Increasing numbers. Although women in prison are a minority that on average – but certainly not in every case – receives relatively short sentences, bringing down the number of women in prison should still be a priority. Female imprisonment has a high financial and social cost,98 and its effects are often negative.99 What is more, the female prison population has increased dramatically over the last decade, which makes the problem of female imprisonment even more urgent. The inventory below provides several suggestions to bring the numbers down:100 – Decriminalization or a different focus in prosecution policy may be effectuated in relation to some of the smaller crimes. Women are generally in prison for a relatively short time, usually for the smaller, non-violent crimes. In order to reduce the number of women in prison, governments could consider decriminalizing some of these crimes (e.g. the use of narcotic drugs), or focus on the instigators of certain social problems instead of on the victims (e.g. prosecute drug dealers instead of drug users).101 – Pre-trial detention could be used more sparingly. Although international human rights law does not set a standard as to which crimes provide a reason for detention, detention must be proportionate (reasonable relative to the crime of which the detainee is suspected and to the risks averted by detention) and necessary (detention may only be applied if all less severe avenues are 97 See also the thematic chapter by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on the implications of this problem in Thailand. 98 The social cost of female imprisonment is also stressed by the CPT in Doc. CPT/Inf (2000) 13, para. 28. 99 See the point below, ‘Prison sentences could be avoided for the lowest-level criminality.’ 100 Four of these points (the second, third, fourth and fifth) have been based on the suggestions at the end of the thematic chapter by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Part II of this volume. 101 On the use of decriminalisation and prosecutorial discretion in the case of drugs, this guide to policy reform – by a working group of government officials and experts in the areas of gender, human rights and drug policy from 10 Latin-American countries – may be of interest: Women, drug policies and incarceration: a guide to policy reform in Latin America and the Caribbean (2016), at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/sites/default/files/WOLA%20WOME N%20FINAL%20ver%2025%2002%201016.pdf (last visited July 2016).

  • Increase (a) The Company may by giving prior notice to the Agent by no later than the date falling 20 Business Days after the effective date of a cancellation of: (i) the Available Commitments of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Clause 9.5 (Right of cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender); or (ii) the Commitments of a Lender in accordance with Clause 9.1 (Illegality), request that the Total Commitments be increased (and the Total Commitments shall be so increased) in an aggregate Base Currency Amount of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Commitments so cancelled as follows: (iii) the increased Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other banks, financial institutions, trusts, funds or other entities (each an “Increase Lender”) selected by the Company (each of which shall not be an Investor Affiliate or a member of the Group) and which is further acceptable to the Agent (acting reasonably) and each of which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender; (iv) each of the Obligors and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Obligors and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender; (v) each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender; (vi) the Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and (vii) any increase in the Total Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Company in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (b) below are satisfied. (b) An increase in the Total Commitments will only be effective on: (i) the execution by the Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender; (ii) in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase: (A) the Increase Lender entering into the documentation required for it to accede as a party to the Intercreditor Agreement; and (B) the performance by the Agent of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Commitments by that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Agent shall promptly notify to the Company and the Increase Lender. (c) Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective. (d) Unless the Agent otherwise agrees or the increased Commitment is assumed by an existing Lender, the Company shall, on the date upon which the increase takes effect, pay to the Agent (for its own account) a fee of £1,500 and the Company shall within three (3) Business Days of demand pay the Agent and the Security Agent the amount of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by either of them and, in the case of the Security Agent, by any Receiver or Delegate in connection with any increase in Commitments under this Clause 2.2. (e) The Company may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Company and the Increase Lender in a Fee Letter. (f) Clause 27.4 (Limitation of responsibility of Existing Lenders) shall apply mutatis mutandis in this Clause 2.2 in relation to an Increase Lender as if references in that Clause to: (i) an “Existing Lender” were references to all the Lenders immediately prior to the relevant increase; (ii) the “New Lender” were references to that “Increase Lender”; and (iii) a “re-transfer” and “re-assignment” were references to respectively a “transfer” and “assignment”.

  • Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights (a) The Exercise Price, the number and kind of securities subject to purchase upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.3. (b) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Time and prior to the Expiration Date: (i) declare or pay a dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares or other capital stock of the Corporation (or Convertible Securities) other than pursuant to any optional stock dividend program, Dividend Reinvestment Plan or dividend payable in Common Shares in lieu of a regular periodic cash dividend; (ii) subdivide or change the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; (iii) consolidate or change the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or (iv) issue any Common Shares or other capital stock of the Corporation (or Convertible Securities) in respect of, in lieu of, or in exchange for existing Common Shares; then the Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding or, if the payment or effective date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights, shall be adjusted in the manner set forth below. If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted: (i) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment shall be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of Common Shares (or other capital stock) (the “Expansion Factor”) that a holder of one Common Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof (assuming the exercise of all such purchase, exercise, conversion or exchange rights, if any); and (ii) each Right held prior to such adjustment shall become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor and the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be distributed among the Common Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the Common Shares issued or issuable in respect of such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance, so that each such Common Share (or other capital stock) will have exactly one Right associated with it. For greater certainty, if the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof. To the extent that such rights of purchase, exercise, conversion or exchange are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or Convertible Securities) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. If after the Effective Time and prior to the Expiration Date, the Corporation shall issue any shares of capital stock other than Common Shares in a transaction of a type described in Clause 2.3(b)(i) or (iv), shares of such capital stock shall be treated herein as nearly equivalent to Common Shares as may be practicable and appropriate under the circumstances and the Corporation and the Rights Agent shall amend or supplement this Agreement in order to effect such treatment. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 2.3 and Section 3.1, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 3.1. Adjustments pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be made successively, whenever an event referred to in Section 2.3 occurs. If the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Time and prior to the Separation Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a transaction referred to in this Subsection 2.3(b), each such Common Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such associated Common Share. (c) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the issuance to all holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or Convertible Securities pursuant to which the holder may acquire Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or, if a Convertible Security having a purchase, exercise, conversion or exchange price, including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable security or right, per share) less than 90% of the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in the manner set forth below. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date shall equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities or rights)) would purchase at such Market Price per Common Share and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash (the “Non-Cash Consideration”), the reasonable present cash value of such Non-Cash Consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (by Board Resolution) whose determination shall be described in a resolution (and an accompanying set of written instructions to the Rights Agent in respect of the mechanics of the delivery to and acceptance by the Rights Agent of such Non-Cash Consideration) filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of Rights. Such resolution shall also confirm the amount to be credited for the issue of such Common Shares and shall confirm that in the opinion of the Board of Directors, the present cash value of the sum of the cash consideration, if any, and the Non- Cash Consideration for the issue is not less than the amount for the issue of the Common Shares. To the extent that such rights of purchase, exercise, conversion or exchange are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury shares or otherwise) pursuant to any Dividend Reinvestment Plan or similar plans (so long as such right to purchase is in no case evidenced by the delivery of rights or warrants) shall not be deemed to constitute an issue of rights or warrants by the Corporation; provided, however, that, in the case of any Dividend Reinvestment Plan or similar plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90% of the current market price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares. (d) In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a Regular Periodic Cash Dividend (as defined below) or a dividend paid in Common Shares) or rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Subsection 2.3(c)), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, by Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so to be distributed applicable to the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed.
