In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, the Director holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to the Director an amount

in cash equal to the cash dividends the Director would have received if the Director was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of RSUs held by the Director that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which such RSUs are settled in accordance with [Section 4]. For purposes of clarity, if the RSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by the Director pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the Director shall also forfeit the Dividend Equivalents, if any, accrued with respect to such forfeited RSUs. No interest will accrue on the Dividend Equivalents between the declaration and payment of the applicable dividends and the settlement of the Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding Shares on or after the Date of Grant and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall pay to you an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends you would have received if you were the holder of record as of such record date, of the number of Shares related to the portion of your RSUs that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment (“Dividend Equivalents”) to be made on or promptly following the date that the Company pays such dividend (however, in no event shall the Dividend Equivalents be paid later than 30 days following the date on which the Company pays such dividend to its shareholders generally).

Dividend Equivalents. With respect to any RSUs that have not been settled or been forfeited, provided that the Participant’s Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the dividend record date, the Participant shall have the right to receive distributions (the “Dividend Equivalents”) from the Company equal to any dividends or other distributions that would have been distributed to the Participant if each of the outstanding RSUs instead was an issued and outstanding Share owned by the Participant. The number of RSUs awarded for a cash dividend or non-cash dividend other than a stock dividend shall be determined by # multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs held by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement as of the dividend record date by the amount of the dividend per Share and # dividing the product so determined by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date. The number of RSUs awarded for a stock dividend shall be determined by multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs held by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement as of the dividend record date by the number of additional Shares actually paid as a dividend per Share. Any additional RSUs awarded pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be awarded effective the date the dividend was paid, and shall have the same status, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including without limitation the vesting and forfeiture provisions), under this Agreement as the RSUs to which they relate, and shall be distributed, reduced by any applicable withholding taxes, on the same Delivery Date as the RSUs to which they relate (or if later, as of the applicable dividend payment date). Each Dividend Equivalent shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of [Section 409A] (as defined in Section 9(i)).

Payment of Dividend Equivalents. With respect to each of the RSUs covered by this Agreement, Grantee shall be credited on the records of the Company with dividend equivalents in an amount equal to the amount per Common Share of any cash dividends declared by the Board on the outstanding Common Shares during the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending either on the date on which Grantee receives payment for the RSUs pursuant to Section 6 hereof or at the time when the RSUs are forfeited in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement. These dividend equivalents will accumulate without interest and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will be paid at the same time, to the same extent and in the same manner, in cash or Common Shares (as determined by the Committee) as the RSUs for which the dividend equivalents were credited.
