Under the terms of these Swaps, on the designated settlement date or earlier termination of such swap (the "Settlement Date"), such affiliate will be obligated to pay to the counterparty any positive price performance of the reference shares between the reference price ($110.26) and market value of such reference shares as of such Settlement Date and the counterparty will be obligated to pay to such affiliate any negative price performance of the reference shares between the reference price and market value of such reference shares as of such Settlement Date.
