For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adjusted IBIT”, as it applies to any particular year, means that amount for such year equal to the Employer’s Income Before Income Taxes, as determined by the Employer’s independent auditors, using generally accepted accounting principles, and reported in the Employer’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to such adjustments as are set forth in the Adjusted IBIT Performance Bonus Table for such year.
