Tax Withholding. Shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to this Award shall be subject to applicable tax withholdings. The Company shall withhold from the delivery of Common Stock pursuant hereto shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of federal, state and other governmental tax withholding requirements (or, if permitted by the Company, and requested by the Employee, at a rate that is higher than the minimum statutory withholding rate) related thereto (subject to rounding to a number of whole shares, in such manner as the Company may determine). Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In lieu of such withholding, the Employee may elect, at or before such deadline as the Company may specify, and the Company require as a condition of delivery, that the Employee remit to the administrator an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements.

Withholding. You shall be solely responsible for all applicable foreign, federal, state, and local taxes, including payroll taxes, with respect to the Units and the payment of Common Stock thereunder; provided, however, that at any time the Company is required to withhold any such taxes, you shall pay, or make arrangements to pay, in a manner satisfactory to the Company, an amount equal to the amount of all applicable federal, state and local or foreign taxes that the Company is required or permitted to withhold at any time, including, if then permitted by the Company, by electing to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise then deliverable to you under this Award. The Company will withhold shares otherwise deliverable to you under this Award to satisfy all applicable employment taxes, as well as income taxes associated with the withholding of shares to satisfy your employment taxes, that become due as of the Grant Date as a result of the grant of this Award. With respect to your tax obligations on all subsequent tax dates, unless you have informed the Company of your intent to make alternate arrangements to satisfy your withholding obligations at least 60 days in advance of the applicable tax date (unless otherwise determined by the Company) and at a time when you are not otherwise precluded from trading Common Stock by law, the Company or one of its Affiliates shall have the automatic right to withhold such taxes from any payments that the Company would otherwise make to you (including salary, wages, any expenses reimbursable to you under the Company policies and any other compensation), including, but not limited to, the right to withhold shares otherwise deliverable to you under this Award. The Company will withhold taxes (e.g., federal, state and local taxes, including payroll taxes) in an amount at least equal to the minimum statutory taxes required to be withheld; provided, however, at your advanced election you may request the Company withhold additional amounts up to your maximum statutory individual tax rate in each relevant jurisdiction applicable to you at such time of withholding; and provided, further, that if the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to you under this Award are required to be retained by you to satisfy stock ownership guidelines, the Company shall withhold taxes in an amount equal to your maximum statutory individual tax rate in each relevant jurisdiction applicable to you at such time of withholding, in all cases, so long as the withholdings do not result in this Award being classified as a liability-based award in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Withholding of Tax. To the extent that this Award results in tax withholding for any federal or state income tax purposes, no later than the date as of which such tax withholding is first required, Recipient shall pay to the Company in cash any federal or state tax required to be withheld with respect to such amount. If the Recipient fails to do so, the Company will withhold Common Shares subject to this Award having a fair market value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum tax withholding obligation. In addition, the Recipient shall be permitted to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding requirements by making a written election (in accordance with such rules and regulations and in such form as the Company may determine) to have the Company withhold Common Shares subject to this Award having a fair market value on the date as of which such tax withholding is first required equal to the minimum tax withholding obligation. With respect to any individual subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Act of 1934, the Company shall not have any discretion over whether the individual satisfies such tax withholding obligations under this Award with cash or through the withholding of Common Shares subject to the award and such obligation shall be satisfied through the withholding of Common Shares subject to the Award (with no sale of Common Shares on behalf of the holder to satisfy such withholding obligations) or by using cash, as elected by such individual.

Withholding. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award. The Company may decide to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, a Participant may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations 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). Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any Common Shares or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any federal, state, local or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. An Agreement may provide that # the Company shall withhold whole Common Shares which would otherwise be delivered to a holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with an award (the “Tax Date”), or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or # the holder may satisfy any such obligation by any of the following means: # a cash payment to the Company; # delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of previously owned whole Common Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; # authorizing the Company to withhold whole Common Shares which would otherwise be delivered having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; # in the case of the exercise of an option, a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or # any combination of [(A), (B) and (C)])], in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the award. Any fraction of a Common Share which would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder.

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or pay cash upon the exercise, issuance or vesting of an Award under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Withholding Taxes. The Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such Withholding Taxes from any payment of cash under an Award or any other payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. With respect to Awards paid in shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Corporation the amount of any Withholding Taxes and to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect the interests of the Corporation in respect of such tax liabilities, including, without limitation, subject to such terms as the Plan Administrator may approve, withholding (or allowing the Participant to elect to have the Corporation withhold), or requiring the Participant to sell (or allowing Participant to elect to sell) through a special sale and remittance procedure arranged through a brokerage firm, a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Award in satisfaction of all or a portion of such Withholding Taxes. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be withheld pursuant to this [Section 3.4] shall be limited to the number of shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding not exceeding the aggregate amount of such Withholding Taxes, as determined based on the maximum statutory withholding rates (or such other withholding rates that have been determined by the Plan Administrator). To the extent approved by the Plan Administrator, the Participant may pay the Withholding Taxes with respect to an Award paid in shares of Common Stock by delivering shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Participant (other than in connection with such Award) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Withholding Taxes.

Payment of Tax-Related Items. No shares of Common Stock, nor any cash payment, may be delivered under this Award, unless prior to or simultaneously with such issuance, the Participant or, in the event of his death, the person succeeding to his rights hereunder, shall pay to the Corporation or an Affiliate, as applicable, such amount as the Corporation advises is required under applicable federal, state or local laws to withhold and pay over to governmental taxing authorities in relation to this Award. The Corporation may, in its discretion, withhold payment of required Tax-Related items (as defined in the Acknowledgement of Conditions section) with cash or shares of Common Stock which otherwise would be delivered following the date of vesting of the Award under this Section 2.
