Dividend Equivalents. At the same time that the Restricted Stock Units are converted to shares of Stock and distributed to the Grantee as set forth in Paragraph 3 above, the Company shall pay to the Grantee a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of the dividends that would have been payable between the date hereof and the date of such distribution with respect to a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of shares then distributable (equitably adjusted by the Committee to take into account any stock splits, reverse splits, mergers, recapitalizations or similar events occurring during such period), plus the Accrued Dividend Equivalents. If or to the extent the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, dividend equivalent payments will not be made under this Paragraph 4.

Dividend Equivalents. To the extent expressly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, an award of Restricted Stock Units may include Dividend Equivalents, which shall be upon terms and conditions, and may be subject to restrictions, all as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Dividend Equivalent Units. Participant will be credited with additional units (“Dividend Equivalent Units”) equal to the amount of dividends that would have been paid on the Restricted Stock Units if Participant actually owned the same number of shares of Stock during the period between the Grant Date and the applicable Vesting Date. Dividend Equivalent Units shall vest at the same time that the Restricted Stock Units vest; provided, however, that in the event the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited then any accumulated Dividend Equivalent Units will also be forfeited.

Grantee shall be entitled to dividend equivalents with respect to the Restricted Units. Specifically, upon the payment of any dividend on the Shares occurring during the period preceding the settlement of the Restricted Units pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall accrue an amount in cash equal to the value of the dividends that Grantee otherwise would have received had Grantee actually been the shareholder of record of the number of Shares underlying the Restricted Units (to the extent that the Restricted Units have not previously been forfeited as of the date of record) ("Dividend Equivalents"). The Company shall pay the Dividend Equivalents with respect to a corresponding dividend to Grantee in cash and without interest as soon as reasonably practicable following the date that the dividend is declared, but in any case no later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the calendar year in which the dividend is declared. Therefore, provided that the Company continues its practice of declaring a dividend each quarter, Grantee will receive payment of Dividend Equivalents on a quarterly basis. Dividend Equivalents shall not constitute "Compensation" as defined in [Section 13.11] of the [[Company:Organization]] Retirement Savings Plan, and therefore shall not be eligible for deferral thereunder.

Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which they relate. To the extent permitted under applicable stock exchange listing standards, any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan with respect to Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall not be applied against the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan.

Section # Limitation of Rights; Dividend Equivalents. Participant shall not have any privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, any right to vote any shares of Common Stock underlying such Restricted Stock Units or to receive dividends or other distributions or payments of any kind in respect thereof or exercise any other right of a holder of any such securities, unless and until there is a date of settlement and issuance to Participant of the underlying shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Unit Award granted hereunder is hereby granted in tandem with corresponding dividend equivalents with respect to each share of Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Unit Award granted hereunder (each, a “Dividend Equivalent”), which Dividend Equivalent shall remain outstanding from the Grant Date until the earlier of the settlement or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit to which it corresponds. Participant shall be entitled to accrue payments equal to dividends declared, if any, on the Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Unit to which such Dividend Equivalent relates, payable in cash and subject to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit to which it relates, at the time the Common Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Unit is settled and delivered to Participant pursuant to Section 4; provided, however, if any dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock shall be deposited with the Company, shall be deemed to be part of the Dividend Equivalent, and shall be subject to the same vesting requirements, restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units to which they correspond. Dividend Equivalents shall not entitle Participant to any payments relating to dividends declared after the earlier to occur of the settlement or forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units underlying such Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Committee may permit Participants holding Restricted Stock Units to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights on outstanding Restricted Stock Units if dividends are paid to stockholders on shares of Common Stock. If so permitted by the Committee, such Dividend Equivalent Rights may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock (in the sole discretion of the Committee), and will be payable to the Participant upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights relate and, to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to payment in respect of the Dividend Equivalent Rights. If the Committee permits Dividend Equivalent Rights to be made on Restricted Stock Units, the terms and conditions for such Dividend Equivalent Rights will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to which they relate.

Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

Section # Voting Rights and Dividends. Prior to the date that Distributed Shares are delivered to Grantee, the Grantee shall be credited with cash dividend equivalents with respect to the Restricted Stock Units at the time of any payment of dividends to stockholders on shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan, and such dividend equivalents shall accumulate and be paid (in cash, without interest) to the Grantee when (and only if) the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate become vested and are settled in accordance with this Agreement. Dividend equivalents and any amounts that may become distributable in respect thereof shall be treated separately from the Restricted Stock Units and the rights arising in connection therewith for purposes of the designation of time and form of payments required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Grantee shall not have any voting rights with respect to the Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and the issuance of the Stock as set forth in Section 2. A holder of Distributed Shares shall have full dividend and voting rights as a holder of Stock.

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 either # paid with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit Award at the dividend payment date in cash or in Shares of unrestricted stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or # deferred with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit Award and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units, other Awards or other investment vehicles, as the Committee shall determine or permit the Participant to elect. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether any Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at the dividend payment date, deferred or deferred at the election of the Participant. 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).
