Tax Withholding. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

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.

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.

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.
