Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the RSUs vest in full, the Grantee shall be credited with an amount equal to all cash and stock dividends (whether ordinary or extraordinary) (“Dividend Equivalents”) that would have been paid to the Grantee if one share of Stock had been issued on the Grant Date for each RSU granted to the Grantee as set forth in this Agreement and that remains outstanding. In its discretion, the Company may reinvest any cash Dividend Equivalents into additional shares of Stock. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions, forfeiture and other conditions as the RSUs to which they are attributable and shall be paid, if at all, on the same date that the RSUs to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 2 hereof. Dividend Equivalents that are held for the benefit of the Grantee shall be distributed in cash or in the discretion of the Company, in shares of Stock based on the closing price of a share of Stock on the Vesting Date.

Dividend Equivalents will be reinvested in the form of additional RSUs determined by dividing the value of the Dividend Equivalent by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Company’s dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents will also accrue on the additional RSUs issued from Dividend Equivalents (and be reinvested into additional Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same conditions as the RSUs to which they are attributable, including but not limited to vesting, transferability, forfeiture, time and form of settlement as further described in this Agreement and the Plan.
