 Section 4. PAYMENT OF
DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT. 
 (a) Dividend Equivalents. In the event that the Company declares
a dividend on common stock of the Company, Participants shall be eligible to receive a cash dividend equivalent payment or a reduction of the exercise price of unvested Options as follows: 

(i) Vested Options. Participants who hold vested Options on the record date with respect to any such dividend shall
be eligible to receive a cash dividend equivalent payment equal to the amount that such Participant would otherwise have been entitled to receive had his or her vested Option been fully exercised








 
immediately prior to such record date. The cash dividend equivalent payment shall be paid to Participants eligible for such payments under this Section 4(a)(i) no later than the later of
(A) December 31 of the year in which the record date occurs or (B) two and one-half (2 1/2) months following end of the calendar month in which the record date occurs. 
 (ii) Unvested Options. 
 (1) In the
event that the Company declares such dividend other than in a Corporate Transaction, Participants who hold unvested Options on the record date with respect to such dividend shall be eligible to receive a cash dividend equivalent payment equal to the
amount that such Participant would otherwise have been entitled to receive had his or her unvested Option been fully vested and exercised immediately prior to such record date; provided that such cash dividend equivalent amount shall not be paid to
any such Participant until the date such Option vests pursuant to the terms set forth in such Participant’s applicable Option agreement and no later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months following the calendar year in which the Option vests. 

(2) In the event that the Company declares such dividend in a Corporate Transaction, then, except as provided in the last
sentence of this Section 4(a)(ii)(2), the Company shall pursuant to such Corporate Transaction replace or assume any outstanding unvested Options with new options, the exercise price of which shall be reduced from the original Option by the
amount of such dividend per share (but not below $0); provided that the ratio of the exercise price of the new option to the fair market value of such new option immediately after the substitution or assumption is not greater than the ratio of the
exercise price of the unvested Option to the fair market value of the unvested Option immediately before such substitution or assumption. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event the exercise price of any new option is reduced
pursuant to this Section 4(a)(ii)(2), the Participant shall not receive any cash dividend equivalent payment with respect to any dividend paid in connection with such Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee
determines that so reducing the exercise price is prohibited by law, regulation, NYSE rule or the 2003 Stock Option Plan or creates a material adverse consequence for the Company, or if for any other reason the exercise price is not so reduced, then
the Participants shall receive a dividend equivalent payment in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii)(1). 

(iii) In no event shall a cash dividend equivalent payment be tied to or otherwise dependent upon the exercise of an
Option. 
 (b) Taxes. Dividend equivalent payments made in accordance with subsection (a) above shall be subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes. 
 (c) Section 409A. The dividend equivalent payments made in accordance with
subsection (a) are not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Committee
determines that any dividend equivalent payments may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan or take any other actions that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to
(i) exempt such dividend equivalent payment from Section 409A of the Code or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. To the extent that any
dividend equivalent payments are deemed to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Plan will be interpreted to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder. 
 Section 5. MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. 

(b) Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the

connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself.
