The Adjusted Economic Combined Ratio for the Award Period is calculated to the nearest one-tenth of one percent.  In the event that the Adjusted Economic Combined Ratio for the Award Period is not a whole percentage value, the Performance Percentage shall be determined by straight-line interpolation between the two successive whole Adjusted Economic Combined Ratio values from the table above.
