Dividend Equivalents. If dividend equivalents are included in this Award, as determined by the Administrator and indicated in the Notice, and a cash dividend is declared on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units are distributed to Participant pursuant to this Agreement, Participant shall be eligible to receive an amount in cash (a “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the dividend that Participant would have received had the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units been held by Participant as of the time at which such dividend was declared. Each Dividend Equivalent will be paid to Participant in cash as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than 30 days) after the applicable Vesting Date of the corresponding Restricted Stock Units. For clarity, no Dividend Equivalent will be paid with respect to any Restricted Stock Units that are forfeited.

Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator is authorized to grant to Participants dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared on Shares that are subject to any outstanding Restricted Stock Unit. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator or in the Award Agreement, for an Award of Restricted Stock Units that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, dividend equivalents shall be accrued only with respect to the target number of Restricted Stock Units, and additional dividend equivalents will not be earned for any Restricted Stock Units earned in excess of target. Dividend equivalents shall be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date the Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted and the date the Restricted Stock Unit Award is vested, paid or expired. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted to cash, Shares or additional Restricted Stock Units by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. Dividend equivalents accruing on unvested Restricted Stock Units shall, as provided in the Award Agreement, either # be reinvested in the form of additional Shares, which shall be subject to the same vesting provisions as provided for in the Restricted Stock Unit Award or # be held by the Company under the same vesting provisions in an account allocated to the Participant and accumulated, with or without interest in the Administrator’s discretion, until the date upon which the Restricted Stock Unit Award becomes vested. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividend equivalents or accrued interest, if any, may be paid before the underlying Restricted Stock Units vest, and to the extent an Award of Restricted Stock Units is terminated, cancelled or forfeited in whole or in part, due to failure to meet performance conditions or otherwise, any dividend equivalents and accrued interest, if any, credited with respect to such Award shall be terminated, cancelled or forfeited at the same time and to the same extent as such Award.

Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited (in cash or additional Restricted Stock Units) to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement.

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).

Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents. If, prior to the settlement date, the Company declares a cash or stock dividend on the shares of common stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Recipient shall be credited with dividend equivalents in an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid to the Recipient if one share of the Company’s common stock had been issued on the Date of Grant for each Restricted Stock Unit granted to the Recipient as set forth in this Agreement. Dividend equivalents shall be withheld by the Company for the Recipient and interest may be credited on the dividend equivalents withheld at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee. Dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable and shall be paid in cash on the same date that the Restricted Stock Units to which they are attributable are settled and paid in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents.

Dividend Equivalents. The Award certificate for Restricted Stock Units 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”). To the extent provided in the Award certificate, Dividend Equivalents may be credited to an account for the Participant and may be settled in cash and/or shares; provided, however, that they shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which they are credited. In no case shall Dividend Equivalents on Restricted Stock Units be paid before such units vest.
