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)).
The Company hereby grants to Participant an Award of Dividend Equivalents with respect to each RSU granted pursuant to the Grant Notice for all ordinary cash dividends which are paid to all or substantially all holders of the outstanding shares of Stock between the Grant Date and the date when the applicable RSU is distributed or paid to Participant or is forfeited or expires. The Dividend Equivalents for each RSU shall be equal to the amount of cash which is paid as a dividend on one share of Stock. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to Participant and be deemed to be reinvested in additional RSUs as of the date of payment of any such dividend based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such date. Each additional RSU which results from such deemed reinvestment of Dividend Equivalents granted hereunder shall be subject to the same vesting, distribution or payment, adjustment and other provisions which apply to the underlying RSU to which such additional RSU relates.
Dividend Equivalents. Each RSU granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem with a corresponding Dividend Equivalent, which Dividend Equivalent shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date until the earlier of the payment or forfeiture of the RSU to which it corresponds (such earlier date, the “Dividend Equivalent Forfeiture Date”). Pursuant to each outstanding Dividend Equivalent, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments equal to dividends paid, if any, on the Shares underlying the RSU to which such Dividend Equivalent relates during the period beginning on the Grant Date set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and ending on the applicable Dividend Equivalent Forfeiture Date. Dividend Equivalents shall not entitle the Participant to any payments relating to dividends for which the record date occurs after the settlement of the RSU underlying such Dividend Equivalent or, if applicable, the forfeiture of such RSU. Dividend Equivalents and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the RSUs and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Code.
Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the RSUs include a right to the payment of dividend equivalents equal to the value of any dividends paid on the Company’s common stock for which the dividend record date occurs between the Grant Date and the date the RSUs are settled or forfeited (“Dividend Equivalents”), provided that Dividend Equivalents accrued on RSUs that are forfeited prior to vesting shall also be forfeited. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent cash value of any such dividends paid on the number of Shares underlying the RSUs that are outstanding during such period. Dividend Equivalents will be paid (without interest) in cash within seven (7) days following the later of # the date on which Participant becomes vested in the RSUs for which the Dividend Equivalents have accrued or # the end of any calendar quarter during which dividends are paid on outstanding shares of Company common stock.
Dividend Equivalents; Voting Rights. In the event that a cash dividend is paid with respect to shares of Stock prior to the Vesting Date (or such earlier date that the RSUs are settled hereunder), on the payment date of any such cash dividend the number of RSUs held by Participant shall be increased by that number of RSUs which is equal to # the number of outstanding RSUs then held by Participant on the record date of the cash dividend multiplied by # the amount of the cash dividend divided by # the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date the dividend is paid. Any RSUs that are credited to Participant under this Section 8 shall be treated in the same manner as the RSUs granted under Section 1 of this Agreement and shall only vest and be settled to the extent they vest in accordance with this Agreement and otherwise satisfy the requirements under this Agreement. Upon vesting, any fractional Shares shall be rounded up such that only whole Shares are issued. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon Participant any equity interest or ownership in the Company prior to the date on which the Company delivers Shares and Participant shall not be entitled to any dividends (or, except as provided above, dividend equivalency rights) in respect of the RSUs or have any voting rights until and to the extent the RSUs vest and Shares are delivered in settlement of the RSUs.
With respect to all RSUs, including unvested RSUs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents paid in cash on the applicable Dividend payment date to shareholders in respect of all Dividends declared (or for which a record date is set) by the Company prior to settlement of the RSUs as if such RSUs had been outstanding Shares.
With respect to all RSUs, including unvested RSUs, the Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents paid in cash on the applicable Dividend payment date to shareholders in respect of all Dividends declared (or for which a record date is set) by the Company prior to settlement of the RSUs as if such RSUs had been outstanding Shares.
The Company hereby grants to Participant, with respect to each RSU, a Dividend Equivalent for ordinary cash dividends paid to substantially all holders of outstanding Shares with a record date after the Grant Date and prior to the date the applicable RSU is settled, forfeited or otherwise expires. Each Dividend Equivalent entitles Participant to receive the equivalent value of any such ordinary cash dividends paid on a single Share. The Company will establish a separate Dividend Equivalent bookkeeping account (a “Dividend Equivalent Account”) for each Dividend Equivalent and credit the Dividend Equivalent Account (without interest) on the applicable dividend payment date with the amount of any such cash paid.
Dividend Equivalents. The Award agreement for RSUs may provide Participants with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to an account for the Participant, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the RSUs with respect to which paid, in each case to the extent provided in the Award agreement. No interest will be paid on Dividend Equivalents.
Dividend Equivalents. In the event of any issuance of a cash dividend on the shares of Common Stock (a “Dividend”), the Participant shall be credited, as of the payment date for such Dividend, with an additional number of RSUs (each, an “Additional RSU”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing # the product of # the number of RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement and outstanding as of the record date for such Dividend multiplied by # the amount of the Dividend per share, by # the Fair Market Value per share on the payment date for such Dividend, such quotient to be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Once credited, each Additional RSU shall be treated as an RSU granted hereunder and shall be subject to all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.
