To the extent the PSUs are settled in Shares, the Company shall (i) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the number of Earned PSUs less applicable tax withholding, and (ii) enter the Grantee’s name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the Shares delivered to the Grantee. 8. Transferability. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, the PSUs or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and upon any such transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution, the transferee shall hold such PSUs subject to all of the terms and conditions that were applicable to the Grantee immediately prior to such transfer. 9. Rights as Shareholder; Dividend Equivalents. 9.1 The Grantee shall not have any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying the PSUs, including, but not limited to, voting rights and the right to receive or accrue dividends or dividend equivalents. 9.2 Upon and following the vesting of the PSUs and the issuance of Shares, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the Shares underlying the PSUs unless and until such Shares are sold or otherwise disposed of, and as record owner shall be entitled to all rights of a shareholder of the Company (including voting and dividend rights, if any). 10.
