Management Negotiations (a) The Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreements by prompt negotiations between each Party’s Authorized Representative, or such other person designated in writing as a representative of the Party (each a “Manager”). Either Manager may request a meeting (in person or telephonically) to initiate negotiations to be held within ten (10) Business Days of the other Party’s receipt of such request, at a mutually agreed time and place. If the matter is not resolved within fifteen (15) Business Days of their first meeting (“Initial Negotiation End Date”), the Managers shall refer the matter to the designated senior officers of their respective companies (“Executive(s)”), who shall have authority to settle the dispute. Within five (5) Business Days of the Initial Negotiation End Date (“Referral Date”), each Party shall provide one another written Notice confirming the referral and identifying the name and title of the Executive who will represent the Party.
Joint Negotiation The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the parties intend that this Agreement be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and that no presumption or burden of proof arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Contract Negotiations Where operational requirements permit, and on reasonable notice, the Employer shall grant special leave with pay for not more than two (2) representatives of each bargaining unit for the purpose of attending contract negotiation meetings with the Employer on behalf of the Union. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No Negotiations Neither Company nor any Shareholder will directly or indirectly (through a representative or otherwise) solicit or furnish any information to any prospective buyer, commence, or conduct presently ongoing, negotiations with any other party or enter into any agreement with any other party concerning the sale of Company, Company's assets or business or any part thereof or any equity securities of Company (an "acquisition proposal"), and Company and Shareholders shall immediately advise Buyer of the receipt of any acquisition proposal.
Other Negotiations Neither the Company nor the Sole Stockholder will (nor will they permit any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and affiliates on their behalf to) take any action to solicit, initiate, seek, encourage or support any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any corporation, partnership, person or other entity or group (other than Parent) regarding any acquisition of the Company, any merger or consolidation with or involving the Company or any acquisition of any material portion of the stock or assets of the Company or any equity or debt financing of the Company or any material license of Intellectual Property rights or any business combination, recapitalization, joint venture or other major transaction involving the business of the Company (any of the foregoing being referred to in this Agreement as an “Acquisition Transaction”) or enter into an agreement concerning any Acquisition Transaction with any party other than Parent. If between the date of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XI, the Company receives from a third party any offer to negotiate or consummate an Acquisition Transaction, the Company shall (i) notify Parent immediately (orally and in writing) of such offer, including the identity of such party and the terms of any proposal therein, and (ii) notify such third party of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.
Mutual Negotiations This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.
Commencement of Negotiations Within five (5) days of satisfaction of the public notice requirement, and not later than forty-five (45) days following submission of the proposal, negotiations shall commence at a mutually acceptable time and place for the purpose of considering changes in this Agreement.
Exclusive Negotiations The State will not bargain collectively or meet with any employee organization other than MSEA-SEIU with reference to terms and conditions of employment of employees covered by this Agreement. If any such organizations request meetings they will be advised by the State to transmit their requests concerning terms and conditions of employment to MSEA-SEIU.
Future Negotiations If at any time prior to termination of this Amendment the Custodian as a matter of standard business practice, accepts delegation as Foreign Custody Manager for its U.S. mutual fund clients on terms materially different than set forth in this Amendment, the Custodian hereby agrees to negotiate with each Fund in good faith with respect thereto.
LEAVE FOR PROVINCIAL CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS 1. The employer shall grant a leave of absence without pay to an employee designated by the BCTF for the purpose of preparing for, participating in or conducting negotiations as a member of the provincial bargaining team of the BCTF.
