Expert Determination If a Dispute relates to any aspect of the technology underlying the provision of the Goods and/or Services or otherwise relates to a financial technical or other aspect of a technical nature (as the Parties may agree) and the Dispute has not been resolved by discussion or mediation, then either Party may request (which request will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) by written notice to the other that the Dispute is referred to an Expert for determination. The Expert shall be appointed by agreement in writing between the Parties, but in the event of a failure to agree within ten (10) Working Days, or if the person appointed is unable or unwilling to act, the Expert shall be appointed on the instructions of the relevant professional body. The Expert shall act on the following basis: he/she shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall act fairly and impartially; the Expert's determination shall (in the absence of a material failure to follow the agreed procedures) be final and binding on the Parties; the Expert shall decide the procedure to be followed in the determination and shall be requested to make his/her determination within thirty (30) Working Days of his appointment or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and the Parties shall assist and provide the documentation that the Expert requires for the purpose of the determination; any amount payable by one Party to another as a result of the Expert's determination shall be due and payable within twenty (20) Working Days of the Expert's determination being notified to the Parties; the process shall be conducted in private and shall be confidential; and the Expert shall determine how and by whom the costs of the determination, including his/her fees and expenses, are to be paid.
Market Adjustment The parties to this Agreement recognize the appropriateness of market pay adjustments in rare instances for compelling reasons. To effectuate judgments in such cases, the President and AAUP Chapter President, in consultation, shall each name three (3) individuals to a university Market Evaluation Committee. Deans may submit recommendations for market pay adjustments with supporting written reasons to the Committee. Said Committee shall consult with the President concerning proposed market pay adjustments reporting its advice not later than May 15 in each year. Upon the favorable recommendation of the President and the BOR President, market pay adjustments may be approved effective at the beginning of that pay period including September 1 of the following year. Not more than one (1) market pay adjustment per one hundred (100) full-time members, or fraction thereof, may be recommended in any contract year. A member’s salary may not be increased beyond the maximum for the rank. Funding for this program shall be governed by Article 12.10.2.
Interest Determination Dates The interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the particular “Interest Determination Date”, which will be: (1) with respect to the Federal Funds Open Rate—the related Interest Reset Date; (2) with respect to the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate—the Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate—the second Business Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the second U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date, provided, however, that if after attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate is not determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date, then such Interest Determination Date shall be the first U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the original interest determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can be determined; (5) with respect to LIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (6) with respect to the Treasury Rate—the day of the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the LIBOR Currency) in London.
INDEPENDENT PRICE DETERMINATION 6.1 By signing and submitting this bid, the Bidder certifies that the prices in this bid have been arrived at independently, without consultation, communication or agreement, for the purpose of restricting competition, as to any matter relating to such prices with any other Bidder or with any competitor; unless otherwise required by law, the prices which have been quoted in this bid have not been knowingly disclosed by the Bidder prior to bid opening directly or indirectly to any other Bidder or to any competitor; no attempt has been made, or will be made, by the Bidder to induce any person or firm to submit, or not to submit, a bid for the purpose of restricting competition.
CPI Adjustment At the end of the first Lease year (as hereinafter defined) and every Lease year thereafter (including any renewal periods) the Base Rental provided for in Paragraph 3 above shall be adjusted by adding to Base Rental the "Add-on Factor". The one (1) year periods are each hereinafter referred to as an "Adjustment Period". As used herein, the "Add- on Factor" shall mean the "Add-on Sum" minus "Net Base Rental"; "Add-on Sum" shall mean a sum determined by multiplying the "Net Base Rental" by the "Adjustment Factor"; "Net Base Rental" shall mean the Base Rental described above minus Initial Basic Cost, and "Adjustment Factor" shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the "CPI" published immediately preceding the applicable anniversary date and the denominator of which is the "CPI" published immediately preceding the commencement date of the term of this Lease. "CPI" shall mean the United States Average (1982-84 '" 100), as published bi-monthly (or if the same shall no longer be published bi-monthly, on the most frequent basis available) by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor (but if such is subject to adjustment later, the later adjusted index shall be used). The Adjusted Rental shall be the new Base Rental of the Premises effective as of the first day of the applicable Adjustment Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing calculation, the yearly percentage rent adjustment pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall in no event be less than FIVE percent (5%) per year. Tenant shall continue payment of the Base Rental in effect for the expiring Adjustment Period until notified by Landlord of any increase in such Base Rental. Such notification shall include a memorandum showing the calculations used by Landlord in determining the new Base Rental. On the first day of the calendar month immediately succeeding receipt of such notice, Tenant shall commence payment of the new Base Rental spedfied in the notice, and shall also pay to Landlord with respect to the month(s) already expired, the excess of the required monthly rentals spedfied in the notice over the monthly amounts actually paid by Tenant.
Adjustment Procedure (a) Prior to Closing, Company has caused to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a certificate signed by Company’s chief financial officer containing a calculation of Company’s estimation of (i) the Working Capital as of the close of Company’s business on the day immediately preceding the Closing, and (ii) the Adjustment Amount, if any, (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement”). As required by Section 2.2 of this Agreement, the cash portion of the Purchase Price to be paid in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i) of this Agreement will (x) be decreased by the estimated Adjustment Amount if the estimated Adjustment Amount is below US $1.00 and (y) remain unchanged (subject to future adjustments pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) if the estimated Adjustment Amount is greater than US $1.00. For purposes of preparation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement the Remaining Inter-Company Receivable as of the Closing Date shall be deemed to be $0.
(b) Buyer will prepare (or cause to be prepared) a working capital statement (“Closing Working Capital Statement”) of Company as of the Closing Date, including a computation of the Working Capital as of the Closing Date. Buyer will deliver the Closing Working Capital Statement to Parent within sixty (60) consecutive days after the Closing Date. The Working Capital shall be deemed accepted and conclusive and binding, unless Parent shall give written notice to Buyer of the items with which Parent disagrees (“Disagreement Notice”) within twenty (20) consecutive days after the receipt by Parent of the Closing Working Capital Statement (or the due date thereof if not so delivered). The Disagreement Notice shall specify each item disagreed with by Parent (or Parent’s calculation thereof), the dollar amount of the disagreement. Buyer and Parent shall, during the twenty (20) consecutive days after receipt by Buyer of the Disagreement Notice, negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disagreements with respect to the Closing Working Capital Statement and Working Capital calculation. If at the end of such twenty (20) consecutive days, Buyer and Parent have been unable to resolve their disagreements, either Buyer or Parent may engage, on behalf of Buyer and Parent, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (or such other Person mutually agreed to in writing by the parties, the “Unaffiliated Firm”) to resolve the matters set forth in the Disagreement Notice. The Unaffiliated Firm shall (i) resolve the disagreement as to the Closing Working Capital Statement as promptly as possible after its engagement by the parties, but in any event the parties shall direct the Unaffiliated Firm to complete its findings and report within twenty (20) consecutive days after its engagement, (ii) thereby consider and resolve only those items in the Disagreement Notice which remain unresolved between Buyer and Parent, and (iii) shall otherwise employ such procedures as it, in it sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in the circumstances with regard to the time limit specified. The Unaffiliated Firm shall submit to Buyer and Parent a report of its review of the items in the Disagreement Notice as promptly as practicable and shall include in such report its determination of the Working Capital, which adjustments shall be no more favorable to Buyer than reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement, and no more favorable to Parent than reflected in the Disagreement Notice. The determinations so made by the Unaffiliated Firm shall be conclusive, binding on, and non-appealable by, the parties hereto. The fees and disbursements of the Unaffiliated Firm shall be borne one half by Parent and one half by Buyer.
(c) The parties hereto agree that for purposes of determining and comparing the Closing Working Capital Statement, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), with the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement, an exchange ratio of US $0.5443 per UK £1 shall be used and that there will be no changes as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate.
(d) Within ten (10) Business Days after the Working Capital calculation becomes final and binding on the parties, (A) if the Working Capital is negative, Parent shall pay such Adjustment Amount to Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the extent such amount was not already deducted from the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and (B) if the Working Capital is positive, Buyer shall pay such Adjustment Amount to Parent by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
(e) For purposes of calculating Working Capital and the Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.6, the following items shall not be included in the calculation of current assets:
(i) Fees to be paid to the Company by Xxxxxxxxx 3G UK Limited pursuant to an oral agreement confirmed in an email dated October 21, 2004, for the provision of support and maintenance services for the month of October by the Company in the approximate net amount of £98,000;
(ii) Any amount of unreceived rent (approximately £37,000) to be returned to the Company upon renewal of the lease by Picochip, a subtenant in the Company offices located in Bath, England; and
(iii) The T-Mobile Receivable (as defined below).
(f) The parties acknowledge and agree that the receivable associated with the T-Mobile Bought Team October Services in the approximate amount of £145,000 (“T-Mobile Receivable”) has been excluded from the preparation of the Estimated Closing Working Capital Statement and shall be excluded from the preparation of the Closing Working Capital Statement. Buyer agrees to cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the T-Mobile Receivable in the same manner it collects its other accounts receivables. If the Company receives any payments with respect to the T-Mobile Receivable, Buyer shall pay Parent an amount equal to the amount Company received in respect of the T-Mobile Receivable (less reasonable collection costs, if any) within ten (10) consecutive days following the end of the month in which such payment is received, without interest.
Tax Adjustment Tenant shall pay, as Additional Charges, an amount (hereinafter referred to as the “Tax Adjustment Amount”) equal to Tenant’s Expense Share of the amount of Taxes incurred with respect to each Lease Year; except that Tenant shall be required to pay only a pro rata amount of the Tax Adjustment Amount for the Lease Years in which the first and last days of the Term occur pro rated on a per diem basis. Tenant shall not, however, have any right to audit Landlord’s books and records pertaining to Taxes. The Tax Adjustment Amount with respect to each Lease Year shall be paid in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during such Lease Year, commencing on the Commencement Date, in an amount estimated from time to time by Landlord and communicated by written notice to Tenant. Following receipt of actual tax bills, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth (i) the actual Tax Adjustment Amount for such Lease Year; (ii) the total of the estimated monthly installments of the Tax Adjustment Amount paid to Landlord for such Lease Year; and (iii) the amount of any excess or deficiency with respect to such Lease Year. Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord as shown by such statement within 30 days after receipt of such statement. If the total of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Lease Year exceeds the actual Tax Adjustment Amount due from Tenant for such Lease Year, at Landlord’s option such excess shall be either credited against payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder.
Supervisory Differential Adjustment The Appointing Officer shall adjust the compensation of a supervisory employee whose compensation grade is set herein subject to the following conditions:
Termination Date Determination Seller will not designate the Termination Date (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement.
Additional Adjustment If, in Dealer’s commercially reasonable judgment, the actual cost to Dealer (or an affiliate of Dealer), over any [10] consecutive Scheduled Trading Day period, of borrowing a number of Shares equal to the Number of Shares to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure to the Transaction exceeds a weighted average rate equal to [25] basis points per annum, the Calculation Agent shall reduce the Forward Price to compensate Dealer for the amount by which such cost exceeded a weighted average rate equal to [25] basis points per annum during such period. The Calculation Agent shall notify Counterparty prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward Price. Extraordinary Events: In lieu of the applicable provisions contained in Article 12 of the Equity Definitions, the consequences of any Extraordinary Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Merger Event, Tender Offer, Nationalization, Insolvency, Delisting, or Change In Law) shall be as specified below under the headings “Acceleration Events” and “Termination Settlement” in Paragraphs 7(f) and 7(g), respectively. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, no Additional Disruption Event will be applicable except to the extent expressly referenced in Paragraph 7(f)(iv) below. The definition of “Tender Offer” in Section 12.1(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing “10%” with “15%.” Dividends: No adjustment shall be made if, on any day occurring after the Trade Date, Counterparty declares a distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (i) any cash dividend (other than an Extraordinary Dividend) to the extent all cash dividends having an ex-dividend date during the period from and including any Forward Price Reduction Date (with the Trade Date being a Forward Price Reduction Date for purposes of this clause (i) only) to but excluding the next subsequent Forward Price Reduction Date differs from, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period on Schedule I, (ii) share capital or securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Counterparty as a result of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other assets, for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price as determined by Dealer.
