     an employee devotes to performing services on behalf of each company. For
     developing this estimate with respect to outside vendors, reference will be
     made primarily to the time or services rendered by the vendor on behalf of
     each company. Use of outside vendor services and allocation of their costs
     shall be agreed upon in advance by MEEMIC and ProNational.
