Regulatory Principles. A surprising sixty-three of the sixty nine governments submitting schedules committed themselves to new domestic regulatory principles that are subject to international monitoring, bargaining, and dispute resolution. A full fifty-seven countries committed themselves in whole or with a few exceptions to the Reference Paper's language on competitive safeguards, interconnection, universal service, public availability of licensing criteria, independent regulators, and allocation and use of scarce resources. This was one of the most dramatic examples of progress as the GBT negotiations unfolded. In April 1996, when the NGBT ended unsuccessfully, forty-four governments had included regulatory commitments, and only thirty-one had signed on to the Reference Paper. To advocates of the GBT deal, the incorporation of regulatory principles into a trade policy framework is a remarkable and significant achievement. After all, the entire history of global telecommunications has involved states' jealously preserving sovereign prerogatives to regulate their national systems as they saw fit. The instruments of the international regime negotiated in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) positioned sovereignty as an overarching principle, and governments sought to insulate their markets from foreign influence while reaping the benefits of international correspondence, e.g. by interconnecting monopoly systems at designated gateways and jointly providing services on a non- competitive basis. With the shift to a trade framework of global governance, the new forms of international service delivery require what have been called "beyond the border" and "deep integration" measures. Accordingly, GBT members have bound themselves to make their domestic regulatory institutions and rules consistent with multilateral trade disciplines and transnational market forces. It is easy to imagine that much of the agreement=s thrust might have been frustrated in practice without these regulatory obligations. For example, offering market access via commercial presence or cross- border delivery might mean little without an internationally recognized right to interconnect with other public telecommunications transport networks and services, or without mandatory access to licensing criteria.

Therefore, a working system and harmonious relations are necessary to improve the relationship between the Employer, the Union and the Public. Progress in industry demands a mutuality of confidence between the Employer and the Union. All will benefit by continuous peace and by adjusting any differences by rational common-sense methods.

  • Applicable Principles Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the Actual Tax Liability of the Corporation for such Taxable Year attributable to the Basis Adjustments and Imputed Interest, as determined using a “with and without” methodology described in Section 2.4(a). Carryovers or carrybacks of any tax item attributable to any Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local tax law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type. If a carryover or carryback of any tax item includes a portion that is attributable to a Basis Adjustment or Imputed Interest (a “TRA Portion”) and another portion that is not (a “Non-TRA Portion”), such portions shall be considered to be used in accordance with the “with and without” methodology so that: (i) the amount of any Non-TRA Portion is deemed utilized first, followed by the amount of any TRA Portion (with the TRA Portion being applied on a proportionate basis consistent with the provisions of Section 3.3(a)); and (ii) in the case of a carryback of a Non-TRA Portion, such carryback shall not affect the original “with and without” calculation made in the prior Taxable Year. The Parties agree that, subject to the second to last sentence of Section 2.1(a), all Tax Benefit Payments attributable to an Exchange will be treated as subsequent upward purchase price adjustments that give rise to further Basis Adjustments for the Corporation beginning in the Taxable Year of payment, and as a result, such additional Basis Adjustments will be incorporated into such Taxable Year continuing for future Taxable Years until any incremental Basis Adjustment benefits with respect to a Tax Benefit Payment equals an immaterial amount.

(b) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement, and either the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement so as to equitably reflect such change in GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such change in GAAP as if such change in GAAP had not been made (subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders); provided, however, that, (i) until so amended, (A) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP, as applicable, prior to such change therein and (B) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a written reconciliation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, (A) the amount of any Capital Lease Obligation shall at all times be calculated in accordance with the definition of that term, and (B) notwithstanding any changes in GAAP after the Closing Date, any lease of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries that would be characterized as an operating lease under GAAP in effect on the Closing Date (whether such lease is entered into before or after the Closing Date) shall not constitute Indebtedness or a Capital Lease Obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of such changes in GAAP. (c) For purposes of making all financial calculations to determine compliance with Article V (Financial Covenant) and any other financial ratio hereunder, all components of such calculations shall be adjusted to include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such calculations attributable to any business or assets that have been acquired by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including through Permitted Acquisitions) after the first day of the applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in good faith by the Borrower on a Pro Forma Basis.
