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
Adjustments and Prorations 6.1 The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at the Closing between SCOLP, Owner and Contributor. The adjustments and prorations will be made by a cash payment and shall not be an adjustment to the Units to be issued at Closing.
(a) Real estate taxes and personal property taxes which are a lien upon or levied against any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date (other than current taxes), and all special assessments levied on any portion of the Project prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date. Current real estate and personal property taxes and assessments shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date on a calendar year basis, understanding that real estate taxes in the State of Florida are payable in arrears. Such proration shall be made on the basis of the amount of real estate and personal property taxes for the current year if and to the extent that the taxing authorities have issued statements therefor, but otherwise based on real estate taxes assessed for the current tax year plus an estimated increase of 5%. Real estate taxes and personal property taxes levied against any portion of the Project and applicable to the period after the Contribution Date shall be prorated and adjusted between the parties on a calendar year basis and shall be paid by Contributor or SCOLP, as the case may be.
(b) The amount of all unpaid water and other utility bills for the Project which are not directly billed to the tenants of the Project, and all other operating and other expenses incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period prior to the Contribution Date, shall be paid by Owner or Contributor on or prior to the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such unpaid expenses shall be part of the cash adjustment at Closing. The amount of all prepaid water and other utility bills for the Project, and all other operating and other expenses to be incurred with respect to the Project and Owner, and relating to the period after and including the Contribution Date, shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.
(c) Charges under Project Contracts (as defined below) attributable to the period prior to the Contribution Date shall be paid by Owner or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, the amount due shall be reserved in cash within the Owner as of the Contribution Date. Prepaid charges under Project Contracts attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to Contributor on the Contribution Date.
(d) All rental and other revenues collected by Owner up to the Contribution Date which are allocable to the period prior to the Contribution Date, including without limit pass-through and pass-on charges, shall become a part of the disbursement from Owner to the Holding Company (and then from the Holding Company to Contributor) made pursuant to Section 6.2 below.
(e) Prepaid revenue received by the Owner attributable to the period after and including the Contribution Date including, without limit, tenant rents, pass-through charges, pass-on charges, water and other periodic revenues (the “Rents”) for the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), and Rents not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), shall be prorated on an accrual basis. SCOLP shall either pay the Contributor or provide the Contributor with a credit for (x) all unpaid Rents from tenants who are not delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project); and (y) the pro rata share of the total unpaid Rents for the Closing Month based upon the number of days in such month. SCOLP shall be paid or shall receive a credit for the pro rata share of the collected Rents received for the Closing Month. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP and Contributor shall mutually agree as to the amount to be paid or credited to Contributor, if any, for Rents delinquent more than thirty days as of the Closing Date (for those residents which remain in occupancy at the Project), based upon the likelihood of collecting such Rents. In the event the parties are unable to agree, the Owner shall apply any payments received during the period between the Closing Date and the date which is ninety days after the Closing Date, first to the cost of collecting such payments, then to the most recent charges due and, thereafter, to unpaid charges due prior to Closing. Any payments received after the ninetieth day after Closing shall not be subject to pro ration. Contributor shall have no further rights following Closing with respect to such Rents. In addition to the foregoing, SCOLP shall also pay or provide Contributor with a credit for the amount of accrued but unpaid utility fees due from the tenants with respect to periods prior to Closing. To the extent any Rents allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date are collected after Closing, they shall remain the property of the Owner and/or SCOLP, and shall not be paid to or distributed to the Contributor. The Owner shall not distribute or assign to the Contributor and the Contributor shall not have the right to seek collection, through litigation or otherwise, of unpaid Rents. Any eviction actions which are on-going as of the Closing Date and the expense of any legal fees associated with such eviction actions incurred on and after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Owner after Closing and shall not be charged to Contributor. Sums received on account of such litigation shall also remain the property of the Owner and shall not be paid to the Contributor or otherwise subject to proration.
(f) An amount equal to all expenses of the Project which were paid prior to the Contribution Date and for which Owner will benefit after the Contribution Date shall be disbursed or credited to Contributor at the Closing.
(g) All compensation, fringe benefits and other amounts due the employees of Owner or the manager of the Project for the period prior to the Contribution Date, whether as hourly pay, salaries, overtime, bonus, vacation or sick pay, severance pay, pensions or otherwise, and all amounts due for the payment of employment taxes with respect thereto, shall be paid by Owner on or prior to the Contribution Date, or, if not paid, an amount equal to such entire unpaid liability shall be paid in cash at Closing.
(h) All costs and expenses incurred by Owner, the Holding Company or Contributor prior to the Contribution Date in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, attorney and other professional fees, the Acquisition Loan, and the costs and expenses payable by Owner, Holding Company or Contributor hereunder (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses specified in Section 19.1 to be paid by Contributor), shall be paid by Contributor and shall not be charged to, or the responsibility of SCOLP.
(i) The amount of all escrows and reserves required under the Mortgage Documents which are on deposit on the Contribution Date shall be paid by SCOLP to the Contributor on the Contribution Date or, if not paid, an amount equal to such escrows and reserves shall be credited to Contributor in connection with the cash adjustment at Closing.
(j) In the event any rental discounts, leasing incentives or other credits, incentives or obligations have been provided to any of the occupants at the Project for any reason, and the same have not been fully satisfied by Closing, SCOLP shall be entitled to a credit or payment at Closing in the amount of such discounts, incentives or obligations. In all events, all debts, obligations, charges, liabilities and liens with respect to the Project shall be fully paid and satisfied or credited or paid to SCOLP on the Contribution Date, except only the Existing Mortgage and the lien for taxes not yet due and payable.
6.2 On or prior to the Contribution Date, Contributor (directly or indirectly through the Holding Company) shall be entitled to a distribution from Owner in an amount equal to all of the cash and cash equivalent assets held by Owner as of the Contribution Date, after deduction for any and all costs, expenses and prorations payable by or chargeable against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities hereunder. The Owner shall not distribute any other right, claim, cause of action or asset after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
6.3 If within ninety (90) days after the Closing either SCOLP or Contributor discovers any inaccuracies or errors in the pro rations or adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Sections 6.1 and/or 6.2, such party shall notify the other party of such inaccuracy or error by written notice including reasonable detail of the appropriate calculation. The parties shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any issues with respect to delinquent revenue and the prorations and adjustments done at Closing pursuant to Section 6.1. After the parties resolve any such issues or, in the event the parties are unable to resolve issues, a final judgment has been rendered with respect to such matter without timely appeal or after all appeals timely made are fully resolved, SCOLP and Contributor shall promptly take all action and pay all sums necessary so that such pro rations and adjustments shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the obligations of either party to pay any such amount shall survive the Contribution Date. Prorations and adjustments to prorations are not subject to, or included within, the Minimum Amount or Maximum Amount set forth in Section 7.3(d).
