Dividend Equivalents. Each Director may elect to defer all or a portion of any dividend equivalents paid on Restricted Stock Units.

Dividend Equivalents. For record dates that occur before payment is made with Section 6 hereof (or, if the Performance Units are deferred as described in Section 6(c), before the date on which payment would have been made in accordance with Section 6 hereof but for such deferral), Participant shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each Performance Unit that is converted to cash, Dividend Equivalent amounts if dividends are declared by the Board of Directors on the Company’s Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Change in Control as described under Section 2(d), Dividend Equivalent amounts shall only accrue for record dates that occur before the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control and Qualified CIC Termination described under Section 2(e), Dividend Equivalent amounts shall only accrue for record dates that occur before the Qualified CIC Termination. The Dividend Equivalent amounts shall be an amount of cash per share of Common Stock that is

Dividend Equivalents. Notwithstanding Section 6 hereof, for record dates that occur before the Company issues a Participant any Shares for a vested RSU (or, if the RSUs are deferred as described in Section 6, before the date on which a Share would have been issued in accordance with Section 6 hereof but for such deferral), the Participant shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalent amounts (“Dividend Equivalents”) if dividends are declared by the Board of Directors on the Company’s Common Stock. The Dividend Equivalents shall be an amount of cash per RSU equal to the dividends per share paid to common stockholders of the Company. The Dividend Equivalents shall be accrued (without interest and earnings) rather than paid when a dividend is paid on a share of the Company’s Common Stock. The Dividend

Dividend Equivalents. On any date that a number of earned Units has been determined to have vested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a total dividend equivalent amount will be determined by multiplying the number of Units determined to have vested on such date by the per share amount of each cash dividend paid on the Company’s Stock with a record date and payment date occurring between the Grant Date and the applicable vesting date, and adding those products together. The total dividend equivalent amount, net of any amount required to satisfy withholding tax obligations as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement, will be paid to you (or your permitted transferee) in cash at the time the vested Units are settled as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Paragraph 5, with respect to dividends for which a record date occurs during the Restriction Period applicable to any Units, Participant shall be credited with a Dividend Equivalent with respect to each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, and with respect to any Dividend Equivalent Unit (defined below) resulting from prior reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents as provided in this Paragraph. All Dividend Equivalents so credited will be deemed to be reinvested in Restricted Stock Units on the date that the applicable dividend or distribution is made to the Company’s shareholders, in the number of Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing the aggregate value of the Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date (rounded to the nearest thousandth of a whole Unit or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Company); provided, however, that if Dividend Equivalents cannot be reinvested in Units due to the operation of [Section 3(a)] of the Plan, such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to Participant as a cash value, which cash value shall be held by the Company (without interest) subject to this Agreement. Any Units resulting from the deemed reinvestment of dividends in accordance with this Paragraph 5 are referred to herein as “Dividend Equivalent Units.” Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall vest or be forfeited (as applicable) at the same time, as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate; provided, however, that if the Restriction Period for any Restricted Stock Unit ends after the record date for, but before the payment date of, a dividend, then any Dividend Equivalents related to such dividend and to Units for which the Restriction Period is ending will be paid in cash or in Stock, in the sole discretion of the Company, as soon as practicable following the payment date for such dividend.

Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to any Eligible Person entitling the Eligible Person to receive cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property equal in value to the dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Shares, or other periodic payments, in connection with another Award, other than Option or Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with an Award that vests based on the achievement of performance goals shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited.

Dividend Equivalents. During the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date the applicable Restricted Share Rights vest and are distributed, or are forfeited, whichever occurs first, if the Company pays a dividend on the Common Stock, you will automatically receive, as of the payment date for such dividend, dividend equivalents in the form of additional Restricted Share Rights based on the amount or number of shares that would have been paid on the Restricted Share Rights had they been issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date and, if a cash dividend, the closing price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the dividend payment date. You will also automatically receive dividend equivalents with respect to such additional Restricted Share Rights, to be granted in the same manner. Restricted Share Rights granted with respect to dividend equivalents will be subject to the same vesting schedule and other terms and conditions as the underlying Restricted Share Rights, including the Company’s right of recoupment or forfeiture, and will be distributed in shares of Common Stock when, and if, the underlying Restricted Share Rights are settled and distributed.

The Company will pay the Grantee cash with respect to each outstanding RSU granted to the Grantee corresponding in amount and timing to the cash dividend that is paid by the Company on a Common Share of the Company.

Dividend Equivalents. The Award agreement for Restricted Stock Units may provide Participants with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and shall be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which paid, in each case to the extent provided in the Award agreement.

Dividend Equivalents. The Grantee shall be entitled to payment for Dividend Equivalents (if any) with respect to any Vested RSRs. For purposes of this Agreement, “Dividend Equivalents” means the aggregate amount of dividends paid by the Company on a number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of Vested RSRs during the period from the Grant date until the date the Vested RSRs are paid (without interest or other adjustments to reflect the time value of money). Dividend Equivalents (if any) will be paid at the same time as the Vested RSRs to which they relate are paid. Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash.
