Tax Consequences . Grantee understands that [he or she] (and not Apple) shall be responsible for [his or her] own tax
liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee understands that [he or she] will recognize
ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Shares received as of each payout date for such Shares, and Grantee is
obligated to pay applicable income tax withholding on the amount of ordinary income recognized upon receipt of such Shares. Grantee shall
pay such income tax withholding amounts to Apple within 24 hours of the payout date for such Shares. In addition, Grantee understands that
Apple will be required to withhold applicable employment taxes on each Release Date from compensation due Grantee. To the extent that the
compensation due Grantee is insufficient to cover the applicable employment taxes on each Release Date, Grantee agrees to pay to Apple
within 24 hours of such Release Date, the amount due for employment taxes.
[Note: For grants permitting net share settlement: Grantee may satisfy such tax withholding obligations, in whole or in part by:
(a) paying cash, or (b) electing to have Apple withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a fair market value equal to the minimum amount
required to be withheld. Unless Grantee notifies Apple otherwise within a reasonable time prior to the applicable payout date, Grantee will be
deemed to have elected to satisfy the withholding obligations through Apple retaining otherwise deliverable Shares as provided in clause (b).]
