All cash-settled Parent Shares notionally credited to each Transferred Director’s deferred fee account under the Parent Deferred Fee Plans (“Cash-Settled Units”), the liability for which is transferred to Spinco and the Spinco Deferred Fee Plan for Directors pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be adjusted so that, from and after the Effective Time, such Cash-Settled Units relate to a number of Spinco Shares (including any resulting fractional share) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Parent Shares to which such Cash-Settled Units related immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the Spinco Ratio. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if a Transferred Director holds, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent Shares, Parent RSU Awards, and Cash-Settled Units with a value of at least two times the stock ownership guideline under Parent’s non-employee director compensation policy, all of such Transferred Director’s Cash-Settled Units shall be adjusted so that, immediately after the Effective Time, such Cash-Settled Units relate to (A) a number of Parent Shares equal to the number of Parent Shares to which such Cash-Settled Units related immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) a number of Spinco Shares equal to the number of Parent Shares to which such Cash-Settled Units related immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Distribution Ratio, and all such adjusted Cash-Settled Units will otherwise continue to have the same terms and conditions that applied to the original Cash-Settled Units immediately prior to the Effective Time.
