SECTION # DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS
Dividend Equivalent Rights (“DER”):
Dividend Equivalent Rights: Dividends do not accrue on TVUs.
Dividend Equivalent Rights, as defined in Section 13; or
Subject to the following, a Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, 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; provided, however, that the holder of Dividend Equivalent Rights, including any Award of which it forms a component, which have not vested are not entitled to receive dividends, however, dividends may be accrued and paid upon vesting of such Dividend Equivalent Rights together with their related Awards if applicable.
On each date that a cash dividend is paid to holders of Shares from the Grant Date through the date immediately prior to the date the PSUs are settled, an amount (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”) equal to the cash dividend that is paid on each Share, multiplied by the total number of PSUs and any Dividend Equivalent Units (as defined below) that remain unvested and outstanding as of the dividend payment record date, will be credited to the Colleague, and such credited amount will be converted into an additional number of PSUs (“Dividend Equivalent Units”) determined by dividing the Dividend Equivalent Amount by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the dividend payment. At the end of the Performance Period, the number of Dividend Equivalent Units will be adjusted to reflect the number of Dividend Equivalent Units that would have been credited to the Colleague as of the Grant Date if such calculations had been based on the number of Earned PSUs (such adjusted number, the “Earned Dividend Equivalent Units”). During the period beginning immediately following the last day of the Performance Period and ending on the date the Earned PSUs are paid pursuant to [Section 3.2(a)] below, Dividend Equivalent Units will accrue on any Earned PSUs and any Earned Dividend Equivalent Units. Dividend Equivalent Units and Earned Dividend Equivalent Units will be subject to the same conditions as the underlying PSUs with respect to which Dividend Equivalent Units and Earned Dividend Equivalent Units were credited, including without limitation, the vesting condition and the provisions governing time and form of settlement applicable to the underlying PSUs. Unless expressly provided otherwise, as used elsewhere in this Agreement, references to PSUs in this Agreement shall also include Dividend Equivalent Units and Earned Dividend Equivalent Units that have been credited to the Colleague pursuant to this [Section 2.6].
Dividend Equivalent Payments; Adjustments to Common Stock Units. The Company shall pay to each Eligible Employee in cash, less applicable payroll and withholding taxes, within thirty (30) days after the payment date of any cash dividend with respect to shares of the Companys common stock, a dividend equivalent payment equal to the number of common stock units credited to the Eligible Employees Deferral Account as of the record date for such dividend multiplied by the per share amount of the dividend.
Voting, Dividend & Other Right. Holders of restricted stock units will not be entitled to vote or to receive the dividend equivalent rights in respect of the restricted stock units at the time of any payment of dividends to stockholders on Common Stock until they become owners of the Common Stock pursuant to their restricted stock unit agreement. If the applicable restricted stock unit agreement specifies that a Participant will be entitled to dividend equivalent rights, # the amount of any such dividend equivalent right shall equal the amount that would be payable to the Participant as a stockholder in respect of a number of shares equal to the number of vested restricted stock units then credited to the Participant, and # any such dividend equivalent right shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s payment practices as may be established from time to time and as of the date on which such dividend would have been payable in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock (and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code with regard to awards subject thereto); provided that no dividend equivalents shall be currently paid on restricted share units that are not yet vested.
“Award” or “Awards,” except where referring to a particular category of grant under the Plan, shall include Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards, and Dividend Equivalent Rights.
