Stock Settlement Amount:

  

 

For each YEELDS, a number of shares of the Underlying Stock having a value, as determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Underlying Stock on the Valuation Date, equal to the Cash Settlement Amount.

 

Should the calculations above result in residual fractional shares, such residual fractional shares shall be paid in cash calculated as the residual fractional number of shares multiplied by the Volume Weighted Average Price on the Valuation Date.

   

Dividend Adjustment Details

    Dividend Adjustment Amount:    The Dividend Adjustment Amount as of any scheduled trading day shall be calculated as the difference between the Actual Aggregate Dividend and the Expected Aggregate Dividend, in each case as of such scheduled trading day, which difference may be positive or zero.
    Expected Aggregate Dividend:    Means zero.
    Actual Aggregate Dividend:   

With respect to any scheduled trading day, the Actual Aggregate Dividend shall be calculated as follows:

 

•       If ex-dividend dates occur within the period from but excluding the Trade Date to and including such scheduled trading day, the Actual Aggregate Dividend shall be the sum of cash dividends declared per share of the Underlying Stock on all such ex-dividend dates;

 

•       If no ex-dividend dates occur within the period from but excluding the Trade Date to and including such scheduled trading day, the Actual Aggregate Dividend shall be zero.

    Postponement of the Valuation Date because of a market disruption event:   

 

If a market disruption event occurs on the scheduled Valuation Date, as set forth in this document, the Valuation Date will be postponed until the next scheduled trading day on which no market disruption event occurs; provided, however, if a market disruption event occurs on each of the eight scheduled trading days following the originally scheduled Valuation Date, then (a) that eighth scheduled trading day shall be deemed to be the Valuation Date and (b) the Calculation Agent shall determine the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Underlying Stock for that eighth scheduled trading day, based upon its good faith estimate of the Volume Weighted Average Price on such day.
