If the Options do not qualify under any particular tax treatment it could result in adverse tax consequences to the Grantee. By signing below, Grantee agrees that the Company and its Affiliates and their respective employees, directors, officers and shareholders shall not be liable for any tax, penalty, interest or cost incurred by Grantee as a result of such determination, nor will any of them have any liability of any kind or nature in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, an Option does not qualify for any particular tax treatment.

If the IRS determines that the Exercise Price is less than such fair market value it could result in adverse tax consequences to Grantee.

 

8.3.              In case of Incentive Stock Options, adjustments made pursuant to the Plan with respect to Incentive Stock Options could constitute a “modification” of such Incentive Stock Options (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or could cause adverse tax consequences for the Grantee and the Grantee should consult with his or her tax advisor regarding the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the Incentive Stock Option.
