Non-Competition Agreement and Release and Waiver of Claims

 Exhibit 10.21 
 NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
 and 

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS 
 THIS IS A NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT and RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) made this 26th day of August 2011, by and between CDI Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as “Company”) and Mark A. Kerschner (hereinafter referred to as “Employee”) which is entered into in connection with the termination of Employee’s role as Chief Financial Officer as of
August 30, 2011 and Employee’s employment with Company as of September 30, 2011 (“Termination Date”). 

1. Consideration. 
  

	 	(a)	As consideration for Employee’s continued employment through September 30, 2011, Company agrees to pay Employee the amount set forth in paragraph 2, below.

  

	 	(b)	As consideration for Employee’ non-competition and release undertakings and his other undertakings set forth herein and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s
Executive Severance Arrangement, Company agrees to pay Employee twenty six bi-weekly payments of $12,884.62 each beginning October 1, 2011. Such bi-weekly payments will be made in conjunction with Company’s regular pay cycle and for any
bi-weekly period in which Employee is not required to be paid pursuant to the foregoing for two full weeks (i.e., the first and last pay cycle of this period), his bi-weekly payment may be prorated accordingly so that the total payments over the
twelve month period are equal to $335,000. 

  

	 	(c)	 Beginning on the first of the month following the Termination Date and continuing for twelve months, Company agrees to provide Employee with an
additional monthly severance payment which, after tax, is equal to the portion of the premium for Health Benefits coverage for Employee and Employee’s current eligible dependents that the Company was paying immediately prior to the Termination
Date plus the amount the Company has paid into Employee’s Health Savings Account on a monthly basis while Employee was employed by the Company, so long as Employee continues to pay the regular employee share of such premium. This payment will
be contingent upon Employee electing the COBRA coverage. Except as provided herein, nothing in this Section shall be deemed to require the 

  

							
	  	  	BDS	 	MAK	 	 
		  	Company	 	Employee	 	

	 	
Company to reimburse Employee for any deductibles, co-pays or other similar type payments incurred by Employee relating to the Health Benefits. Following the twelve month period after the
Termination Date, Employee shall be responsible for the full COBRA cost of the group health plan benefits for himself and his eligible dependents through the remainder of his COBRA eligibility period. 

 

	 	(d)	Continue Employee’s Basic Life Insurance coverage through the earlier of the twelve month anniversary of the Termination Date or the date on which Employee secures
new employment. 

  

	 	(e)	Pay for or reimburse Employee for outplacement services at a cost not to exceed $15,000 that have been incurred prior to the earlier of the twelve month anniversary of
the Termination Date or the date on which Employee secures new employment; 

  

	 	(f)	Should Employee secure another employment position, the Company shall have the right to cease, in its sole discretion, any additional severance payments, outplacement
service fees, Health Benefits and any Company payments for Health Benefits and COBRA continuation or life insurance benefits for the period following Employee’s attainment of other employment. 

 

	 	(g)	Employee will be able to exercise stock options and stock-settled appreciation rights that are vested as of the Termination Date for two months following the
Termination Date. No accelerated vesting of equity grants will occur and equity grants will not vest during the six-month exercise period. 

 Company’s obligations under this Section 1 are contingent upon (i) Employee’ execution of this Agreement and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the seven
(7) day revocation period provided in Section 8, below, having expired and (iii) Employee having not exercised that right of revocation. 
 2. Employee agrees to continue to perform services as an employee to the Company through September 30, 2011. Employee will perform such services as reasonably requested by the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer. Employee will provide such services to the Company on a reasonably satisfactory basis and will be compensated at his current salary and benefits. 
 3. From the date hereof through the twelve month period following his Termination Date, Employee agrees that he will not:

 -2-

	 	(a)	Directly or indirectly hire or cause to be hired, or solicit, interfere with or attempt to entice away from Company, any individual who was an employee of Company
during Employee’s employment and was an employee of Company within twelve months prior to the date of such hire; 

  

	 	(b)	Directly or indirectly, contact, solicit, interfere with or attempt to entice away from Company any customer of Company which was a customer prior to the Termination
Date, on behalf of a business which competes with Company; 

  

	 	(c)	Own, manage, operate, finance, join, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing or control of, or be connected directly or indirectly,

investor, representative, trustee or in any other capacity similar to the capacity in which he was engaged by the Company with any Competing Business. Competing Business is any business or enterprise which that (1) provides candidates or
personnel to customers on a direct, contract or temporary basis; which provides technology and/or administration to assist in the coordination of such services provided by multiple vendors; which provides services related to either of the foregoing;
or (2) which provides a service similar to the services provided by the Engineering Solutions and IT Solutions businesses of the Company. Competing Business does not include any business or service in which CDI did not engage during
Employee’s employment with the Company. This provision, Section 3 (c) shall apply throughout the United States and in any geographical market that the Company was conducting business prior to the Termination Date.

  

	 	(d)	 Employee acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 3 are reasonably designed to protect the Company’s legitimate business
interests. Should Employee breach any provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other relief available in equity or at law. Should any provision of this Section 3 be determined to
be unreasonable as to duration, geographic scope or otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction, the court shall have the authority to

modify such provisions to the extent necessary to render them enforceable. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to contrary, in the event the Company ceases severance payments pursuant to Section 1(f) above, the restrictions
under Section 3(c) above shall cease at the corresponding time. 
 4. Employee hereby, on behalf of himself, his
descendants, ancestors, dependents, heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors, fully and forever releases and discharges Company and its parent and it parent’s parent, and its and their subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions,
successors, and assigns, together with its and their past and present directors, officers, agents, attorneys, insurers, employees, stockholders, and representatives (“Company’s Related Parties”), from any and all claims, wages,
demands, rights, liens, agreements, contracts, covenants, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, judgments, orders or liabilities of whatsoever kind or nature in law, equity or
otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which Employee now owns or holds or has at any time heretofore owned or held against said Company or Company’s Related Parties through the date of Employee’ signature on

transactions, occurrences, acts or omissions or any loss, damage or injury whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, resulting from any act or omission by or on the part of Company or any of Company’s Related Parties committed or
omitted prior to the date of this Release, including, but not limited to claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, and any
state or local statute which deals with discrimination or any claim for severance pay, bonus, salary, overtime pay, sick leave, holiday pay, vacation pay, stock options or other stock related compensation or programs, life insurance, health or
medical insurance, benefits under any pension, retirement or 401(k) plan or any other fringe benefit, or disability benefit.

this Agreement, (ii) payments to which Employee is entitled under any Company insurance, retirement, profit sharing, deferred compensation, 401(k), or any other Company benefit plan as of the Termination Date – the benefits under which
will be paid in accordance with the terms of such plans, it being understood and agreed that neither the consideration paid under the Agreement nor the way that consideration is calculated or paid shall create or enhance any such entitlement,

during Employee’ period of employment with Company, above. Such actions would include reviewing files and records, attending and participating in meetings, giving depositions, attending and testifying at trials and performing similar actions.
Company agrees to provide reasonable notice, and as much notice as is practicable under the circumstances, to Employee before requesting Employee to perform any such actions. Company further agrees to cooperate with Employee in scheduling all such

 14. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect or

 15. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the
termination of Employee’ employment, the payment of any compensation to Employee following such termination and all other subjects addressed herein. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations and agreements relating to the
subjects addressed herein. All agreements, proposed or otherwise, whether written or oral, concerning all subject matters covered herein are incorporated into this Agreement.

the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“409A”)) and would be subject to any taxes, interest or penalties if paid or provided to Employee prior to the six month anniversary of his “separation
from service” (within the meaning of 409A), then any such payments or benefits that would otherwise be so provided during such six month period shall instead be withheld and paid to Employee in a lump sum on the first business day following the
six month anniversary of his separation from service, with all remaining payments to be provided as if no such delay had occurred. Each severance installment payable under Section 1(b) hereof shall be treated as a series of separate payments in

 Exhibit 10.1 
 2012 PROGRESSIVE CAPITAL 
 MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN 

 

	1.	The Plan. The Progressive Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively “Progressive” or the “Company”) have adopted the 2012
Progressive Capital Management Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) as part of their compensation program for the Company’s investment professionals for Company’s 2012 fiscal year (the “Plan year”). The Plan is performance-based and
is administered under the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of The Progressive Corporation (the “Compensation Committee” or “Committee”). References in this Plan to the investment results of the
Company mean the applicable results achieved by the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliate in their respective investment portfolios on an aggregate basis. 

 The Company’s investment professionals invest the funds of the Company in accordance with investment guidelines approved from time to time by the Investment and Capital Committee of the Board of
Directors. Those guidelines address such matters as minimum average credit quality and the duration of the portfolio, as well as limitations on the extent to which the portfolio can be concentrated in individual issuers. Compliance with the
guidelines is routinely monitored and variations therefrom must be reported to, and approved by, the Investment and Capital Committee. 
  

	2.	Participants. Progressive employees who are assigned primarily to the Company’s capital management function, including the Company’s Chief
Investment Officer (“CIO”), are eligible to be selected for participation in the Plan. Eligible employees in addition to the CIO may be selected by the CIO in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Human
Resource Officer (“CHRO”) (the “Designated Executives”) to participate in the Plan. Participants may also participate in other Gainsharing, bonus or incentive compensation plans maintained by Progressive, if so determined by the
Designated Executives (or in the case of the CIO or any other executive officer, by the Compensation Committee). Other eligible employees of the Company may be selected for participation in the Plan for or at any time during the Plan year by the
Designated Executives. In such cases, the Designated Executives will determine the new participant’s Target Percentage (described below) and other terms of participation (except with respect to the CIO or any other executive officer, as to whom
all determinations must be made by the Committee). 

  

	3.	Annual Bonus Determination. 

  

	 	A.	Annual Bonus. Each participant may earn an annual cash bonus (the “Annual Bonus”), subject to the terms of this Plan. The amount of the Annual Bonus
earned by any participant will be determined by application of the following formula: 

 Annual
Bonus = Paid Eligible Earnings x Target Percentage x Performance Factor 
  

	 	B.	Paid Eligible Earnings. Paid Eligible Earnings for the Plan year shall mean and include the following: regular, Earned Time Benefit pay (excluding the payout of
unused Earned Time Benefit pay at termination), sick pay, holiday pay, funeral pay, military make-up pay, overtime pay, shift differential and shift credit, and retroactive payments of any of the foregoing items, received by the participant during
the Plan year for work or services performed as an officer or employee of Progressive. 

 For purposes of the
Plan, Paid Eligible Earnings shall exclude all other types of compensation, including, without limitation, any short-term or long-term disability payments 

 
made to the participant, the earnings replacement component of any worker’s compensation award, payments from any discretionary cash fund or any other bonus or incentive compensation or
equity-based awards, any dividend payments and any unused Earned Time Benefit. 
  

	 	C.	Target Percentage. The Target Percentages for participants in the Plan shall be determined by or under the direction of the Committee, but will not exceed 125%
for any participant. Target Percentages may vary among Plan participants and may be changed from year to year by or under the direction of the Designated Executives (or in the case of the CIO or any other executive officer, by the Compensation
Committee). 

  

	 	D.	Performance Factor. The Performance Factor will be determined by the Committee after the expiration of the Plan year based on the performance of the
Company’s fixed-income investment portfolio (the “Fixed-Income Portfolio” or “Portfolio”), and such other factors and information relating to the performance of the Company’s investment professionals as the Committee
shall determine. 

 First, an indicated performance factor will be determined based on the fully taxable
equivalent total return of the Fixed-Income Portfolio, in comparison to the total returns of the group of comparable investment firms identified by Rogers Casey (the “Investment Benchmark”), over the one-and three-year periods ending on
December 31 of the Plan year, as described below. After the end of the Plan year, Rogers Casey will determine the firms that are included in the Investment Benchmark in accordance with the criteria specified on Exhibit I hereto. Rogers Casey
will also provide to the Company the monthly total return data for each of the Investment Benchmark firms for the three-year period ending on December 31 of the Plan year. 

Investment results for the Fixed-Income Portfolio will be marked to market, including the benefit of any state premium tax abatements for
municipal securities held in the Portfolio that are realized by the Company during the Plan year, in order to calculate the Portfolio’s fully taxable equivalent total return for the one-year (2012) and three-year period (2010-2012)
periods, in each case compounded on a monthly basis. The investment performance achieved by the Fixed-Income Portfolio for the one-and three-year periods will then be compared against the total returns of the firms included in the Investment
Benchmark for the same periods, also compounded on a monthly basis, as determined by the Company from the monthly performance data supplied by Rogers Casey for each firm in the Investment Benchmark, to determine, for each comparison period, where
the Fixed Income Portfolio’s performance falls on a percentile basis when compared to the firms in the Investment Benchmark, as further described on Exhibit II (“Performance Ranking”). 

The Portfolio’s Performance Ranking will be used to determine a performance score of between 0 and 2.0 for each comparison period,
based on the following schedule: 
  

							
	Comparison	  	Score = 0	 	Score = 1.0	 	Score = 2.0
	 Period
	  	Rank at or below	 	Rank equal to	 	Rank at or above
	 One year
	  	15th Percentile	 	50th Percentile	 	85th Percentile
	 Three year
	  	25th Percentile	 	50th Percentile	 	75th Percentile

 A Performance Ranking between the values identified in the schedule will be interpolated on a
straight-line basis to generate the applicable performance score, as further described on 

 
Exhibit II. Once these performance scores are determined, an overall indicated performance factor will be determined by averaging the performance scores for the one- and three-year comparison
periods. 
 The overall indicated performance factor will be reported to the Compensation Committee after the expiration of the
Plan year, together with such supporting documentation as the Committee may require. The Committee may consider such additional information as it deems necessary or appropriate in its discretion. Such information may include, without limitation:

  

	 	•	 	 the primary investment factors that are responsible for favorable or unfavorable results relative to the peer group, such as the Company’s
duration and yield curve position and the extent of its exposure to sectors of the fixed income markets, including corporate bonds, residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities,
government bonds, preferred stocks and non-investment grade bonds; 

  

	 	•	 	 the Company’s holdings within each sector relative to the general market composition of each sector; 

 

	 	•	 	 the extent to which material investment decisions may have been driven by Company strategic or capital considerations; and

  

	 	•	 	 the impact on investment results of significant portfolio cash flows driven by Company operations, strategic decisions or capital transactions.

 In addition, the Committee may choose to consult with others, including, without limitation, management,
the Board’s Investment and Capital Committee, other Board members, and outside compensation and investment professionals, in evaluating the performance of the Company’s investment professionals for the year. The Committee will then
determine the Performance Factor, provided that under no circumstances may the Performance Factor exceed 2.0 for the year. 
  

	 	E.	In the event that Rogers Casey (or its successor or assigns) discontinues providing the data that is necessary to make the calculations required by this Plan, or
modifies the information in such a way as to render the comparisons required by this Plan to be not meaningful, in the Committee’s sole judgment, the determinations required above shall be made using investment return data for comparable firms
satisfying the criteria set forth on Exhibit I as may be available from another recognized provider of investment industry data as the Committee may approve in its sole discretion. 

 

	4.	Payment Procedures; Deferral. The Annual Bonuses will be determined and paid to Plan participants as soon as practicable after the Performance Factor has
been determined by the Committee, but no later than March 15th following the Plan year. 

 Any Plan
participant who is eligible to participate in The Progressive Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (“Deferral Plan”) may elect to defer all or any portion of his or her Annual Bonus otherwise payable under this Plan, subject to
and in accordance with the terms of the Deferral Plan. 
  

	5.	 Qualification Date; Leave of Absence; Withholding. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, and except as otherwise provided herein,
in order to be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus for the Plan year, the participant must be an active employee of Progressive on November 30 of the Plan year (“Qualification Date”). Any participant who is on a leave of absence
covered by the 

	 	
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, personal leave approved by the Company, military leave or short or long-term disability (provided that, in the case of a long-term disability, the
participant is still an employee of the Company) on the Qualification Date relating to the Plan year will be entitled to receive an Annual Bonus for the Plan year based on the Paid Eligible Earnings received by the participant during the Plan year.
Annual Bonus payments made to participants will be net of any legally required deductions for federal, state and local taxes and other items. 

  

	6.	Other Plans. Participants may be selected to participate in this Plan and in one or more other incentive plans offered by the Company. In the case of the
CIO or any other executive officer, all determinations with respect to such incentive plans and the executive’s participation therein shall be made by the Compensation Committee. In all other cases, the Designated Executives shall have full
authority to determine the incentive plan or plans in which any employee shall participate during the Plan year and the weighting factor (if any) that will apply to each such plan. 

 

	7.	Non-Transferability. The right to any Annual Bonuses hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned or encumbered by any participant. Nothing herein
shall prevent any participant’s interest hereunder from being subject to involuntary attachment, levy or other legal process. 

  

	8.	Administration. The Plan will be administered by or under the direction of the Committee. The Committee will have the authority to adopt, alter, amend,
modify and repeal such rules, guidelines, procedures and practices governing the Plan as it, from time to time, in its sole discretion deems advisable. 

 The Committee will have full authority to determine the manner in which the Plan will operate, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to make all determinations thereunder. All such interpretations
and determinations will be final and binding on Progressive, all Plan participants and all other parties. No such interpretation or determination may be relied on as a precedent for any similar action or decision. 

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and except as provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph, all of the authority of the
Committee hereunder (including, without limitation, the authority to administer the Plan, select the persons entitled to participate herein, interpret the provisions hereof, waive any of the requirements specified herein and make determinations
hereunder and to establish, approve, change or modify Investment Benchmarks, Performance Targets and Target Percentages) may be exercised by the Designated Officers. If one or more of said officers is unavailable or unable to participate, or if such
position is vacant, the Chief Financial Officer may act instead of such officer. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, all determinations made under this Plan with respect to the CIO or any other individual deemed to be an executive officer of the Company under applicable SEC or NYSE rules must be made only by the Compensation Committee. 

 

	9.	Termination; Amendments. The Plan may be terminated, amended or revised, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time by the Committee, in its
sole discretion. 

  

	10.	Unfunded Obligations. The Plan will be unfunded and all payments due under the Plan will be made from Progressive’s general assets.

  

	11.	 No Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed as conferring upon any person the right to remain a participant in the Plan
or to remain employed by Progressive, nor shall the Plan 

	 	
limit Progressive’s right to discipline or discharge any of its officers or employees or change any of their job titles, duties or compensation. 

 

	12.	Set off Rights. Progressive shall have the unrestricted right to set off against or recover out of any bonuses or other sums owed to any participant under
the Plan any amounts owed by such participant to Progressive. 

  

	13.	Prior Plans. This Plan supersedes all prior plans, agreements, understandings and arrangements regarding bonuses or other cash incentive compensation
payable or due to any participant from Progressive with respect to the performance of Progressive’s investment portfolio. 

  

	14.	Effective Date. This Plan is adopted, and is effective, as of the first day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year and will be effective for the 2012 Plan
year (which coincides with Progressive’s 2012 fiscal year, except that investment returns are calculated on a calendar year basis). 

  

	15.	Governing Law. This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio. 

 EXHIBIT I 

INVESTMENT BENCHMARK CRITERIA 
 After the end of the Plan year, Rogers Casey will determine the firms comprising the Investment Benchmark for the Plan year from its records and will supply to the Company the monthly total returns and
any other relevant data for each of those firms for the three-year period ending on December 31 of the Plan year. 
 A firm will be
included in the Investment Benchmark if Rogers Casey is able to determine from its records that: 
  

	1.	The firm has provided monthly data regarding its holdings and investment return, as necessary to determine or calculate such firm’s monthly total return, and to
evaluate such firm’s compliance with each of the criteria set forth below, for the entire three-year period ending on December 31 of the Plan year; and 

 

	2.	At all times during the three-year period ending on December 31 of the Plan year, the information provided by the firm shows, or Rogers Casey is able to calculate,
that such firm’s investment portfolio satisfies each of the following criteria: 

  

					
		 	 Duration:
	  	Effective Duration between 1.5 years and 5.0 years
		 	 Credit Quality Average
	  	= A, or = AA, or = AAA, or = AAA+
		 	 Convexity (%)
	  	>= -1
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	U.S. High Yield Corporate Debt <= 10%
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	Mortgages <= 60%
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Debt <= 60%
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	CMBS <= 60%
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	ABS <= 60%
		 	 Sector Allocation:
	  	Emerging Markets Debt <= 5%

  

	3.	The Company will have no discretion to alter the Investment Benchmark list after it is finalized by Rogers Casey. 

 EXHIBIT II 

DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE RANKING AND PERFORMANCE SCORES 
 Once all the total returns are calculated, the data is sorted in descending order from highest to lowest total return. From here, the process to compute the Performance Factor is as follows (this Exhibit
shows the procedures and related calculations for the 1-year comparison period required by the Plan; the calculations for the 3-year comparison period would follow the same procedures, except that necessary adjustments would be made to determine the
top and bottom 25% levels and the performance score variances between those levels): 
 INTERPOLATED VALUES FOR SETTING TOP AND BOTTOM 15%
LEVELS 
 The top 15% and bottom 15% total return rankings are computed based on the total number of firms in the Investment Benchmark, excluding
the PCM Fixed-Income Portfolio return. For example, if there were 279 participants, the return required to earn a 2.0 portfolio performance factor would be determined by interpolating between the forty-first and forty-second firm’s returns,
since 15% of 279 = 41.85. The same procedure would be used to determine the 0.0 portfolio performance factor. 
 The total returns, computed by
Investment Accounting, for the interpolated positions are calculated as follows (continuing to use an example of 279 survey firms): 
 Interpolated Value = Firm 41 return – ((Firm 41 Return – Firm 42 Return)*0.85) 
 Firm 41 = 18.35% 
 Firm 42 = 18.23% 

Firm 41.85 (Interpolated Value) = 18.35% – ((18.35%-18.23%)*0.85) = 18.25%. 

In this case, the PCM Performance Factor will equal 2.0 if its total return equals the interpolated value for Firm 41.85 of 18.25%. A similar calculation
is then used to determine the bottom 15% group and interpolated value for a 0.0 performance score. 
 Once the two groups are computed, top and
bottom 15%, the remainder of the performance scores are calculated as follows: 
 Performance score variance = (2.00) /
Number of positions from first participant after the top 15% ranking to the 1st participant in the bottom 15% ranking. In the case of 279 participants, the number of positions to divide the 2.00 performance factors by would be 198. 

The calculation for the performance score variance from 2.00 – 0.00 would be: 

2.00 / 198 = .010101 per position for 279 firms 
 In the case of a tie in total returns between firms, each firm will have the same performance score, one step under the next higher position. The next lowest position would then be stepped down by a
factor based on the number of participants who tie. In the case of a tie between two firms, the step down will be twice the performance score variance to maintain the proper stepping to the 0.00

 
performance score level. 
 Example: If firms 42 and 43 each had the same
total return in the 279 firm example, then firms 42 and 43 would each have a Performance Factor of 1.989899, which is 2.00 – .0010101. The number 44 position in this example would have a performance score of 1.969697, which is the required step
down from 42 to 44. 
 In addition, if the returns are tied between the interpolated value set for the 2.00 performance score and any position
below the 2.00 level, those lower positions will also be set to a 2.00 performance score. The step down factor in the performance score will work similarly as noted in the example above. For the last 15% group, all firms with total returns equaling
the last interpolated total return value would have the same performance score as the last interpolated value (.0101012), and all others in the last 15% group would have a 0.00 Portfolio Performance Factor. 

Once all the performance scores have been created, from 2.00 to 0.00, PCM’s return is compared to the rankings to determine its Performance Factor.
If the PCM return is not in the top or bottom 15% and does not match the return of any participant, then PCM’s Performance Factor is an interpolated value between the firms with the next highest and next lowest returns. 

The interpolation computation for the Performance Factor based on PCM’s return is as follows: 

Performance score of firm below PCM return + (PCM’s Return – Return below PCM) / (Return above PCM – Return below PCM) *
(Performance score of firm above PCM – Performance score of firm below PCM) 
 Assuming the following data, using the 279 firm example:

  

									
	 Firm
	  	Performance score	 	  	Total return	 
	 Firm above PCM
	  	 	.90	  	  	 	13.61	  
	 PCM
	  				  	 	13.39	  
	 Firm below PCM
	  	 	.89	  	  	 	13.34	  

 The calculation of PCM’s Performance Factor is: 

0.89 + (13.39-13.34) / (13.61-13.34) * (0.90-0.89) = 0.89 
 The final performance score is rounded to the nearest one-hundredth, if necessary.
