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.

Price Adjustments 17.1 Prices for Goods/Services supplied in terms of this Agreement shall be subject to review as indicated in the Schedule of Requirements/Works Order annexed hereto. 17.2 No less than 2 [two] months prior to any proposed Price adjustment, the Parties shall commence negotiations for Prices for the next period or as otherwise indicated in Schedule 1 hereto. The Parties shall have regard for market-related pricing of equivalent goods, continuous improvement initiatives, costs [including labour, raw materials and transport/delivery], order size and frequency and changes to the specification of the Goods/Services. 17.3 Pursuant to clause 17.2 above, the Supplier/Service Provider shall keep full and accurate records of all costs associated with the supply of the Goods/Services to Transnet, in a form to be approved in writing by Transnet. The Supplier/Service Provider shall produce such records to Transnet for inspection at all reasonable times on request and such records may, at Transnet's option, be audited by Transnet or its designated representatives. 17.4 Should Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider fail to reach an agreement on Price for the successive period, either Party shall be entitled to submit this matter to dispute resolution in accordance with clause 32 of the Master Agreement [Dispute Resolution]. 17.5 If during the period of this Agreement Transnet can purchase similar Goods/Services of a like quality from another supplier at a total delivered cost to a Transnet facility that is lower than the total delivered cost of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder from the Supplier/Service Provider, Transnet may notify the Supplier/Service Provider of such total delivered cost and the Supplier/Service Provider shall have an opportunity to adjust the Price of the Goods/Services purchased hereunder, on such a basis as to result in the same total delivered cost to Transnet, within 30 [thirty] calendar days of such notice. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from such other supplier in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; (ii) terminate this Agreement without any penalty, liability or further obligation; or (iii) continue purchases under this Agreement. 17.6 If during the period of this Agreement the Supplier/Service Provider sells any materials which are the same as, equivalent to, or substantially similar to the Goods/Services herein, at a total delivered cost to a third party lower than the total delivered cost to a Transnet facility, then the Supplier/Service Provider has an opportunity to adjust its Price for the Goods/Services purchased hereunder within 30 [thirty] calendar days so that the Price is the same or lower than the total delivered cost of such third party. If the Supplier/Service Provider fails to do so or cannot legally do so, Transnet may (i) purchase the Goods/Services from any other such supplier, in which case the obligations, including, but not limited to, any purchase and sale requirements and/or commitments, if any, of Transnet and the Supplier/Service Provider hereunder shall be reduced accordingly; or
Conversion Procedure (a) To convert a Security, a Holder must (i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security or facsimile of the conversion notice and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (ii) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent and (iv) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Such notice is hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Conversion.” A Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) on which the Holder has complied with the immediately preceding sentence of this clause (a) of Section 13.02. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, a Notice of Conversion shall be delivered and such Securities shall be surrendered for conversion in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC as in effect from time to time. (b) The Company will, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue, or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, to which such Holder shall be entitled. The Person or Persons entitled to receive such Common Stock upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock, as of the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided further that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.06, no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security. All Securities or portions thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on the Record Date for any Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the following Interest Payment Date shall (unless such Securities or portion thereof being converted shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date which occurs during the period from the close of business on such Record Date to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the following Interest Payment Date) be accompanied by payment, in funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the Principal Amount being converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made if there shall exist at the time of conversion a default in the payment of interest on the Securities. (c) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate Principal Amount of Securities converted. (d) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered. (e) If the last day on which Security may be converted is not a Business Day in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Securities may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. (f) Holders that have already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Security may not surrender such Security for conversion until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.09.
Price Adjustment Civil works contracts of long duration (more than 18 months) shall contain an appropriate price adjustment clause.
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.
Performance Adjustment Rate Except as otherwise provided in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph 3, the Performance Adjustment Rate is 0.02% for each percentage point (the performance of the Portfolio and the Index each being calculated to the nearest .01%) that the Portfolio's investment performance for the performance period was better or worse than the record of the Index as then constituted. The maximum performance adjustment rate is 0.20%. For purposes of calculating the performance adjustment of the portfolio, the portfolio's investment performance will be based on the performance of the retail class. The performance period will commence with the first day of the first full month following the retail class's commencement of operations. During the first eleven months of the performance period for the retail class, there will be no performance adjustment. Starting with the twelfth month of the performance period, the performance adjustment will take effect. Following the twelfth month a new month will be added to the performance period until the performance period equals 36 months. Thereafter the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months. The Portfolio's investment performance will be measured by comparing (i) the opening net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio on the first business day of the performance period with (ii) the closing net asset value of one share of the retail class of the Portfolio as of the last business day of such period. In computing the investment performance of the retail class of the Portfolio and the investment record of the Index, distributions of realized capital gains, the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of such period and dividends paid out of investment income on the part of the Portfolio, and all cash distributions of the securities included in the Index, will be treated as reinvested in accordance with Rule 205-1 or any other applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as the same from time to time may be amended.
