Prior to the delivery of any shares of Company Common Stock in settlement of Performance Shares, the Company shall have the power and right to deduct or withhold or require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes of any kind which the Company in its sole discretion deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with any applicable law, rule, or regulation. Participants will be deemed to have elected to pay the withholding taxes owed by allowing the Company to withhold shares on the Vesting Date (and delivering to the Participant the net shares of the Company’s common stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount sufficient to satisfy the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations. The Participant is responsible for paying Participant’s taxes that result from the granting or vesting of the Performance Shares. Taxes include, but are not limited to, Federal taxes, social insurance or FICA taxes, state and local taxes, and any other tax, if applicable.
