Withholding of Taxes. When the Shares are issued in settlement for vested Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee will recognize immediate U.S. taxable income if the Grantee is a U.S. taxpayer. If the Grantee is a non-U.S. taxpayer, the Grantee will be subject to applicable taxes in his or her jurisdiction. The Company (or the employing Related Entity) will withhold a portion of the Shares or cash otherwise issuable in settlement for vested Restricted Stock Units that have an aggregate market value sufficient to pay the minimum federal, state and local income, employment and any other applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company (or the employing Related Entity) with respect to the Shares. Withholding will occur at the time that the Company (or the employing Related Entity) determines is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, which may be before the Restricted Stock Units are due to be settled. No fractional Shares will be withheld or issued pursuant to the grant of Restricted Stock Units and the issuance of Shares thereunder. By accepting this Award, the Grantee expressly consents to the withholding of Shares as provided for in this paragraph 15. All income and other taxes and withholding related to the Restricted Stock Unit award and any Shares delivered in payment thereof are the sole responsibility of the Grantee.16. Rights as Stockholder. Except as provided pursuant to the Dividend Equivalent Rights provided in paragraph 30, neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under or through the Grantee shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Grantee (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account) after the Vesting Date. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Grantee will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.
