Proportionality procedure Sample Clauses

Proportionality procedure. The proportionality procedure is applied in accordance with the statutory proportionality principle. This means that the designation of redundant employees takes place distributed across age groups and, within those, on the basis of length of service. The age groups prescribed by statutory provisions are: 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55 years-state pension age. Periods of service at Rabobank and Obvion are added up for the purpose of determining length of service, if intervals between contracts correspond to the provisions in the Redundancy Act. The duration of intervals themselves is not included. The same record date applies to everyone for the purposes of determining age. That record date is the starting date of the implementation of the reorganization or, if there are different starting dates, the proposed date as recorded in the request for advice. If, ahead of the redundancy notification meetings, there is still attrition of employees within the group of exchangeable positions, the proportionality principle has to be applied again. If there is attrition of employees in this group after the redundancy notification meetings have taken place, the ‘reverse proportionality’ method is applied. This means that in the first instance the age group is looked at in which the non-redundant, departing employee worked. The redundancy of the employee with the longest employment in this age group will be revoked in that case. If there is no (longer an) employee in this age group who has been given notice of redundancy, a reasonable explanation of the proportionality principle means that the age group designated last to provide a redundant employee now has to provide one employee less. The redundancy of the employee with the longest employment in this age group should be revoked. If two or more age groups are equally eligible, the redundancy should be revoked for the employee with the longest employment among these joint age groups. This procedure will apply up to the date of redundancy plus the reorientation period. Only those employees will be included in the application of the ‘reverse proportionality’ method in the reorientation period who continue to be employed at that time.

  • Adjustment Procedure (a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative (i) a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Merger Consideration as of the Closing Date, including an itemized statement of the Closing Working Capital and (ii) a balance sheet of the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date reflecting Buyer’s calculation of each of the components of the Merger Consideration (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with and used in preparing the Historical Financial Statements. (b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Closing Certificate and Closing Balance Sheet has been delivered to it to raise any objection(s) to the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet, by delivery of written notice to Buyer setting forth such objection(s) in reasonable detail (the “Disputed Items”). In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative shall not deliver any such objection(s) with respect to the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet within such 30-day period, then the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed final for purposes of this Section 2.10 and this Agreement. In the event that any such objection(s) are so delivered, the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed not final and Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve the Disputed Items and, if they are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items within 30 days of delivery of such notice, shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or such earlier date as mutually agreed), submit the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital to the Independent Accounting Firm. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide to the Independent Accounting Firm all work papers and back-up materials relating to the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital reasonably requested by the Independent Accounting Firm to the extent available to the Surviving Corporation or its Representatives, Buyer or its Representatives or the Stockholders’ Representative or its Representatives. Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be afforded an opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accounting Firm. The Independent Accounting Firm will (i) resolve only the outstanding Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for any item by either party or smaller than the smallest value claimed for any item by either party, and (ii) re-calculate the Merger Consideration as of the Closing Date using the calculations set forth in the Closing Certificate, as modified only by (A) the Independent Accounting Firm’s resolution of the outstanding Disputed Items and/or (B) the written agreement of Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative. The determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days after the submission of the Disputed Items related to the Closing Working Capital to the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative and all Securityholders. The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne by the party whose positions generally did not prevail in such determination, as determined by such Independent Accounting Firm, or if the Independent Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party, then such fees, costs and expenses will be borne 50% by the Stockholders’ Representative (payable solely out of the Representative Fund) and 50% by Buyer. (c) At such time as the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet shall become final in accordance with Section 2.10(b), the Merger Consideration determined in accordance with the final Closing Certificate (the “Final Merger Consideration”) shall be compared to the Estimated Merger Consideration. If the Estimated Merger Consideration is greater than the Final Merger Consideration, the Securityholders shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such excess (the “Adjusted Working Capital Deficiency”). Any payment to be made by the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) shall be made, within five (5) Business Days from the date that the Closing Certificate and the Closing Balance Sheet are finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10, first by release of such amount from the Escrow Fund, second, if necessary, from the Representative Fund, and, third, if necessary, from the Securityholders (other than the holders of Dissenting Shares). If the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration, the amount by which the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration shall be referred to as the “Adjusted Working Capital Surplus”. Buyer shall pay to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Securityholders (other than former holders of Company Vested Options who are employees of any of the Acquired Companies at the time of such payment and holders of Dissenting Shares), the portion of the Adjusted Working Capital Surplus payable to such Securityholders (net of any applicable Tax withholding amounts as contemplated by Section 2.14) within five (5) Business Days from the date that the Closing Certificate is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.10. At such time, Buyer also shall make available to the Surviving Corporation the portion of the Adjusted Working Capital Surplus payable to the former holders of Company Vested Options who are employees of any of the Acquired Companies at the time of such payment and the Surviving Corporation shall make the payments to such former holders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, net of any applicable Tax withholding amounts contemplated by Section 2.14, via a regular or special payroll run, in accordance with its regular payroll practices. (d) From and after the delivery of the Closing Certificate, the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants, lawyers and representatives will be given full access at all reasonable times to (and shall be allowed to make copies of) the books and records of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and to any personnel of the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries reasonably requested by such persons, in each case solely in connection with their review of Buyer calculations and determination of the final Merger Consideration or any dispute relating thereto. (e) If, for any reason, Buyer fails to deliver the Closing Certificate within the time period required by Section 2.10(a), the Estimated Working Capital set forth in the Estimated Closing Certificate delivered by the Company to Buyer prior to the Closing shall be considered for all purposes of this Agreement to be Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital in Buyer’s “Closing Certificate” and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have all of its rights under this Section 2.10 with respect to such certificate.

  • Indemnity Procedure A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within sixty (60) Business Days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than twenty (20) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim. In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties (subject to the execution of appropriate non-disclosure agreements) as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof. With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party. With regard to other claims for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid promptly by the Indemnifying Party upon demand by the Indemnified Party.

  • Payment Procedure (a) The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf), in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account and/or related Companion Distribution Account (each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such payments to the applicable account within one Business Day of receipt of properly identified and available funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (provided, that to the extent that any payment is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any given Business Day, the Master Servicer is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to deposit such payments into the applicable account within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such properly identified and available funds but, in any event, the Master Servicer is required to deposit such payments into the applicable account within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such properly identified and available funds). (b) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to any Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto. (c) If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder. (d) Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

  • PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMME The proposed mobility programme includes the indicative start and end months of the agreed study programme that the student will carry out abroad. The Learning Agreement must include all the educational components to be carried out by the student at the receiving institution (in table A) and it must contain as well the group of educational components that will be replaced in his/her degree by the sending institution (in table B) upon successful completion of the study programme abroad. Additional rows can be added as needed to tables A and B. Additional columns can also be added, for example, to specify the study cycle-level of the educational component. The presentation of this document may also be adapted by the institutions according to their specific needs. However, in every case, the two tables A and B must be kept separated, i.e. they cannot be merged. The objective is to make clear that there needs to be no one to one correspondence between the courses followed abroad and the ones replaced at the sending institutions. The aim is rather that a group of learning outcomes achieved abroad replaces a group of learning outcomes at the sending institution, without having a one to one correspondence between particular modules or courses. A normal academic year of full-time study is normally made up of educational components totalling 60 ECTS* credits. It is recommended that for mobility periods shorter than a full academic year, the educational components selected should equate to a roughly proportionate number of credits. In case the student follows additional educational components beyond those required for his/her degree programme, these additional credits must also be listed in the study programme outlined in table A. When mobility windows are embedded in the curriculum, it will be enough to fill in table B with a single line as described below: Component code (if any) Component title (as indicated in the course catalogue) at the sending institution Semester [autumn / spring] [or term] Number of ECTS* credits Mobility window … Total: 30 Otherwise, the group of components will be included in Table B as follows: Component code (if any) Component title (as indicated in the course catalogue) at the sending institution Semester [autumn / spring] [or term] Number of ECTS* credits Course x … 10 Module y … 10 Laboratory work … 10 Total: 30 The sending institution must fully recognise the number of ECTS* credits contained in table A if there are no changes to the study programme abroad and the student successfully completes it. Any exception to this rule should be clearly stated in an annex of the Learning Agreement and agreed by all parties. Example of justification for non-recognition: the student has already accumulated the number of credits required for his/her degree and does not need some of the credits gained abroad. Since the recognition will be granted to a group of components and it does not need to be based on a one to one correspondence between single educational components, the sending institution must foresee which provisions will apply if the student does not successfully complete some of the educational components from his study programme abroad. A web link towards these provisions should be provided in the Learning Agreement. The student will commit to reach a certain level of language competence in the main language of instruction by the start of the study period. The level of the student will be assessed after his/her selection with the Erasmus+ online assessment tool when available (the results will be sent to the sending institution) or else by any other mean to be decided by the sending institution. A recommended level has been agreed between the sending and receiving institutions in the inter-institutional agreement. In case the student would not already have this level when he/she signs the Learning Agreement, he/she commits to reach it with the support to be provided by the sending or receiving institution (either with courses that can be funded by the organisational support grant or with the Erasmus+ online tutored courses). All parties must sign the document; however, it is not compulsory to circulate papers with original signatures, scanned copies of signatures or digital signatures may be accepted, depending on the national legislation. * In countries where the "ECTS" system it is not in place, in particular for institutions located in partner countries not participating in the Bologna process, "ECTS" needs to be replaced in all tables by the name of the equivalent system that is used and a weblink to an explanation to the system should be added. The section to be completed during the mobility is needed only if changes have to be introduced into the original Learning Agreement. In that case, the section to be completed before the mobility should be kept unchanged and changes should be described in this section. Changes to the mobility study programme should be exceptional, as the three parties have already agreed on a group of educational components that will be taken abroad, in the light of the course catalogue that the receiving institution has committed to publish well in advance of the mobility periods and to update regularly as ECHE holder. However, introducing changes might be unavoidable due to, for example, timetable conflicts. Other reasons for a change can be the request for an extension of the duration of the mobility programme abroad. Such a request can be made by the student at the latest one month before the foreseen end date. These changes to the mobility study programme should be agreed by all parties within four to seven weeks (after the start of each semester). Any party can request changes within the first two to five-week period after regular classes/educational components have started for a given semester. The exact deadline has to be decided by the institutions. The shorter the planned mobility period, the shorter should be the window for changes. All these changes have to be agreed by the three parties within a two-week period following the request. In case of changes due to an extension of the duration of the mobility period, changes should be made as timely as possible as well. Changes to the study programme abroad should be listed in table C and, once they are agreed by all parties, the sending institution commits to fully recognise the number of ECTS credits as presented in table C. Any exception to this rule should be documented in an annex of the Learning Agreement and agreed by all parties. Only if the changes described in table C affect the group of educational components in the student's degree (table B) that will be replaced at the sending institution upon successful completion of the study programme abroad, a revised version should be inserted and labelled as "Table D: Revised group of educational components in the student's degree that will be replaced at sending institution". Additional rows and columns can be added as needed to tables C and D. All parties must confirm that the proposed amendments to the Learning Agreement are approved. For this specific section, original or scanned signatures are not mandatory and an approval by email may be enough. The procedure has to be decided by the sending institution, depending on the national legislation.

  • Commercial Price List Reductions Where NYS Net Prices are based on a discount from Contractor’s list prices, price decreases shall take effect automatically during the Contract term and apply to Purchase Orders submitted on or after the date Contractor lowers its pricing to its customers generally or to similarly situated government customers during the Contract term; or
