Royalty Adjustments The following adjustments shall be made, on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis, to the royalties payable pursuant to this Section 5.5:
True-Up Adjustments From time to time, until the Retirement of the Recovery Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need for True-Up Adjustments and shall take all reasonable action to obtain and implement such True-Up Adjustments, all in accordance with the following:
Tax Adjustments The Company may make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in addition to those required by Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
Cost Adjustments Both parties agree that contracted prices shall be fixed for the first 12 months of this Contract. Contractor must submit to District any proposed cost adjustments at least 60 days before the proposed effective date of such increases with a detailed explanation for each adjustment. District alone reserves the right to reject any changes to this Contract it deems unacceptable.
Other Adjustments (a) This section shall be considered to be in compliance with Title 3, Section 310(h).
(b) Nothing in Sections 14 or 15 shall prevent the Commissioner of Human Resources from subsequently lowering the hiring rate for one (1) or more classes; provided no employee shall be reduced in salary or step as a result.
(c) Any agency request to change a hiring rate under this section shall be in accordance with guidelines as may be established by the Commissioner of Human Resources.
(d) If the Commissioner of Human Resources wishes to grant more than a one (1) step increase for those persons at or above the new EOP, or increase the maximum of the grade for that class, the impact of such decision shall be negotiated for up to forty-five (45) calendar days with the VSEA. At the end of the forty-five (45) calendar day period, commencing with notice by the Commissioner of Human Resources, subject to the provisions of (e), below, the State may implement any proposed adjustment without further negotiations or recourse to the statutory impasse procedures, by either party.
(e) If a subsequent review of the Commissioner of Human Resources’ recommendation for a market factor adjustment by the Commissioner of Finance and Management and/or the Secretary of Administration results in a change to the proposed adjustment, the State shall negotiate the impact of the proposed adjustment with the VSEA for up to fifteen (15) calendar days. At the end of the fifteen (15) calendar day period commencing with notice by the Commissioner of Human Resources, the State may implement the adjustment without further negotiations or recourse to the statutory impasse procedures.
(f) Notwithstanding the recommendations of the Commissioner of Human Resources or the Commissioner of Finance and Management, the Secretary of Administration shall have the final authority to approve, deny or modify the recommendations (rates, timetables or classes affected) for adjustments, both initially and/or in any subsequent review subject only to any limitations provided in this agreement. The decision of the Secretary shall be final and not subject to negotiation or review in any forum, except to the extent that it is alleged that the Secretary has exceeded the parameters established by this agreement.
(g) If the Commissioner of Human Resources eliminates an MFA implemented prior to July 1, 1994, as a percentage differential, any affected employee will retain his/her then current rate of pay until his/her next step date, at which time (s)he shall be placed at the next higher regular step (without the MFA), unless the provisions of the MFA specify otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Human Resources Commissioner from establishing a new MFA with a built-in termination date or other limitation.
(h) Any Market Factor Adjustment in effect on July 4, 1992, shall be considered a temporary add-on only for the time an employee remains in that class. During the life of this Agreement, with the agreement of the VSEA, the State may implement Market Factor Adjustments for consideration other than hourly rate adjustments.
Wage Adjustments If the funding available to be used for wages provided by Government in any fiscal year increases, the Employer shall pass on such increases to employees consistent with the funding increase adjusted for any additional deficits that this contract incurs. This will be the case whether the funding increase is for the entire year or simply a portion of it, and wage increases shall be effective upon the effective date of the increased funding. Should there be no increase provided by Government, wages will be maintained at their present levels. Should there be a decrease in funding, then the Employer will maintain wages at present levels. The Employer will promptly provide the Union with any information it receives from the Government regarding funding available for wages, and the parties will meet as required to work towards cooperative resolution of any issues arising from this Government information.
Market Adjustments Neither this Article nor any other in this Collective Agreement prevents the Employer from using other funds to increase a Member’s salary in response to offers received from other employers or to accommodate other market forces.
Salary Adjustments At any time during the term of this Contract, the Board may, in its discretion, review and adjust the salary of the Superintendent, but in no event shall the Superintendent be paid less than the salary set forth in Section 3.1 of this Contract except by mutual agreement of the two parties. Such adjustments, if any, shall be made pursuant to a lawful Board resolution. In such event, the parties agree to provide their best efforts and reasonable cooperation to execute a new contract incorporating the adjusted salary.
Year-End Adjustment If necessary, on or before the last day of the first month of each fiscal year, an adjustment payment shall be made by the appropriate party in order that the actual Fund Operating Expenses of a Fund for the prior fiscal year (including any reimbursement payments hereunder with respect to such fiscal year) do not exceed the Operating Expense Limit.
CPI Adjustment If the CPI Percentage Increase (as defined below) is more than [***] for the relevant Adjustment Period, then the Rent payable during that Adjustment Period shall be adjusted upward by a percentage equal to the CPI Percentage Increase (as defined below) applicable to such Adjustment Period, but not to exceed an adjustment during any Adjustment Period of greater than [***]. The term “Consumer Price Index” shall mean the unadjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Workers, U.S. City Average, All Items, 1982-84=100, calculated and published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The “CPI Percentage Increase” shall mean, with respect to any Adjustment Period, [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, no CPI Adjustment shall be made to any payment due under this Ground Lease for any Adjustment Period if the result of such CPI Adjustment would be to (a) reduce the amount of such payment to an amount that is less than the amount of such payment due for the immediately preceding Adjustment Period or (b) to raise the amount of such payment to an amount that is greater than [***]. For illustrative purposes only, [***]. The CPI Percentage Increase for any Adjustment Period shall be calculated by the Tenant, and the Tenant shall deliver written notice to the Landlord describing such calculation in reasonable detail (a “CPI Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of any Adjustment Period. If the Landlord disagrees with the Tenant’s calculation of the CPI Percentage Increase, then the Landlord shall deliver to the Tenant written notice, describing the basis for such disagreement in reasonable detail (a “CPI Disagreement Notice”), not later than thirty (30) days after delivery of the CPI Notice. If the Landlord fails to deliver a CPI Disagreement Notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of any CPI Notice, then the Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed with the calculation of the CPI Percentage Increase set forth in such CPI Notice.
