Most damage was to housing and transportation systems, as well as damage to the forestry sector.

Xxxxx occurred in January 2009, affecting France, Spain and Italy, with 28 fatalities and EUR 4bn of overall losses (EUR 950m of which were insured) (EEA, 2011), while figures from Munich Re show losses of USD 3.8bn (EUR 2.7bn) with USD 2.3bn being insured (EUR 1.6bn) (Munich Re, 2009). Xynthia affected most of Western Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK) in 2010, with an estimated EUR 4.2bn of damage and 64 fatalities (EM-DAT, 2014a). In 2013, Europe was affected by hailstorms in Germany on the 27th and 28th July (Munich Re 2014a). The losses estimated from this were EUR 3.6bn overall, with around EUR 2.8bn being insured.

In such event, the Servicer shall enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Note and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. If the foregoing is not permitted under applicable law, the Servicer is authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Note; provided, however, that to the extent any such substitution of liability agreement would be delivered by the Servicer outside of its usual procedures for mortgage loans held in its own portfolio the Servicer shall, prior to executing and delivering such agreement, obtain the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer.

  • Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Certificated Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
