shall equal the number of days the Participant was employed by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries during the Performance Period and the denominator of which shall equal the number of days in the Performance Period. The amount of an award payable
to a Participant under this Section 6 shall be calculated as if the Performance Goal had been achieved and the award set forth in such Participant’s participation agreement (as adjusted in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence) shall be adjusted (A) upward proportionately to the extent the Stock Price Measure exceeds the Stock Base Amount or (B) downward proportionately to the extent the Stock Price Measure is less than the Stock Base Amount.
