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

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.

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.

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 for Participants Domiciled in U.S. Withholding Requirements. By accepting this Award, Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company for the satisfaction, as of the applicable withholding date, of all applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements, including in connection with the vesting and settlement of this Award. No Shares will be issued until satisfaction of such applicable tax withholding has been received by the Company. Prior to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to this Award, the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to the vesting or settlement of this Award.

Tax Withholding. To the extent that the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award results in compensation income or wages to the Participant for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, Common Stock (including previously owned Common Stock, net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or delivered pursuant to this Award), other property, or any other legal consideration the Committee deems appropriate. If such tax obligations are satisfied through net settlement or the surrender of previously owned Common Stock, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or surrender equal to the aggregate amount of such tax liabilities determined based on the greatest withholding rates for federal, state, local and/or foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment for the Company with respect to this Award, as determined by the Committee. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or disposition of the underlying shares and that the Participant has been advised, and hereby is advised, to consult a tax advisor. The Participant represents that the Participant is in no manner relying on the Board, the Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees or authorized representatives (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, lenders, prospective lenders and financial representatives) for tax advice or an assessment of such tax consequences.

To satisfy the federal, state and local withholding tax obligations of a Participant arising in connection with an Award, the Company will withhold Shares otherwise issuable under the Award having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount to be withheld. However, the amount to be withheld will not exceed the total minimum federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction. If the number of Shares to be withheld shall include a fractional share, then the number of Shares withheld shall be increased to the next higher whole number, and the Company shall deliver to the Participant cash in lieu of such fractional share representing such increase.

Subject to compliance with all applicable legal requirements, the Company shall be entitled to withhold (or secure payment from the Participant in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect to any amount payable and/or Shares issuable under such Participant’s Award, and the Company may defer payment or issuance of the cash or Shares upon exercise or settlement of an Award unless indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for any such tax. The amount of such withholding or tax payment shall be determined by the Company and, in the Company’s sole discretion, such withholding obligation shall be satisfied by # having the Company withhold from such Award that number of Shares whose aggregate Fair Market Value on the date such Shares are withheld satisfies the amount of withholding taxes due, provided that the number of such Shares may not have a Fair Market Value greater than the minimum required statutory withholding liability unless determined by the Committee not to result in adverse accounting consequences, # direct payment (including by payroll deduction) by the Participant to the Company in cash of the amount of any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Award, or # a combination of (a) and (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to all Awards other than Options, if a Participant’s benefit is to be received in the form of Shares, then, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company will withhold from such Award that number of Shares whose aggregate Fair Market Value on the date such Shares are withheld satisfies the amount of withholding taxes due, provided that the number of such Shares may not have a Fair Market Value greater than the minimum required statutory withholding liability unless determined by the Committee not to result in adverse accounting consequences.

Withholding in Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Participant to satisfy all or any portion of the Company’s tax withholding obligations by deducting from the shares of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant in settlement of the Award a number of whole shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company as of the date on which the tax withholding obligations arise, not in excess of the amount of such tax withholding obligations determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.
