If any Award RSUs are forfeited, any such related Dividend Equivalents also shall be forfeited.

Dividend Equivalents. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in the Plan, the Company hereby awards to the Grantee a right to receive in respect of each RSU held by the Grantee on a dividend record date occurring after the Grant Date and prior to the Vest Date, the equivalent value of any ordinary cash dividends that are paid on a share of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalent”). Dividend Equivalents will be reinvested in the form of additional RSUs determined by dividing the value of the Dividend Equivalent by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Company’s dividend payment date. Dividend Equivalents will also accrue on the additional RSUs issued from Dividend Equivalents (and be reinvested into additional Dividend Equivalents). Dividend Equivalents are subject to the same conditions as the RSUs to which they are attributable, including but not limited to vesting, transferability, forfeiture, time and form of settlement as further described in this Agreement and the Plan.

The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights during the period beginning on the date a Restricted Stock Unit Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share of Stock underlying the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award vests or the date on which it is terminated. For a Restricted Stock Unit Award based upon the satisfaction of Performance Goals, the Dividend Equivalent Rights paid will be based on the number of shares earned by the Participant. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Corporation as described in Section 3.2, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividend equivalents) to which the Participant may be entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be immediately subject to the terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Unit Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalent Rights were paid or adjustments were made.

Right to Dividend Equivalents. Each recipient of Restricted Stock Units under this Plan shall have the right, during the period when such Restricted Stock Units are outstanding and prior to the termination, forfeiture or payment or settlement thereof, to receive dividend equivalents equal to the amount or value of any cash or other distributions or dividends payable on the same number of Shares. The Company shall accumulate dividend equivalents on each dividend payment date and, unless a Director has elected to defer receipt of such dividend equivalents pursuant to Section 11, pay such accumulated amounts without interest in December of each fiscal year, but no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the related dividend is declared.

The amount of the Restricted Share Distribution shall be shares, cash, or other property equal to, in the case of # cash or shares, the product of # the per-share amount of the Dividend paid and # the number of Award Restricted Stock held on the record date related to the Dividend being paid on the underlying Stock represented by such Award Restricted Stock; or # other property, the amount determined by the Administrator. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company will retain custody of all Restricted Share Distributions (which are subject to the same restrictions, terms, and conditions as the related Award Restricted Stock) until the conclusion of the Restricted Period.
