(b)for the purpose of calculating the contribution payable in respect of him under section 9 and section 22 of the Act, references therein to the average annual amount of the salary and emoluments of a civil servant's, or a nominator's office, shall be construed as references to the average annual amount of the salary and emoluments received by the officer during the last three years of his service as a civil servant, and references therein to reckonable service shall be construed as references to service which is reckonable for the purposes of section 3 of the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, etc.) Act, 1911.

(b)the contribution payable in respect of him under section 9 and section 22 of the Act shall be calculated as though the references in subsection (3) of section 9 and in subsection (3) of section 22 to the average annual amount of the salary and emoluments of the civil servant's, or of the nominator's office, during the last three years of his service were references to the annual amount of the salary and emoluments last received by him in respect of his employment as a civil servant.

9.  Where an officer to whom this part of these Rules applies dies while still serving as a Governor without having made an election in accordance with Rule 6 hereof, the provisions of Rule 8 hereof shall apply to his case as if he had elected, before his death, to receive a pension under section 2 of the Pensions (Governors of Dominions, etc.) Act, 1929.

10.  When an officer has made contributions under section 7 or section 20 of the Act before becoming employed as a Governor, none of those contributions shall be returned to him upon his ceasing to be employed as a civil servant in order to be appointed a Governor.
