Escalation Procedure Tentative Rates for those species and products listed in A4a are subject to quarterly escalation in accordance with the following pro- cedures: The calendar quarter index average for each price index described in A5 is the arithmetic average of the three such monthly price indices preceding January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. The difference between calendar quarter index average and Base Index listed in A4a shall be the basis for quarterly escalation. To arrive at Current Contract Rates for timber Scaled during the preceding calendar quarter, Tentative Rates for each species shall be reduced or increased by such difference, except when the calendar quarter index average is:
(a) Less than the Base Index, the reduction shall not result in a rate below Base Rate or
(b) Greater than the Base Index, the increase shall not exceed the difference between Tentative Rate and Base Rate. In the event of Contract Term Extension, the escala- tion procedure will be used during the extension period, except that adjusted payment rates for any calendar quar- ter cannot be less than Tentative Rates, for each species and product group, established under B8.23 for the ex- tension period.

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.

Grievance Definitions A grievance shall be defined as any difference arising out of an interpretation, application, administration or alleged violation of this Collective Agreement. A grievance shall be categorized as follows:
(a) an individual grievance is a dispute affecting one (1) Employee. Such grievance shall be initiated at Step 1 of the grievance procedure as outlined in Clause 8.05 except in cases of suspension which will commence at Step 2 or dismissal which will commence at Step 3; or
(b) a group grievance is a dispute affecting two (2) or more Employees. Such grievance shall be initiated at Step 2 and processed there from in the same manner as an individual grievance as outlined in Clause 8.05. A group grievance shall list all Employees affected by the grievance and the results of such grievance shall apply, proportionately if applicable, to all Employees listed on the original grievance; or
(c) a policy grievance is a dispute between the Parties which, due to its nature, is not properly the subject of an individual or group grievance. Such grievance shall be initiated, in writing, within twenty (20) days of the date the aggrieved Party first became aware of or reasonably should have become aware of the event leading to the grievance. If the policy grievance is a Union grievance, it shall commence at Step 2. If the policy grievance is an Employer grievance, it shall be directed to the Union President and the President shall render a written reply within five (5) days of receipt. Upon receipt of response or failure to reply, the Employer may advance the grievance to arbitration. Notwithstanding Clause 8.01(a), (b) and (c) and Clause 8.05 the Parties may mutually agree to advance the grievance to a subsequent step in the grievance process. In the event any management officers as named in the grievance steps are one and the same, the subsequent steps will be deemed to have been complied with.
