7. Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that the Grantee’s right to receive payment of the Award constitutes a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and regulatory guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), then notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable shall be delivered in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, because the shares of Common Stock will be delivered in a single sum as of the Award Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award should be exempt from Section 409A as a short-term deferral; but, in any event, the Grantee shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences related to this Award, and neither the Company nor its affiliates shall be responsible if the Award fails to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.
