By the Reflection invariance of Brownian motion, is Brownian motion, and the first time reaches is the first time reaches . Part b therefore gives
Now is the exponential Brownian martingale. At , the identity gives , so . The nonnegative stopped martingale therefore loses no mass at infinity and is uniformly integrable. The optional sampling theorem at any stopping time gives
