(c)           With respect to the withholding obligation for RSUs that become vested, subject to the Committee’s consent, full payment by retention by the Company of a portion of the shares deliverable in respect of such vested RSUs with an aggregated Fair Market Value (determined on the payment date) equal to the amount that must be withheld by the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for federal, state and/or local tax purposes; or

 

(d)           Subject to the Committee’s consent, a combination of payments provided for in the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c).

 

8











 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld with respect to the payment of any PSUs in order to satisfy the Company’s federal, state and/or local tax withholding obligations with respect to the payment of the PSUs shall be limited to the number of shares of Stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such withholding obligations based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for federal, state and/or local income and payroll tax purposes.
