Dividend Equivalents. With respect to the number of Performance Shares set forth in Section 2, the Participant shall be credited with Dividend Equivalents with respect to each such Performance Share equal to the amount per Share of any ordinary cash dividends declared by the Board with record dates during the period beginning on the first day of the Performance Cycle and ending on the earliest to occur of: # the last day of the Performance Cycle; # the date of a Change of Control and # the date such Performance Share terminates or is forfeited under Section 3 or Section 5. The Corporation shall pay in cash to the Participant an amount equal to the product of # sum of the aggregate amount of such Dividend Equivalents credited to the Participant, multiplied by # the Percentage of Performance Shares Earned, such amount to be paid as and when the related Performance Shares are paid in accordance with Section 3 or Section 6, as applicable. Any Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited as and when the related Performance Shares are forfeited in accordance with Section 3, Section 5 or Section 6.

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

Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, the Director holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to the Director an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends the Director would have received if the Director was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of RSUs held by the Director that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which such RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 4. For purposes of clarity, if the RSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by the Director pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

Dividend Equivalents. Dividends, if any (whether in cash or Shares), will not be credited to Employee.

Dividend Equivalents. Each Phantom Share subject to this Award is hereby granted in tandem with a corresponding dividend equivalent (“DER”), which DER shall remain outstanding from the Date of Grant until the earlier of the settlement or forfeiture of the Phantom Share to which the DER corresponds. Each vested DER entitles the Participant to receive payments, subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, in an amount equal to any dividends paid by the Company in respect of the share of Common Stock underlying the Phantom Share to which such DER relates. The Company shall establish, with respect to each Phantom Share, a separate DER bookkeeping account for such Phantom Share (a “DER Account”), which shall be credited (without interest) on the applicable dividend payment dates with an amount equal to any dividends paid during the period that such Phantom Share remains outstanding with respect to the share of Common Stock underlying the Phantom Share to which such DER relates. Upon the vesting of a Phantom Share, the DER (and the DER Account) with respect to such vested Phantom Share shall also become vested. Similarly, upon the forfeiture of a Phantom Share, the DER (and the DER Account) with respect to such forfeited Phantom Share shall also be forfeited. DERs shall not entitled the Participant to any payments relating to dividends paid after the earlier to occur of the applicable Phantom Share settlement date or the forfeiture of the Phantom Share underlying such DER. Payments with respect to vested DERs shall be made as soon as practicable, and within 60 days, after the date that such DER vests.

Dividend Equivalents. As long as Participant holds Performance Share Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall credit to Participant, on each date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Common Stock generally, an additional number of Performance Share Units (“Additional Performance Share Units”) equal to the number of Performance Share Units and Additional Performance Share Units previously credited to Participant under this Agreement multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock by the Company on such date, divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date. Any fractional Performance Share Unit resulting from such calculation shall be included in the Additional Performance Share Units. A report showing the number of Additional Performance Share Units so credited shall be sent to Participant periodically, as determined by the Company. The Additional Performance Share Units so credited shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Performance Share Units with respect to which such Additional Performance Share Units were credited, and the Additional Performance Share Units shall be forfeited in the event that the Performance Share Units with respect to which such additional Performance Share Units were credited are forfeited. Further, for avoidance of doubt, Participant will be eligible to receive Additional Performance Share Units with respect to unvested Performance Share Units only if Participant remains in continuous employment with the Company or an Affiliate through the applicable dividend record date as declared by the Board. Additional Performance Share Units are subject to income and payroll tax withholding by the Company.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that Stock Awards shall earn dividends or

The Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Shares underlying the RSUs and no right to vote the Shares underlying the RSUs until the date on which the Shares underlying the RSUs are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to Section 5 above.

Dividend Equivalents; Voting Rights. In the event that a cash dividend is paid with respect to shares of Stock prior to the Vesting Date (or such earlier date that the PBRSUs are settled hereunder), on the payment date of any such cash dividend the number of PBRSUs held by Participant shall be increased by that number of PBRSUs which is equal to # the number of outstanding PBRSUs then held by Participant on the record date of the cash dividend multiplied by # the amount of the cash dividend divided by # the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date the dividend is paid. Any PBRSUs that are credited to Participant under this Section 9 shall be treated in the same manner as the PBRSUs granted under Section 1 of this Agreement and shall only vest and be settled to the extent they vest in accordance with this Agreement and otherwise satisfy the requirements under this Agreement. Upon vesting, any fractional Shares shall be rounded up such that only whole Shares are issued. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this Award shall not be interpreted to bestow upon Participant any equity interest or ownership in the Company prior to the date on which the Company delivers Shares and Participant shall not be entitled to any dividends (or, except as provided above, dividend equivalency rights) in respect of the PBRSUs or have any voting rights until and to the extent the PBRSUs vest and Shares are delivered in settlement of the PBRSUs. For avoidance of doubt, Participant shall only be entitled to dividend equivalent payments to the extent the underlying PBRSUs are earned and vested.

The Committee may provide that Stock Awards shall earn dividends or dividend equivalents. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid currently or may be credited to an account maintained on the books of the Company. Any payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents will be subject to such terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions as the Committee may establish, from time to time, including, without limitation, reinvestment in additional shares of Common Stock or common share equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not provide for the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award with a Performance Condition; for such Awards, the Committee may only provide for the accrual of dividends or dividend equivalents that will not be payable to a Participant unless and until, and only
