Common use of By Universal Clause in Contracts

By Universal. Universal shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Universal Takeover Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining Universal Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide written Universal Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of Universal determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Universal Superior Proposal, and which Universal Takeover Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.3, Universal may, if its Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Universal under Applicable Laws, and subject to compliance with Section 7.3(c) and after giving Hanover written notice of such determination, (x) furnish information with respect to Universal and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Universal Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that all such information has previously been provided to Hanover or is provided to Hanover prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Universal Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Universal Takeover Proposal.
