ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT PRICE The Contract Price shall be subject to adjustment, as hereinafter set forth, in the event of the following contingencies (it being understood by both parties that any reduction of the Contract Price is by way of liquidated damages and not by way of penalty):
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 amount of the investment advisory fees waived or reduced and other payments remitted by the Adviser to the Fund or Funds with respect to the previous fiscal year shall equal the Excess Amount.
Inventory Adjustment (a) No more than three (3) days prior to Closing, a physical count of all saleable inventory, raw materials, castings, grates and other ancillary products included in the Seller Assets (the “Closing Inventory”) shall be carried out at the Designated Plants by representatives of each of the Seller and the Purchaser, which physical count shall be carried out in a manner mutually agreed upon by the parties. For the purposes of this Section 3.1(a), “saleable” inventory shall mean (i) finished goods, which are of first quality and saleable in the ordinary course without discount, and (ii) all raw materials, castings, grates and other ancillary products that are useable in the production of pipe and precast products or otherwise suitable for resale, unless obsolete, damaged or cosmetically impaired. The representatives of each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve any disputes which may arise during the physical count of the inventory. Upon completion of the physical count of the inventory, the representatives of each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall agree upon and execute a statement setting forth either (i) the final physical count of the inventory in the event that the representatives agree on such final physical count or (ii) the final physical count of the inventory of each of the Seller and the Purchaser in the event that the representatives were unable to resolve in good faith any disputes during the physical inventory count, noting such items of dispute (the “Disputed Seller Inventory Items”) therein. The value of Closing Inventory shall be determined in accordance with the Inventory Methodology. In the event that there are any Disputed Seller Inventory Items, such Disputed Seller Inventory Items shall be resolved following the Closing pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.2 and the final physical count agreed to by the parties or resolved pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be final and binding on the parties, including for purposes of determining the Closing Inventory. (b) No later than 90 days after the Closing Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a certificate executed by the
Processing Adjustments In the event of any error or delay with respect to these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures that is caused by the Fund or its designee, the Fund will make any adjustments on its (or its transfer agent’s) accounting system necessary to correct such error or delay. The Company will make the corresponding adjustments on its record-keeping system. The Company and the Fund will each provide the other with prompt notice of any errors or delays of the type referred to in these Fund/SERV and Networking Procedures.
Determining Number of Billable Accounts The Open Account Fee and the Closed Account Fee shall be paid only with respect to accounts serviced directly by the Transfer Agent and not with respect to accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, as provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding that the Transfer Agent does not collect an Open Account Fee on accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, any Small Account Fees collected on such accounts shall be subtracted as provided above under “Open Account Fee.”
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.
Performance Adjustment One-twelfth of the annual Performance Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month and the performance period.
Payment and Year-End Adjustment Amounts accrued pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable to the Adviser as of the last day of each month. 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 Maximum Annual Operating Expense Limit.
Cost of Living Adjustment For each year following the Initial Term, unless the parties shall otherwise agree and provided that the service mix and volumes remain consistent as previously provided in the Initial Term, the total fee for all services shall equal the fee that would be charged for the same services based on a fee rate (as reflected in a fee rate schedule) increased by the percentage increase for the twelve-month period of such previous calendar year of the CPI-W (defined below) or, in the event that publication of such index is terminated, any successor or substitute index, appropriately adjusted, acceptable to both parties. As used herein, “CPI-W” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (Area: Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MA-NH-ME-CT; Base Period: 1982-84=100), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
CPI Adjustment The fixed fees and other fees expressed as stated dollar amounts in this schedule and in the Agreement shall be increased annually commencing on the one-year anniversary date of the Effective Date by the percentage increase since the Effective Date in consumer prices for services as measured by the United States Consumer Price Index entitled "All Services Less Rent of Shelter" or a similar index should such index no longer be published.
