Such portion shall equal the number of Performance Shares Earned that would have been earned by the Participant had the Participant remained employed through the end of the Award Cycle, multiplied by the quotient equal to the number of full fiscal months the Participant was employed during the Award Cycle, divided by the total number of fiscal months in the Award Cycle.
