11. Delivery and Registration of Shares of Common Stock. TCF Financial’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock hereunder shall, if the Committee so requests, be conditioned upon the receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the Grantee or any other person to whom such shares of Common Stock are to be delivered, in such form as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any other federal, state, or local securities law or regulation. It may be provided that any representation requirement shall become inoperative upon a registration of such shares of Common Stock or other action eliminating the necessity of such representation under the Securities Act or other securities law or regulation. TCF Financial shall not be required to deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Program or the Plan prior to (i) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed, and (ii) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under state or federal law, rule, or regulation, as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

13. Grantee Service. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of TCF Financial or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate the Grantee’s service as a director, officer, or employee, or otherwise impose upon TCF Financial or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates any obligation to employ or accept the services of the Grantee.
14. Grantee Acceptance. The Grantee shall signify acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by signing in the space provided below and returning a signed copy hereof to TCF Financial.
15. Legal Compliance. This agreement shall be interpreted, administered and construed, and deemed amended, as the Committee in good faith determines necessary to comply with all current and future laws, rules and regulations applicable to TCF Financial, its subsidiaries, or affiliates.
