Fee Adjustment Fees as provided in this Agreement to be charged to residents of Joplin and the City pursuant to this Agreement may be adjusted based upon the AARC's change in costs subsequent to the previous adjustment. Any individual fee increases will be adjusted only to the extent of an increase in the Consumer Price Index (St. Louis -All Urban Consumers), utilizing the December 12 month period index from the previous year. If a fee increase request is in excess of the Consumer Price Index the city may request to review data on actual costs of each service if needed to document cost increases. In the event an adjustment to documented cost is warranted, AARC shall provide written notice thereof with supporting documentation, by no later than May 1 of each year. All increases shall be subject to annual appropriation by the Joplin City Council. City shall have thirty (30) days to review and request additional supporting documentation. In the event the parties are unable to agree to the cost adjustment, either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.
Price Adjustment Civil works contracts of long duration (more than 18 months) shall contain an appropriate price adjustment clause.
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.
Minimum Adjustment The adjustments required by the preceding sections of this Article IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made increases or decreases by at least 1% the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Article IV and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. In computing adjustments under this Article IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-hundredth of a share.
PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT If THE COMPANY overpays a reinsurance premium and THE REINSURER accepts the overpayment, THE REINSURER’s acceptance will not constitute or create a reinsurance liability or increase in any existing reinsurance liability. Instead, THE REINSURER will be liable to THE COMPANY for a credit in the amount of the overpayment. If a reinsured policy terminates, THE REINSURER will refund the excess reinsurance premium. This refund will be on a prorated basis without interest from the date of termination of the policy to the date to which a reinsurance premium has been paid.
Adjustments to Purchase Price At Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted (without duplication) in accordance with this Section 2.4. (a) The Purchase Price shall be increased by the following amounts: (i) the amount of all production expenses, operating expenses, third-party overhead expenses under applicable operating agreements, ad valorem and severance taxes, well bonds and capital expenditures actually paid by Seller in connection with the Assets, insofar and only insofar as the same are attributable to the period of time from and after the Effective Time, including, without limitation, (a) all operating costs and expenses paid by Seller, (b) all capital expenditures, including, without limitation, all drilling, completion, reworking, deepening, side-tracking, plugging and abandoning costs and expenses and paid by Seller, (c) all prepaid expenses and land related costs and expenses attributable to the Assets, including, without limitation, all bonus payments, royalty disbursements, delay rental payments, shut-in payments and other similar costs paid by Seller (provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall not be increased by land related expenses incurred by Seller in connection with Title Defect or Environmental Defect curative work), (d) excise, severance and production tax payments, and any other tax payments based upon or measured by the production of Sale Hydrocarbons or the proceeds of sale or other disposition therefrom paid by Seller and (e) expenses paid by Seller to any third party under applicable joint operating agreements or other contracts or agreements included in the Assets (with respect to which Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of the related invoices); (ii) an amount equal to the value of all Stock Hydrocarbons (it being understood that such value shall be calculated based on the reference prices set forth in Schedule 2.4(a)(ii) determined as of the Effective Time, less transportation costs, quality adjustment, if any, applicable taxes and royalty payments); (iii) the adjustment amount, if any, due Seller as determined pursuant to Section 11.1 with respect to Imbalances; (iv) by Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) if all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the RCVC Agreement are assigned to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and (v) any other amount specified herein or otherwise agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in writing. (b) The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the following amounts: (i) an amount equal to the net proceeds (the price at which the Hydrocarbons are sold after the Effective Time, less transportation costs, quality adjustment, if any, applicable taxes and royalty payments) received by Seller from the sale or other disposition of Sale Hydrocarbons and Stock Hydrocarbons; (ii) all actual production expenses, operating expenses, overhead under applicable operating agreements, taxes, and capital expenditures paid or incurred by Buyer in connection with the Assets (including, without limitation, royalties, minimum royalties, rentals, and prepaid charges, including, without limitation, prepaid taxes and prepaid insurance), to the extent they are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Assets (or to the Hydrocarbons produced and saved from, or allocable to, the Assets) before the Effective Time; (iii) an amount equal to all proceeds received by Seller from whatever source that relate to the sale of Assets and are attributable to periods after the Effective Time; (iv) the adjustment amount, if any, due Buyer as determined pursuant to Section 11.1 with respect to Imbalances; (v) if reductions due to the aggregate Title Defect Value is greater than the aggregate Title Benefit Value, as provided in Section 6, an amount equal to such difference; (vi) reductions due to Environmental Defects as provided in Section 7; (vii) reductions due to the exercise of Preferential Rights as provided for in Section 9.2 or the time for the exercise of such right has not expired by Closing, or for the Allocated Value of Assets for which consents to assignment have not been obtained by Closing; (viii) reductions due to Casualty Loss as provided in Section 11.3; (ix) Seller’s pro rata share of taxes as determined pursuant to Section 4.1; (x) reductions of the aggregate Allocated Values (without application of thresholds and deductibles) of Leases: (a) for which a consent for assignment has not been obtained by Closing and (b) which have an expiration date between execution of this Agreement and three (3) months after the Closing Date which have not been cured by an extension of such Lease for a period of time of not less than one (1) year; and (xi) any other amount specified herein or otherwise agreed upon by Seller and Buyer in writing.
FORCE ADJUSTMENT General 11.01 When any condition arises which reduces the work load to the extent that, in the Company's opinion, force adjustment is warranted, the following shall apply: (a) If the contemplated adjustment to the force would involve the lay-off of 50 or more Regular employees from the bargaining unit within a period of 30 days, or alternatively the spreading of the equivalent work by part-timing, the Company shall endeavour to reach agreement with the Union as to whether a plan of part-timing, lay-offs, or a combination of the two shall be put into effect. (b) If the contemplated adjustment to the work force is less extensive than that described in subsection 11.01 (a), the Company shall not resort to lay-off of Regular employees or part-timing of Regular Full-Time employees, except with the agreement of the Union. 11.02 In the event that an agreement as to a plan cannot be reached under subsection 11.01 (a) within a period of 30 calendar days after the matter has been submitted to the Union, the Company may proceed on a plan of lay-off to the extent it deems necessary. 11.03 It is expressly understood, however, that if the Company proceeds on a plan of lay-off at the expiration of the 30 day period or later as prescribed in this Article, negotiations toward an agreement relating to a force adjustment plan shall be resumed at any time at the request of either party. Similarly, after agreement has been reached as to a plan of force adjustment either party may resume negotiations at any time in an effort to obtain agreement upon modifications of the plan then in effect.
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.
Exercise Price Adjustment Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Exercise Price payable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately thereafter.
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.
