Adjustment in Respect of a Spin-Off:   

In lieu of any other adjustment, FCA shall, following the effective date of a Spin-Off, deliver no later than the same Trading Day that SpinCo Shares (as defined below) are delivered to holders of Common Shares, a number of SpinCo Shares which shall be based upon the Spin-Off Ratio (as defined below) applied to the number of “Underlying Common Shares.” The Underlying Common Shares shall be calculated by the calculation agent by applying the conversion rates that would apply upon a mandatory conversion (assuming the Measurement Date were the Mandatory Conversion Date) of the Mandatory Convertible Securities, with the Applicable Market Value based on the average of the daily VWAPs of the Common Shares during the 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately prior to the Measurement Date.
