Dividend Equivalent Rights. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or SARs. The Committee may at the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share, or Other Stock-Based Award provide that any dividends declared on common stock or dividend equivalents be either:

Dividend Equivalent. If Trustmark declares and pays a dividend in respect of its Stock and, on the record date for such dividend, you hold Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement, Trustmark shall grant you an unvested right to receive an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent”) equal to the cash dividends you would have received if you were the holder of record, as of such record date, of the number of Shares related to the Restricted Stock Units that you hold as of such record date. Your Dividend Equivalent will vest if, when and to the extent that the related Restricted Stock Units vest and will be paid to you within the Settlement Period (as defined below). No interest will be paid with respect to Dividend Equivalents. If any portion of the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, your Dividend Equivalent shall also be forfeited in the same proportion.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Committee may permit Participants holding Restricted Stock Units to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights on outstanding Restricted Stock Units if dividends are paid to stockholders on shares of Common Stock. If so permitted by the Committee, such Dividend Equivalent Rights may be paid in cash or shares of Common Stock (in the sole discretion of the Committee), and will be payable to the Participant upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights relate and, to the extent such Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to payment in respect of the Dividend Equivalent Rights. If the Committee permits Dividend Equivalent Rights to be made on Restricted Stock Units, the terms and conditions for such Dividend Equivalent Rights will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights, either in tandem with an Award or as a separate Award, to Eligible Individuals in accordance with the Plan. The terms and conditions applicable to each Dividend Equivalent Right shall be specified in the Award Agreement evidencing the Award. Amounts payable in respect of Dividend Equivalent Rights may be payable currently or may be deferred until the lapsing of restrictions on such Dividend Equivalent Rights or until the vesting, exercise, payment, settlement or other lapse of restrictions on the Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights relate. In the event that the amount payable in respect of Dividend Equivalent Rights is to be deferred, the Committee shall determine whether such amount is to be held in cash or reinvested in Shares or deemed (notionally) to be reinvested in Shares. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or Shares or a combination thereof, in a single installment or multiple installments, as determined by the Committee.

You are not entitled to receive cash dividends on the Stock Units, but will receive Dividend Equivalent Payments in an amount equal to the value of the cash dividends that would have been paid (based on the record date for such dividends) on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Stock Units which are earned (as determined by the Committee) based on the achievement of the applicable Performance Criteria as if such shares had been outstanding between the Grant Date and the payment date of such shares of Common Stock. Dividend Equivalent Payments shall not be adjusted for interest, earnings or assumed reinvestment. Except as provided in the immediately following paragraph, Dividend Equivalent Payments shall be paid to you at the time the earned shares of Common Stock to which those Dividend Equivalent Payments relate are delivered (or would be delivered in the absence of a deferral election made by you as described in Section 6(vii)) under Section 6(i) – (vi), as applicable. Distribution of Dividend Equivalent Payments shall be subject to the Company’s collection of all tax withholding obligations applicable to such distribution. No Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be paid or distributed on Stock Units (or shares underlying the Stock Units) that are forfeited or that otherwise do not vest and are not issued or issuable under the Award.

Dividend Equivalent Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Incentive Agreement, as well as any procedures established by the Committee, the Committee may determine to pay dividend equivalent rights with

Dividend Equivalent Units. On the date that the Company pays a cash dividend to holders of Stock generally, if any, the Participant shall be credited with a number of additional whole Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing # the product of # the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Stock on such date, and # the number of RSUs which have not been settled as of such date, by # the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Any resulting fractional Dividend Equivalent Unit shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Any such additional Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall be settled or forfeited in the same manner and at the same time, as the RSUs with respect to which they have been credited.

Dividend Equivalent Accounts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Incentive Agreement, as well as any procedures established by the Committee, the Committee may determine to pay dividend equivalent rights with respect to Other Stock-Based Awards , in which case, unless determined by the Committee to be paid currently, the Company shall establish an account for the participant and reflect in that account any securities, cash or other property comprising any dividend or property distribution with respect to the share of Common Stock underlying each Other Stock-Based Award. The participant shall have no rights to the amounts or other property credited to such account until the applicable Other Stock-Based Award vests. Notwithstanding the above, if the vesting of the Other Stock-Based Award is based upon the attainment of performance goals, any and all dividend equivalent rights with respect to the Other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to the attainment of the performance goals applicable to the underlying Other Stock-Based Award.

Dividend Equivalent Rights. Dividends shall not be paid with respect to Restricted Share Units. Dividend equivalent rights may be granted with respect to the Shares subject to Restricted Share Units to the extent permitted by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement; provided that any dividend equivalent rights granted shall be subject to the same vesting terms as the related Restricted Share Units.
