Each of the Company and any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, or any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include the authority to withhold or receive Shares or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of the federal, state, foreign and/or local tax withholding obligations, including payroll tax withholding, with respect to a Participant in amounts up to the maximum statutory rate in the Participant’s relevant tax jurisdiction, as determined in the discretion of the Committee and pursuant to procedures established by the Company.
