At the discretion of the Committee determined at the time of the Award, subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) of the Plan, the Participant may be credited with Dividend Equivalents with respect to each dividend or other distribution for which a record date occurs during the Restriction Period and for the payment of such Dividend Equivalents in cash or the reinvestment of such Dividend Equivalents in additional Units. The Committee may provide that any dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents, whether payable in cash or shares of Stock, shall not be paid or distributed immediately, but shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions regarding vesting, restrictions and forfeiture that apply to the Restricted Stock Units to which such dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents relate.

9.3Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Units that the Participant shall be entitled to accrue Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to the particular shares subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, may, as determined by the Committee, accrue in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units or as an unfunded cash balance in a notional account. Accrued Dividend Equivalents, if any, will only be paid to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units to which such accrued Dividend Equivalents relate become vested or are otherwise to be settled.
Except as provided otherwise in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock awarded, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Stock and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions (in the form of cash or Dividend Equivalents). The Committee may provide that any dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents, whether payable in cash or shares of Stock, shall not be paid or distributed immediately, but shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions regarding vesting, restrictions and forfeiture that apply to the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents relate.
Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the date of grant, any Dividend Equivalents that are granted with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: # Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be paid on the date or dates the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which such Dividend Equivalents relates, is satisfied under Section 6(e)(i), with such Dividend Equivalents to be accumulated, without interest, by the Company (the Accumulated Dividend Equivalents), # all Accumulated Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be paid in cash, and # any Accumulated Dividend Equivalents with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be forfeited and all rights of the Participant to such Accumulated Dividend Equivalents shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the Company, unless the portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award to which such Accumulated Dividend Equivalents relate become vested pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit Award and this Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Award Agreement may specify whether any Dividend Equivalents shall be # paid at the dividend payment date, deferred or deferred at the election of the Participant, or # converted to additional Restricted Stock Units that shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock Unit Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited. If the Participant may elect to defer the Dividend Equivalents, such election shall be made within 30 days after the grant date of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, but in no event later than 12 months before the first date on which any portion of such Restricted Stock Unit Award vests (or at such other times prescribed by the Committee as shall not result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(e)(iii), Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with a Restricted Stock Unit Award that vests based on the achievement of performance goals shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock Unit Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited.
The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights during the period beginning on the date a Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share of Stock underlying the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award vests or the date on which it is terminated. For a Restricted Stock Unit Award based upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals, the Dividend Equivalent Rights paid will be based on the number of shares earned by the Participant. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Corporation as described in Section 3.2, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividend equivalents) to which the Participant may be entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be immediately subject to the terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Unit Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Rights were paid or adjustments were made.
Except as provided in this Section 6(b)(6) or Section 5(b)(4), the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock awarded, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Stock and the right to receive any dividends. The Committee may provide that any dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents, whether payable in cash or shares of Stock, shall not be paid or distributed immediately, but shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions regarding vesting, restrictions and forfeiture that apply to the shares of Restricted Stock to which such dividends, other distributions or Dividend Equivalents relate.
Right to Dividend Equivalents. Each recipient of Restricted Stock Units under this Plan shall have the right, during the period when such Restricted Stock Units are outstanding and prior to the termination, forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares. The Company shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment date and, unless a Director has elected to defer receipt of such dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 11, pay such accumulated amounts without interest in December of each fiscal year, but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related dividend is declared.
Section # Dividends Equivalents. The Committee may, at the Grant Date of Restricted Stock Units, provide for the payment of dividend equivalents to the Participant either in cash or in additional Shares on current, deferred or contingent basis; provided, however, that dividends or other distributions on Restricted Stock Units with restrictions that lapse as a result of the achievement of Performance Targets will be deferred until and paid contingent upon the achievement of the applicable Performance Targets.
Voting and Dividend Rights. A Participant shall have no voting or dividend rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder or the Shares corresponding to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to such Shares being delivered to the Participant.
