Regular Dividends. CFSB shall not declare, set aside, pay or make any dividend or other distribution or payment (whether in cash, stock, or property) with respect to, or purchase or redeem, any shares of the capital stock other than the regular 10 percent stock dividend on dates corresponding to the historical declaration and payment dates and regular quarterly cash dividends per share on CFSB Common Stock payable on the regular historical payment dates, all in a manner consistent with CFSB's past dividend practice. Old Kent and CFSB agree that they will cooperate to assure that, during any calendar quarter, there shall not be a duplica- tion of payment of dividends to stockholders of CFSB. Notwithstanding the above, if and to the extent that the payment of a dividend in the manner provided in this Section would, under GAAP or the rules, regulations, or interpretations of the SEC or its staff, disqualify the Merger for pooling- of-interests accounting treatment, that dividend shall not be paid, but an equitable adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio for the amount of the dividend not paid. If the customary payment date for the next regular cash dividend payable after the Effective Time of Old Kent Common Stock as the Surviving Corporation which is eligible to be received by the former holders of CFSB Common Stock is more than 90 days after the payment date of the last regular cash dividend paid or to be paid on CFSB Common Stock prior to the Effective Time (such number of days over 90 days being the "DIVIDEND LAG PERIOD"), then CFSB may declare and set aside immediately prior to the Effective Time, and may pay at a date it may select in its discretion, a "SPECIAL PRO-RATA DIVIDEND" pursuant to this Section. Any such Special Pro-rata Dividend shall be payable in cash, and shall not exceed an amount per share that is the product of (i) the amount of the dividend permitted to be paid by CFSB pursuant to this Section 5.5, multi- plied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Dividend Lag Period and the denominator of which is 90 days.
