<br /> (t) On each anniversary date of this agreement, the $60,000.00 equivalent will be
<br /> adjusted by multiplying $60,000.00 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the CPI-U for the
<br /> immediately preceding calendar year, and the denominator of which is the CPI-U for the year
<br /> 1993. The resulting number shall be the $60,000.00 equivalent for the year commencing on
<br /> said anniversary date. In the event the Consumer Price Index is discontinued, the Consumer
<br /> Price Index shall thereafter mean such index of prices published by the U.S. Government as
<br /> most nearly approximates the Consumer Price Index now published.
<br /> For Illustrative Purposes Only:
<br /> 1994 CPI-U = 121.5
<br /> represents a 6.2 % increase
<br /> 1993 CPI-U = 114.4
<br /> Example: If the amount of the $60,000.00 equivalent is $60,000.00 and the
<br /> increase required is 6.2 %, then the amount of escalation required
<br /> would be $3,720.00 ($60,000.00 x 6.2% = $3,720.00), and the
<br /> amount of the new $60,000.00 equivalent for the new year of the
<br /> Agreement would be $63,720.00 ($60,000.00 + $3,720.00).
