(One (1) Common Stock Unit in the Plan is the equivalent of one (1) share of Ashland Common Stock.) Subject to any deferral election on timing of distribution by the reporting person under the Plan, the Common Stock Units are payable in Common Stock upon the reporting person's separation from service as a director.
