Distribution. The Participant’s vested Retirement Benefit shall be paid on the earlier of # the Participant’s Commencement Date or # the occurrence of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant’s Commencement Date is determined by reference to the Participant’s termination of employment, then the payment of the Participant’s Retirement Benefit shall be made on the date that is at least six months and one day after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment; notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies within such six month period, the Participant’s Retirement Benefits shall be paid to his surviving spouse or his estate, if there is no surviving spouse, as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant’s death, as provided in [Section 6.1] of the Plan.

Each payment received by the Facility Agent under the Finance Documents for another Party must, except as provided below, be made available by the Facility

Dividend Equivalents. If the Company pays cash dividends on its Shares while any Units subject to this Agreement are outstanding, then on the date this Award vests pursuant to Section 5 above, the Total Dividend Equivalent Amount will be credited to your performance stock unit account in cash. The “Total Dividend Equivalent Amount” will be determined by multiplying the number of underlying Units determined

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. Any cash or Common Stock dividends paid on shares of Common Stock underlying a Unit prior to the Settlement Date for such Unit shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on your behalf (any such credited amount, a “Dividend Equivalent”). Any cash Dividend Equivalents shall not be deemed to be reinvested in shares of Common Stock and will be held uninvested and without interest. An amount equal to any Dividend Equivalents with respect to cash dividends shall be paid to you in cash on the applicable Settlement Date on which the related Unit is settled. On the applicable Settlement Date on which the related Unit is settled you will be paid an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying Dividend Equivalents with respect to dividends of Common Stock as of the applicable Settlement Date. Prior to the payment thereof, any Dividend Equivalents will be encompassed within the term “Award” with respect to the relevant Units.

Dividend Equivalents. The Participant will not be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Performance RSUs.

Subject to Section 8.2(b) hereof, Dividend Equivalents may be granted by the Administrator, either alone or in tandem with another Award, based on dividends declared on the Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates during the period between the date the Dividend Equivalents are granted to a Participant and the date such Dividend Equivalents terminate or expire, as determined by the Administrator. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator. In addition, Dividend Equivalents with respect to Shares covered by a Performance Award shall only be paid out to the Participant at the same time or times and to the same extent that the vesting conditions, if any, are subsequently satisfied and the Performance Award vests with respect to such Shares.

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.

In the event of any dividend payable in cash with respect to the Company’s outstanding Shares, the Company will credit to the Director’s Account, as of the dividend payment date, a number of additional Units (the “Dividend Units”). The number of Dividend Units so credited as of any dividend payment date will be equal to # the total cash dividends the Director would have received on that dividend payment date if the Director’s outstanding Units as of the record date for such dividend payment (including any previously credited Dividend Units) had been actual Shares, divided by # the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date (with the quotient rounded to three decimal places). Once credited to the Director’s Account, Dividend Units will be considered Units for all purposes of this Agreement.
