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.

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.

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. 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. 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.

On each vesting date, and on or before the time you receive a distribution of the shares underlying your Restricted Stock Units, and at any other time as reasonably requested by the Company in accordance with applicable tax laws, you hereby authorize any required withholding from the Common Stock 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 or any Affiliate that arise in connection with your Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Additionally, the Company or any Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes obligation relating to your Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: # withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company; # causing you to tender a cash payment; # permitting or requiring you to enter into a “same day sale” commitment, if applicable, with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you irrevocably elect to sell a portion of the shares to be delivered in connection with your Restricted Stock Units to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Taxes directly to the Company and/or its Affiliates; or # withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with the Award with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued to pursuant to Section 6) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income; and provided, further, that to the extent necessary to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, if applicable, such share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

Withholding. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award. The Company may decide to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, a Participant may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

Taxation. The Holder understands that the Holder is solely responsible for all tax consequences to the Holder in connection with this Award. The Company shall withhold whole shares of Stock which would otherwise be delivered to the Holder, having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with 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 statutory minimum taxes required to be withheld; provided, however, at the Participant’s advance election the participant may request the Company withhold additional amounts up to the Participant’s maximum individual tax rate in each relevant jurisdiction applicable to the Participant at such time of withholding. The Holder represents that the Holder has consulted with any tax consultants the Holder deems advisable in connection with the Award and that the Holder is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

Tax Withholding. Participant authorizes the Company to deduct, to the extent required by statute or regulation, from payments of any kind due to Participant or anyone claiming through Participant, the amount of the federal, state, local or other taxes relating to any present or future Award under the Plan. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Common Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of the Participant’s tax obligations. Withholding of taxes in the form of shares of Common Stock from the profit attributable to the Award shall not occur at a rate that exceeds the maximum individual federal and state statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdiction.
