*This interest figure has been calculated by the IRS, under 26 U.S.C. 6601
and/or 6621, as of the anticipated date of sentencing. This interest figure
does not include any interest that may accrue under 18 U.S.C. 3612.

Defendant agrees to pay restitution by making an immediate payment in full
on or before the date set for sentencing.
[ 5/]
- If the Court orders the defendant to pay restitution to the IRS for the
failure to pay tax, either directly as part of the sentence or as a
condition of supervised release, the IRS will use the restitution order as
the basis for a civil assessment. See 26 U.S.C. § 6201(a)(4). The
defendant does not have the right to challenge the amount of this
assessment. See 26 U.S.C. § 6201(a)(4)(C). Neither the
existence of a restitution payment schedule nor the defendant's timely
payment of restitution according to that schedule will preclude the IRS from
administrative collection of the restitution-based assessment, including
levy and distraint under 26 U.S.C. § 6331.
- Defendant agrees that [ he/she ] will sign any IRS forms
deemed necessary by the IRS to enable the IRS to make an immediate

"Tax Information Authorization."

tax set forth in paragraph [ 3 ]. Defendant agrees to
the immediate assessment of the fraud penalty on the amount to be
credited to tax set forth in paragraph [ 3 ] and agrees
that, in order to enable the IRS to make an immediate assessment of the
fraud penalty, the IRS form [ he/she ] agreed to sign in
paragraph [ 5 ] will include the appropriate amount of
the fraud penalty. Defendant agrees not to challenge or dispute any
fraud penalties on the amount to be credited to tax set forth in
paragraph [ 3 ]. [ 6/]
- The parties understand that defendant will receive proper credit,
consistent with paragraph [ 3 ] above, for the
payments made pursuant to this agreement. Except as set forth in the
previous sentence, nothing in this agreement shall limit the IRS in its
lawful examination, determination, assessment, or collection of any
taxes, penalties or interest due from the defendant for the time
period(s) covered by this agreement or any other time period.
- Defendant agrees that this agreement, or any judgment, order, release,
or satisfaction issued in connection with this agreement, will not
satisfy, settle, or compromise the defendant's obligation to pay the
balance of any remaining civil liabilities, including tax, additional
tax, additions to tax, interest, and penalties, owed to the IRS for the
time period(s) covered by this agreement or any other time period.
- Defendant understands that [ he/she ] is not
entitled to credit with the IRS for any payment sent to an incorrect
