Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and&#47;or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may, from time to time, permit the Participant to make arrangements prior to the Vesting Date described herein to pay the applicable Tax-Related Items in a manner prescribed by the Administrator prior to the Vesting Date&#59; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, any such payment or estimate must be received by the Company prior to the Vesting Date.  Additionally, the Participant authorizes the Company and&#47;or the Employer to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon settlement of the Vested PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant&#8217;s behalf pursuant to this authorization).  Depending on the withholding method, the Company and&#47;or the Employer may withhold or account for the Tax-Related Items by considering minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates in the Participant&#8217;s jurisdiction(s), including maximum applicable rates.  In the event of over-withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash through the Employer&#8217;s normal payroll process (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares), or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the applicable tax authorities.  In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authorities or to the Company and&#47;or the Employer.  The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, the Employer, or any Affiliate the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items, is and remains the Participant&#8217;s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.  The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds from the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with his obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-indent:37pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">16.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%;text-decoration:underline">Choice of Law&#59; Venue</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:100%">.
