Under section 7121 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), the shareholder filing this Form 8621-A (“Shareholder”), 
and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (“Commissioner”) hereby make the following closing agreement (“Closing Agreement”). 
WHEREAS, Shareholder is requesting consent to make the election specified in Part I of this Form 8621-A with respect to the  PFIC 
specified on page 1 of this Form 8621-A (“Corporation”). 
WHEREAS, Shareholder has completed ALL of the applicable information requested on pages 1 and 2 of this Form 8621-A, which 
is incorporated into this closing agreement by reference. 
WHEREAS, under Regulations section 1.1298-3(e)(1) and Regulations section 1.1297-3(e)(1), the  Commissioner may grant consent 
to  make     a      late purging election     if (1)   Shareholder           requests  consent  to         make    such   election    before 
a representative of the Internal Revenue Service raises upon audit the PFIC status of the foreign corporation for any taxable year 
of Shareholder; (2) Shareholder has agreed in a closing agreement with the Commissioner to eliminate any prejudice to the interests 
of the U.S. Government as a consequence of Shareholder’s inability to file amended returns for the taxable year in which the CFC 
qualification date or termination date, as applicable, falls, or an earlier closed taxable year in which Shareholder has taken a position 
that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Corporation as a PFIC; and (3) Shareholder satisfies the procedural requirements set 
forth in Regulations section 1.1298-3(e)(3) or Regulations section 1.1297-3(e)(3). 
WHEREAS,  Regulations  section  1.1298-3(e)(2)  and  Regulations  section  1.1297-3(e)(2)  provide  that  the    interests  of  the  U.S. 
Government  are  prejudiced  if  granting  relief  would  result  in  Shareholder  having  a  lower  tax  liability  (other  than 
by  a  de  minimis  amount),  taking  into  account  applicable  interest  charges,  for  the  taxable  year  that  includes  the  CFC  qualification 
date or termination date, as applicable (or a prior taxable year in which Shareholder took a position on a return that was inconsistent 
with  the  treatment  of  the  Corporation  as  a  PFIC),  than  Shareholder  would  have  had  if  Shareholder  had  properly  made  the  section 
1298(b)(1) election in the time prescribed in Regulations sections 1.1298-3(b)(3) or (c)(4) or Regulations sections  1.1297-3(b)(3) or (c)(4) or 
had not taken a position in a return for an earlier year that was inconsistent with the status of the Corporation as a PFIC. 
THEREFORE, based on the material submitted by Shareholder in connection with this Closing Agreement, and in the absence of 
other material factual or legal circumstances concerning the events described above, it is determined and agreed for federal income 
tax purposes that— 
1. The Commissioner grants Shareholder permission to make the election specified in Part I of this Form 8621-A with respect to 
Corporation. 
2. If Shareholder had made a timely election for the Election Year for Corporation, it would have had an increase in tax for the 
Election Year in the amounts shown in Part IV of this Form 8621-A. Therefore, the payment of the amount shown on line 21 of this 
Form 8621-A is sufficient to eliminate any prejudice to the interest of the U.S. Government as a result of Taxpayer’s inability to file 
a return for the Election Year, a closed taxable year. 
3. Shareholder’s basis in the stock of Corporation owned directly by the shareholder will be increased by the amount of the gain 
resulting from the deemed sale  election shown on line 4 or line 8 of this Form 8621-A or the amount of the deemed dividend resulting 
from the deemed dividend election shown on line 3 or line 7 of this Form 8621-A. 
4. This Closing Agreement constitutes a resolution under the Code of the specific matters discussed herein. No inference shall 
be made with respect to whether this resolution satisfies other federal law. 
5. Shareholder understands that Shareholder may have defenses to the collection of tax described in the preceding paragraphs. 
Nevertheless, Shareholder voluntarily waives all defenses to the assessment and collection of tax, penalties, and interest described 
in the preceding paragraphs, including any defenses based on the expiration of the period of limitations on assessment or collection. 
NOW  THIS  CLOSING  AGREEMENT  WITNESSETH,  that  Shareholder  and  the  Commissioner  hereby  mutually  agree  to  the 
determinations  set  forth  above  and  further  mutually  agree  that  those  determinations  shall  be  final  and  conclusive,  subject, 
however,  to  reopening  in  the  event  of  fraud,  malfeasance,  or  misrepresentation  of  material  fact,  and  provided  that  any 
change  or  modification  of  applicable  statutes  or  tax  conventions  shall  render  this  Closing  Agreement  ineffective  to  the  extent 
that it is dependent upon such statutes or tax conventions. 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, by signing the foregoing, the above parties signify that they have read and agreed to the terms of this 
document.
