As of each date on which the Company pays a regular cash dividend to record owners of shares of Common Stock (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), the number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Award shall be increased by (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Award immediately prior to the record date for such Dividend Payment Date, but that have not been issued pursuant to Section 4 as of such record date, multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per share of Common Stock, divided by (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such Dividend Payment Date.
