The total projected costs of the Medical PPO for any calendar year will be determined based on data for all Company active employees and pre-Medicare retirees. (Total projected costs of the Medical PPO will be determined in the same manner as for Pre-Medicare retirees, pursuant to Section K.3.d. below.)
