Purchase Price Adjustments (a) The Parties agree that, so long as any distributions made are reflected in Closing Working Capital and in any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 1.4(c), the Seller shall have the right, at or prior to the Closing, to cause the Company to distribute cash to the Seller or its Affiliates, by one or more dividends and/or other distributions.
(b) Within 90 calendar days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”), in accordance with the Accounting Principles, which shall include (i) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date, (ii) a calculation of the total Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), (iii) a calculation of the Working Capital Deficit or the Working Capital Excess, as the case may be (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the Buyer’s calculation of the Target Working Capital), (iv) a calculation of Closing Cash, (v) a calculation of Closing Indebtedness, (vi) a calculation of Transaction Expenses and (vii) the Buyer’s determination of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) resulting therefrom. For purposes of the Buyer’s preparation of the Closing Statement, the Seller shall make available or provide reasonable access to the Buyer and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Working Capital Certificate, to the extent not in the possession of the Company or the Buyer. The Seller shall have a period of 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Statement to review (and cause the Seller’s auditors to review) such documents and make any objections it may have in writing to the Buyer. For purposes of the Seller’s evaluation of the Closing Statement, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, make available or provide reasonable access to the Seller and its Representatives, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, all information, books, records, data and working papers created or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement; and shall permit reasonable access, upon advance notice and during normal business hours, to the facilities and personnel of the Company as may be reasonably requested by the Seller and its Representatives to analyze the Closing Statement. If the Seller delivers written objections to the Buyer within such 30-day period, then the Buyer and the Seller shall attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute. If no written objections are made by the Seller within such 30-day period, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If disputes with respect to the Closing Statement cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Seller within 30 calendar days after timely delivery of any objections thereto, then, at the request of the Buyer or the Seller, the specific matters in dispute (but no others) shall be submitted to such independent accounting firm as may be approved by the Seller and the Buyer (the “Auditors”), which firm shall render its opinion as to such specific matters. If no such referral is made within 45 calendar days after the delivery of the objections, then the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties. If all objections are so resolved between the Parties prior to such time, the Closing Statement with such changes as have been agreed in writing by the Buyer and the Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties. The matters to be resolved by the Auditors shall be limited to the remaining unresolved disputes between the Buyer and the Seller. The Parties shall cooperate with the Auditors during its engagement, and the Auditors shall have access to the books and records of the Company and the Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Parties’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the unresolved disputes as it may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing such unresolved disputes, provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Seller. The Auditors shall promptly deliver to the Buyer and the Seller a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputes along with their determination of the Final Purchase Price, which determination shall be made in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement and shall be final and binding on the Parties. As to each disputed item, the Auditors shall be limited to awarding only one or the other of the Buyer’s proposal, on the one hand, or the Seller’s proposal, on the other hand, and shall have no authority to select or propose to the Parties any resolution other than as set forth in one of such two proposals originally submitted to the Auditors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Auditors in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Auditors shall be borne by the Parties as designated by the Auditors, which designation shall be based upon the inverse proportion of the amount of disputed items resolved in favor of such Party (i.e., so that the prevailing Party bears a lesser amount of such fees and expenses). If the Parties refer a dispute to the Auditors and if the Adjustment Escrow Funds exceed the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as claimed by the Buyer), then the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, promptly instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds, and the remaining balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds shall be paid out pursuant to Section 1.4(c) after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(c) If the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Buyer the amount of such excess out of the Adjustment Escrow Funds (and if the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds is less than the amount due to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4, then at the Buyer’s option the Buyer may recover the remaining amount from the Indemnity Escrow Funds or require the Seller to pay such amount to the Buyer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Buyer). If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then within two business days following the final determination thereof, the Buyer will pay to the Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated by the Seller the amount of such excess and the Buyer and the Seller shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the Seller the entire balance of the Adjustment Escrow Funds. Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment 1.9.1 Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Net Working Capital Statement”) which shall set forth the Net Working Capital of the Newsprint Business and of Apache as of the Closing Time (which shall be set forth separately for each of the Newsprint Business and Apache, but as aggregated shall be referred to as the “Closing Net Working Capital”) and shall be prepared in accordance with Seller’s past accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures and in the same manner, with consistent classification and estimation methodology, as the Financial Statements were prepared, except that the Excluded Assets and the Newsprint Retained Obligations shall be excluded. The Closing Net Working Capital Statement may not be amended by Seller after it is delivered to Purchaser.
1.9.2 Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Closing Net Working Capital Statement to it, complete its review of the Closing Net Working Capital reflected on the Closing Net Working Capital Statement. If Purchaser wishes to dispute the Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing in reasonable detail of such disagreement and any reason therefore (“Purchaser’s Objection”), setting forth a specific description of the basis of Purchaser’s Objection and the adjustments to the Closing Net Working Capital that Purchaser believes should be made, on or before the last day of such thirty (30) day period, which Purchaser’s Objection may not be amended by Purchaser after it is delivered to Seller (except to withdraw any such Purchaser’s Objection). Any items on the Closing Net Working Capital Statements not disputed in Purchaser’s Objection shall be irrevocably deemed to be accepted by Purchaser. Seller shall then have thirty (30) days to review and respond to Purchaser’s Objection. If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve all of their disagreements with respect to the determination of the foregoing items within thirty (30) days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Objection (the “Negotiation Period”), they shall refer their remaining differences to a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm of national recognition (other than an independent accounting firm utilized by any of Seller, Apache or Purchaser or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing within the past three (3) years) acceptable to both Seller and Purchaser or if Seller and Purchaser are unable to agree as to such third party accounting firm within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the Negotiation Period, either Seller or Purchaser may request that the Chairman of the American Arbitration Association (or the nominated representative of the Chairman) appoint a third party accounting firm meeting the aforementioned requirements to resolve the dispute (the accounting firm selected being referred to as the “CPA Firm”), who shall determine, only with respect to the remaining differences so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Net Working Capital requires adjustment. The procedure and schedule under which any dispute shall be submitted to the CPA Firm shall be as follows:
(a) Within ten (10) days after the later of (i) the end of the Negotiation Period and (ii) the selection of the CPA Firm, Purchaser shall submit any unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Seller), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute a withdrawal by Purchaser of the Purchaser’s Objection with respect to any unresolved element to which such failure relates.
(b) Within fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s submission of the unresolved elements of the Purchaser’s Objection as specified in sub-clause (a) above, Seller shall submit its response to the CPA Firm in writing (with a copy to Purchaser), supported by any documents and/or affidavits upon which it relies. Failure to timely do so shall constitute an acceptance by Seller with respect to any unresolved elements to which such failure relates.
(c) The CPA Firm shall deliver its written determination to Purchaser and Seller no later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the remaining differences underlying Purchaser’s Objection are referred to the CPA Firm, or such longer period of time as the CPA Firm determines is necessary.
Purchase Price Adjustment (a) Within 90 days following the Closing, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Seller a statement (the “Closing Schedule”) setting forth:
(i) the Buyer’s determination of the actual amounts of (A) the Adjustment Amount, including the Final Adjustment Amount Overage or the Final Adjustment Amount Underage (the “Final Adjustment Amount”), and (B) the Seller Indebtedness Amount, in each case as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date without taking into account any of the transactions to be completed on the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) a calculation of any adjustments to the Closing Payment based on such calculations (the adjusted Closing Payment as a result of such calculation being the “Final Closing Payment”); and
(iii) a calculation of the accounts receivable contained in the Preliminary Adjustment Amount that were not collected by Buyer within the thirty (30) days immediately following the Closing and the accounts receivable existing at the Closing but not taken into account in calculating the Adjustment Amount (the “Excluded AR”).
(b) Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Closing Schedule, the Seller may deliver a notice to Buyer either: (i) concurring with the Closing Schedule (a “Notice of Concurrence”); or (ii) disagreeing therewith (a “Notice of Disagreement”). If the Seller delivers a Notice of Disagreement, then it shall be accompanied by the Seller’s proposed revisions to the Closing Schedule. If the Seller fails to deliver any notice within such 15-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Concurrence.
(c) If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and if the Final Closing Payment is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. If a Notice of Concurrence is delivered or deemed delivered, and the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Closing Payment, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Notice of Concurrence.
(d) If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered, then the Seller and the Buyer shall, during the 15-day period following such delivery (the “Negotiation Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the Final Adjustment Amount. If, during such period, the Seller and the Buyer are unable to reach agreement, they promptly shall engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to each such party (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve the disagreement, and any such resolution shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, absent fraud or manifest error. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is less than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall be entitled to payment out of the Royalty Consideration in the full amount of such shortfall. To the extent the Final Closing Payment as determined by the Independent Auditor is more than the Closing Payment, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the full amount of such excess (with such payment being in shares of Buyer Common Stock priced at $1.50 per share) within thirty (30) days of such resolution.
(e) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor.
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
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.
Adjustments to the Purchase Price (a) To determine the Adjusted Purchase Price in accordance in accordance with Section 3.5, the Preliminary Purchase Price shall be reduced or increased (subject to the limitations provided below), as applicable, by the aggregate amount, if any, by which the Adjusted Net Working Capital (as defined below) of the Companies as of the close of business on the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Dissolution is less than or greater than $3,183,257. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Adjusted Net Working Capital" means (i) the sum of ---------------------------- (A) cash, (B) accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, (C) prepaid expenses, and (D) other current assets, less (ii) the sum of (A) accounts payable, (B) accrued expenses, and (C) income tax payable, each component of which will be calculated using the same methodology as was used in preparing the combined consolidating balance sheets of the Companies as of March 31, 1998 in the offering memorandum provided to Seller in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, with certain agreed upon adjustments. For the purposes of this calculation, amounts relating to gains on the sale or other disposition of assets after December 31, 1998 (whether reflected on the balance sheets of the Companies as an increase in cash or other assets, or a decrease in liabilities, or otherwise) shall be excluded and an amount equal thereto shall be deducted in calculating Adjusted Net Working Capital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be credited, as a reduction in the Adjusted Purchase Price, with the positive amount, if any, equal to (i) (A) the amount of Adjusted Net Working Capital on the Closing Date, (B) plus an amount equal to any employee bonuses paid by the Companies after March 31, 1999, (C) plus an amount equal to any payments or charges after March 31, 1999 for attorneys' fees and expenses, accountants' fees and expenses and investment bankers' fees and expenses, including without limitation relating to the Stock Purchase Agreement, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the settlement of the matter described in Schedule 4.14, item 7, and, without ------------- limitation, any other payments, expenses or charges not in the ordinary course of business or extraordinary in nature after Xxxxx 00, 0000, (X) plus an amount equal to the principal portion of any payments of Indebtedness after March 31, 1999, and (E) minus an amount equal to any increase in Adjusted Net Working Capital resulting from the payment after March 31, 1999 of the receivable from Safety Shorts, Inc. previously thought to be uncollectible, minus (ii) the amount of Adjusted Net Working Capital on March 31, 1999. The purpose of the foregoing sentence is to place the parties in the same economic position as if the Closing had occurred on March 31, 1999.
Conversion Price Adjustments The conversion price shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution with respect to its Company Common Stock exclusively in shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Company Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Company Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Debentures thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Debentures been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification (or immediately after the record date if a record date shall have been established for such event). If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Debenture thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes or series of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes or series of capital stock. In the event that such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or issuance is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(b) In case the Company shall, while any of the Debentures are Outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Company Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price for the Debentures shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Company Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this subsection, the number of shares of Company Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. In case any rights or warrants referred to in this subsection in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire unexercised after the same shall have been distributed or issued by the Company, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect if no adjustment had been made on account of the distribution or issuance of such expired rights or warrants.
(c) Subject to the last sentence of this subparagraph, in case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Company Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class or series of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in subparagraph (b), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Section 13.4), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (c) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (the "Reference Date") less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Reference Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred. For purposes of this subparagraph (c), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Company Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (i) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash or assets other than such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any Conversion Price reduction required by this subparagraph (c)) immediately followed by (ii) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Company Common Stock or such rights or warrants (making any further conversion price reduction required by subparagraph (a) or (b)), except (A) the Reference Date of such dividend or distribution as defined in this subparagraph shall be substituted as (x) "the record date in the case of a dividend or other distribution," and (y) "the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants" and (z) "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of subparagraphs (a) and (b) and (B) any shares of Company Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed outstanding for purposes of computing any adjustment of the conversion price in subparagraph (a).
(d) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Company Common Stock exclusively in cash (excluding (i) all cash dividends, if the amount thereof does not exceed the per share amount of the immediately preceding regular cash dividend (as adjusted to reflect any of the events referred to in subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section and (ii) all cash dividends, if the annualized amount thereof per share of Company Common Stock does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of declaration of such dividend), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the date fixed for the payment of such distribution less the amount of cash so distributed (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above) applicable to one share of Company Common Stock and the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution; provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the record date mentioned above (excluding that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of shares of Debentures shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each share of the Debentures immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the cash (less that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12.5% of the Current Market Price per share, determined as provided above). In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the conversion price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(e) In case a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot offer) made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Company Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of consideration per share of Company Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds 110% of the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this subparagraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time (including the Purchased Shares) (as defined below) multiplied by the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") (excluding that portion of such consideration that does not exceed 110% of the Current Market Price per share) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price per share of Company Common Stock on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that such tender or exchange offer is not so made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
(f) If the distribution date for the Rights of the Company provided in any stockholder rights agreement occurs prior to the Conversion Date, and a Holder of the Debentures who converts such Debentures after such distribution date is not entitled to receive the Rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the date of conversion) to the shares of Company Common Stock received upon such conversion, then an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 13.4(a) as if the Rights were being distributed to Company Common Stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such conversion. If such an adjustment is made and the Rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event.
(g) The Company shall have the right to reduce from time to time the Conversion Price by any amount selected by the Company for any period of at least 30 days; provided, that Company shall give at least 15 days' written notice of such reduction to the Trustee and the Property Trustee. The Company may, at its option, make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those set forth above in Section 13.4(a), as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Company Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for United States Federal income tax purposes.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.4, no adjustment of the Conversion Price will be made upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock (or securities convertible or exchangeable for Company Common Stock), except as specifically provided above, including pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Company Common Stock under any such plan, or the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee benefit plan or program of the Company or pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security which does not constitute an issuance to all holders of Company Common Stock of rights or warrants entitling holders of such rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Company Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price. Further, such issuances shall not be deemed to constitute an issuance of Company Common Stock or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible securities by the Company to which any of the adjustment provisions described above applies. There shall also be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock) of the Company except as specifically described in this Article 13. No adjustment in the Conversion Price will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Price, but any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in a subsequent adjustment.
(i) If any action would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one of the provisions described above, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value to the Holder of the Debentures.
