Whenever any cash or other payment is to be made hereunder or with respect to the Restricted Stock Units, the Company or any Subsidiary shall have the power to withhold an amount (in cash, Restricted Stock Units or in Company Common Stock issuable upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units or from other amounts paid to the Participant in cash (whether under the Plan or otherwise)) sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements relating to such transaction; provided , however , that in the event that the Company withholds shares issuable to the Participant (or any portion thereof) to satisfy any applicable withholding taxes, the Company shall only withhold a number of whole shares having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of vesting, not in excess of the minimum of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid liability award accounting). The Company may require the recipient of shares of Company Common Stock to remit to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy the amount of taxes required to be withheld as a condition to the issuance of shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may, in its discretion, require the Participant, or permit the Participant to elect, subject to such conditions as the Committee shall impose, to meet such obligations by having the Company withhold or sell the least number of whole shares of Company Common Stock having a Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy all or part of the amount required to be withheld. The Company or such Subsidiary may defer the settlement of Restricted Stock Units until such withholding or other tax requirements are satisfied and if the Participant has not satisfied such withholding or other tax requirements as of the last day of the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited. The Participant shall be responsible for all withholding taxes and other tax consequences of this award of Restricted Stock Units.
