Dividend Equivalents. Promptly after each date on which the RSUs vest, the Company will pay to the Eligible Director an amount in cash (subject to any applicable taxes or charges) equal to the sum of the regular quarterly per share cash dividends, if any, paid by the Company to holders of record on or after the Grant Date (the “Dividend Equivalent”) multiplied by the number of RSUs then vesting in Shares. If, prior to the final vesting date of an Award hereunder (the “Final Vesting Date”), there is a record date for the Company’s regularly quarterly cash dividend that will be payable after the Final Vesting Date, then as soon as practicable after the later of the date the RSUs are settled in Shares or the date the declared dividend is paid to shareholders generally, the Company shall pay the Eligible Director the Dividend Equivalent on the RSUs that were held by such Eligible Director on such record date, calculated as provided above. Except for the payment of Dividend Equivalents, an Eligible Director shall have no right to receive any payment on account of any dividend or other distribution on the underlying Shares.

Dividend Equivalents. The Company will establish an amount for each RSU equal to the per Share quarterly dividend payments made to Shareholders during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that such RSU vests or is cancelled (“Dividend Equivalents”). The Company shall accumulate Dividend Equivalents and, upon vesting of the related RSU, will pay the Grantee a single lump sum cash amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents on the same date that a share is delivered with respect to such RSU, as described in Section 4 of this Grant Agreement. Any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to a RSU that is cancelled are immediately forfeited upon cancellation and will not be paid.

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. The Company will establish an amount for each RSU equal to the per share quarterly dividend payments made to the Company’s shareholders during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date that such RSU vests or is cancelled (“Dividend Equivalents”). The Company shall accumulate Dividend Equivalents and, upon vesting of the related RSU, will pay the Grantee a single lump sum cash amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents on the same date that a share of Common Stock is delivered with respect to such RSU, as described in Section 4 of this Grant Agreement. Any accumulated and unpaid Dividend Equivalents attributable to a RSU that is cancelled are immediately forfeited upon cancellation and will not be paid.

Dividend Equivalents. The Employee shall become entitled to receive from the Company on each applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date provided in Section 8) a cash payment equaling the same amount(s) that the holder of record of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested RSUs (if any) would have been entitled to receive as dividends on such Common Stock during the period commencing on the effective date hereof and ending on each applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date provided in Section 8) as provided under Section 3. Payments under this Section shall be net of any required withholding taxes.

Dividend Equivalents. Until such time as the RSUs vest in full, the Grantee shall be credited with an amount equal to all cash and stock dividends (whether ordinary or extraordinary) (“Dividend Equivalents”) that would have been paid to the Grantee if one share of Stock had been issued on the Grant Date for each RSU granted to the Grantee as set forth in this Agreement and that remains outstanding. In its discretion, the Company may reinvest any cash Dividend Equivalents into additional shares of Stock. Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions, forfeiture and other conditions as the RSUs to which they are attributable and shall be paid, if at all, on the same date that the RSUs to which they are attributable are settled in accordance with Section 2 hereof. Dividend Equivalents that are held for the benefit of the Grantee shall be distributed in cash or in the discretion of the Company, in shares of Stock based on the closing price of a share of Stock on the Vesting Date.

Dividend Equivalents. The Director shall have the right to receive additional RSUs with a value equal to the regular cash dividend paid on one Share for each RSU held pursuant to this Agreement prior to the conversion of RSUs and issuance of Shares pursuant to Section 7. The number of additional RSUs to be received as dividend equivalents for each RSU held shall be determined by dividing the cash dividend per share by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the dividend payment date; provided, however, that for purposes of avoiding the issuance of fractional RSUs, on each dividend payment date the additional RSUs issued as dividend equivalents shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. All such additional RSUs received as dividend equivalents shall be fully vested upon issuance, and shall be converted into Shares on the basis and at the time set forth in Section 7 hereof.
