3.Dividend Equivalents; No Other Rights as Stockholder.
(a)Dividend Equivalents.  If a cash dividend is paid with respect to the Common Stock, a cash dividend equivalent equal to the total cash dividend the Participant would have received had the RSUs been actual 

Shares shall be accumulated and paid in cash through payroll when the RSUs become earned and payable pursuant to Exhibit A hereto.
(b)No Other Rights.  Except as provided in Section 3(a) above, until such time as the RSUs have been settled and the underlying Shares have been delivered to the Participant and the Participant has become the holder of record of such Shares, the Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder, including, without limitation, the right to dividends and the right to vote.
4.Tax Withholding.  As a condition to delivery of Shares (and any related dividend equivalents) in respect of earned RSUs, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or, pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Plan, make provisions satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld in respect of the transfer of Shares (and any related dividend equivalents) in settlement of the RSUs.  The Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to withhold, or require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes of any kind (including, without limitation, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code or any other applicable law, rule, or regulation with respect to the RSUs and, if the Participant fails to do so, the Company may otherwise refuse to issue or transfer any Shares (and any related dividend equivalents) otherwise required to be issued pursuant to this Award Agreement.
5.Non-Transferability.  The RSUs may not, at any time, be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold, or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company and its Affiliates; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer, or encumbrance.  
6.Adjustment.  Upon any event described in Section 13 of the Plan occurring after the Date of Grant, the adjustment provisions as provided for under Section 13 of the Plan shall apply to the RSUs.

8.Miscellaneous.
(a)Waiver and Amendment.  The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend any terms of, this Award Agreement and the RSUs, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, and consistent with the requirements of the Regulations as determined by the Committee; provided that any such waiver or amendment that would materially impair the rights of the Participant with respect to the RSUs (other than any such amendment made to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, Applicable Exchange listing standards, or accounting rules) shall not, to that extent, be effective without the consent of the Participant.  No waiver of any right hereunder by any party shall operate as a waiver of any other right, or as a waiver of the same right with respect to any subsequent occasion for its exercise, or as a waiver of any right to damages.  No waiver by any party of any breach of this Award Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.
