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.
