The Company and/or its Related Companies will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of your participation in the Plan, and the Company and/or any of its Related Companies may each further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  These recipients may be located throughout the world, including the United States.  You authorize them to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of shares of stock on your behalf by a broker or other third party with whom you may elect to deposit any shares of stock acquired pursuant to the Plan.  You may, at any time, review Data, require any necessary amendments to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company; however, withdrawing consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  


13.    Independent Tax Advice. You acknowledge that determining the actual tax consequences to you of receiving or disposing of the RSUs and Shares may be complicated.  These tax consequences will depend, in part, on your specific situation and may also depend on the resolution of currently uncertain tax law and other variables not within the control of the Company.  You are aware that you should consult a competent and independent tax advisor for a full understanding of the specific tax consequences to you of receiving the RSUs and receiving or disposing of the Shares.  Prior to executing this Agreement, you either have consulted with a competent tax advisor independent of the Company to obtain tax advice concerning the receipt of the RSUs and the receipt or disposition of the Shares in light of your specific situation or you have had the opportunity to consult with such a tax advisor but chose not to do so.

a.    Timeliness.  The party asserting a claim must make an arbitration demand in writing upon the other party within the legally applicable limitations period for filing the same claim in court.

The arbitrator will decide all issues of timeliness.
