ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT Beginning twelve (12) months after the effective date of this Contract and for every annual anniversary thereafter, the prices set forth in Exhibit B – Prices for Equipment Rental shall be adjusted, based upon the percent changes (whether up or down) in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) indices described below, for the most recent year. Economic adjustment shall lag one (1) calendar quarter past the Contract commencement date to allow for publication of BLS data. All calculations for the index shall be based upon the latest version of data published as of the most recent quarter. Prices shall be adjusted on the quarter following the price adjustment. Price adjustments will be made in accordance with the percentage change in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index (PPI), for Construction, Mining, and Forestry Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing Industry, NAICS 532412, issued for the prior 12 months of each contract term. The percentage difference in the PPI for the prior 12 months will determine the maximum allowable adjustment of original contract prices. No retroactive contract price adjustments shall be allowed. If an index is recoded (i.e., the recoded index is a direct substitute for the prior index according to the BLS), this Contract will use the recoded index, as applicable. If an index becomes unavailable, Enterprise Services shall substitute a proxy index. If there is not a direct substitute, the next higher aggregate index available will be used. The economic adjustment shall be calculated as follows: New Price = Old Price x (Current Period Index/Base Period Index). Contractor shall not make contract extensions contingent on price adjustments.
Market Adjustment The parties to this Agreement recognize the appropriateness of market pay adjustments in rare instances for compelling reasons. To effectuate judgments in such cases, the President and AAUP Chapter President, in consultation, shall each name three (3) individuals to a university Market Evaluation Committee. Deans may submit recommendations for market pay adjustments with supporting written reasons to the committee. Said Committee shall consult with the President concerning proposed market pay adjustments reporting its advice not later than May 15 in each year. Upon the favorable recommendation of the President and the Chancellor, market pay adjustments may be approved effective at the beginning of that pay period including September 1 of the following year. Not more than one (1) market pay adjustment per one hundred (100) full-time members, or fraction thereof, may be recommended in any contract year. A member’s salary may not be increased beyond the maximum for the rank. Funding for this program shall be governed by Article 12.10.2.
Tax Adjustment Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Calendar Year that amount (the "TAX ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT") which is Tenant's Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes incurred with respect to such Calendar Year exceed the Tax Base Amount. The Tax Adjustment Amount with respect to each Calendar Year shall be paid in monthly installments, in an amount estimated from time to time by Landlord and communicated by written notice to Tenant. Following the close of each Calendar Year, Landlord shall cause the amount of the Tax Adjustment Amount for such Calendar Year to be computed based on Taxes for such Calendar Year and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of such amount and Tenant shall pay any deficiency as shown by such statement to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of such statement. If the total of the estimated monthly installments paid by Tenant during any Calendar Year exceeds the actual Tax Adjustment Amount due from Tenant for such Calendar Year, then, at Landlord's option such excess shall be either credited against payments next due hereunder or refunded by Landlord, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder. The amount of any refund of Taxes received by Landlord shall be credited against Taxes for the year in which such refund is received. In determining the amount of Taxes for any year, the amount of special assessments to be included shall be limited to the amount of the installment (plus any interest payable thereon) of such special assessment required to be paid during such year as if the Landlord had elected to have such special assessment paid over the maximum 4. period of time permitted by law; if the authority to whom such assessment is to be paid shall not permit such assessment to be paid in installments, the amount of such assessment shall be treated as being amortized over such number of calendar years, beginning with the Calendar Year in which the assessment is payable, as Landlord shall reasonably determine, with interest at the rate of 15% per annum on the unamortized amount, and such amortization and interest for each Calendar Year shall be included in Taxes for that Calendar Year.
