long as Participant remains employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.
The foregoing Units will time vest on each date set forth below with respect to

Taxes. The Participant acknowledges that the Company has the right to require
Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy his or her

minimum withholding tax requirements. Participant further acknowledges that the
ultimate liability for all federal, state, local and foreign income taxes,

Participant’s participation in the Plan is and remains the Participant’s
responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company.

5.
Withholding. Participant authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or
their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the Participant’s tax

sole discretion of the Company, by any other appropriate method.

6.

or received, purchased or sold under the Plan from time to time and other
appropriate financial and other data (such as the date on which the Units were

participation in the Plan. Participant accepts that the Personal data will be
administered and processed by the Company or any other agent or person

Subsidiaries or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its
Subsidiaries to terminate such Participant’s employment at any time for any
reason or to continue such Participant’s present (or any other) rate of

statute or other applicable law.
