4. [FOLLOWING INCLUDED AT COMMITTEE’S DISCRETION: Dividend Shares. Until the vesting date specified in Section 5, your bookkeeping account shall be credited with dividend Shares in the form of additional restricted units (“Dividend Shares”) based on your Target Award equal to the value of any cash or stock dividends paid by the Company upon one Share of Common Stock for each unvested Restricted Unit or Dividend Share credited to your bookkeeping account on a dividend record date. At the vesting date specified in Section 5, such Dividend Shares shall be adjusted up or down, as necessary, based on your Actual Award. In the case of cash dividends, the Company shall credit your bookkeeping account, on each dividend payment date, with additional Dividend Shares equal to (a) divided by (b), where (a) equals the total number of unvested Restricted Units and Dividend Shares, if any, subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date, and (b) equals the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. If a dividend is paid to holders of Common Stock in Shares, the Company shall credit to your bookkeeping account, on each dividend payment date, additional Dividend Shares equal to the total number of unvested Restricted Units and Dividend Shares subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the Share dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date. Dividend Shares are subject to the same restrictions, including but not limited to vesting, transferability and payment restrictions, that apply to the Restricted Units to which they relate, with any fractional Shares rounded up to the nearest whole Share. You shall continue to earn Dividend Shares on unpaid Restricted Units and Dividend Shares after the end of the Performance Cycle.

The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be construed by you to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment. Neither the Company nor your local employer shall incur any liability of any kind to you as |
|
|
a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time. |
|
(g) |
Participation in the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute, and shall not be deemed by you to constitute, an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company. |
21. Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time.

This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Restricted Units [and Dividend Shares].
23. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision shall be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
24. Agreement Changes. The Company reserves the right to change the terms of this Agreement and the Plan without your consent to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Code section 409A, the Treasury regulations and other guidance thereunder.
