Acquisition Proposal “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal made or submitted by Parent) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction.
Superior Proposals Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.1, from the date hereof until the Company’s receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly, or through one or more of their Representatives, participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any Personnel, of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case pursuant to and subject to the entry into a customary confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms no less restrictive in any material respect than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, to any Third Person or its Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from any breach of Section 5.1(a) (other than any breach that is immaterial in scope and effect); provided, however, that, prior to taking any such actions, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 5.1(b) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and provided further that the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) make available to the Parent and its Representatives any non-public information concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is provided to any such Third Person or its Representatives that was not previously made available to the Parent prior to or substantially concurrently (but in no event later than 24 hours after) the time it is provided to such Third Person.

Cost Proposal After the Approved Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, and the Contractor and subcontractors have been selected pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings setting forth the reconciled bids and copies of all sub-bids, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "COST PROPOSAL"). The Cost Proposal shall reflect bids that will be priced by Contractor on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith in an attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable Cost Proposal as soon as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the "PARTIAL COST PROPOSAL") for purposes of facilitating the early purchase of items and construction of the same. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within seven (7) business days of the receipt of the same, or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal within five (5) business days of receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, as the case may be, and to commence the construction relating to such items. If Tenant disapproves the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably sufficient explanation, and in such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, diligent efforts to work with each other and Contractor to address Tenant's reasons for disapproving the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, whichever is the case and a new Cost Proposal (or Partial Cost Proposal, as applicable) shall be prepared and the process described in this Section 4.2 shall be repeated. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be known hereafter as the "COST PROPOSAL DELIVERY DATE". The total of all Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.
Alternative Proposals Unless otherwise specified in the Data Sheet (DS nos. 5 and 6), alternative proposals shall not be considered. Where the conditions for its acceptance are met, or justifications are clearly established, UNDP reserves the right to award a contract based on an alternative proposal.
Competing Transactions From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall provide written notice to each Purchaser not less than 48 hours prior to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (i) entering into a definitive agreement providing for a Competing Transaction or (ii) filing a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to obtain bid procedures or bid protections for or in connection with a Competing Transaction.
Proposal Proposal means any information supplied by or on behalf of the insured, deemed to be a completed proposal form and medical questionnaire and other relevant information that the insurer may require.
No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals (a) Stockholder shall not, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates, and its and their respective officers and directors (if applicable) not to, and will instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any of its other Affiliates or Persons acting on its or their behalf (including employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents, "Representatives") not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, endorse or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or any proposals or offers that constitute or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (B) furnish or disclose any information regarding the Company to any Person in connection with, or in response to, an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (C) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, or (D) approve, recommend or enter into, any letter of intent or similar document, agreement or commitment, or agreement in principle (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that in each of the foregoing clauses (A)-(D), in the event a Third Party submits an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal to the Company, the Stockholder or any of its Representatives shall not be prohibited from participating in any discussions or negotiations with respect to a possible tender and support, voting or similar agreement in connection with such Acquisition Proposal if and only if, and following the Company’s receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board determines that the Company and its representatives may engage in such discussions or negotiations in response to such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.2(a) of the Merger Agreement. Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry.
