Additional sensitivity tests Sample Clauses

Additional sensitivity tests. In additional tests (untabulated), we include an outside blockholder dummy as a control variable, because an outside blockholder has increased supervisory incentives due to his large stake in the firm. An outside blockholder is a shareholder who has at least 5% ownership in the firm and is not an officer, a director, an affiliated entity, or otherwise employed by the firm. The board-independence coefficient estimates are equal in magnitude to those obtained in our original regressions, but, because the blockholder database ends in 2001, our sample size sharply decreases to 350 observations with the inclusion of this variable, thereby increasing the standard errors of the board- independence coefficient estimates (resulting in t-statistics of -1.86 and -1.65, respectively, when using the Salary + Bonus and Total Compensation measures). As always, we use White standard errors adjusted for clustering by firm. Whether the outside blockholder dummy is included or not, compensation regressions within this reduced sample (of 350 observations) yield very similar board-independence coefficient estimates and standard errors. Furthermore, our results continue to hold under the following alternative specifications of our empirical tests (untabulated): calculating total compensation using the Black-Scholes value of options instead of converting them into their stock equivalents; estimating quantile regressions to reduce the influence of potential outliers; including the CEO’s first-year level of compensation as an additional control for CEO quality; adding squared values of our independent variables to capture possible nonlinearities; adjusting variables by the industry median (as opposed to adjusting by the mean); including an Other Provisions index in place of the Democracy and Dictatorship dummies (the Other Provisions index is equal to the GIM index minus one if the firm has a classified-board provision, and minus zero otherwise); and including the Bebchuk, Cohen, and Xxxxxxx (2004) index in place of the Classified-Board, Democracy, and Dictatorship dummies (the BCF index accrues one point for each of the following provisions: classified board, poison pill, golden parachute, limits to bylaw amendments, supermajority requirements for charter amendments, and supermajority requirements for mergers).

  • Screening Requirements Progenity shall ensure that all prospective and current Covered Persons are not Ineligible Persons, by implementing the following screening requirements. a. Progenity shall screen all prospective Covered Persons against the Exclusion List prior to engaging their services and, as part of the hiring or contracting process or medical staff credentialing process, shall require such Covered Persons to disclose whether they are Ineligible Persons. b. Progenity shall screen all current Covered Persons against the Exclusion List within 90 days after the Effective Date and on a monthly basis thereafter. c. Progenity shall implement a policy requiring all Covered Persons to disclose immediately if they become an Ineligible Person. Nothing in this Section III.H affects Progenity’s responsibility to refrain from (and liability for) billing Federal health care programs for items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by an excluded person. Progenity understands that items or services furnished, ordered, or prescribed by excluded persons are not payable by Federal health care programs and that Progenity may be liable for overpayments and/or criminal, civil, and administrative sanctions for employing or contracting with an excluded person regardless of whether Progenity meets the requirements of Section III.H.

  • ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONTRACT CONDITIONS Special Contract Conditions revisions: the corresponding subsections of the Special Contract Conditions referenced below are replaced in their entirety with the following:

  • Follow-up Testing An employee shall submit to unscheduled follow-up drug and/or alcohol testing if, within the previous 24-month period, the employee voluntarily disclosed drug or alcohol problems, entered into or completed a rehabilitation program for drug or alcohol abuse, failed or refused a preappointment drug test, or was disciplined for violating the provisions of this Agreement and Employer work rules. The Employer may require an employee who is subject to follow-up testing to submit to no more than six unscheduled drug or alcohol tests within any 12 month period.

  • Loop Testing/Trouble Reporting 2.1.6.1 Telepak Networks will be responsible for testing and isolating troubles on the Loops. Telepak Networks must test and isolate trouble to the BellSouth portion of a designed/non-designed unbundled Loop (e.g., UVL-SL2, UCL-D, UVL-SL1, UCL-ND, etc.) before reporting repair to the UNE Customer Wholesale Interconnection Network Services (CWINS) Center. Upon request from BellSouth at the time of the trouble report, Telepak Networks will be required to provide the results of the Telepak Networks test which indicate a problem on the BellSouth provided Loop. 2.1.6.2 Once Telepak Networks has isolated a trouble to the BellSouth provided Loop, and had issued a trouble report to BellSouth on the Loop, BellSouth will take the actions necessary to repair the Loop if a trouble actually exists. BellSouth will repair these Loops in the same time frames that BellSouth repairs similarly situated Loops to its End Users. 2.1.6.3 If Telepak Networks reports a trouble on a non-designed or designed Loop and no trouble actually exists, BellSouth will charge Telepak Networks for any dispatching and testing (both inside and outside the CO) required by BellSouth in order to confirm the Loop’s working status. 2.1.6.4 In the event BellSouth must dispatch to the end-user’s location more than once due to incorrect or incomplete information provided by Telepak Networks (e.g., incomplete address, incorrect contact name/number, etc.), BellSouth will xxxx Xxxxxxx Networks for each additional dispatch required to repair the circuit due to the incorrect/incomplete information provided. BellSouth will assess the applicable Trouble Determination rates from BellSouth’s FCC or state tariffs.
