9. Regardless of any action the Company and/or my actual employer if the Company is not my employer (collectively, the “Company”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social security, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items relating to my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan and legally applicable to me (“Tax-Related Items”), I acknowledge that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains my responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company. I further acknowledge that the Company (1) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the stock purchase right grant, including the grant, purchase of shares, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such purchase and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the stock purchase rights to reduce or eliminate my liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if I have become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction during the Offering Period, I acknowledge that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the purchase of shares, I shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, I authorize the Company, or its agents, at its discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (a) withholding from Compensation paid in cash to me by the Company; or (b) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock that I acquire, either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on my behalf pursuant to this authorization); or (c) withholding in shares of Common Stock to be issued to me.
To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, I am deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock purchased, notwithstanding that some shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan.
Finally, I shall pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold or account for as a result of my participation in the Stock Purchase Plan or my purchase of shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the purchase and refuse to issue and/or deliver the shares of Common Stock if I fail to comply with my obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.
