Common use of Distribution Equivalents Clause in Contracts

Distribution Equivalents. The Performance Share Units held by the Grantee on a distribution payment date will not be credited with distribution equivalents at such time as distributions, whether in the form of cash, Shares or other property, are paid with respect to the Shares. However, if the performance goals set forth on Appendix A cease to apply to the vesting of any of the Performance Share Units as provided in clause (ii) of the last sentence of Section 2(g), below, then, from and after such cessation, any such Performance Share Units held by the Grantee on a distribution payment date will be credited with distribution equivalents at such time as distributions, whether in the form of cash, Shares or other property, are paid with respect to the Shares. Any such distribution equivalents shall be paid on the distribution payment date to the Grantee as though such Performance Share Units were outstanding Shares.
