Common use of Performance Goal Clause in Contracts

Performance Goal.

For purposes of this Agreement, such total shareholder return (“Total Shareholder Return”) for the Corporation and each of the Comparison Companies shall be measured by dividing (A) the sum of (1) the dividends paid (regardless of whether paid in cash or property) on the common stock of such company during the Performance Cycle, assuming reinvestment of such dividends in such stock (based on the closing price of such stock on the date such dividend is paid), plus (2) the average closing price of a share of such stock on the principal United States exchange on which the stock trades for the 60 trading days immediately prior to and including the last day of the Performance Cycle (appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, merger or other similar corporate events)(the “Ending Average Value”) minus the average closing price of a share of such company's common stock on the principal United States exchange on which the stock trades for the 60 trading days occurring immediately prior to the first day of the Performance Cycle (the “Beginning Average Value”) , by (B) the Beginning Average Value. For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that the foregoing calculation of Total Shareholder Return shall take into account not only the reinvestment of dividends in a share of common stock of the Corporation and any Comparison Company but also capital appreciation or depreciation in the shares deemed acquired by such reinvestment. All determinations under this Section 4 shall be made by the Committee.
