Withholding. All payments and benefits provided hereunder shall be subject to tax withholdings required by applicable law and other standard payroll deductions.

Withholding. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for federal, state or local income tax purposes, pay to Energen and Subsidiaries, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee, in its sole discretion, regarding payment of any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award together with any federal (including FICA and FUTA), state, or local employment taxes required to be withheld. The obligations of Energen under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements. Energen and, where applicable, its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes owed hereunder by a Participant from any payment of any kind otherwise due to said Participant. The Committee may permit Participants to satisfy their federal, and where applicable, state and local tax withholding obligations with respect to all Awards by the reduction, in an amount necessary to pay all said withholding tax obligations, of the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable or payable to said Participants in respect of an Award. During periods that the Committee permits such share withholding, Participants will be deemed to have elected share withholding; provided, however, that Energen may in its sole discretion permit a Participant to satisfy the withholding obligations of this Section 10 according to the direction of the Participant.

Withholding. Any payments made to Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced by any applicable withholding taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by law or contract.

WITHHOLDING. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Note such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable law, and to request and be provided any necessary tax forms and information, including IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 or IRS Form W-9), as applicable, from each beneficial owner of this Note. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Note as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts otherwise would have been paid.

Withholding. The Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any transfer due under this Agreement or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to the Participant, applicable withholding taxes with respect to any transfer under this Agreement or under the Plan and to take such action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's employment with the Company terminates prior to the transfer of all of the Shares under this Agreement, the payment of any applicable withholding taxes with respect to any further transfer of Shares under this Agreement or the Plan shall be made solely through the sale of Shares equal to the statutory minimum withholding liability.

Withholding. The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, and local or other income and employment tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award. The Company may decide to satisfy the withholding obligations through additional withholding on salary or wages. If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations. Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise. If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, a Participant may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.

Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any federal, state, local, or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or requirement of withholding shall arise.

Withholding Taxes. You hereby authorize the Company (or any Affiliate) to withhold from payroll or other amounts payable to you any sums required to satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the receipt or vesting of Restricted Shares, and the Company may defer the release to you of any and all unrestricted Shares until you have made arrangements acceptable to the Company for payment of all such withholding taxes in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of the Plan. If you wish to satisfy some or all of such withholding tax obligations by delivering Shares you already own or by having the Company retain a portion of the unrestricted Shares that would otherwise be released to you, you must notify the Company prior to vesting of the Restricted Shares.

Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require the Grantee to pay to the Company the amount of any tax that the Company is required to withhold with respect to the RSUs or Shares issued upon the vesting or payout of the RSUs or Shares, or in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice, a sufficient number of those Shares to cover the minimum amount required to be withheld. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all dividend equivalents paid with respect to the RSUs the amount of any taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such dividend equivalent payments.

Withholding Taxes. The Bank shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Bank, or to withhold from other amounts payable to the Participant, as compensation
