The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing Shares issuable with respect to the RSUs unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including Participant's social security, Medicare and any other employment tax obligation) required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting of the RSUs, the distribution of the Shares issuable with respect thereto, or any other taxable event related to the Award (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”).

The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing shares of Common Stock to Participant or Participant’s legal representative or enter such share of Common Stock in book entry form unless and until Participant or Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the grant of the RSUs or the issuance of shares of Common Stock.

With respect to any withholding taxes arising in connection with the RSUs, in the event Participant fails to provide timely payment of all sums required pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right and option, but not the obligation, to treat such failure as an election by Participant to satisfy all or any portion of Participant’s required payment obligation pursuant to [Section 2.5(a)(ii)] or [Section 2.5(a)(iii)] above, or any combination of the foregoing as the Company may determine to be appropriate. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any certificate representing shares of Stock issuable with respect to the RSUs to Participant or his or her legal representative unless and until Participant or his or her legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state, local and foreign taxes applicable with respect to the taxable income of Participant resulting from the vesting or settlement of the RSUs or any other taxable event related to the RSUs.

Withholding. As a condition to the Company’s obligations with respect to the RSUs (including, without limitation, any obligation to deliver any Shares) hereunder, the Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to pay to the Company any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required to be withheld with respect to the delivery of Shares corresponding to such RSUs. If the Participant shall fail to make the tax payments as are required, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct from any payment of any kind (including the withholding of any Shares that otherwise would be delivered to Participant under this Agreement) otherwise due to the Participant any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such Shares.

Taxes and Withholding. Participant shall satisfy any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld related to the RSUs by paying the Company or its Affiliate in cash the amount of such tax obligations (including, without limitation, by the Company or its Affiliate withholding such amounts from the Participant’s wages, which the Participant hereby authorizes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, by specific prior approval, may permit Participant to satisfy such tax obligations by having the Company or its Affiliate deduct from the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant in settlement of the RSUs a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value not in excess of the amount of such tax obligations determined by the maximum applicable statutory withholding rates. The Company shall not be obligated to guarantee any particular tax result for Participant hereunder, and Participant shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on Participant with respect to the RSUs and any Shares issued in respect thereof. Participant acknowledges and understands that Participant should consult a tax advisor regarding Participant’s tax obligations related to the RSUs and the Shares issued in respect thereof.

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 RSUs. On each Vesting Date (or other date or time at which the Company is required to withhold taxes associated with the RSUs), the Company will retain from the RSU Shares otherwise issuable on such date a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation with respect to such taxable event. If the Company is unable to retain sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company. The Company shall not deliver any RSU Shares to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.

Tax Withholding. The vesting and settlement of the RSUs shall be subject to the Participant satisfying any applicable U.S. federal, state and local tax withholding obligations and non-U.S. tax withholding obligations. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold any cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property or from any compensation or other amounts owing to the Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of the RSUs, settlement of the RSUs or any payment or transfer of the RSUs, and to take any such other action as the Committee or the Company deem necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. In its sole discretion, the Company may permit the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations by withholding shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be deliverable to the Participant upon settlement of the RSUs with a Fair Market Value equal to such withholding liability.

Delivery of the Shares underlying the RSUs or payment in cash (if permitted pursuant to Section (B)(6)) upon settlement is subject to the Participant satisfying all applicable federal, state, provincial, local, domestic and foreign taxes and other statutory obligations (including, without limitation, the Participant’s FICA obligation, National Insurance Contributions or Canada Pension Plan contributions, as applicable), provided, that any Participant that is subject to tax regulation in the United Kingdom or Ireland shall also be subject to the provisions of [Exhibit A] attached hereto, if applicable. The Company shall have the power and the right to # deduct or withhold from all amounts payable to the Participant pursuant to the RSUs or otherwise, or # require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable taxes required by law. The Company may permit or require the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations by withholding Shares that would otherwise be received upon settlement of the RSUs.

Unless ​ otherwise determines, 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. [In addition, in the event Participant is an officer for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act when the RSUs are paid, then 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.]3 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 maximum 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 or social security contributions of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of the RSUs or otherwise in connection with the RSUs. On each Vesting Date (or other date or time at which the Company is required to withhold taxes or social security contributions associated with the RSUs), the Company will retain from the RSU Shares otherwise issuable on such date a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation with respect to such taxable event. If the Company is unable to retain sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company or an affiliate of the Company shall be entitled to immediate payment from the Participant of the amount of any tax required to be withheld by the Company. The Company shall not deliver any RSU Shares to the Participant until it is satisfied that all required withholdings have been made.
