Withholding of Tax-Related Items Contract Clauses (23)

Withholding of Tax-Related Items. (a) Regardless of any action the Corporation and/or your Employer take with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, you acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by you is and remains your responsibility and that the Corporation and your Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Stock Units, including the grant of the Stock Units, the vesting of the Stock Units, t...he subsequent sale of any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Units and the receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalents and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Stock Units to reduce or eliminate your liability for Tax-Related Items. (b) Prior to the delivery of shares of Common Stock upon the vesting of your Stock Units, if your country of residence (and/or country of employment, if different) requires withholding of Tax-Related Items, the Corporation shall withhold a sufficient number of whole shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the vesting of the Stock Units that have an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Common Stock. The cash equivalent of the shares of Common Stock withheld will be used to settle the obligation to withhold the Tax-Related Items. In the event that withholding in shares of Common Stock is prohibited or problematic under applicable law or otherwise may trigger adverse consequences to the Corporation or your Employer, your Employer may withhold the minimum Tax-Related Items required to be withheld with respect to the shares of Common Stock in cash from your regular salary and/or wages or any other amounts payable to you. In the event the withholding requirements are not satisfied through the withholding of shares of Common Stock by the Corporation or through your regular salary and/or wages or other amounts payable to you by your Employer, no shares of Common Stock will be issued to you (or your estate) upon vesting of the Stock Units unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Corporation) have been made by you with respect to the payment of any Tax-Related Items that the Corporation or your Employer determines, in its sole discretion, must be withheld or collected with respect to such Stock Units. (c) By accepting these Stock Units, you expressly consent to the foregoing methods of withholding as provided for hereunder. All other Tax-Related Items related to the Stock Units and any shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement thereof are your sole responsibility. View More
