Dividend Equivalents. Subject to this Paragraph 5, with respect to dividends for which a record date occurs during the Restriction Period applicable to any Units, Participant shall be credited with a Dividend Equivalent with respect to each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, and with respect to any Dividend Equivalent Unit (defined below) resulting from prior reinvestments of Dividend Equivalents as provided in this Paragraph. All Dividend Equivalents so credited will be deemed to be reinvested in Restricted Stock Units on the date that the applicable dividend or distribution is made to the Company’s shareholders, in the number of Dividend Equivalent Units determined by dividing the aggregate value of the Dividend Equivalents by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date (rounded to the nearest thousandth of a whole Unit or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Company); provided, however, that if Dividend Equivalents cannot be reinvested in Units due to the operation of [Section 3(a)] of the Plan, such Dividend Equivalents will be credited to Participant as a cash value, which cash value shall be held by the Company (without interest) subject to this Agreement. Any Units resulting from the deemed reinvestment of dividends in accordance with this Paragraph 5 are referred to herein as “Dividend Equivalent Units.” Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, and shall vest or be forfeited (as applicable) at the same time, as the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate; provided, however, that if the Restriction Period for any Restricted Stock Unit ends after the record date for, but before the payment date of, a dividend, then any Dividend Equivalents related to such dividend and to Units for which the Restriction Period is ending will be paid in cash or in Stock, in the sole discretion of the Company, as soon as practicable following the payment date for such dividend.

Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to any Eligible Person entitling the Eligible Person to receive cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property equal in value to the dividends paid with respect to a specified number of Shares, or other periodic payments, in connection with another Award, other than Option or Stock Appreciation Right Awards. The Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, Awards, or other investment vehicles, and subject to such restrictions on transferability and risks of forfeiture, as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dividend Equivalents credited in connection with an Award that vests based on the achievement of performance goals shall be subject to restrictions and risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Award with respect to which such Dividend Equivalents have been credited.

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. Dividend Equivalents will be earned with respect to any Shares issued pursuant to the Award. The amount of Dividend Equivalents earned shall be equal to the total dividends declared on a Share for stockholders of record between the Grant Date of this Award and the vesting date of the RSUs, multiplied by the number of Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs awarded in the Award Agreement. Any Dividend Equivalents earned shall be paid in cash when the Shares to which they relate are issued or as soon thereafter as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Shares are issued. No Dividend Equivalents will be issued for unvested or forfeited RSUs.

The Company will pay the Grantee cash with respect to each outstanding RSU granted to the Grantee corresponding in amount and timing to the cash dividend that is paid by the Company on a Common Share of the Company.

Dividend Equivalents. Participant’s Unit Account referred to in Section 2 shall be credited with additional Units equivalent to the value of any dividends declared and paid on Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”) determined as if the Units credited to the Participant’s Unit Account were an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, with the number of additional Units to be credited determined by the number of whole shares, and a fraction thereof, of Common Stock having a value on the date such dividend is declared equal to such dividend amount.

Dividend Equivalents. In connection with your Award, you shall be entitled to receive all of the cash dividends for which the record date occurs during the period between the commencement of the Performance Period and the Vesting Date with respect to each Share underlying your vested PSUs (“Dividend Equivalents”). Dividend Equivalents shall be converted into their equivalent number of additional PSUs rounded down to the nearest whole number of PSUs based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Vesting Date, provided, that the maximum number of additional PSUs you may receive upon such conversion shall be equal to 200% of your originally granted PSUs. Such additional PSUs shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the PSUs to which the Dividend Equivalents relate, including, without limitation, the vesting, forfeiture, and payment form and timing provisions contained herein.

Dividend Equivalents. In the event Director Fees or LTIs are deferred in the form of DSUs, and in the event the Company pays and/or distributes dividends on its Common Stock, Dividend Equivalents on such DSUs shall be credited in cash to the Participant’s Cash Deferred Account. The amount of cash credited shall be equal to the product of # the per-share amount of the dividend paid by the Company in respect of its Common Stock and # the number of DSUs held in the Participant’s Deferred Stock Unit Account on the record date for such dividend being paid on the underlying Common Stock represented by such DSUs. Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to a Participant’s Cash Deferred Stock Account at the time dividends are paid by the Company in respect to its Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be deferred until and distributed at the same time as the corresponding DSU upon which the Dividend Equivalent was credited. If the DSU with respect to which the Dividend Equivalent is credited is forfeited, all Dividend Equivalents credited with respect to that forfeited DSU also shall be forfeited.

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.
