Tax Withholding. As a condition to the delivery of shares of Common Stock, Holder must, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If Holder fails to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount payable by the Company to Holder, including regular salary or bonus payments. Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: # a cash payment to the Company; # delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined below), determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments; # authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to Holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments; or # any combination of (a), (b) and (c). Shares of Common Stock may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the maximum statutory withholding rate in the applicable jurisdiction. The number of shares to be delivered to the Company or withheld from the Holder shall be determined by applying the maximum statutory withholding rate, if the Holder makes such an election. For purposes of this Award, “Fair Market Value” as of any date means the value determined by reference to the closing price of a share of Common Stock as finally reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the trading day immediately preceding such date. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy any Required Tax Payment will be disregarded and the remaining amount due must be paid in cash by Holder. No share of Common Stock will be issued or delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

Withholding Taxes. As a condition precedent to the delivery to Holder of any shares of Common Stock upon vesting of the Award, Holder shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If Holder shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to Holder or withhold shares of Common Stock. Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: # a cash payment to the Company; # authorizing the Company to withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered to Holder pursuant to the Award, a number of whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Award, equal to the Required Tax Payments; or # any combination of (i) and (ii). Shares to be delivered or withheld may be withheld up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to satisfy any such obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by Holder. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

Holder shall satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by the Company withholding whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered to Holder upon vesting of the Award having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date on which such withholding obligation arises (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect to satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: # a check or cash payment to the Company, # delivery to the Company (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of previously owned whole shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, # except as may be prohibited by applicable law, a cash payment by a broker whom the Company has selected for this purpose and to whom the Holder has authorized to sell any shares acquired upon the vesting of the Award to meet the Required Tax Payments, or # any combination of (i) and (ii). Shares to be delivered to the Company or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the minimum amount of the Required Tax Payments (or such greater withholding amount to the extent permitted by applicable withholding rules and accounting rules without resulting in variable accounting treatment). Any fraction of a share which would be required to satisfy any such obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the Holder. No share of Common Stock or certificate representing a share of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full.

The Holder may satisfy his or her obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments 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 shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments, # authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered, or an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to the Holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments or # any combination of (1), (2) and (3). If shares of Common Stock are used to pay all or part of such withholding tax obligation, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld, surrendered, or reduced shall be limited to the number of shares of Common Stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding, surrender, or reduction equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the greatest statutory withholding rates for federal, state, foreign, and/or local tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that may be utilized without creating adverse accounting treatment with respect to such Award, as determined by the Committee. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock 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. Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all Required Tax Payments, the ultimate liability for all Required Tax Payments is and remains the Holder’s responsibility, and the Company # makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Required Tax Payments in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any shares and # does not commit to structure the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate the Holder’s liability for Required Tax Payments.

Tax Withholding. The Corporation shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock 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 Corporation shall withhold whole shares of Common Stock 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 Corporation; # delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Corporation) to the Corporation of previously owned whole shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; # authorizing the Corporation to withhold whole shares of Common Stock 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, in either case equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation; # a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Corporation to whom the participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or sale or # any combination of (A), (B) and (C), in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the award. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate (or, if permitted by the Corporation, such other rate as will not cause adverse accounting consequences under the accounting rules then in effect, and is permitted under applicable IRS withholding rules). Any fraction of a share of Common Stock 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Required Tax Payments shall be satisfied pursuant to [clause (iv) above] unless the Committee determines otherwise. Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have a Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the maximum individual statutory tax rate in your jurisdiction; provided that the Company shall be permitted to limit the number of shares so withheld to a lesser number if necessary, as determined by the Company, to avoid adverse accounting consequences or for administrative convenience.
