On each dividend payment date, a Director's DSU Account will be credited with regular quarterly dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs determined by multiplying the number of DSUs in the Director's DSU Account on the related dividend record date by any per share cash dividends declared by the Company on its common stock and dividing the product by the closing market price of the Company's common stock as reported on the Consolidated Tape of the New York Stock Exchange on such dividend payment date.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Any dividends or distributions paid with respect to Shares that are subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares to which such dividends or distributions relate, except for regular quarterly cash dividends on Shares subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award that is subject only to service-based vesting conditions. In its discretion, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement for any Full Value Award that the Participant will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents on the Shares subject to the Award based on dividends actually declared on outstanding Shares, provided that any dividend equivalents on a Full Value Award that is subject to service-based or performance-based vesting conditions shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as, and any payment thereof shall occur to the same extent as, the Shares underlying such Full Value Award. The terms of any dividend equivalents will be as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, including the time and form of payment and whether such dividend equivalents will be credited with interest or deemed to be reinvested in additional units or Share equivalents. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in Award Agreements for restrictions on dividends and dividend equivalents in addition to those specified in this [Section 5(h)].

No Dividend or Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalents. Grantee shall have no rights of ownership in the Restricted Share Units or in the Shares related thereto and shall have no right to dividends and no right to vote the Restricted Share Units or the Shares related thereto until the date on which the Shares underlying the Restricted Share Units are delivered to Grantee. However, at each time from the Date of Grant through the applicable Vesting Date that the Company pays a cash dividend to shareholders, the Company shall credit Grantee’s account hereunder with a dividend equivalent amount equal to the amount of such cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of outstanding unvested Restricted Share Units on the dividend payment date. Any such dividend equivalent amount shall be accumulated and paid in cash (without interest) only at the time(s) and to the extent that the underlying Restricted Share Units become vested, subject to and conditioned upon Grantee’s Continuous Service until such time.

Dividend Equivalents on Performance Shares. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a cash payment ("Dividend Equivalent") in an amount equal to the dividend payable on one Share shall be made to a Participant for each Performance Share held by such Participant on the record date for the dividend. Such Dividend Equivalent, if any, will be payable at the time the relevant AT&T common stock dividend is payable or at such other time as determined by the Committee, and may be modified or terminated by the Committee at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided by the Committee, Dividend Equivalents paid with respect to Performance Shares granted to an Officer Level Employee shall only be paid on the number of Performance Shares actually distributed and such payment shall be made when the related Performance Shares are distributed.

Continuation. Except as expressly amended and modified pursuant to the terms of this First Amendment, the Agreement continues in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this First Amendment and the terms of the Agreement, the terms of this First Amendment shall govern. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

Continuation. The Company intends to continue this ERA indefinitely, but nevertheless assumes no contractual obligation beyond the promise to pay the benefits described in this ERA.

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.

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(c)(iii) (up to a maximum of eighteen (18) months), provided the Employee timely elects COBRA coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will discontinue COBRA premium payments if, and at such time as, the Employee # is eligible to be covered under the health and/or dental insurance policy of a new employer, # ceases to participate, for whatever reason, in the Corporation’s group insurance plans, or # ceases to be eligible to receive the Severance Payment installments under Section 6(b)(iii).
