S&P SmallCap 600 Index definition
S&P SmallCap 600 Index means the companies that comprise the S&P SmallCap 600 Index on the Grant Date, adjusted to reflect any such companies which are removed from the S&P SmallCap 600 Index as of the last day of the Performance Period in accordance with this definition. Companies shall be removed from the S&P SmallCap 600 Index if, during the Performance Period, any such company (a) is acquired by another company (whether by a peer company or otherwise) or (b) ceases to be listed on a national stock exchange or other applicable market system. For the avoidance of doubt, a company shall not be removed from the S&P SmallCap 600 Index if, during the Performance Period, the company (i) leaves the S&P SmallCap 600 Index but continues to be publicly traded or (ii) files for bankruptcy protection under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that in the event such a company files for bankruptcy, its TSR (as defined below) shall be adjusted to negative one hundred percent (-100%).
