bonus based on year-to-date growth of profits over the same period of the prior
year. This bonus will be calculated by multiplying the year-to-date growth in
profits for each quarter by the corresponding profit growth participation factor
from the table below, minus bonus paid year-to-date for the respective calendar
year.

plans based upon eligibility pursuant to the plans. If the insurance plans do
