Treatment of Deferred Shares and Deferred Awards. Subject to the immediately following sentence, as of the Effective Time, all Parent Shares notionally credited to participants’ accounts under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan and SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan shall be notionally credited with SpinCo Shares as determined by applying the Distribution Ratio in the same way as if the notionally credited Parent Shares were outstanding and vested as of the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, all Parent Awards that have been credited to participants’ accounts under the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan and SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan shall be notionally adjusted in the manner contemplated by Section 4.02. As of no later than the Effective Time, the Parent Deferred Compensation Plan shall be amended to provide that any notional SpinCo Shares or SpinCo Awards that would ordinarily be settled in SpinCo Shares shall be settled for cash, and vested SpinCo Awards may, at the election of the applicable participant, be notionally invested into an investment alternative other than SpinCo Shares. As of no later than the Effective Time, the SpinCo Deferred Compensation Plan shall provide that any notional Parent Shares or Post-Separation Parent Awards that would ordinarily be settled in Parent Shares shall be settled for cash, and Parent Shares and vested Post-Separation Parent Awards may, at the election of the applicable participant, be notionally invested into an investment alternative other than Parent Shares.
