Possible. “Undoing” of a Change in Control. If a report is filed with the SEC disclosing that a person (the “Acquiror”) is or has become a beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities and, as a result of that filing, a Change in Control, as defined in Paragraph 1(a), above, occurs, while Employee is in the employ of the Company, then, as provided in Paragraph 1, above, this Agreement will become immediately operative. However, if:
Possible solutions The programme involves activities with the ASEAN Member States as well as with the ASEAN Secretariat. Capacity development measures will cover four dimensions ranging from individuals to ASEAN bodies, networks and the policy level. As discussed, among others, during the workshop on 28 June 2010 with representatives from the SOM-AMAF, and agreed upon in the “Agreed Minutes” of the project appraisal mission, the Module “Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies in Support of the AFCC” will consist of two components as outlined below. The thematic packages as well as respective indicators and outcomes are aligned to the AFCC Components and Strategic Thrusts; they can be clearly attributed to the matrix of indicative activities on the implementation of the AFCC, which was welcomed by the Special-Som-31st AMAF Meeting in August 2010 in Brunei Darussalam. Thematic Packages for Component (1) on Forest Issues of the AFCC: ▪ Forest Certification / Sustainable Forest Management (SFM); ▪ Forest Governance and Finance; ▪ XXXX-plus (Forests and Climate Change). The expected impact of the respective packages will be: ▪ There is an agreement on regional standards for certification of SFM and national implementation. ▪ Framework conditions for successful participation in important / relevant processes (REDD+, FLEG, certification) are (further) supported. ▪ ASEAN-Member States can implement REDD+ more efficiently and effectively. Thematic Packages for Component (2) on Climate Response Strategies and Climate- Proofing: ▪ Adaptation and mitigation in key (cross-border) agricultural/forestry value chains; ▪ Adaptation strategies for vulnerable sub-regions for integration into the regional economy while reducing climate risks; ▪ Climate-proofing (mainstreaming) for ASEAN investment programmes and activities in the agriculture and forestry sectors; ▪ Cross-cutting: capacity building for ASEC and others, performance management, networking. The expected impact of the respective packages will be: ▪ ASEAN uses recommendations to develop and approve policies and strategies for adaptation and mitigation and their financing in key value chains. ▪ ASEAN uses recommendations to develop and approve policies and strategies for coordinated support to adaptation (and mitigation) in most vulnerable regions. ▪ ASEAN uses a robust-tested methodology to climate-proof its investment programmes and activities in the agriculture and forestry sectors.
Possible. (1) This Agreement shall be ratified. Instruments of ratification shall be exchanged at The Hague as soon as
Possible. There is a temporal coincidence between intake of study medication and occurrence of the adverse event. A contribution of the study medication is possible (e.g. due to the pharmacological properties of the study medication), but other explanations are also possible (e.g. underlying disease, concomitant medication).
Possible. The relationship with the use of the investigational device or comparator, or the relationship with procedures, is weak but cannot be ruled out completely. Alternative causes are also possible (e.g., an underlying or concurrent illness/ clinical condition or/and an effect of another device, drug or treatment). Cases where relatedness cannot be assessed, or no information has been obtained should also be classified as possible.
Possible. Answer 13 Under the Telecommunications Business Law, as long as terminal facilities meet certain technical standards and customer-provided telecommunications facilities meet certain circumstances, network-based suppliers cannot refuse requests made by owners of those facilities to connect network-based suppliers' lines to those facilities. Answer 14 Authorization from MPT is necessary for an agreement to interconnect telecommunications facilities between Type I Carriers. With respect to agreements on interconnection between Special Type II Carriers, when either or both parties concerned supply international VAN services, authorization from MPT is required. In other cases, notification to MPT on such agreements is required. Answer 15 Under the Japanese law, network-based suppliers are not required to provide interconnection for other basic telecommunications networks or service suppliers. However, MPT retains the authority to order them to enter into an agreement on interconnection at the request from the party (parties) concerned in accordance with provisions of the Telecommunications Business Law, in the following cases: when negotiations for such interconnection fail to be conducted or come to an agreement, and when MPT deems interconnection especially necessary and appropriate to promote the public interest. Answer 16 It is permitted. Answer 17 As mentioned in Answer 14 above, authorization from MPT is required for an agreement on interconnection between Type I Carriers etc. Agreements on interconnection, including interconnection charges, may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. However, unfair or discriminatory treatment is not allowed. The publication of such agreements depends on intention of the carriers who concluded the agreement. Answer 18 There are no safeguards against anti-competitive practices of monopolies or dominant suppliers. However, as mentioned in Answers 14 and 15, certain criteria are set for interconnection. In the case of NTT, in order to promote fair and effective competition, measures have been taken: - to separate mobile communications business from NTT, - to introduce an independent division system in NTT, - and to prevent cross-subsidization inside NTT, etc., based on "measures in accordance with Article 2 of Supplementary Provisions of the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Law". Answer 19 There are no relevant safeguards because no distinction is made between dominant telecommunications service suppliers and other...
Possible. “red flags” to watch out for The UK authorities are given wide discretion by the Bribery Act and everyone is watching closely to see where they draw the line in practice in the numerous grey areas that exist in the legislation. Whilst the following are not necessarily examples of bribery or improper conduct, they are “red flags” which should make you think very carefully before proceeding. ● Any request for a fee to help “oil the wheels” of a commercial deal or tender, or to release goods from customs or speed up a regulatory application ● A counterparty that requests payment to a third party or involving several individuals and companies where there is no obvious relationship between them. ● Transactions where money or property is passed through a consultant or representative with the aim of obtaining or influencing certain government actions or approvals. ● A suggestion that some form of “thank you” would be appropriate in return for past or future business. ● The provision of unusually lavish corporate hospitality or a request that you provide such hospitality. ● A refusal by a counterparty or agent to accept an anti-bribery clause in an agreement.
