Exhibit B

Price Adjustment Formula for annual inflation

The following price adjustment formula shall be calculated for all products The effective price will be calculated every twelve (12) months in the fourth quarter of the current year for application on January 1st of the upcoming year. The annual inflation adjustment will only be applicable when inflation is at, or exceeds, * annually. If inflation is less than * there will be no price adjustment as a result of inflation.

Inflation will be reviewed annually in the forth quarter of each year using Series ID number CUUR0000SA0 (Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers) as published by the Bureau of Labour Statistics to determine the annual inflation adjustment.

The following formula(s) and table will be used to calculate the inflation adjustment (if applicable)

Price eff = Price × IC

“Price eff” means the effective price for the upcoming calendar year. Inclusive of the Base Price, and any applicable inflation adjustment. Effective Price does not include the “Cost Element” Adjustment. The Effective price in any year will become the Base Price in the following year.

“Base Price” means the current annual price (less any adjustments resulting from the “Cost Element Adjustment” for raw materials price adjustments as described in paragraph in SBP Attachment 1 Paragraph 1.03 .

IC    =        Inflationary Component

IC    = *

Where: IC n = Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers” (Series ID CUUR0000SA0) Average Value for the current year n (October n-1 through September n).

And IC n-1 = Consumer Price Index for “All Urban Consumers” (Series ID CUUR0000SA0) Average Value for the prior year n-1 (October n-2 through September n-1).
