RISKS AND OTHER CRITICAL FACTORS. All the partners have already been part of international projects and are aware that innovative and prototypical work like this is subject to a number of risks. This constitutes a good reference for the Steering Committee which will oversee and monitor the developments throughout the project. The consortium will identify the factors that are critical to the smooth execution and final success of the project and control these factors. For this purpose, the consortium will define methods and procedures to identify, assess, monitor and control areas of risk. The challenge underlying the project has been carefully analysed. Significant risks and contingency plans have been already identified, and for each one a possible contingency solution has been selected. If necessary, this plan will be re- assessed and updated throughout the execution of the project in order to reflect more flexibility and adjustment to changes that may occur in the dynamic environment that surrounds the project (both external and internal). As will be seen below on selected examples the key, effective element of risk management is the iterative strategy that we pursue, where the complexity of the problem under investigation is incrementally increased. Instead a ‘go for broke’ strategy we ensure that the most ambitious goals can be achieved in a step by step manner with each step being a significant scientific advance by itself. Scientific risks Risk description Evaluation Resolution Performance of activity recognition system below expected values (see quantified specific objectives) Impact low, Prob. medium Given the novelty of the approach pursued by OPPORTUNITY it is difficult to estimate the future performance of such a system. While we expect to outperform traditional state of the art systems when sensor configuration changes, it is difficult to estimate by how much, and it is difficult to estimate what are the costs of adaptation in situations where sensor configurations do not change. This is part of the research we conduct in OPPORTUNITY. The 3-stage approach allows us to regularly validate the OPPORTUNITY methods in case studies. The specification of the following stage case study reflects the outcomes of the previous one. As a consequence, the case study may be adjusted to better investigate unexpected aspects of the methods outcomes, and/or emphasize specific positive outcomes (e.g through complexity reduction, or design of specific case studies to address one adaptation method)...

  • Pro Forma and Other Calculations (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Ratios, shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.08; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.08, when calculating any Ratio for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Rate” and (ii) Section 7.08 (other than for the purpose of determining Pro Forma Compliance with Section 7.08), the events described in this Section 1.08 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. (b) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness or issues or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the Test Period for which any Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the applicable Ratio is made (the “Ratio Calculation Date”), then the applicable Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period; provided, however, that, for purposes of any pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio on such determination date pursuant to the provisions described in Section 7.02(a), the pro forma calculation shall not give effect to any Indebtedness incurred on such determination date pursuant to the provisions described under Section 7.02(b). (c) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, Dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to a business (as such term is used in Regulation S-X Rule 11-01 under the Securities Act), a company, a segment, an operating division or unit or line of business that the Borrower, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has determined to make and/or made during the Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with GAAP (except as set forth in the last sentence of clause (d) below) assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, Dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom, subject to any limitations set forth in clause (a)(x) of the definition thereof, to the extent applicable) had occurred on the first day of the Test Period. If since the beginning of such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation and consolidation, in each case with respect to a business (as such term is used in Regulation S-X Rule 11-01 under the Securities Act), a company, a segment, an operating division or unit or line of business that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.08, then the applicable Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such Test Period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger and consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period. (d) For purposes of making the computation referred to above, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower as set forth in an officer’s certificate, to reflect reasonably identifiable and factually supportable operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from any action taken or expected to be taken within 12 months after the date of any acquisition, amalgamation or merger (subject to any limitations set forth in clause (a)(x) of the definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, to the extent applicable); provided, that no such amounts shall be included pursuant to this paragraph to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA with respect to such period. (e) For purposes of calculation of any Ratio, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used by the Borrower for purposes of preparing its financial statements, in accordance with GAAP.
