TAX WITHHOLDING. Each Grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of any Grant first becomes includable in the gross income of the Grantee for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind that are required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. A Grantee may elect to have such tax withholding satisfied, in whole or in part, by # authorizing the Company to withhold a number of Shares to be issued pursuant to a Grant equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date withholding is effected that would satisfy the withholding amount due, # transferring to the Company Shares owned by the Grantee with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the required withholding tax, or # in the case of a Grantee who is an Employee of the Company at the time such withholding is effected, by withholding from the Grantee's cash compensation. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, the Grantee's satisfaction of any tax-withholding requirements imposed by the Committee shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligation as may otherwise by provided hereunder to provide Shares to the Grantee, and the failure of the Grantee to satisfy such requirements with respect to a Grant shall cause such Grant to be forfeited.
Tax Withholding. The Grantee hereby agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company for such income and employment tax withholding as may be required of the Company under applicable United States federal, state, local law or foreign law on account of the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement. The Grantee may satisfy any withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by electing # to make a payment to the Company in cash, by check, electronic funds transfer or by other instrument acceptable to the Company, # to deliver to the Company a number of already-owned Shares having a value not greater than the amount required to be withheld (such number may be rounded up to the next whole share) as may be permitted pursuant to written policies or rules adopted by the Committee and in effect at the time of exercise, or # by any combination of (i) and (ii). In addition, the Committee may also permit, in its sole discretion and in accordance with such policies and rules as it deems appropriate, the Grantee to have the Company withhold a number of Shares which would otherwise be issued pursuant to this Agreement having a value not greater than the amount required to be withheld (such number may be rounded up to the next whole share). The value of Shares to be withheld or delivered (as may be permitted by the Committee) shall be based on the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date the amount of tax withholding is determined. For avoidance of doubt, the Committee may change its policies and rules for tax withholding in its sole discretion from time to time for any reason.
The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to any other Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, any amount that the Company or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided that if there is a same-day sale of shares of Stock subject to an Award, the Grantee shall pay such withholding obligation on the day on which such same-day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligation, in whole or in part, # by causing the Company or such Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or # by delivering to the Company or such Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the Company or such Affiliate as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 18.3 may satisfy such Grantee’s withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements. The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding requirements upon the exercise, vesting or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the Company or the applicable Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state or local taxing authority with respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions or payment of shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the immediately prior sentence, the Committee, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, may allow Grantees to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment and/or other applicable taxes payable by them with respect to an Award by electing to have the Company withhold upon the exercise, vesting or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum statutory amount (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amounts in relevant tax jurisdictions). Notwithstanding Section 2.22 or this Section 18.3, for purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding obligation pursuant to this Section 18.3, for any shares of Stock subject to an Award that are sold by or on behalf of a Grantee on the same date on which such shares may first be sold pursuant to the terms of the related Award Agreement, the Fair Market Value of such shares shall be the sale price of such shares on such date (or if sales of such shares are effectuated at more than one sale price, the weighted average sale price of such shares on such date), so long as such Grantee has provided the Company, or its designee or agent, with advance written notice of such sale.
The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from any settlement of a Grant, including the delivery or vesting of Shares or dividend equivalents, an amount sufficient to cover withholding required by law for any federal, state or local taxes or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion and consistent with Applicable Laws, may permit Shares to be used to satisfy required tax withholding, and such shares shall be valued at the Fair Market Value as of the settlement date of the applicable Grant. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Common Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.
5 Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes or other amounts in connection with any payment made to or benefit realized by the Grantee under this Agreement, and the amounts available to the for such withholding are insufficient, it shall be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Grantee make arrangements satisfactory to the for payment of the balance of such taxes or other amounts required to be withheld. If the Grantee’s benefit is to be received in the form of Common Shares, then, if so permitted by the Committee, the may withhold Common Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Common Shares used for tax or other withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of such Common Shares on the date the benefit is to be included in the Grantee’s income. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the market value of Common Shares to be withheld pursuant to this [Section 5] to satisfy applicable withholding taxes or other amounts will not exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. The Committee may, at its discretion, adopt any alternative method of providing for taxes to be withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the be required to withhold or accept Common Shares for payment of any taxes if, in the good faith determination of the Committee, such withholding NAI-1534978711v2
