Dividends; Rights as Stockholder. Cash dividends on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each PSUs granted to the Participant, provided that such cash dividends shall not be deemed to be reinvested in shares of Common Stock and shall be held uninvested and without interest and paid in cash at the same time that the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof. Stock dividends on shares of Common Stock shall be credited to a dividend book entry account on behalf of the Participant with respect to each PSUs granted to the Participant, provided that such stock dividends shall be paid in shares of Common Stock at the same time that the shares of Common Stock underlying the PSUs are delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by any PSU unless and until the Participant has become the holder of record of such shares.

The Grantee shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock and shall be entitled to the right to vote such shares but shall not be entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares until such have vested in accordance with [Section 3]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any stock dividends, stock split or other adjustments contemplated by [Section 11] of the Plan in respect of the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same vesting provisions and restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were issuable or paid.

Stockholder Rights. You are considered the record owner of the Restricted Shares immediately upon the Grant Date; however, you shall not be entitled to vote such Shares and you shall authorize and, by this Agreement, provide an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to the Company to vote such shares in its discretion until they are vested. Any cash dividends will accrue and be paid to you at the same time, and to the same extent, that the Restricted Shares vest, and any dividends paid in Shares or other securities shall be subject to the same vesting schedule, risk of forfeiture, and restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid. For clarity, if you forfeit any Restricted Shares, then you will also forfeit any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such Restricted Shares.

Stockholder Rights. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with [Section 18(b)], no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

Stockholder Rights. The Holder shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Option Shares until such shares have been issued after the due exercise of the Option. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon Holder any right to continued employment or association with the Company or any subsidiary thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Holder in accordance with the provisions regarding such termination set forth in Holder's written employment agreement with the Company, or if there exists no such agreement, to terminate Holder at will.

Stockholder Rights. Subject to the terms hereof, the Participant shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares prior to their vesting, including, without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive any dividends declared thereon; provided, however, that stock distributed in respect of the Shares in connection with a stock split or stock dividend shall be subject to the forfeiture restrictions and other terms of this Agreement to the same extent as the Shares and shall be included thereafter as “Shares” for all purposes of this Agreement.

Stockholder Rights. Your Restricted Stock will be held for you by the Company or by a designated transfer agent until the applicable Vesting Date. You shall have all the rights of a stockholder only with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that have vested. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, with respect to your unvested Restricted Stock, you shall have neither the right to vote such shares at any meeting of shareholders of the Company nor the right to receive any dividends paid in cash or otherwise with respect to such shares.

No Stockholder Rights. The Units subject to this Award do not entitle you to any rights of a holder of the Company’s Stock. You will not have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company in connection with the grant of Units subject to this Agreement unless and until Shares are issued to you in settlement of the Units as provided in [Section 5].

No Stockholder Rights. Neither a Participant nor any transferee of a Participant shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares underlying any Award until the date of issuance of a share certificate to a Participant or a transferee of a Participant for such Shares in accordance with the Company’s governing instruments and Applicable Law. Prior to the issuance of Shares pursuant to an Award, a Participant shall not have the right to vote or to receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder with respect to the Shares underlying the Award, notwithstanding its exercise in the case of Options and SARs. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right that is determined based on a record date prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan.
