The Committee may provide that such amounts and Dividend Equivalents (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents shall in all events 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 and shall not be paid until and unless the underlying Award vests.

Dividend Equivalents. To the extent provided in an Award Agreement, and subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, an award of RSUs may provide the Grantee with the right to receive dividend equivalent payments with respect to common stock subject to such award, which payments may be settled in cash or common stock, as determined by the Committee. Any such settlements and any crediting of dividend equivalents may, at the time of grant of the RSU, be made subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture risks, vesting and conditions of the RSUs and subject to such other conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish at the time of grant of the RSU, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in common stock equivalents, provided that all such conditions, restrictions and contingencies shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Dividend Equivalents. Grantee shall be credited with cash per PRSU equal to the amount of each cash dividend paid by the Company (if any) to holders of Common Shares generally with a record date occurring on or after the Date of Grant and prior to the time when the PRSUs are paid in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Any amounts credited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be subject to the same applicable terms and conditions (including earning, Vesting, payment, and forfeitability) as apply to the PRSUs based on which the dividend equivalents were credited, and such amounts shall be paid in either cash or Common Shares, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at the same time as the PRSUs to which they relate. If such amounts are paid in Common Shares, the number of shares so paid shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and shall be determined by dividing such credited amounts by the Market Value per Share on the payment date.

Dividend Equivalents. If the Company declares and pays an ordinary cash dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, Employee holds either # unvested Performance Units under this Award or # vested Performance Units under this Award which have not been settled in accordance with this Agreement, then a dividend equivalent equal to the per share amount of such dividend shall be credited on each of such Performance Units underlying this Award and outstanding on the record date for such dividend. Such dividend equivalents credited on Performance Units shall be paid in cash without interest on the settlement date of such Performance Units in accordance with the timing and other provisions described in Sections 5 and 6 hereof. Any such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Performance Units on which the dividend equivalents were credited. Dividends and distributions payable on Stock other than in an ordinary cash dividend will be addressed in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator is authorized to grant to Participants dividend equivalents based on the dividends declared on Shares that are subject to any outstanding Restricted Stock Unit. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator or in the Award Agreement, for an Award of Restricted Stock Units that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, dividend equivalents shall be accrued only with respect to the target number of Restricted Stock Units, and additional dividend equivalents will not be earned for any Restricted Stock Units earned in excess of target. Dividend equivalents shall be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date the Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted and the date the Restricted Stock Unit Award is vested, paid or expired. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted to cash, Shares or additional Restricted Stock Units by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. Dividend equivalents accruing on unvested Restricted Stock Units shall, as provided in the Award Agreement, either # be reinvested in the form of additional Shares, which shall be subject to the same vesting provisions as provided for in the Restricted Stock Unit Award or # be held by the Company under the same vesting provisions in an account allocated to the Participant and accumulated, with or without interest in the Administrator’s discretion, until the date upon which the Restricted Stock Unit Award becomes vested. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividend equivalents or accrued interest, if any, may be paid before the underlying Restricted Stock Units vest, and to the extent an Award of Restricted Stock Units is terminated, cancelled or forfeited in whole or in part, due to failure to meet performance conditions or otherwise, any dividend equivalents and accrued interest, if any, credited with respect to such Award shall be terminated, cancelled or forfeited at the same time and to the same extent as such Award.

Dividend Equivalents. If and when dividends or other distributions are paid with respect to the common stock while the Stock Units are outstanding, the dollar amount or fair market value of such dividends or distributions with respect to the number of shares of common stock then underlying the Stock Units shall be accumulated in an account for Grantee and distributed to Grantee within 30 days after the Vesting Date for the Stock Units with respect to which they relate. If Grantee forfeits any Stock Units under this Agreement, Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive any accumulated dividend equivalents with respect to such forfeited Stock Units.

Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares and pays a dividend in respect of its outstanding shares of Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, the Director holds RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement that have not been settled, the Company shall record the amount of such dividend in a bookkeeping account and pay to the Director an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends the Director would have received if the Director was the holder of record, as of such record date, of a number of shares of Stock equal to the number of RSUs held by the Director that have not been settled as of such record date, such payment to be made on the date on which such RSUs are settled in accordance with Section 4. For purposes of clarity, if the RSUs (or any portion thereof) are forfeited by the Director pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

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”); provided that Dividend Equivalents may accrue but shall not be paid prior to and only to the extent that, the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award vest.
