the removal of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock that have vested under this Agreement shall be provided to Xxxxx as soon as practicable following the date on which the restrictions on such shares of Restricted Stock have lapsed.

In the event shares of Vimeo Common Stock are deducted to cover tax withholdings, the number of shares of Vimeo Common Stock withheld shall generally have a value based on the Vimeo FMV equal to the aggregate amount of Vimeo's withholding obligation on the same date. If the event that any such deduction and/or withholding is prohibited by law, Xxxxx shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the vesting of the Award, pay to Vimeo, or make arrangements satisfactory to Vimeo regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.
