Tax Withholding. As a condition to the release of Shares upon vesting and lapse of restrictions on transfer, the Participant shall, not later than the date on which the Award becomes a taxable event for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company any federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the tax-withholding obligation shall be satisfied by the Company’s retention from the Participant of such number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of tax required to be withheld by law, rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the Participant’s payment of the remainder of the tax withholding obligation in cash or by certified or bank check.

Tax Withholding. As set forth in [Section 11.2] of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Award. The Company shall not be obligated to transfer Shares held in escrow to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Award or the issuance of Shares.

The Company shall withhold, or cause to be withheld, Shares otherwise vesting or issuable under this Award in satisfaction of any applicable withholding tax obligations. The number of Shares which may be so withheld or surrendered 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 minimum individual statutory withholding rates in Participant’s applicable jurisdictions for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such taxable income.

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 Restricted Shares. On each date on which Restricted Shares vest, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Participant of the amount of withholding taxes due with respect to the vesting of the Restricted Shares that vest on such date; provided, however, that the total tax withholding cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), unless withholding at a higher rate would not result in adverse accounting treatment (in which case such withholding shall not exceed maximum statutory withholding rates). The Participant shall satisfy such tax withholding obligations by transferring to the Company, on each date on which Restricted Shares vest under this Agreement, such number of Restricted Shares that vest on such date as have a fair market value (calculated using the last reported sale price of the common stock of the Company on the NASDAQ National Market on the trading date immediately prior to such vesting date) equal to the amount of the Company’s tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of such Restricted Shares. Such delivery of Restricted Shares to the Company shall be deemed to happen automatically, without any action required on the part of the Participant, and the Company is hereby authorized to take such actions as are necessary to effect such delivery.

Tax Withholding. In the event the Participant or his or her 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 Award 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 Award is settled, the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations in connection with settlement of the Award. 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

Taxes. No Shares shall be delivered under the Plan to any Participant or other person until the Participant or other person has made arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income and employment tax withholding obligations, including without limitation, obligations incident to the receipt of Shares. Upon exercise or vesting of an Award, the Company shall withhold or collect from the Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, including, but not limited to, by surrender of the whole number of Shares covered by the Award sufficient to satisfy the minimum applicable tax withholding obligations incident to the exercise or vesting of an Award, or such higher withholding limit if applicable under accounting rules without triggering liability classification. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the exercise or settlement of any Award, the Company or the Bank shall have the right to withhold taxes from any compensation or other amounts that the Bank may owe to the Participant, or to require the Participant to pay to the Company or the Bank the amount of any taxes that the Company or the Bank may be required to withhold with respect to the Shares issued to the Participant.

Tax Withholding. In the event the Participant or his or her 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 Award 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 Award is settled, the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s tax obligations in connection with settlement of the Award. The Participant may, instead, choose to deliver to the Company a check payable to the Company in the amount of all withholding tax

Income Tax Matters. In order to comply with all applicable federal, foreign, state or local income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, foreign, state or local payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or collected from Participant. Upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the lapse of the restrictions with respect to the Restricted Stock Units under the terms of this Award Agreement, Participant shall be obligated to pay any applicable withholding taxes arising from such vesting and lapse of restrictions. Unless the Company receives an irrevocable written instruction, addressed to the attention of the Secretary of the Company, from Participant prior to the date that the Restricted Stock Units vest and the restrictions lapse, the Company shall automatically withhold as payment the number of Shares of Common Stock, determined by the Fair Market Value on the applicable vesting date as set forth in Section 3 and lapse of restrictions, required to pay the applicable withholding taxes (but only to the extent necessary to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements if required under ASC Topic 718).

Election to Withhold Shares. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board regarding the payment, of any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amount of Shares, including Shares that are part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement, with a Fair Market Value at the time of withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates (including the employee’s share of payroll or similar taxes) prevailing in the jurisdiction(s) applicable to the relevant Participant may be used to satisfy such withholding (provided however, that with respect to a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, such Participant may only have Shares withheld at a rate that does not exceed such Participant’s estimated tax obligations attributable to the underlying transaction). The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

Tax Withholding and Default Method of Tax Withholding. When Shares are issued as payment for vested Restricted Stock Units, Participant generally will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income if Participant is a U.S. taxpayer. If Participant is a non-U.S. taxpayer, Participant will be subject to applicable taxes in his or her jurisdiction. The minimum amount of Tax Obligations which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to this Award (“Tax Withholding Obligation”) will be satisfied by Shares being sold on Participant’s behalf at the prevailing market price pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time, including through a broker-assisted arrangement (it being understood that the Shares to be sold must have vested pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement and the Plan). The proceeds from the sale will be used to satisfy Participant’s Tax Withholding Obligation arising with respect to this Award. In addition to Shares sold to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation, additional Shares will be sold to satisfy any associated broker or other fees. Only whole Shares will be sold to satisfy any Tax Withholding Obligation. Any proceeds from the sale of Shares in excess of the Tax Withholding Obligation and any associated broker or other fees will be paid to Participant in accordance with procedures the Company may specify from time to time. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly consents to the sale of Shares to cover the Tax Withholding Obligations (and any associated broker or other fees) and agrees and acknowledges that Participant may not satisfy them by any means other than such sale of Shares, unless required to do so by the Administrator or pursuant to the Administrator’s express written consent.
