The Units also include dividend equivalent rights that entitle the Reporting Person to the same dividends that would be payable were the shares of common stock underlying the Units actually outstanding at the time such dividends were issued. The credited dividends will be paid concurrently with the issuance of the shares of common stock to the Reporting Person.
