A is calculated as follows:

(a)
for each of the ten (10) calendar years preceding the year of the AIC Date, determine the percentage that the Member’s Deemed PIP Award or any amounts paid under such other incentive plan as determined by the Company in respect of that year is of the Member’s Base Earnings for that year, then

average the five (5) highest percentages obtained under subparagraph (a); and

B equals the average of the Member’s level of target award under the Performance Incentive Plan in effect on each December 31 over the five year period ending on the AIC Date, expressed as a percentage of salary.

For the purposes of calculating B above, the Member’s level of target award under the Performance Incentive Plan at a December 31 that is prior to 2011 shall be deemed to equal the Member’s level of target award under the Performance Incentive Plan at December 31, 2010, and furthermore, the Member’s level of target award under the
