Underwriting Compensation Determination and Cap The maximum amounts set forth in clauses (a) and (c) above are considered underwriting compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110. A portion of the amounts payable by Masterworks pursuant to clause (b) above along with any amounts paid or payable by Masterworks or Client or any of their respective affiliates to ((or benefits paid in respect of) any related person of the Co-Managers is generally deemed to be underwriting compensation. Any such amounts shall be allocated to the Offering and other related offerings in a manner deemed to be reasonable and appropriate by each of the Co-Managers, consistent with FINRA rules and regulations to determine underwriting compensation relating to the Offering. To the extent such allocation would be determined to result in maximum underwriting compensation being equal to or in excess of 10% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds, the Parties will adjust the provisions of this Agreement or the Client will adjust the terms of employment of persons affiliated with either of the Co-Managers in such manner as is reasonable and necessary to ensure that aggregate underwriting compensation does not equal or exceed 10% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. The total amount of all items of compensation from any source payable to underwriters, broker-dealers, or affiliates thereof will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds of the offering.
Determination of Gross-Up Payment Subject to sub-paragraph (c) below, all determinations required to be made under this Section 6, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by the firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company to audit its financial statements for the year immediately preceding the Change in Control (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and the Executive within 30 days after the date of the Executive's termination of employment. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group affecting the Change of Control, the Executive may appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required under this Section 6 (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm"). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the work it performs pursuant to this Section 6 shall be promptly paid by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion that failure to report the Excise Tax on the Executive's applicable federal income tax return would not result in the imposition of a penalty. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made ("Underpayment"). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to sub-paragraph (c) below, and the Executive is thereafter required to make a payment of Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall promptly determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 5 days after such determination. Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement
PARTICIPANT NONDEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS The Plan: (Choose (a) or (b); (c) is available only with (b)) [X] (a) Does not permit Participant nondeductible contributions. [ ] (b) Permits Participant nondeductible contributions, pursuant to Section 14.04 of the Plan.
Company Determination Final Any determination that the Company or its Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article 6 shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, absent manifest error, and set forth in a Board Resolution.
Determination of Excise Tax Liability Unless the Company and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, the Company will select a professional services firm (the “Firm”) to make all determinations required under this Section 6, which determinations will be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm reasonably may request in order to make determinations under this Section 6. The Company will bear the costs and make all payments for the Firm’s services in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. The Company will have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of the Firm.
Distribution of Excess Contributions If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ADP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess contributions are the amount of deferral contributions made by the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ADP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest ADP, reducing his ADP (but not below the next highest ADP), then, if necessary, reducing the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest ADP level (including the ADP of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose ADP the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the average ADP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ADP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess contributions assigned to the family unit.
DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS The Advisory Committee will determine excess aggregate contributions after determining excess deferrals under Section 14.07 and excess contributions under Section 14.08. If the Advisory Committee determines the Plan fails to satisfy the ACP test for a Plan Year, it must distribute the excess aggregate contributions, as adjusted for allocable income, during the next Plan Year. However, the Employer will incur an excise tax equal to 10% of the amount of excess aggregate contributions for a Plan Year not distributed to the appropriate Highly Compensated Employees during the first 2 1/2 months of that next Plan Year. The excess aggregate contributions are the amount of aggregate contributions allocated on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employees which causes the Plan to fail to satisfy the ACP test. The Advisory Committee will distribute to each Highly Compensated Employee his respective share of the excess aggregate contributions. The Advisory Committee will determine the respective shares of excess aggregate contributions by starting with the Highly Compensated Employee(s) who has the greatest contribution percentage, reducing his contribution percentage (but not below the next highest contribution percentage), then, if necessary, reducing the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) at the next highest contribution percentage level (including the contribution percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee(s) whose contribution percentage the Advisory Committee already has reduced), and continuing in this manner until the ACP for the Highly Compensated Group satisfies the ACP test. If the Highly Compensated Employee is part of an aggregated family group, the Advisory Committee, in accordance with the applicable Treasury regulations, will determine each aggregated family member's allocable share of the excess aggregate contributions assigned to the family unit.
Interest Determination Dates The interest rate applicable to a Floating Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the particular “Interest Determination Date”, which will be: (1) with respect to the Federal Funds Open Rate—the related Interest Reset Date; (2) with respect to the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate—the Business Day immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate—the second Business Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (4) with respect to the Constant Maturity Swap Rate—the second U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the related Interest Reset Date, provided, however, that if after attempting to determine the Constant Maturity Swap Rate, such rate is not determinable for a particular Interest Determination Date, then such Interest Determination Date shall be the first U.S. Government Securities business day preceding the original interest determination date for which the Constant Maturity Swap Rate can be determined; (5) with respect to LIBOR—the second London Banking Day (as defined below) preceding the related Interest Reset Date; and (6) with respect to the Treasury Rate—the day of the week in which the related Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the preceding Friday); provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date, the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset Basis is determinable. “London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the LIBOR Currency) in London.
Determination Date The Business Day immediately preceding the related Remittance Date.
Determination of Amount In lieu of the payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Units for which this Purchase Option is exercisable (and in lieu of being entitled to receive Common Stock and Warrants) in the manner required by Section 2.1, the Holder shall have the right (but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable but unexercised portion of this Purchase Option into Units ("Conversion Right") as follows: upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any of the Exercise Price in cash) that number of shares of Common Stock and Warrants comprising that number of Units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the "Value" (as defined below) of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted by (y) the Current Market Value (as defined below). The "Value" of the portion of the Purchase Option being converted shall equal the remainder derived from subtracting (a) (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Units underlying the portion of this Purchase Option being converted from (b) the Current Market Value of a Unit multiplied by the number of Units underlying the portion of the Purchase Option being converted. As used herein, the term "Current Market Value" per Unit at any date means the remainder derived from subtracting (x) the exercise price of the Warrants multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants underlying one Unit from (y) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of one Unit. The "Current Market Price" of a share of Common Stock shall mean (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), the last sale price of the Common Stock in the principal trading market for the Common Stock as reported by the exchange, Nasdaq or the NASD, as the case may be; (ii) if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the NASD OTC Bulletin Board (or successor such as the Bulletin Board Exchange), but is traded in the residual over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date in question for which such quotations are reported by the Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Common Stock cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine, in good faith.
