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.

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.

Tax Withholding. Shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to this Award shall be subject to applicable tax withholdings. The Company shall withhold from the delivery of Common Stock pursuant hereto shares having a value equal to the minimum amount of federal, state and other governmental tax withholding requirements (or, if permitted by the Company, and requested by the Employee, at a rate that is higher than the minimum statutory withholding rate) related thereto (subject to rounding to a number of whole shares, in such manner as the Company may determine). Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. In lieu of such withholding, the Employee may elect, at or before such deadline as the Company may specify, and the Company require as a condition of delivery, that the Employee remit to the administrator an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements.

Withholding. Prior to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to this Award, the Company has the right and power to deduct or withhold, or require the Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable tax withholding requirements, which shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory tax withholding rate (or such other rate as will not result in a negative accounting impact). The Company may permit or require the Grantee to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with this Award by # having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or # delivering to the Company Shares already owned for a period of at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period as may be required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes), in each case having a value equal to the amount to be withheld. For these purposes, the value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be equal to the Fair Market Value as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

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.

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.

Withholding Taxes. The Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, shall have the right to retain and withhold the amount of taxes required by any government to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid with respect to the Award Shares. Unless the Participant or any successor in interest elects to satisfy the withholding requirement for any such taxes required to be withheld by the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, by check or direct debit, the Company shall withhold from any vesting Award Shares a number of Award Shares having a Fair Market Value not less than the amount required to be withheld to satisfy the withholding requirement and shall cancel any Award Shares so withheld. The value of any Award Shares so withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

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.

Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for purposes of applicable taxes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, the minimum amount of any such applicable taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares or property other than cash are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations; provided, that, with the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either # electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or other property, as applicable, or # by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. Such already owned and unrestricted shares of Common Stock shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and any fractional share amounts resulting therefrom shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Award.
