(ii) “Employment” means employment with the Company or a Subsidiary other than a Subsidiary that is a licensed professional employer organization.
3. Forfeiture of Award. Except as provided in another written agreement between the Grantee and the Company, if the Grantee’s Employment terminates other than by reason of death or Disability, all unvested Restricted Stock as of the Employment termination date shall be forfeited. No additional shares shall vest after the Grantee’s Employment has terminated for any reason other than death or Disability. The Company has sole discretionary authority to determine when a Grantee’s Employment terminates for all purposes under this Agreement and the Plan.

7. Delivery of Shares. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such sale or delivery would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which the Common Stock is listed or quoted. In no event shall the Company be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the delivery of shares of Common Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.

The Company’s obligation to deliver the shares of Restricted Stock to Grantee upon the vesting of such shares shall be subject to the payment in full of the requisite par value per share of the shares of Restricted Stock prior to such issuance (collectively, the “Par Value”). The Grantee approves and authorizes the Company to deduct the Par Value of the shares of Restricted Stock from the Grantee’s payroll from the Company or its affiliates. If the Company is unable to or otherwise does not make such payroll deduction; and has not received from Grantee cash, a check or other available funds for the full amount of the Par Value by 5:00 P.M. 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”). 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 and shall be limited to the withholding amount calculated using the minimum statutory withholding rates.
12. Stock Certificates. Certificates representing the Common Stock issued pursuant to the Award will bear all legends required by law and necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of the Plan and this Award. The Company may place a “stop transfer” order against shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award until all restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan or this Agreement and in the legends referred to in this Section 12 have been complied with.
13. Successors and Assigns.

14. Right to Employment or Service. The granting of this Award shall not impose upon the Company any obligation to maintain any Participant as an Employee and shall not diminish the power of the Company to terminate any Participant's Employment at any time. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate a Grantee’s Employment at any time, with or without cause.
15. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any of the other terms, provisions, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement, each of which shall be binding and enforceable.
