How is Current Number defined in a legal contract?
- Current Number means the most recent Index issued for the final month of the period being discussed. This is given by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or another applicable [agency] if they are publishing the Index. If not, it's an index of consumer prices considered comparable to the Index by the [organization]. Adjustments may be required to account for changes dating back to January 1, 1984 in the base, items included, or the manner they are compiled. Seen in 6 SEC Filings
- Current Number means the index figure immediately before the month in which commences the particular Lease Period. If the most recent Current Number is higher than the Base Number, then the Fixed Minimum Rent for the upcoming Lease Period will increase to a sum product achieved by multiplying the Fixed Minimum Rent specified in [clause] of this lease by a fraction. This fraction's numerator is the Current Number, and its denominator is the Base Number. This increased Fixed Minimum Rent remains effective throughout the Lease Period following the latest Current Number. Seen in 3 SEC Filings
