Tax Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in your gross income for federal, state, local or foreign tax purposes with respect to this Award, you shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company 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 Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of this Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement, having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with any such procedures as the Committee may establish. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to you. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

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.

No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible 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 Company 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 Administrator, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Administrator may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations with Stock.

Withholding. The Company’s obligations hereunder in connection with any Award shall be subject to applicable foreign, federal, state and local withholding tax requirements. Foreign, federal, state and local withholding tax due under the terms of the Plan may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock (either through the surrender of already-owned shares of Common Stock that the Participant has held for the period required to avoid a charge to the Company’s reported earnings or the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise or payment of such Award) having a Fair Market Value equal to the required withholding and upon such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require that such taxes be paid in cash; and provided, further, any election by a Participant subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to pay his or her withholding tax in shares of Common Stock shall be subject to and must comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

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.

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.

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.

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 regarding the payment of, any income tax, social insurance contribution or other applicable taxes that are required to be withheld in respect of this Award, which arrangements include the delivery of cash or cash equivalents, shares of Stock (including previously owned shares of Stock (which is not subject to any pledge or other security interest), net settlement, a broker-assisted sale, or other cashless withholding or reduction of the amount of shares 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 shares of Stock, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be so withheld (or surrendered) shall be the number of shares of 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. Any fraction of a share of Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and the amount due shall be paid instead in cash to the Participant. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the receipt, vesting or settlement of this Award or

WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS. On or before the time you receive a distribution of Common Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Settlement Shares, payroll and any other amounts payable or issuable to you and/or otherwise agree to make adequate provision in cash for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company which arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes” ). The Company shall # withhold, from Common Shares otherwise issuable upon settlement of the Award, a portion of those Common Shares with an aggregate Market Price (i.e. closing last trade price on the Measurement Date) equal to the amount of the applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, that the number of such Common Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding tax rates (or such other amount as may be permitted by applicable law and accounting standards) , and # make a cash payment equal to such fair market value directly to the appropriate taxing authorities.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold or require separate payment of all Federal, state, local or other taxes or payments with respect to any Award or payment made under the Plan. Such amounts shall be withheld or paid prior to the delivery of any certificate representing Shares or any other Award subject to such withholding. Such a payment may be made by the delivery of cash (or other consideration acceptable to the Company, including, if acceptable, Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the withholding obligation) to the Company in an amount that equals or exceeds the withholding obligation of the Company. In the event of a transfer of an Award, the Participant who assigns the Award shall remain subject to withholding taxes or similar obligations upon exercise of the Award by the transferee to the extent required by the Code or other applicable laws. All determinations of withholding liability under this Section shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion and shall be binding upon the Participant.
