Performance Adjustment One-twelfth of the annual Performance Adjustment Rate will be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the month and the performance period.
Adjustment of Conversion Price The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows: (a) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Guarantor, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Guarantor which he would have owned immediately following such action had such Security 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 distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Guarantor, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) shall determine in an equitable manner the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock. (b) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter issue rights or warrants to holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock generally entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock 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 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 would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. (c) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter distribute to holders of its outstanding Common Stock generally evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend paid from retained earnings of the Guarantor and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.05) or rights or warrants to subscribe to securities of the Guarantor (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 10.05), then in each such case the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock 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 such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. (d) In any case in which this Section 10.05 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the Guarantor may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee and the Registrar of the certificate of independent public accountants described in subsection (f) of this Section 10.05) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment. (e) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided further that adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10 (other than this subsection (e)), not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this Section 10.05 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 10.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Guarantor shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 10.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Guarantor to its shareholders shall not be taxable. (f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Company and the Guarantor shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Registrar a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and (ii) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Company and the Guarantor to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 13.02. Subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), the Trustee and any conversion agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the certificate provided for in Section 10.10 except to exhibit the same from time to time to any Holder of a Security desiring an inspection of such certificate. (g) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 10.05, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Guarantor other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article 10.
