23Construction
Prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and settlement and issuance of Shares, Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all withholding and payment obligations of Tax-Related Items of Participant, the Company and/or the Employer. In this regard, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, or withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent from Participant. If withholding is performed from proceeds from the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under applicable local law, the Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require Participant to satisfy his or her obligations for Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part (without limitation) by (i) delivery of cash or check to the Company or the Employer, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value (measured as of the delivery date) equal to the minimum statutory amounts required to be withheld for federal, state, and local tax purposes, (iii) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant through such means as the Company may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (iv) any other arrangement approved by the Company or the Committee (and in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy, if applicable; provided, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then the Committee (as constituted in accordance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) shall establish the method of withholding from the alternatives above, any share withholding procedure will be subject to the express prior approval of the Committee, and the Committee shall establish the method prior to the taxable or withholding event.   Further, to the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its discretion, the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any obligations for Tax-Related Items by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely in respect of the Tax-Related Items. In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the delivery to Participant of Common Stock or it is determined after the delivery of Common Stock to Participant that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by Participant, Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.
