4. The Award.

As further clarification, Tradesmen will not reimburse nor provide payroll deductions for such personal costs except as set forth in the Taxation Paragraph below.
5. Competition. A Participant is eligible to receive an Award if the Participant’s Award Rank falls within the top 10 of the Award Ranks for all Participants. A Participant’s Award Rank is derived by comparing their average of total net sales and production hours to the average of total net sales and production hours of other respective Participants, and is determined as follows:
   1. Total Net Sales Rank. The Participant will receive a “Total Net Sales Rank” based upon the Participant’s total net sales position when compared with other Participant’s total net sales. Total Net Sales Ranks will be ranked in an ascending order with highest total net sales receiving a Total Net Sales Rank of 1, second highest total net sales receiving a Total Net Sales Rank of 2, and continuing all the way down to the lowest total net sales receiving a Total Net Sales Rank equal to the total number of Participants.
   2. Production Hours Rank. The Participant will receive a “Production Hours Rank” based upon the Participant’s production hours position when compared with other Participant production hours. Production Hours Ranks will be ranked in an ascending order with highest production hours receiving a Production Hours Rank of 1, second highest production hours receiving a Production Hours Rank of 2, and continuing all the way down to the lowest production hours receiving a Production Hours Rank equal to the total number of Participants.
   3. Ties. If one or more Participants have the same number of total net sales or production hours, the Total Net Sales Rank or Production Hours Rank will be divided between/among those Participants. For example, if three Participants tie for third place for total net sales, their Total Net Sales Rank would each equal 97 ((98 + 97 +96) ÷ 3), with the next Participant receiving a Total Net Sales Rank of 95 for sixth place.
   4. Award Rank. A Participant will receive an “Award Rank” based upon their Rank Average when compared with other Participant Rank Averages. A Participant’s “Rank Average” is calculated as follows:(total net sales Rank + production hours Rank) ÷ 2A Rank Average will be rounded to the nearest tenth with (0.05) rounded upwards. Rank Averages will be ranked in an ascending order with lowest Average Rank receiving an Award Rank of 1, second lowest receiving an Award Rank of 2, and continuing all the way down to the 10th lowest Average Rank.If one or more Participants have the same Average Rank, the tie will be broken by the highest total net sales.
   The top 5 Strategic Accounts Account Executives measured by Award Rank during the Contest Period shall be designated as “President’s Club Members.”The terms “total net sales” and “production hours” shall mean those terms as set forth on Accuterm (as same may be adjusted from time to time during the Contest Period).
