Withholding Taxes.

(b) Regardless of any action the Employer takes with res...pect to any such Taxes, the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all such Taxes legally due by the Grantee is and remains the Grantee's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Employer (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Taxes in connection with any aspect of the Time-Based Units, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the Time-Based Units and the receipt of any Dividend Equivalents; and (ii) does not commit to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Time-Based Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee's liability for Taxes. Further, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Grantee acknowledges that the Employer (or the Grantee's former employer, as applicable) may be required to collect, withhold or account for Taxes in more than one jurisdiction.
