Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the date of grant, and except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 7(h) hereof, any Dividend Equivalents that are granted with respect to any Deferred Award shall be either # paid with respect to such Deferred 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 Deferred Award and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Deferred Award, 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 Deferred Award, but in no event later than 12 months before the first date on which any portion of such Deferred 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. 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. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at date of grant, any Dividend Equivalents that are granted with respect to any Award of Stock Units shall be either # paid with respect to such Stock Units 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 Stock Units and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Stock Units, other Awards or other investment vehicles, as the Plan Administrator shall determine or permit the Participant to elect.

The Committee is authorized to grant Awards of Dividend Equivalents alone or in conjunction with other Awards (other than Options and SARs), on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with Code [Section 409A]. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in ARTICLE VIII and ARTICLE IX, Dividend Equivalents shall be paid immediately when accrued and, in no event, later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Dividend Equivalents accrue. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or in ARTICLE VIII and ARTICLE IX, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Service prior to the date such Dividend Equivalents accrue, the Participant’s right to such Dividend Equivalents shall be immediately forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of the Plan to the contrary, Dividend Equivalents credited to a Participant with respect to any unvested portion of an Award shall be subject to the same vesting or forfeiture restrictions as the Shares or units underlying the Award to which such Dividend Equivalents relate. For the avoidance of doubt, any such Dividend Equivalents will be deferred until, and shall only be paid contingent upon, the vesting of or lapse of forfeiture restrictions on the Award. Any Dividend Equivalents will be maintained as an account only on the books and records of the Company, and no assets or funds of the Company shall be set aside, placed in trust, removed from the claims of the Company’s general creditors, or otherwise made available until such amounts are actually payable as provided hereunder.
