Withholding Rights. Patriot, the Bank, the Surviving Corporation (and, if applicable, [[Companies:Organization]]) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of the Merger Consideration Per Share and the Per Option Consideration) such amount as such party is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Patriot, the Bank, the Surviving Corporation or [[Companies:Organization]] and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

Withholding. Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following:

Withholding. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts relating to taxes as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, the Company may, in its sole discretion, accept other provisions for payment of taxes and withholdings as required by law, provided it is satisfied that all requirements of law affecting its responsibilities to withhold have been satisfied.

Withholding. As to any payment of Shares or cash credited or paid pursuant to this agreement, the Committee may require that the Executive or his or her personal representative, as the case may be, agree to any procedure necessary to enable the Company to make adequate income tax withholdings.

Withholding. The Purchaser and any Purchaser Affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payments under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law, from any consideration paid to the Seller, each applicable Seller Affiliate and any other recipient pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the Purchaser determines that any Taxes are required to be deducted and withheld, then the Purchaser shall provide notice to the Seller of such determination and allow the Seller the opportunity to provide any Tax forms, reports or certificates as may be permitted by applicable Law to reduce or eliminate such withholding or deduction. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in good faith to address and mitigate any proposed deduction or withholding. Any amount withheld pursuant to this [Section 1.8] shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliate pay any consideration pursuant to this Agreement to Seller and such consideration is in respect of any Purchased Assets sold by a Seller Affiliate, Seller shall act as the withholding agent for U.S. federal income Tax purposes with respect to such consideration.

Withholding. Payments received by Bank from Co-Borrowers under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto). Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Co-Borrowers to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, Co-Borrowers hereby covenant and agree that the amount due from Co-Borrowers with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Co-Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Co-Borrowers will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Co-Borrowers have made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Co-Borrowers need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Co-Borrowers. The agreements and obligations of Co-Borrowers contained in this Section 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

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.

Withholding. No Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of this option unless and until the Participant pays to the Company, or makes provision satisfactory to the Company for payment of, any federal, state or local withholding taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of this option.

Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

Withholding. In order to comply with all applicable federal or state employment and income tax laws and regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or collected from Participant.
