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.
Purchase Price Credit Adjustments If on any day:
(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable purchased from any Originator is:
(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any cash discounts, any volume discounts or any adjustment or otherwise by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than as a result of a charge-off of such Receivable or cash Collections applied to such Receivable),
(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction),
(iii) reduced on account of the obligation of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(iv) less on the date of its sale then the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, or
(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(i), (j), (l), (r), (s), (t), (u) and the second sentence of Section 2.1(q) hereof is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any such Receivable, then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to (x) in the case of clauses (a)(i) – (iv) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, as applicable, and (y) in the case of clause (b) above, the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, which shall be reconveyed by the Buyer to the applicable Originator following receipt of such amount. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on any day, such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the applicable Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.
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.
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.
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.
Fee Adjustment Fees as provided in this Agreement to be charged to residents of Joplin and the City pursuant to this Agreement may be adjusted based upon the AARC's change in costs subsequent to the previous adjustment. Any individual fee increases will be adjusted only to the extent of an increase in the Consumer Price Index (St. Louis -All Urban Consumers), utilizing the December 12 month period index from the previous year. If a fee increase request is in excess of the Consumer Price Index the city may request to review data on actual costs of each service if needed to document cost increases. In the event an adjustment to documented cost is warranted, AARC shall provide written notice thereof with supporting documentation, by no later than May 1 of each year. All increases shall be subject to annual appropriation by the Joplin City Council. City shall have thirty (30) days to review and request additional supporting documentation. In the event the parties are unable to agree to the cost adjustment, either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement as provided herein.
Price Adjustment Civil works contracts of long duration (more than 18 months) shall contain an appropriate price adjustment clause.
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.
