Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents will be earned with respect to any Shares issued pursuant to the Award. The amount of Dividend Equivalents earned shall be equal to the total dividends declared on a Share for stockholders of record between the Grant Date of this Award and the vesting date of the RSUs, multiplied by the number of Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs awarded in the Award Agreement. Any Dividend Equivalents earned shall be paid in cash when the Shares to which they relate are issued or as soon thereafter as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Shares are issued. No Dividend Equivalents will be issued for unvested or forfeited RSUs.

Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays regular cash dividends on Class B Common Stock, Dividend Equivalents shall accrue on the PSUs until the PSUs are settled. The Company will credit such Dividend Equivalents when it pays the corresponding dividend on the Class B Common Stock. Accrued Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same earning and forfeiture conditions as the underlying PSUs on which the Dividend Equivalents were accrued. Accrued Dividend Equivalents that have been credited to the Participant’s account shall be paid in cash (reduced by amounts necessary to satisfy the Tax Related Items) through payroll in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date the PSUs on which the Dividend Equivalents accrued are settled; provided, however, if PSUs are scheduled to be settled between a dividend record date and a dividend payment date, the Dividend Equivalents payable with respect to the PSUs on account of such dividend will be paid in a lump sum based on the dividend payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Dividend Equivalents be paid later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the PSUs are earned.

Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to an Eligible Person, entitling such Eligible Person to receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock, or other periodic payments. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing basis or in connection with another Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock or a Stock Award). The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. With respect to Dividend Equivalents granted in connection with another Award, absent a contrary provision in the Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the Award with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be paid unless and until such Award has vested and been earned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents shall only be paid in a manner that is either exempt from or in compliance with the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Rules.

The Company will pay the Grantee cash with respect to each outstanding RSU granted to the Grantee corresponding in amount and timing to the cash dividend that is paid by the Company on a Common Share of the Company.

Dividend Equivalents. Participant’s Unit Account referred to in Section 2 shall be credited with additional Units equivalent to the value of any dividends declared and paid on Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”) determined as if the Units credited to the Participant’s Unit Account were an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, with the number of additional Units to be credited determined by the number of whole shares, and a fraction thereof, of Common Stock having a value on the date such dividend is declared equal to such dividend amount.

Dividend Equivalents. In connection with your Award, you shall be entitled to receive all of the cash dividends for which the record date occurs during the period between the commencement of the Performance Period and the Vesting Date with respect to each Share underlying your vested PSUs (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be converted into their equivalent number of additional PSUs rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Vesting Date, provided, that the maximum number of additional PSUs you may receive upon such conversion shall be equal to 200% of your originally granted PSUs. Such additional PSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the PSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents relate, including, without limitation, the vesting, forfeiture, and payment form and timing provisions contained herein.

Continuation. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Omnibus Plan shall continue in full force and effect.

During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Restricted Units.

Stock Units. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited with respect to each Stock Unit credited to a Director on each dividend record date. Such Dividend Equivalents shall themselves be converted into Stock Units as of the dividend payment by dividing the amount of the Dividend Equivalents by the Value of the Company’s common stock as of the dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited on Stock Units attributable to a deferral of Director’s Fees and, except as otherwise provided by the terms of a Deferred Equity-Based Award, Stock Units attributable to Deferred Equity-Based Awards.

Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or in a combination of both. Dividend equivalents shall not be distributed prior to settlement of the Stock Unit to which the dividend equivalents pertain. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions (including without limitation, any forfeiture conditions) as the Stock Units to which they attach.
