(a) Except as otherwise provided above and notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of vested RSUs or PSUs shall be transferred to the brokerage account of Grantee. Grantee shall provide instructions to the Company and to the administrator of the brokerage account during the designated period(s) prior to the relevant Vesting Date or PSU Vesting Date, as applicable, regarding the retention or sale of all or a portion of the delivered shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the procedures established by the Company and the administrator of the brokerage account for the provision of such instructions. (b) Grantee is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with vested RSUs or PSUs, regardless of any action the Company takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSUs or PSUs. The Company does not make any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of an RSU or PSU or the subsequent delivery or sale of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the RSUs or PSUs. In all cases, however, the Company shall be entitled, at its sole option, to withhold (at the market price of such shares at the time of delivery) shares of Common Stock from Grantee in order to satisfy all or a portion of any tax withholding or similar obligations associated with the vesting or delivery of such shares of Common Stock, and such withholding by the Company shall be effected in priority to any contrary default provision or instructions provided by Grantee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Grantee be permitted to directly or indirectly elect to accelerate payment in violation of Section 409A of the Code with respect to the RSUs or PSUs to satisfy any FICA tax withholding and related income tax withholding obligations as a result of vesting prior to the applicable delivery date.
