ELIMINATION OF DOUBLE TAXATION Double taxation shall be eliminated as follows:
(1) In the case of Austria:
a) Where a resident of Austria derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, may be taxed in the United Kingdom, Austria shall allow as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the tax on income or capital gains paid in the United Kingdom; Such deduction shall not, however, exceed that part of the income tax, as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable, as the case may be, to the income or the capital gains which may be taxed in the United Kingdom.
b) Where in accordance with any provision of the Convention income derived by a resident of Austria is exempt from tax in that State, Austria may nevertheless, in calculating the amount of tax on the remaining income of such resident, take into account the exempted income.
(2) Subject to the provisions of the law of the United Kingdom regarding the allowance as a credit against United Kingdom tax of tax payable in a territory outside the United Kingdom or, as the case may be, regarding the exemption from United Kingdom tax of a dividend arising in a territory outside the United Kingdom or of the profits of a permanent establishment situated in a territory outside the United Kingdom (which shall not affect the general principle hereof):
a) Austrian tax payable under the laws of Austria and in accordance with this Convention, whether directly or by deduction, on profits, income or chargeable gains from sources within Austria (excluding in the case of a dividend tax payable in respect of the profits out of which the dividend is paid) shall be allowed as a credit against any United Kingdom tax computed by reference to the same profits, income or chargeable gains by reference to which the Austrian tax is computed;
b) a dividend which is paid by a company which is a resident of Austria to a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom shall be exempted from United Kingdom tax, when the exemption is applicable and the conditions for exemption under the law of the United Kingdom are met;
c) the profits of a permanent establishment in Austria of a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom shall be exempted from United Kingdom tax when the exemption is applicable and the conditions for exemption under the law of the United Kingdom are met;
d) in the case of a dividend not exempted from tax under subparagraph b) above which is paid by a company which is a resident of Austria to a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom and which controls directly or indirectly at least 10 per cent of the voting power in the company paying the dividend, the credit mentioned in subparagraph a) above shall also take into account the Austrian tax payable by the company in respect of its profits out of which such dividend is paid.
(3) For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, profits, income and gains owned by a resident of a Contracting State which may be taxed in the other Contracting State in accordance with this Convention shall be deemed to arise from sources in that other State.
Applicable Taxes In the event the Corporation determines that it is required to withhold state or federal income taxes, Social Security taxes, or any other applicable taxes as a result of the payment of the Shares, the Corporation will satisfy such withholding requirements by withholding of Shares otherwise payable upon the settlement of the Award, which Shares will have a Fair Market Value (determined as of the date when taxes would otherwise be withheld in cash) not in excess of the legally required minimum amount of tax withholding.
