Central Standard Time within thirty (30) days after the Award Date; or Grantee has not made by that date such other provision for the payment of the Par Value in form satisfactory to the Committee or Board in its sole discretion, the Company shall pay the Par Value of the shares of Restricted Stock on behalf of Grantee and will report the amount of such payment as income to Grantee for the taxable period of Grantee during which the shares of Restricted Stock are granted. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that he shall be responsible for the payment of any and all federal, state and local taxes on such income if the Company pays the Par Value on behalf of Grantee.
 
11.           Withholding.  The Company’s obligation to deliver shares of Restricted Stock to the Grantee upon the vesting of such shares shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements (the “Required Withholding”).  If applicable, the Company shall withhold from the Restricted Stock that would otherwise have been delivered to the Grantee the number of shares necessary to satisfy the Grantee’s Required Withholding, and deliver the remaining whole shares of Restricted Stock to the Grantee, unless the Grantee has made arrangements with the Company for the Grantee to deliver to the Company cash, a check or other available funds for the full amount of the Required Withholding by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the date the shares of Restricted Stock become vested.  The amount of the Required Withholding and the number of shares of Restricted Stock to be withheld by the Company, if applicable, to satisfy the Grantee’s Required Withholding, shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the shares of vested Restricted Stock on the date prior to the applicable date of vesting.
