Withholding. Prior to the issuance of shares upon the exercise of the Option, the Participant must make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company. The Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of the Option by any of the following means: # tendering a cash payment; # authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or # delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock. The Company has the right to withhold from any compensation paid to a Participant.

Withholding. The Participant shall pay to the Company or any applicable Company Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the Company or such Company Affiliate, for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with the exercise of any portion of this Option, as applicable, under one of the methods permitted by the Plan. Subject to any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, the Company shall, unless otherwise instructed by a Participant, withhold from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant upon the exercise of this Option or any portion thereof a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting); provided that the foregoing is at such time permitted under the terms of the agreements governing any indebtedness to which the Company or any Company Affiliate may be a party; and provided, further that no fractional Shares will be retained to satisfy any portion of the withholding tax and the Participant hereby agrees to satisfy any additional amount of withholding taxes that are not satisfied through the retention of Shares by the Company. Any Shares retained by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be deducted from the underlying Shares to be received by such Participant upon exercise of this Option. Any adverse consequences to the Participant arising in connection with the Share withholding procedure set forth in the preceding sentence shall be the sole responsibility of the Participant.

Withholding. No Shares will be issued on exercise of the Options unless and until Participant pays to Company, or makes satisfactory arrangements with Company for payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of the exercise of the Options. Participant hereby agrees that Company may withhold from Participant’s wages or other remuneration the applicable taxes. At the discretion of Company, the applicable taxes may be withheld in kind from the Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant on exercise of the Options, up to Participant’s minimum required withholding rate or such other rate determined by the Committee that will not trigger a negative accounting impact.

Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or payment of any other Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made for the payment of any income and employment tax amounts (federal, state, local or other) that may be required to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect thereto. In addition, on the occurrence of an event with respect to an Award that requires the Company to withhold taxes, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company whereby such taxes may be paid. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the person to tender to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the person, or to request the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock that otherwise would have been acquired pursuant to the Award, whether through the exercise of an Option or as a distribution pursuant to the Award, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by check payable and acceptable to the Company.

Tax Withholding. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

Optionee may not exercise the Option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Subsidiary are satisfied. Accordingly, Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Common Stock.

Withholding. As a condition to the issuance of any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, the Company may withhold, or require the Optionee to pay or reimburse the Company for, any taxes that the Company determines are required to be withheld under federal, state or local law in connection with the exercise of the Option.
