DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. An Award Agreement for a Restricted Stock Unit Award may specify that the Participant shall be entitled to the payment of dividends under the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, specifies otherwise at the time of the Award.

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. 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”). Dividend Equivalents 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 Restricted Stock Units with respect to which paid, in each case to the extent provided in the Award agreement.

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. 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.

During the Restriction Period, Participants awarded Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units hereunder may, in the Committee’s sole discretion and as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, be credited with regular cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents paid on those Shares or with respect to those Share equivalent units. Dividends or Dividend Equivalents will be automatically deferred until, and paid contingent upon, the vesting of such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

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.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. At the discretion of the Committee and as described in the Award Agreement, dividends issued on Shares of Restricted Stock may be paid immediately or withheld and deferred in the Participant’s account. In the event of a payment of dividends on Common Stock, to the extent permissible under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may credit Restricted Stock Units with Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise described in the Award Agreement or determined by the Committee, Dividend Equivalents may be withheld and deferred in the Participant’s account subject to a vesting schedule, or used to credit additional Restricted Stock Units that vest on the same schedule and subject to any other conditions as the underlying Restricted Stock Units. The Committee shall determine any terms and conditions on deferral of Dividend Equivalents.

Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with a cash amount or with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock, as determined by the Committee. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number), if any, to be credited shall be determined by dividing # the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by # the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. If so determined by the Committee and provided by the Award Agreement, such cash amount or additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.5, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award.
