Crediting of Dividend Equivalents. On each dividend payment date for the Corporation, the Corporation will credit the memorandum account of each Participant who holds Restricted Stock Units as of the declared record date with additional Restricted Stock Units and fractions thereof equivalent to the dividend paid on the Corporation’s Common Stock based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Each credited dividend equivalent will be equal to the amount of the regular quarterly dividend paid in accordance with the Corporation’s normal dividend payment practice as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Participant’s memorandum account will be credited with additional Restricted Stock Units, including fractions thereof, pursuant to this paragraph until all Restricted Stock Units that were credited to the Participant are distributed.

Payment of Dividend Equivalents. From and after the Date of Grant and until the time when the Shares become nonforfeitable, on the date that Gentex pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of shares of Common Stock generally, you will be entitled to payments of such dividends on the Shares.

From and after the Date of Grant and until the DSUs are paid to Grantee in accordance with Section 5 hereof, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) or other cash distribution to holders of shares of Common Stock generally, Grantee shall be entitled to a number of additional DSUs determined by dividing # the product of # the dollar amount of such cash dividend or other cash distribution paid per share of Common Stock on such date and # the total number of DSUs (including dividend equivalents credited thereon) previously credited to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement as of such date, to the extent such DSUs have not been paid to Grantee in accordance with Section 5 hereof, by # the Market Value per Share on such date. Such dividend equivalents (if any) shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including dividend equivalents and payment) as apply to the DSUs as to which the dividend equivalents were credited.

Right to Dividend Equivalents. Each recipient of Restricted Stock Units under this Plan shall have the right, during the period when such Restricted Stock Units are outstanding and prior to the termination, forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares. The Company shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment date and, unless a Director has elected to defer receipt of such dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 11, pay such accumulated amounts without interest in December of each fiscal year, but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related dividend is declared.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant to Participants Awards under which the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide that such Award shall convey the right to receive dividends or Dividend Equivalents subject to such Award with respect to any payments equivalent to dividends or interest declared during the period that such Award is outstanding, in which case, such dividends or Dividend Equivalent rights shall accumulate and shall be paid in cash or Shares on the settlement or vesting date of the Award, subject to the Participant’s earning of the Shares with respect to which such payments equivalent to dividends or interest are paid upon achievement or satisfaction of applicable conditions specified by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such dividends or Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, but shall not be awarded on unearned or unvested Awards. For the avoidance of doubt, dividends and Dividend Equivalents may not be paid until the vesting or settlement of an Award.

A Participant will have no voting rights or dividend rights with respect to the Performance Shares or any shares of Stock underlying the Performance Shares during the Performance Period.

However, at the same time that shares of Stock are issued under Section 5 or Section 6, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary determined in accordance with Section 10) will also receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company that were declared during the Performance Period on the number of shares of Stock issued to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary).

However, to the extent any health benefits provided pursuant to this paragraph do not qualify for exemption under Code Section 409A, ​ shall provide Executive with a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the number of months of coverage to which Executive is entitled times the then applicable premium for the relevant health plan in which Executive participated. Such lump sum amount will be paid during the second month following the month in which such coverage expires; and

Salary Continuation. Subject to Section 2.2 above, the term “employment” as used herein means active employment by the Company and salary continuation without active employment (other than a leave of absence approved by the Company that is covered by Section 2.2) will not, in and of itself, constitute “employment” for purposes hereof (in the case of salary continuation without active employment, the Grantee’s cessation of active employee status shall, subject to Section 2.2, be deemed to be a termination of “employment” for purposes hereof). Furthermore, salary continuation will not, in and of itself, constitute a leave of absence approved by the Company for purposes of the award.

Benefits Continuation. Subject to the Employee signing and not revoking a release of claims in a form prescribed by the Corporation and the Employee remaining in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and any other written agreements between the Corporation and the Employee, the Corporation will pay the employer portion of the Employee’s COBRA premiums for health and dental insurance coverage under the Corporation’s group health and dental insurance plans for the same period of time the Employee remains eligible to receive the Severance Payment installments under Section 6(b)(iii) (up to a maximum of twelve (12) months), provided the Employee timely elects COBRA coverage.
