(b) In order to provide the Company with the opportunity to claim the benefit of any income tax deduction which may be available to it in connection with this restricted stock award, and in order to comply with all applicable federal or state tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to insure that, if necessary, all applicable federal or state income and social security taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of Executive, are withheld or collected from Executive.

Otherwise, the Company shall be entitled to withhold taxes due in such manner as the Company determines in its discretion. 8.
