This agreement applies to all services performed outside the United States by each U.S. citizen or resident employed by any of the foreign

affiliates named. However, the agreement applies to such services only to the extent that payments to each employee for the services would be

considered wages if paid by the employer for services performed in the United States. This agreement does not apply to any service that is

considered employment for purposes of the employee tax and the employer tax under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act.

For an original agreement, an amendment to an agreement that was entered into after April 20, 1983, or an election to apply the rules in effect after

April 20, 1983, to agreements in effect on that date, the American employer declares that it owns at least a 10% interest (directly or through one or

more entities) in the voting stock or profits of each foreign entity named above. It also declares that Code section 3121(l) does not prevent this agreement.

For an amendment to an agreement in effect on April 20, 1983, without making the election to apply the new rules in effect after that date, the

domestic corporation declares that (a) it owns at least 20% of the voting stock of each foreign corporation named above, or (b) it owns at least

20% of the voting stock of a foreign corporation that owns more than 50% of the voting stock of each foreign corporation named above. It also

declares that Code section 3121(l) does not prevent this agreement.

The American employer agrees:

1. To pay amounts equal to the taxes that would be imposed by Code sections 3101 and 3111 if the payment for the services were considered

wages;

2. To pay, on written notification and demand, amounts equal to the interest, additions to taxes, and penalties that would apply if the payment

for the services were considered wages; and

3. To comply with all regulations under Code section 3121(l).

This agreement (or amended agreement or election) is entered into under the provisions of section 3121(l) of the Internal Revenue Code and the

applicable regulations.
