Dividend Equivalents . Until such time as
the following restrictions lapse or the RSUs are cancelled,
whichever occurs first, the Company will pay the Grantee a cash
amount equivalent in value to the per share quarterly dividend

with such payments to be made reasonably promptly after the payment
date of each quarterly dividend.
