You hereby agree to make adequate provision for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in connection with the grant, vesting or other event relating to the Restricted Shares or in connection with the grant, vesting, earning or payment of the Performance Award. To enable the satisfaction of your tax withholding obligations with respect to the Restricted Shares through the delivery of proceeds from the sale of Shares that are issued under this Agreement on the market, you should execute Exhibit A to this Agreement and return it to the Company by the deadline set forth therein; provided that such sale of Shares shall occur only if the Company or its Affiliates do not satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations by withholding the issuance or delivery of Shares hereunder. If you have not timely executed Exhibit A to this Agreement, then you shall, immediately upon notification of the amount of withholding taxes due, if any, in connection with the Restricted Shares, pay to the Company in cash or by check the amount necessary to satisfy any withholding obligations. The Company (and its Affiliates) shall also have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind due you (including withholding the issuance or delivery of Shares hereunder) the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the value of the Shares withheld or redeemed for taxes may not exceed the maximum statutory rate associated with the transaction with respect to which Shares are being withheld or redeemed to the extent necessary for the Company to avoid an accounting charge.

Tax Withholding. Participant hereby agrees to make adequate provision for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in connection with the grant of the Restricted Shares. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind due to the Participant (including withholding the issuance or delivery of shares of Restricted Stock or redeeming Restricted Shares) the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld as a result of the grant of the Restricted Shares, provided, however, that the value of the shares of Restricted Stock withheld or redeemed may not exceed the statutory minimum withholding amount required by law. In lieu of such deduction, the Company may require the Participant make a cash payment to the Company equal to the amount required to be withheld. If the Participant does not make such payment when requested, the Company may refuse to issue any Restricted Stock certificate under this Award until arrangements satisfactory to the Company for such payment have been made.

You hereby agree to make adequate provision for foreign, federal, state and local taxes and social insurance contributions required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in connection with the grant or vesting of the Award Shares. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation or any other payment of any kind due you (including withholding the issuance or delivery of shares of common stock or redeeming Award Shares) the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign taxes and social insurance contributions required by law to be withheld as a result of the grant or vesting of the Award Shares in whole or in part.

Withholding Taxes. You hereby authorize the Company (or any Affiliate) to withhold from payroll or other amounts payable to you any sums required to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the receipt or vesting of Restricted Shares, and the Company may defer the release to you of any and all unrestricted Shares until you have made arrangements acceptable to the Company for payment of all such withholding taxes in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of the Plan. If you wish to satisfy some or all of such withholding tax obligations by delivering Shares you already own or by having the Company retain a portion of the unrestricted Shares that would otherwise be released to you, you must notify the Company prior to vesting of the Restricted Shares.

Withholding. You shall pay to the Company or a Subsidiary, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by applicable law to be withheld with respect to the Restricted Shares awarded under this Award Notice. Your right to receive the Restricted Shares under this Award Notice is subject to, and conditioned on, your payment of such withholding amounts.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation due the Grantee from the Company any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by the law of any jurisdiction to be withheld in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the issuance of Shares or the vesting of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall retain Shares otherwise deliverable on the Settlement Date in an amount sufficient to satisfy the amount of tax required to be withheld provided that such amounts shall not exceed the statutorily required maximum withholding. The determination of the number of Shares retained for this purpose shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares. Tax withholding shall be calculated based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Settlement Date. In the event that the retention of Shares to satisfy withholding taxes would otherwise result in the delivery of a fractional Share, the Company will round up to the next whole Share and apply the value of the fractional Share to the recipient's tax obligations or, in the alternative, the Company may make such other arrangements to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share as may be permitted by law. No Shares shall be transferred to the Grantee hereunder until such time as all applicable withholding taxes have been satisfied. The Company will not retain Shares as described herein unless tax withholding applies under the laws of the local jurisdiction. To the extent that the amounts payable to the Grantee are insufficient for such withholding, it shall be a condition to the issuance of Shares or the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, that the Grantee shall pay such taxes or make provisions that are satisfactory to the Company for the payment thereof.

If the Grantee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award, the Award made pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the prompt payment to the Company of any applicable withholding obligations or withholding taxes by the Grantee (“Withholding Taxes”). Failure by the Grantee to pay such Withholding Taxes will render this Agreement and the Award granted hereunder null and void ab initio and the Restricted Shares granted hereunder will be immediately cancelled. If the Grantee does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award, upon the lapse of the Restricted Period with respect to any portion of Restricted Shares (or property distributed with respect thereto), the Company shall satisfy the required Withholding Taxes as set forth by Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the employer’s statutory withholding obligations with respect to Grantee and issue vested shares to the Grantee without restriction. The Company shall satisfy the required Withholding Taxes by taking such action as it deems appropriate, including (a) by withholding from the Shares included in the Award that number of whole shares necessary to satisfy such taxes as of the date the restrictions lapse with respect to such Shares based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares, (b) by receiving a cash payment from Grantee, or (c) by withholding from other wages otherwise payable to Grantee. No Shares shall be released to the Grantee unless and until such Withholding Taxes have been satisfied as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.
