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 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. 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. Restricted Stock Units may provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents, provided that any dividend equivalents accrued by the Company with respect to the Restricted Stock Unit shall be paid to the Participant only if and when such Restricted Stock Unit becomes free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such Restricted Stock Unit and, if so payable, shall be paid at the time as provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. The Award agreement 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”); provided that Dividend Equivalents may accrue but shall not be paid prior to and only to the extent that, the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award vest.

Dividend Equivalents. If a right to dividend equivalents for Restricted Stock Units is included in the Award Agreement, then dividend equivalents in an amount equal to any cash dividends declared and paid with respect to the shares of Stock shall be paid to the Participant at the time specified in the Award Agreement. Dividend equivalents may, at the Committee’s discretion, be held in escrow (with or without the accrual of interest), or be reinvested into additional shares of Stock subject to the same vesting or performance conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Unit.

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. Subject to Section 10.2 hereof, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be earned by a Holder of Restricted Stock Units based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date an Award of Restricted Stock Units is granted to a Holder and the maturity date of such Award.

Dividend Equivalents. The Participant shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units when cash dividends are paid on the Stock. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be computed by dividing: # the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid for each share of Stock by the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant on the record date, by # the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the dividend payment date for such dividend, with fractions computed to four decimal places. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall vest and be settled in the same manner as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.

Dividend Equivalents. Subject to Section 9.2, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be earned by a Holder of Restricted Stock Units based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date an Award of Restricted Stock Units is granted to a Holder and the maturity date of such Award.

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 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.
