Related to Interest Rate Adjustments and Payments
Interest Rate Adjustment The interest rate payable will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P or, if applicable, Fitch or any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors) as a replacement for Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be (each, a “Substitute Rating Agency”) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Notes, in the manner described below. Each of Moody’s, S&P and any Substitute Rating Agency is an “Interest Rate Rating Agency,” and together they are “Interest Rate Rating Agencies.” (a) If the rating assigned by Moody’s (or, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance plus the percentage set forth opposite the rating in the table below (plus, if applicable, the percentage set forth opposite the rating in the table under Section 108(b) below): Ba1 0.25 % Ba2 0.50 % Ba3 0.75 % B1 or below 1.00 % * Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency. (b) If the rating assigned by S&P (or, if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) of a series of Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance plus the percentage set forth opposite the rating in the table below (plus, if applicable, the percentage set forth opposite the rating in the table under Section 108(a) above): BB+ 0.25 % BB 0.50 % BB- 0.75 % B+ or below 1.00 % * Including the equivalent ratings of any Substitute Rating Agency. If at any time the interest rate on the Notes of a series has been increased and any of the Interest Rate Rating Agencies subsequently upgrades its rating of the Notes of such series, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes of such series equals the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the upgrade in rating. If Moody’s (or any Substitute Rating Agency) subsequently upgrades its rating of the Notes of such series to Baa3 (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, and S&P (or any Substitute Rating Agency) upgrades its rating to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will be decreased to the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance (and if one such upgrade occurs and the other does not, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will be decreased so that it does not reflect any increase attributable to the upgrading Interest Rate Rating Agency). In addition, the interest rates on the Notes of a series will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent downgrade in the ratings by any of the Interest Rate Rating Agencies) if the Notes of such series become rated Baa1 and BBB+ (or, in either case, the equivalent thereof, in the case of a Substitute Rating Agency) or higher by Moody’s and S&P (or, in either case, any Substitute Rating Agency), respectively (or one of these ratings if the Notes of such series are only rated by one rating agency). Each adjustment required by any downgrade or upgrade in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, any Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate on the Notes of a series be reduced to below the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes of such series exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance. No adjustments in the interest rate of the Notes of a series shall be made solely as a result of an Interest Rate Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating on the Notes of such series. If at any time less than two Interest Rate Rating Agencies provide a rating of the Notes of such series for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the Notes of such series from a Substitute Rating Agency, if one exists, in which case, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Notes of such series pursuant to the tables above (a) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last Interest Rate Rating Agency to provide a rating of the Notes of such series but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (b) the relative rating scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings will be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, in such table and (c) the interest rate on the Notes of a series will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate payable on the Notes of a series on the date of their initial issuance plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the deemed equivalent rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (b) above) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other Interest Rate Rating Agency). For so long as only one Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating of the Notes of a series, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Notes of such series necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the Interest Rate Rating Agency providing the rating shall be twice the applicable percentage set forth in the applicable table above. For so long as no Interest Rate Rating Agency provides a rating of the Notes of a series, the interest rate on the Notes of such series will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes of such series on the date of their initial issuance. Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the interest period commencing after the date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate. If any Interest Rate Rating Agency changes its rating of the Notes of a series more than once prior to any particular interest payment date, the last change by such agency prior to such interest payment date will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the Notes of a series described above relating to such rating agency’s action. If the interest rate payable on the Notes of a series is increased as described above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Notes of such series, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.

Taxes applicable to the gas delivered to Buyer hereunder as are in effect on January 1st immediately preceding the effective date of these terms and conditions shall be added to Buyer's xxxx. The term 'tax' as used herein shall mean any tax, license fee, or charge applicable to the gas delivered hereunder, imposed on Seller by any govemmental authority on such gas. If the existing rate of any such tax in effect on January 1st, Immediately preceding the effective date of these terms and conditions, be hereafter increased or decreased, or if any tax heretofore in effect or hereafter be imposed or repealed, the resulting increase or decrease in such taxes, computed on a cents per dekatherm basis, shall be reflected, as the case may be, on Buyer's xxxx. 2. Any applicable surcharge or special charges ordered by the Commission or any other duly constituted regulatory body shall be included in addition to the price of gas computed in accordance with the terms of the Service Agreement.
Conversion Price Adjustments The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution with respect to its Company Common Stock exclusively in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Company Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Debentures thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Debentures been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification (or immediately after the record date if a record date shall have been established for such event). If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Debenture thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes or series of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes or series of capital stock. In the event that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or issuance is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. (b) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are Outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Company Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price for the Debentures shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Company Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of Company Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this subsection in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants. (c) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Company Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subparagraph (b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section 13.4), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (c) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (the "Reference Date") less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. For purposes of this subparagraph (c), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Company Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets other than such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this subparagraph (c)) immediately followed by (ii) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any further conversion price reduction required by subparagraph (a) or (b)), except (A) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this subparagraph shall be substituted as (x) "the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution," and (y) "the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and (z) "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subparagraphs (a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Company Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding for purposes of computing any adjustment of the conversion price in subparagraph (a). (d) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Company Common Stock exclusively in cash (excluding (i) all cash dividends, if the amount thereof does not exceed the per share amount of the immediately preceding regular cash dividend (as adjusted to reflect any of the events referred to in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section and (ii) all cash dividends, if the annualized amount thereof per share of Company Common Stock does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such dividend), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution less the amount of cash so distributed (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above) applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the record date mentioned above (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of shares of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each share of the Debentures immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the cash (less that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above). In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the conversion price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. (e) In case a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot offer) made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Company Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of consideration per share of Company Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time (including the Purchased Shares) (as defined below) multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") (excluding that portion of such consideration that does not exceed 110% of the Current Market Price per share) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that such tender or exchange offer is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. (f) If the distribution date for the Rights of the Company provided in any stockholder rights agreement occurs prior to the Conversion Date, and a Holder of the Debentures who converts such Debentures after such distribution date is not entitled to receive the Rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the date of conversion) to the shares of Company Common Stock received upon such conversion, then an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 13.4(a) as if the Rights were being distributed to Company Common Stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such conversion. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event. (g) The Company shall have the right to reduce from time to time the Conversion Price by any amount selected by the Company for any period of at least 30 days; provided, that Company shall give at least 15 days' written notice of such reduction to the Trustee and the Property Trustee. The Company may, at its option, make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those set forth above in Section 13.4(a), as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Company Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for United States Federal income tax purposes. (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.4, no adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock), except as specifically provided above, including pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Company Common Stock under any such plan, or the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee benefit plan or program of the Company or pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security which does not constitute an issuance to all holders of Company Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling holders of such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Company Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price. Further, such issuances shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Company Common Stock or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible securities by the Company to which any of the adjustment provisions described above applies. There shall also be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of the Company except as specifically described in this Article 13. No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price, but any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in a subsequent adjustment. (i) If any action would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value to the Holder of the Debentures.
Rate Adjustment a) An employee who is set back to a lower paid job because of mechanization, technological change or automation will receive the rate of his/her regular job at the time of the setback for a period of three (3) months and for a further period of three (3) months he/she will be paid an adjusted rate which will be midway between the rate of his/her regular job at the time of the setback and the rate of his/her new regular job. At the end of this six (6) month period the rate of his/her new job will apply. However, such employee will have the option of terminating his/her employment and accepting severance pay as outlined in Section 3 below, providing he/she exercises this option within the above referred to six (6) month period. b) Following an application of a) above, where an employee is set back to a lower paid job because of an application of Article VIII - Seniority brought on by mechanization, technological change or automation he/she will receive the rate of his/her regular job at the time of the setback for a period of three (3) months and for a further three (3) months he/she will be paid an adjusted rate which will be midway between the rate of his/her regular job at the time of the setback and the rate of his/her new regular job. At the end of this six (6) month period the rate of his/her new regular job will apply.
Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.
Interest Rates and Payment Dates (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin. (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans (a) Rates. The Borrowers promise to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates: (i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin (utilizing the applicable "Base Rate Margin" as identified in the definition of Applicable Margin, it being acknowledged that the Applicable Margin is a negative number, the addition of which will result in an interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans which is lower than the corresponding Base Rate); (ii) during such periods as such Loan (other than a Competitive Advance) is a LIBOR Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin (utilizing the applicable "LIBOR Margin" as identified in the definition of Applicable Margin); and (iii) with respect to each Competitive Advance, at the margin over the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).
Advances and Payments (a) On the date requested by the Borrower for the funding of each Loan, the Agent shall be authorized (but not obligated) to advance, for the account of each of the Lenders, the amount of the Loan to be made by it in accordance with provisions of Article 2 hereof. Each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and requests the Agent to advance for its account, pursuant to the terms hereof, the amount of the Loan to be made by it, and each of the Lenders agrees forthwith to reimburse the Agent in immediately available funds for the amount so advanced on its behalf by the Agent. If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately available funds on the same day on which the Agent shall have made any such amount available on behalf of any Lender, such Lender shall pay interest to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Agent's cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market for the first day following the time when such Lender fails to make the required reimbursement, and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Rate. (b) Any amounts received by the Agent in connection with this Agreement or the Notes the application of which is not otherwise provided for, shall be applied, first, to pay accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees in accordance with the Lenders' unused Commitments, second, to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes in proportion to the amounts owed to each Lender, third, to repay the principal balance outstanding on the Notes (allocated in accordance with the outstanding amounts thereof owing to each Lender as set forth on the Schedule of Commitments attached as Schedule 1.1 hereto) and fourth, to pay other amounts payable to the Agent. All amounts to be paid to any of the Lenders by the Agent shall be credited to the Lenders, after collection by the Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in such Lender's correspondent account with the Agent, or as such Lender and the Agent shall from time to time agree.
Prices and Payments 1. The price listed by the Contractor or otherwise the price commonly charged by the Contractor for the respective service is decisive, plus statutory value-added tax insofar as such is applicable. In case of transnational services, any possibly applicable taxes, fees, customs fees, and other charges (of any kind) incurred for the transnational service shall be borne by the Principal. 2. If, within the scope of contracts for the performance of a continuing obligation and long-term contracts, the Contractor's prime costs increase and such increase is not within the Contractor's own scope of responsibility, the Contractor is authorized to an appropriate price increase commensurate with the increase of its prime costs; if the Principal does not consent to such price increase it is authorized to terminate the Agreement within four weeks after receipt of such notification of a price increase; otherwise, the increase is deemed to be mutually agreed upon. A right to a price increase pursuant to this provision does not exist if the Principal is a Consumer. 3. The Principal shall pay the remuneration owed without any cash discounts, free of charge to the Contractor, and within two weeks after receipt of the invoice, to the bank account stated by the Contractor. Credit entry at the Contractor's account is decisive for the timeliness of the payment. The Contractor reserves the right to request appropriate installment payments and appropriate advance payments. 4. If the Agreement is based on a cost estimate, and if it turns out that the costs will be significantly higher than the amount estimated vis-a-vis the Principal, then the Contractor will inform the Principal of such in text form. In this case the Principal is authorized to terminate the Agreement in writing, within two weeks after receipt of such notification. In the event of a termination, the Contractor is authorized to request partial remuneration commensurate with the services already provided. Furthermore, the Contractor is authorized to request compensation for any expenses not included in the remuneration but incurred due to the provision of services. 5. If the Principal owes interest and expenses in addition to a possibly existing principal claim, any payment by the Principal that does not fully redeem the total sum will first be credited against expenses, secondly against interest, and lastly against the principal claim. 6. The Principal is entitled to offset and retention rights only if its counterclaims are legally ascertained, undisputed, or acknowledged in writing by the Contractor. This limitation does not apply to the Principal's claims for defects arising from the same contractual relation as the Contractor's payment claim. If the contract partner is a Consumer, then in contrast to clause 1, such contract partner is on principle entitled to unlimited retention rights for claims arising from the same contractual relation. 7. If, after conclusion of the Agreement, it becomes clear that the Contractor's claims vis-a-vis the Principal are at risk due to the Principal's lack of ability to perform, the Contractor is authorized to perform outstanding services only against advance payment or provision of a security as well as settlement of possibly still outstanding receivables for partial services already provided and arising from the Agreement, and - after unsuccessful expiration of a grace period - is authorized to withdraw from the Agreement; No. 4 clause 3 of this provision applies accordingly. 8. In case of payment default, the Principal owes default interest in the amount of 9 percentage points above the base interest rate if the Principal is an Entrepreneur; in the amount of 5 percentage points above the base interest rate if the Principal is a Consumer. The Contractor is entitled to assert further claims if it can prove higher damage to the Principal. The Contractor is furthermore entitled to charge a flat rate of € 40.00 if the Principal is an Entrepreneur. This shall also apply if the payment default relates to any kind of an installment. In case the Contractor may claim further compensation for damage, the flat rate has to be credited against such claims, . If the Principal is a Consumer the Contractor is entitled to charge a flat rate of € 5.00 per reminder. The Principal is entitled to provide evidence that the Contractor did not incur any damage or incurred significantly lower damage.
Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
