BASIS FOR AGREEMENT. Monsanto desires to conduct a pilot project that will evaluate two aspects of Rosetta's technologies. One part of the project will evaluate the Resolver-TM- Expression Data Analysis System ("Resolver-TM- System"). Rosetta and Monsanto both have possession of gene expression data that will be used for evaluation of the Resolver. The second part of the project will evaluate Rosetta's FlexJet-TM- microarray technology including arrays ("F1exJet~ Arrays") and array design capabilities ("Array Design"). For evaluation of the FlexJet~ Arrays and Array Design, Monsanto has possession of gene sequence information that will be provided to Rosetta for the construction of arrays and Monsanto has possession of nucleic acid material that will be provided to Rosetta for hybridizing to microarrays ("Sample RNA"). Rosetta has expertise in the area of using microarrays and analyzing microarray data to determine gene expression. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions under which (a) Monsanto will evaluate the Resolver, (b) Rosetta will conduct experiments using FlexJet-TM- Arrays constructed using sequence information provided by Monsanto and hybridized with Sample RNA and provide Monsanto with an analysis of the data generated from such experiments, (c) both parties will evaluate the data generated, and (d) the conditions under which a follow-on collaboration between Monsanto and Rosetta would take place.
BASIS FOR AGREEMENT. Corixa has samples of normal and diseased tissues and wants to obtain information about the difference between those tissues. Corixa has or will make certain nucleic acid material including cDNA for constructing microarrays ("PCR Product" described in Section 2 below) and ribonucleic acid samples from the normal and diseased tissues for hybridizing to microarrays ("Sample RNA"). Corixa desires to know which genes are expressed in cells in the diseased tissue relative to the normal tissue. Rosetta has expertise in the area of using microarrays and analyzing microarray data to determine gene expression. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the terms and conditions under which (a) Corixa will supply Rosetta with PCR Product and Sample RNA, and (b) Rosetta will conduct experiments using microarrays constructed using PCR Product and hybridized with Sample RNA and provide Corixa with an analysis of the data generated from such experiments. The procedures that each party will follow in performing this Agreement are set forth in the provisions herein and in Appendix A hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
BASIS FOR AGREEMENT. A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among City and Design-Builder. A Construction Change Directive may or may not be agreed to by Design-Builder.
BASIS FOR AGREEMENT.
A. The Ports of Tacoma and Seattle (“Ports”) are separate port districts governed by locally elected port commissioners. They are 30 miles apart on Puget Sound. There are over 75 different ports in Washington. Washington state law provides for local control of port facilities, and also allows each port to exercise any of its powers jointly with any other port by mutual agreement.
B. The Ports are the two largest ports in Washington state, with extensive investments in their marine facilities, and together are the third largest trade gateway in the United States. Each port handles container and other cargos. The Ports estimate that a significant segment of their import cargo is bound for destinations outside Puget Sound, principally the Midwest. This discretionary cargo is critical for the financial stability of the Ports and the private marine terminal operators who operate the terminals.
C. The leaders of the Ports believe that recent developments in the shipping industry threaten the future of the United States Pacific Northwest trade. These developments include:
1. The Ports have faced increased competition from other expanding ports across North America, prompting them to explore opportunities for a creative collaboration.
2. Losses in the Pacific trade over the past three years have led shipping lines to consolidate into alliances. Such alliances require ports to craft cooperative responses, where appropriate, to meet shipping lines’ needs. 000000.xxxxx draft.discussion agreement.docx
3. Shipping lines are deploying larger container ships. The size of these ships could lead to fewer port calls, but also signals an opportunity for ports that have the capability to handle these vessels through deeper drafts, stronger aprons and berths, and adequate cranes.
4. The larger container ships entering the shipping trades require significant capital investment by ports and marine terminal operators in infrastructure. Ports must make targeted and strategic infrastructure investments to remain competitive.
D. The Ports, in recognizing these developments, entered into an earlier discussion agreement that became effective as FMC Agreement No. 201222) (“Discussion Agreement”). The purpose of the Discussion Agreement was to set forth a framework in which the Ports would explore the feasibility of entering into an alliance. In conjunction with the Discussion Agreement, the Ports entered into an interlocal agreement that described how the Ports would proceed to deter...
BASIS FOR AGREEMENT. The PARTIES acknowledge that they have entered into this Agreement of their own free will, and have not relied on any inducement by the other party to enter into this Agreement (even if such inducement occurred), nor have they relied on any warranty or representation by the other party not explicity set forth in this Agreement (even if such warranties or representations were made).
