Tax Withholding. The Company, the Manager or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or the Manager shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to such entity, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation, which may arise prior to settlement of the RSUs) required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting or payment of the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents. In satisfaction of the foregoing requirement or in satisfaction of any additional tax withholding, # the Participant may remit to the Company, the Manager or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or the Manager such withholding tax obligations by cash or check or # the Company, the Manager or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or the Manager may, or the Administrator may in its discretion allow the Participant to elect to have the Company, the Manager or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or the Manager (as applicable), withhold Shares otherwise issuable under such award (or allow the return of Shares) having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting or payment of the RSUs and the Dividend Equivalents in order to satisfy the Participant’s income and payroll tax liabilities with respect thereto shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates in the applicable jurisdiction.

Taxes and Withholding. Participant shall satisfy any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld related to the RSUs by paying the Company or its Affiliate in cash the amount of such tax obligations (including, without limitation, by the Company or its Affiliate withholding such amounts from the Participant’s wages, which the Participant hereby authorizes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, by specific prior approval, may permit Participant to satisfy such tax obligations by having the Company or its Affiliate deduct from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant in settlement of the RSUs a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value not in excess of the amount of such tax obligations determined by the maximum applicable statutory withholding rates. The Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for Participant hereunder, and Participant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Participant with respect to the RSUs and any Shares issued in respect thereof. Participant acknowledges and understands that Participant should consult a tax advisor regarding Participant’s tax obligations related to the RSUs and the Shares issued in respect thereof.

Withholding. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the RSUs. On each Vesting Date (or other date or time at which the Company is required to withhold taxes associated with the RSUs), the Company will retain from the RSU Shares otherwise issuable on such date a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation with respect to such taxable event. If the Company is unable to retain sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company. The Company shall not deliver any RSU Shares to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.

The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under this RSU Agreement, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect to the RSUs or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to the Participant upon the settlement of the RSUs, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates (or the maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction if use of such rates would not result in adverse accounting consequences or cost). The Company may require the Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting or settlement of the RSUs, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the RSUs determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to such Participating Company in cash.

Tax Withholding. Vesting and settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to the Participant satisfying any applicable U.S. federal, state and local tax withholding obligations and non-U.S. tax withholding obligations. The Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any amounts payable to the Participant in connection with the RSUs or otherwise the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSUs, their settlement or any payment or transfer of the RSUs or under the Plan and to take any such other action as the Committee or the Company deem necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes (up to the maximum permissible withholding amounts). The Participant may elect to satisfy, and the Company may require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations by withholding shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the RSUs with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

Withholding of Tax. The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the RSUs and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

Taxes. The vesting and settlement of the RSUs and the payment of any dividend equivalent amounts will give rise to “wages” subject to withholding. Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Participant’s rights hereunder, including the right to be issued Shares in settlement of the RSUs and the right to receive any payments of dividend equivalent amounts, are subject to Participant promptly remitting to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion) any amounts determined by the Company to be required to be withheld. No Shares will be transferred, and no payment of dividend equivalent amounts will be made, pursuant to the settlement of the RSUs unless and until Participant has remitted to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements, or has made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. Participant authorizes the Company to withhold such amount from any amounts otherwise owed to Participant, including such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any employment tax obligations arising prior to the settlement of the RSUs. The Company may, at its option, withhold from the Shares deliverable in settlement of the RSUs a sufficient number of Shares to satisfy the minimum federal, state and local tax withholding due.

Withholding. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the RSUs. On each vesting date (or other date or time at which the Company is required to withhold taxes associated with the RSUs), the Company will retain from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable on such date a number of shares having a fair market value (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation. If the Company is unable to retain sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligations, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or an affiliate of the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld for taxes relating to the RSUs. The Company shall not deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made and if such withholding taxes cannot be timely satisfied, then the Participant shall forfeit the RSUs and have no further rights with respect to the award.

Withholding. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the RSUs. At the Company’s sole option, the Participant shall satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligation by, among other methods # the Company withholding shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs with an aggregate fair market value as of the date of withholding that would satisfy the withholding amount due, # the Participant transferring to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant with an aggregate fair market value as of the date of the withholding that would satisfy the withholding amount due (which shares are not subject to any vesting, forfeiture, transferability or other restrictions or limitations, or # the Participant engaging in a “sale to cover”, i.e. an open market sale of that number of shares of Common Stock required to be sold in order to satisfy the tax withholding liability due upon delivery of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not deliver any shares of Common Stock to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.

Tax Withholding. In the event the Participant or his personal representative elects to satisfy the withholding obligation by executing the withholding election form, the actual number of Shares delivered to the Participant upon vesting of the RSUs shall be reduced by a number of whole Shares, which, when multiplied by the Fair Market Value on the last trading day prior to the date that the RSUs are settled, the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations in connection with settlement of the RSUs. The Participant may, instead, choose to deliver to the Company a check payable to the Company in the amount of all withholding tax obligations (whether federal, state, local or foreign income or social insurance tax). In the event that the Participant fails to tender either the required certified check or withholding election, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected and executed the withholding election form; provided that, if, at the time that a tax withholding obligation arises in respect of the RSUs, the Participant has been designated as an “officer” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, unless otherwise elected in writing by the Participant, the Company shall withhold the maximum amount necessary to satisfy the amount of such withholding tax obligations.
