Dividend Equivalents. Subject to Section 9.2, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be earned by a Holder of Restricted Stock Units based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date an Award of Restricted Stock Units is granted to a Holder and the maturity date of such Award.

Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) that the Participant will be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Shares having a record date prior to the date on which the Awards are settled or forfeited. The Dividend Equivalents, if any, will be credited to an Award in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion subject to the provisions of this Section 14; provided, however that Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same vesting provisions as the Awards to which they relate and while amounts may accrue while the Dividend Equivalent is unvested, the amounts payable with respect to Dividend Equivalents will not be paid before the Dividend Equivalent or the Award to which it relates vests. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in Shares or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 17, appropriate adjustments will be made to the Participant’s Award and the associated Dividend Equivalent so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the consideration issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property will be immediately subject to the same vesting and settlement conditions as are applicable to the Award. Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same Fiscal Year limits applicable to the underlying Award as set forth in Section 6(d).

Each Restricted Stock Unit shall accrue Dividend Equivalents with respect to dividends that would otherwise be paid on the Share underlying such Restricted Stock Unit during the period from the Date of Grant to the date such Share is delivered in accordance with Section 6. Any such Dividend Equivalent shall be deemed reinvested in additional Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units immediately upon the related dividend’s payment date, based on the then-current Fair Market Value (rounded down to the nearest whole number), and shall be subject to the Period of Restriction applicable to the Restricted Stock Unit on which such Dividend Equivalent is paid. Any such conversion of Dividend Equivalents shall be conclusively determined by the Committee. The Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units into which Dividend Equivalents are so converted shall be delivered in accordance with Section 6.

Dividend Equivalents. The Award Agreement in respect of an Other Stock-Based Award, or a separate agreement if required by Section 409A of the Code, may provide that the Participant shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred or contingent basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Award or other distributions from MPT OP or other Subsidiary, as applicable, prior to vesting (whether based on a period of time or based on attainment of specified performance conditions), as determined at the time of grant by the Committee in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or otherwise reinvested.

Dividend Equivalents. All Stock Equivalents credited to a Director’s account shall be further credited with an amount equivalent to each dividend declared on Common Shares. The amount of such dividend equivalents shall be divided by the price per share of the Common Shares on the ex-dividend date for such dividend (or other pricing date determined by the Committee for such dividend; and, if any such date is not a Trading Day, then on the first Trading Day immediately preceding such date) to determine the number of additional Stock Equivalents or fractions thereof (calculated to the third decimal place with conventional rounding or as otherwise approved by the Committee) to be credited to a Director’s account.

Each Director Stock Award Subaccount shall be credited, as applicable, with Dividend Equivalents. Any Dividend Equivalents shall be credited in the form of additional Director Deferred Shares and shall automatically and irrevocably be deemed to be part of the Participant’s Director Stock Award Subaccount until distributed to the Participant. The number of Directed Deferred Shares credited to the Participant’s Director Stock Award Subaccount for a particular Dividend Equivalent shall, in the case of a stock dividend, be equal to # the number of Director Deferred Shares credited to the Participant’s Director Stock Award Subaccount as of the payment date for such dividend in respect of each share of common stock of the Company, multiplied by # the number of additional or fractional shares of common stock of the Company actually paid as a dividend in respect of each share of common stock or, in the case of a cash dividend, shall be equal to # the number of Director Deferred Shares credited to the Participant’s Director Stock Award Subaccount, multiplied by # the fair market value of the dividend in respect of each share of common stock, divided by # the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Incentive Plan) of the common stock on the payment date for such dividend.

No Dividend Equivalents. No SAR shall provide for the payment or accrual of dividend equivalents.

No Dividend Equivalents. The Committee shall not provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents with respect to Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that Awards other than Options and SARs earn dividends or dividend equivalent rights (“dividend equivalents”); provided, however, that dividends and dividend equivalents (whether paid in cash or shares of Common Stock), if any, or unearned or unvested Awards shall not be paid (even if accrued) unless and until the underlying Award (or portion thereof) has vested and/or been earned. Any crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents may be subject to such additional restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may establish, including reinvestment in additional shares of Common Stock or share equivalents. Notwithstanding the other provisions herein, any dividends or dividend equivalents related to an Award shall be structured in a manner so as to avoid causing the Award and related dividends or dividend equivalents to be subject to Code [Section 409A] or shall otherwise be structured so that the Award and dividends or dividend equivalents are in compliance with Code [Section 409A].

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 RSUs are settled hereunder), on the payment date of any such cash dividend the number of RSUs held by Participant shall be increased by that number of RSUs which is equal to # the number of outstanding RSUs 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 RSUs that are credited to Participant under this Section 8 shall be treated in the same manner as the RSUs 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 RSUs or have any voting rights until and to the extent the RSUs vest and Shares are delivered in settlement of the RSUs.
