Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant Dividend Equivalent Rights under the Plan. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee as a component of an award of Restricted Stock Units or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Certificate. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of an Award of Restricted Stock Units shall provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award.
Subject to share availability under the Plan, any cash dividend paid with respect to the Common Stock for which the record date occurs on or after the Grant Date and the payment date occurs on or before the Date of Vesting will result in a credit to your Account of additional RSUs equal to # the dollar amount of the dividend per share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of RSUs credited to your Account as of the applicable record date, divided by # the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the applicable dividend payment date. The additional RSUs credited pursuant to this Section 9 will be subject to the same vesting schedule, forfeiture and other terms that apply to the original RSUs. RSUs that, at the relevant dividend payment date, previously have been settled or forfeited will not be eligible to receive dividend equivalents pursuant to this Section 9.
Dividend Equivalent Rights. Each restricted stock unit under this Article Five shall include a dividend equivalent right pursuant to which a book account shall be established for the non-employee Board member and credited from time to time with each dividend or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than shares of Common Stock) which is made per issued and outstanding share of Common Stock during the period the share of Common Stock underlying that restricted stock unit remains unissued. The amount credited to the book account with respect to such restricted stock unit shall be paid to the non-employee Board member concurrently with the issuance of the share of Common Stock underlying that unit, subject to the Corporation’s collection of any applicable withholding taxes.
Dividend Equivalent. If 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, 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 Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, for a period of four years from the date of this Agreement, the Corporation shall make to the Participant who holds an option under this Agreement on the declared record date a cash payment on the outstanding shares of Common Stock covered by this Option, payable on or about the tenth (10th) day of March, June, September, and December, in an amount equal to dividends declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and paid on Common Stock. If the employment of the Participant is terminated for any reason, including Retirement, Disability or death, prior to the declared record date for any dividend, the Corporation shall have no further obligation to make any payments commensurate with dividends on shares of Common Stock covered by this Option. Each dividend equivalent shall be equal to the amount of the regular quarterly dividend paid in accordance with the Corporation’s normal dividend payment practice as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Dividend equivalent payments shall not be made during a Participant’s leave of absence.
Dividend Equivalent Units. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Administrator will determine all terms and conditions of each award of Dividend Equivalent Units, including but not limited to whether: # such Award will be granted in tandem with another Award; # payment of the Award be made currently or credited to an account for the Participant which provides for the deferral of such amounts until a stated time; # the Award will be settled in cash or Shares; and # as a condition for the Participant to realize all or a portion of the benefit provided under the Award, one or more Performance Goals must be achieved during such period as the Administrator specifies; provided that any Dividend Equivalent Units granted in connection with an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other “stock right” within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be set forth in a written arrangement that is separate from such Award, and to the extent the payment of such dividend equivalents is considered deferred compensation, such written arrangement shall comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A; and provided further that no Dividend Equivalent Unit granted in tandem with another Award shall include vesting provisions more favorable to the Participant than the vesting provisions, if any, to which the tandem Award is subject; and provided further that any performance period applicable to an Award of Dividend Equivalent Units must relate to a period of one fiscal year of the Company except that, if the Award is made in the year this Plan becomes effective, at the time of commencement of employment with the Company or on the occasion of a promotion, then the Award may relate to a period shorter than one fiscal year.
