Adjustment Procedures Sample Clauses
The Adjustment Procedures clause outlines the methods and steps for modifying certain terms or figures within an agreement in response to specified events or changes in circumstances. Typically, this clause details how adjustments are calculated, who is responsible for making them, and the timeline for implementing such changes—for example, recalculating payment amounts if market indices fluctuate or if regulatory changes occur. Its core practical function is to provide a clear, agreed-upon process for handling changes, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring the contract remains fair and relevant over time.
Adjustment Procedures. The following provisions shall be applicable to adjustments to be made pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof:
Adjustment Procedures. (a) Not later than 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (i) Hippo shall submit to Rhino a certificate (the “HippoRx Estimate Certificate”) of an authorized officer of Hippo setting forth its good faith estimate of the HippoRx Working Capital (the “Estimated HippoRx Working Capital”) and (ii) Rhino shall submit to Hippo a certificate (the “RhinoRx Estimate Certificate”) of an authorized officer of Rhino setting forth its good faith estimate of the RhinoRx Working Capital (the “Estimated RhinoRx Working Capital”). The amounts set forth on the HippoRx Estimate Certificate and the RhinoRx Estimate Certificate, as the case may be, shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent with the applicable audited financial statements in the Registration Statement and shall be accompanied by appropriate information and documentation in reasonable detail supporting the calculations of the Estimated HippoRx Working Capital and the Estimated RhinoRx Working Capital, as the case may be.
(b) Following receipt of the HippoRx Estimate Certificate by Rhino and the RhinoRx Estimate Certificate by Hippo, Hippo and Rhino shall work in good faith to mutually agree on the amounts of the HippoRx Working Capital and the RhinoRx Working Capital. If Hippo and Rhino are unable to agree on the amounts of the HippoRx Working Capital or the RhinoRx Working Capital, as the case may be, within 3 Business Days following delivery of both certificates, each of Hippo and Rhino shall submit a notice (each such notice, a “Disagreement Notice”) to a mutually satisfactory nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Referee”) specifying those items or amounts as to which they each disagree. The Disagreement Notices shall set forth the nature and basis for each disagreement with respect to the HippoRx Working Capital or the RhinoRx Working Capital, as the case may be. Rhino shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts on the HippoRx Estimate Certificate (as such items and amounts may have been modified by mutual agreement of Hippo and Rhino) that Rhino does not contest in its Disagreement Notice. Hippo shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts on the RhinoRx Estimate Certificate (as such items and amounts may have been modified by mutual agreement of Hippo and Rhino) that Hippo does not contest in its Disagreement Notice.
(c) Hippo and Rhino shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Referee to promptly review this Ag...
Adjustment Procedures. (a) The Investor will have twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of the CPR Notice during which to notify NMI in writing of any objections with respect to the calculation of the CPR Payment Amount, including the value of any non-cash consideration, net third party indebtedness (“Notice of Objection”). If the Investor fails to deliver a Notice of Objection in accordance with this Section 6(a), the CPR Payment Amount shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Investor submits a Notice of Objection, then (i) for fifteen (15) Business Days after the date upon which NMI receives the Notice of Objection, the Parties will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the calculation of the disputed amounts and (ii) failing such agreement within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the Investor and NMI, acting jointly, shall refer the matter for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm. Promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm, the Investor, on the one hand, and NMI, on the other hand, shall each deliver to the Independent Accounting Firm, a notice setting forth in reasonable detail their calculation, to the extent in dispute under the Notice of Objection, of the CPR Payment Amount as of the CPR Sale Transaction Closing Date or the CPR Dividend Payment Date, as applicable. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof, the Independent Accounting Firm shall deliver its determination of the disputed amounts and of the CPR Payment Amount as of the CPR Sale Transaction Closing Date or the CPR Dividend Payment Date, as applicable, which determination shall be final and binding on each of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the only matter the Independent Accounting Firm shall have the authority to determine shall be the CPR Payment Amount, including the value of any non-cash consideration, net third party indebtedness. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid in equal proportions (i.e., 50% each) by the Investor, on the one hand, and NMI, on the other hand. The CPR Payment Amount that is final and binding on the Parties, as determined either through agreement of the Parties or through the action of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 6(a), is referred to as the “Final CPR Payment Amount”. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert under the New York CPLR.
(b) If the Final CPR Payme...

To the extent actual figures are unavailable, estimates will be used subject to final adjustments in accordance with the terms hereof.

(i) Except amounts for which the Unadjusted Purchase Price was adjusted under Section 2.4(b), (A) Asset Sellers shall be entitled to all Mineral Proceeds attributable to the Asset Seller Assets earned or attributable to periods prior to the Effective Time, which amounts are received prior to, on or after Closing Date and (B) should Purchaser receive after Closing any Mineral Proceeds to which Asset Sellers are entitled hereunder, Purchaser shall fully disclose, account for, and promptly remit the same to Asset Sellers;

Buyer will deliver the Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Target Assets Computation (together with all work papers, schedules, memorandums, and other documents used to prepare the same, in each case, in whatever form they exist) to Seller within sixty days after the Closing Date.
