Withholding Rights contract clause examples

Withholding. If and when any Award Restricted Shares and any related Restricted Share Distributions become Vested, the minimum statutory tax withholding required to be made by the Company, or other withholding rate as determined by the Committee in its discretion if determined not to be detrimental to the Company or Participant, shall be paid by Holder to the Administrator, as applicable, in cash, by delivery of Shares, which Shares may be in whole or in part Vested Shares, based on the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date of delivery, or via payroll deduction. The Holder, in his sole discretion, may direct that the Company withhold at any rate which is in excess of the minimum withholding rate described in the preceding sentence, but not in excess of the highest incremental tax rate for Holder, and such additional directed withholding will be made in the same manner as described in the preceding sentence except that such additional directed withholding may only be paid in Shares which have been previously acquired and have been held by Holder for at least six (6) months prior to the date of delivery.

Withholding. If and when any Award RSUs and any related Dividend Equivalents become vested, the minimum statutory tax withholding required to be made by the Company, or other withholding rate as determined by the Committee in its discretion if determined not to be detrimental to the Company or Holder, shall be withheld by the Administrator from the cash settlement amount otherwise payable to the Holder upon vesting, via payroll deduction. Holder, in his or her sole discretion, may direct that the Company withhold at any rate which is in excess of the minimum withholding rate described in the preceding sentence, but not in excess of the maximum statutory rate in Holder’s relevant tax jurisdiction, pursuant to procedures established by the Company.

The Administrator shall deliver the Vested Shares and Restricted Share Distribution amount (the former reduced by the number of Vested Shares or cash, as applicable, and the latter reduced by payroll deduction delivered to the Administrator to pay required withholding under Section 4 above) to the Holder as soon as reasonably possible following Vesting.

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, provided that the Company or a subsidiary shall withhold only the minimum amount necessary to satisfy applicable statutory withholding requirements unless the Participant has elected to have an additional amount (up to the maximum allowed by law) withheld. At its discretion, the Committee may require the Participant to reimburse the Company for any such taxes required to be withheld by the Company and to withhold any distribution in whole or in part until the Company is so reimbursed. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, the Participant or any successor in interest is authorized to deliver shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined and cancel any such shares so delivered in order to satisfy the Company's withholding obligations. In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, the Participant or any successor in interest is also authorized to elect to have the Company retain and withhold shares of vesting Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined and cancel any such shares so withheld in order to satisfy the Company's withholding obligations. In the event the Participant does not deliver or elect to have the Company retain and withhold shares of Stock as described in this Section 8, the Company shall have the right to withhold from any other cash amounts due to or to become due from the Company or a subsidiary to the Participant an amount equal to such taxes required to be withheld by the Company to reimburse the Company for any such taxes.
