7. Dividend Equivalents.

(a) General. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Participants who hold vested Certificates of Long-Term Performance shall be credited with one Dividend Equivalent for each such vested Certificate of Long-Term Performance on each cash dividend record date of the Common Stock.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant must be employed with the Corporation on a cash dividend record date of the Common Stock in order to be credited with one Dividend Equivalent for each vested Certificate of Long-Term Performance for that date.

A cash dividend must be declared and paid on the Common Stock in order for a Dividend Equivalent to be credited and paid on a vested Certificate of Long-Term Performance.

Except as set forth herein, no employee or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. By accepting an Award, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Award shall be exclusively governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the right reserved by the Corporation to amend or cancel the Plan at any time without the Corporation incurring liability to the Participant (except, to the extent that the terms of the Award so provide, for Awards already granted under the Plan), (ii) Awards are not a constituent part of salary and the Participant is not entitled, under the terms and conditions of employment, or by accepting or being granted Awards under the Plan to require Awards to be granted to him or her in the future under the Plan or any other plan, (iii) the value of Awards received under the Plan shall be excluded from the calculation of termination indemnities or other severance payments, and (iv) the Participant shall seek all necessary approval under, make all required notifications under, and comply with all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Certificates of Long-Term Performance, including currency and exchange laws, rules, and regulations.

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant with the Corporation or its designee during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

(h) Costs and Expenses. The cost and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Corporation and shall not be charged to any Award or to any Participant.

(j) Funding of Plan. The Corporation shall not be required to establish or fund any special or separate account or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Award under the Plan.

(k) Successors. All obligations of the Corporation under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Corporation, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, any payment of the Formula Value of a Certificate of Long-Term Performance to a Participant who is paid in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be converted to that currency using the foreign currency exchange rate used to prepare the balance sheet of the Corporation as of the end of the Fiscal Year for which the Formula Value was calulated.
