Conversion Price Adjustments The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution with respect to its Company Common Stock exclusively in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Company Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Debentures thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Debentures been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification (or immediately after the record date if a record date shall have been established for such event). If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Debenture thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes or series of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes or series of capital stock. In the event that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or issuance is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(b) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are Outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Company Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price for the Debentures shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Company Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of Company Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this subsection in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.
(c) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Company Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subparagraph (b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section 13.4), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (c) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (the "Reference Date") less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. For purposes of this subparagraph (c), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Company Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets other than such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this subparagraph (c)) immediately followed by (ii) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any further conversion price reduction required by subparagraph (a) or (b)), except (A) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this subparagraph shall be substituted as (x) "the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution," and (y) "the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and (z) "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subparagraphs (a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Company Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding for purposes of computing any adjustment of the conversion price in subparagraph (a).
(d) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Company Common Stock exclusively in cash (excluding (i) all cash dividends, if the amount thereof does not exceed the per share amount of the immediately preceding regular cash dividend (as adjusted to reflect any of the events referred to in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section and (ii) all cash dividends, if the annualized amount thereof per share of Company Common Stock does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such dividend), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution less the amount of cash so distributed (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above) applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the record date mentioned above (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of shares of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each share of the Debentures immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the cash (less that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above). In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the conversion price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(e) In case a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot offer) made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Company Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of consideration per share of Company Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time (including the Purchased Shares) (as defined below) multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") (excluding that portion of such consideration that does not exceed 110% of the Current Market Price per share) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that such tender or exchange offer is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(f) If the distribution date for the Rights of the Company provided in any stockholder rights agreement occurs prior to the Conversion Date, and a Holder of the Debentures who converts such Debentures after such distribution date is not entitled to receive the Rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the date of conversion) to the shares of Company Common Stock received upon such conversion, then an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 13.4(a) as if the Rights were being distributed to Company Common Stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such conversion. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event.
(g) The Company shall have the right to reduce from time to time the Conversion Price by any amount selected by the Company for any period of at least 30 days; provided, that Company shall give at least 15 days' written notice of such reduction to the Trustee and the Property Trustee. The Company may, at its option, make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those set forth above in Section 13.4(a), as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Company Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for United States Federal income tax purposes.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.4, no adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock), except as specifically provided above, including pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Company Common Stock under any such plan, or the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee benefit plan or program of the Company or pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security which does not constitute an issuance to all holders of Company Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling holders of such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Company Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price. Further, such issuances shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Company Common Stock or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible securities by the Company to which any of the adjustment provisions described above applies. There shall also be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of the Company except as specifically described in this Article 13. No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price, but any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in a subsequent adjustment.
(i) If any action would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value to the Holder of the Debentures.
Adjustment of Conversion Price The Conversion Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall:
(i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of such shares; or
(ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of such shares; the Conversion Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation, as the case may be, shall in the case of the events referred to in (i) above, be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision or change, or shall, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation in each case by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such effective date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such date. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 7.1(a) shall occur;
(b) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to Section 7.4) of such rights, options or warrants, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price provided that
(i) any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;
(iii) to the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be;
(c) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class, whether of the Corporation or any other corporation (including stock dividends), (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 7.1(b)); (iii) evidences of its indebtedness or (iv) assets (including cash) of the Corporation, then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Directors, subject to Section 7.4 of such shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed, and of which the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Twenty Day Weighted Average Trading Price provided that:
(i) Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation;
(ii) such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed;
(iii) to the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be;
(d) if and whenever at any time during the Adjustment Period, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation other than as described in Section 7.1(a) or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, the Holder shall, upon the exercise of the Conversion Right, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of shares then sought to be acquired by it, the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation, or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that the Holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance, if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares sought to be acquired by it and to which it was entitled to acquire upon the exercise of the Conversion Right and a contemporaneous and equal adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price;
(e) in any case in which Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) require that an adjustment be made to the Conversion Price, no such adjustment shall be made if, subject to the prior approval of applicable stock exchanges the Holder receives the rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 7.1(b) or the share rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets referred to in Section 7.1(c), as the case may be, in such kind and number as it would have received if it had been a holder of Common Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of the Principal Sum having then been converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect on the applicable record or effective date, as the case may be;
(f) the adjustments provided for in this Section 7.1 are cumulative, and shall, in the case of adjustments to the Conversion Price be computed to the nearest whole cent and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 7.1.
(g) if, in the opinion of the Directors, the provisions of this Section 7.1 are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the rights of the Holder in accordance with the intent and purposes hereof, the Directors shall make any adjustment in such provisions for the benefit of the Holder as the Directors deem appropriate.
Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided:
(1) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 12.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and
(2) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Securities desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such a certificate. Until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee and each Conversion Agent may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge of remains in effect.
Price Adjustments 17.1 Prices for Goods/Services supplied in terms of this Agreement shall be subject to review as indicated in the Schedule of Requirements/Works Order annexed hereto.
17.2 No less than 2 [two] months prior to any proposed Price adjustment, the Parties shall commence negotiations for Prices for the next period or as otherwise indicated in Schedule 1 hereto. The Parties shall have regard for market-related pricing of equivalent goods, continuous improvement initiatives, costs [including labour, raw materials and transport/delivery], order size and frequency and changes to the specification of the Goods/Services.
17.3 Pursuant to clause 17.2 above, the Supplier/Service Provider shall keep full and accurate records of all costs associated with the supply of the Goods/Services to Transnet, in a form to be approved in writing by Transnet. The Supplier/Service Provider shall produce such records to Transnet for inspection at all reasonable times on request and such records may, at Transnet's option, be audited by Transnet or its designated representatives.
17.4 Should Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider fail to reach an agreement on Price for the successive period, either Party shall be entitled to submit this matter to dispute resolution in accordance with clause 32 of the Master Agreement [Dispute Resolution].
17.5 If during the period of this Agreement Transnet can purchase similar Goods/Services of a like quality from another supplier at a total delivered cost to a Transnet facility that is lower than the total delivered cost of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder from the Supplier/Service Provider, Transnet may notify the Supplier/Service Provider of such total delivered cost and the Supplier/Service Provider shall have an opportunity to adjust the Price of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder, on such a basis as to result in the same total delivered cost to Transnet, within 30 [thirty] calendar days of such notice. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from such other supplier in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; (ii) terminate this Agreement without any penalty, liability or further obligation; or (iii) continue purchases under this Agreement.
17.6 If during the period of this Agreement the Supplier/Service Provider sells any materials which are the same as, equivalent to, or substantially similar to the Goods/Services herein, at a total delivered cost to a third party lower than the total delivered cost to a Transnet facility, then the Supplier/Service Provider has an opportunity to adjust its Price for the Goods/Services purchased hereunder within 30 [thirty] calendar days so that the Price is the same or lower than the total delivered cost of such third party. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from any other such supplier, in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; or
Purchase Price Adjustments (a) Schedule 2.4 sets forth the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) as of September 30, 2013, together with a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price based on such estimate. The Estimated Net Working Capital shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.6 and the other terms of this Agreement.
(b) As promptly as possible, but in any event within forty five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will deliver to the Seller a balance sheet of the Company (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement showing the calculation of the Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Preliminary Closing Statement”), in each case as of the Reference Time. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and the Net Working Capital and the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be determined, in accordance with Section 2.6 and the definitions and other terms set forth in this Agreement. The Preliminary Closing Statement shall contain line item detail comparable to the Balance Sheet with respect to the components of Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Reference Time. After delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Buyer shall give the Seller and its accountants and representatives reasonable access at reasonable times to review the Company’s books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Closing Statement subject to customary confidentiality restrictions. The Seller and its accountants and representatives may make inquiries of the Buyer and its accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Closing Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and the Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered by the Seller to the Buyer within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Preliminary Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The Seller and the Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, but if they do not reach a final resolution, the Seller and the Buyer shall submit such dispute to PricewaterhouseCoopers, or if they are not independent pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time, another nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”) within three (3) Business Days following the end of the fifteen (15)-day period from the date of the delivery of the Objections Statement. Any further submissions to the Dispute Resolution Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall consider work papers and other documents and information related to those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement as being items which the Seller and the Buyer are unable to resolve. The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination will be based on the definition of Net Working Capital and the other definitions and terms contained herein and shall be in amounts between the disputed amounts set forth in the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Objections Statement. The Seller and the Buyer shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of any dispute. Further, the Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by the Buyer and the Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be, absent manifest error, final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be allocated fifty percent (50%) to the Buyer and fifty percent (50%) to the Seller.
(c) If the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above is greater than the Target Working Capital, the Buyer shall promptly pay to the Seller the amount of such excess in cash. If the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.4(b) above is less than the Target Working Capital (such amount, the “Working Capital Deficiency”), the Seller and the Buyer shall promptly cause an amount equal to the Working Capital Deficiency to be paid to the Buyer from the Working Capital Escrow Amount; provided, however, that if the Working Capital Deficiency is in excess of the Working Capital Escrow Amount (such excess amount, the “Working Capital Indemnity Amount”), then the Buyer may elect to seek indemnification for the Working Capital Indemnity Amount either (i) from the Indemnity Escrow Amount or (ii) directly from the Seller. The net adjustment amount payable to the Seller or the Buyer under this Section 2.4(c) (such amount, the “Net Adjustment Amount”) shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.5.
Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:
(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with Section 14.04 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer or other appropriate officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with the Conversion Agent at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.02; and
(b) a notice stating that the conversion price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be delivered electronically or mailed by the Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register.
Adjustment of Conversion Rate The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 9.04, without having to convert their Notes as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the Principal Amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date or immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable; OS0 = the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date or immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and OS1 = the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. Any adjustment made under this Section 9.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula: where, CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution; CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on such Record Date; OS0 = the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date;
Adjustments to Conversion Price (a) If the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivide the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased, and if the Company shall at any time while this Debenture is outstanding combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price then in effect immediately before that combination shall be proportionately increased. Except as otherwise provided below, any adjustment under this Section 5.3 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. A dividend on any security of the Company payable in Common Stock, or a split of the Company's Common Stock, shall be considered a subdivision of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such dividend or stock split. A reverse split of the Company's Common Stock shall be considered a combination of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.3 at the close of business on the record date with respect to such reverse stock split.
(b) In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution with respect to the Company's Common Stock payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event, provisions shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon conversion hereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Company which he would have received had this Debenture been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by him.
(c) If while this Debenture is outstanding, the Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock of the Company, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or other exchange (other than a subdivision or combination of shares, or a capital reorganization, merger or sale of assets, provided for elsewhere in this Section 5.3), the Holder shall, upon the conversion of this Debenture, be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Shares which the Holder would have become entitled to receive but for such change, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that would have been subject to receipt by the Holder if he had exercised his right of conversion of this Debenture immediately before that change.
(d) If while this Debenture is outstanding, there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such merger, consolidation or sale, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of this Debenture, during the period specified in this Debenture, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation or sale, to which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon conversion of this Debenture would have been entitled on such merger, consolidation or sale if this Debenture had been converted immediately before such merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5.3 with respect to the rights of the Holder after such merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Section 5.3 (including adjustments of the Conversion Price then in effect and number of shares purchasable upon conversion of this Debenture) shall continue to be applicable after that event and shall be as nearly equivalent to the provisions hereof as may be practicable.
(e) The Company shall promptly and in any case not later than ten (10) days after the date of any adjustment of the Conversion Price give written notice of such adjustment and the number of Shares or other securities issuable upon conversion of this Debenture, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered Holder at the Holder's address as shown on the Debenture Register. The certificate shall state such adjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which such adjustment is based.
(f) The form of this Debenture need not be changed because of any adjustment in the Conversion Price or in the number of Shares issuable upon its conversion. A Debenture issued after any adjustment on any partial conversion or upon replacement may continue to express the same Conversion Price and the same number of Shares (appropriately reduced in the case of partial conversion) as are stated on this Debenture as initially issued, and that Conversion Price and that number of Shares shall be considered to have been so changed as of the close of business on the date of the adjustment.
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Within 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth:
(i) the Buyer’s determination of the actual amounts of (A) the Adjustment Amount, including the Final Adjustment Amount Overage or the Final Adjustment Amount Underage (the “Final Adjustment Amount”), and (B) the Seller Indebtedness Amount, in each case as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date without taking into account any of the transactions to be completed on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Closing Payment based on such calculations (the adjusted Closing Payment as a result of such calculation being the “Final Closing Payment”); and
(iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”).
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence.
(c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence.
(d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution.
(e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
