Coordination of activities relating to RFMOs Sample Clauses

Coordination of activities relating to RFMOs. Work Program Item 4.3 requested the SBWG to develop a strategy for the Agreement and Parties to engage and assist Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and other relevant bodies to assess and minimise bycatch of albatrosses and petrels. There was considerable work on this item intersessionally, which culminated in the paper SBWG-2 Doc 14 / AC4 Doc 56. This paper summarises the current status of RFMOs overlapping spatially with ACAP-listed species, in terms of RFMO actions that relate to the conservation of these species. The paper is intended to facilitate ACAP Working Group and Advisory Committee discussions on developing strategic engagement with RFMOs and other fishery management bodies. RFMOs are inter-governmental organisations which work to manage fish stocks. As part of that management, RFMOs consider ecosystem impacts of fishing, including seabird bycatch. Because of the capacity for RFMOs to establish management measures relating to seabird conservation in ‘their’ fisheries, ACAP may progress its own objective through engaging with these bodies. SBWG-2 Doc 14 proposes goals and processes for such engagement, and suggests areas of work in each RFMO to which attention could be devoted for the benefit of albatross and petrel conservation. The SBWG considered the document outlined a useful approach to Party engagement with each other on RFMO issues and engaging with RFMOs, and was supportive of the suggestion of nominating an RFMO Coordinator for each RFMO meeting. The importance of good coordination between agencies within Parties was noted, e.g. the agency responsible for seabird conservation and that managing fisheries. It was considered essential that discussions on seabird bycatch are closely linked to those of fishery management, to ensure ownership of seabird bycatch issues by fishery managers, and the joint progression of both target catch and seabird bycatch issues. The Working Group recognised that RFMO Coordinators would succeed best when able to act as stand-alone ACAP representatives, rather than also being part of national delegations. This was particularly relevant with respect to attendance and participation at meetings. The Working Group noted that where ACAP representation was undertaken by a Coordinator also serving on a national delegation, that representative could be constrained in terms of the time they were able to contribute to ACAP, versus national, duties. Further, the Working Group noted that the Coordinator m...

  • INDEMNIFICATION RELATING TO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS The Contractor will also indemnify and hold the Authorized Users harmless from and against any and all damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), claims, judgments, liabilities and costs that may be finally assessed against the Authorized Users in any action for infringement of a United States Letter Patent, or of any copyright, trademark, trade secret or other third party proprietary right except to the extent such claims arise from the Authorized Users gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that the State shall give Contractor: (i) prompt written notice of any action, claim or threat of infringement suit, or other suit, (ii) the opportunity to take over, settle or defend such action, claim or suit at Contractor's sole expense, and (iii) assistance in the defense of any such action at the expense of Contractor. If usage shall be enjoined for any reason or if Contractor believes that it may be enjoined, Contractor shall have the right, at its own expense and sole discretion to take action in the following order of precedence: (i) to procure for the Authorized User the right to continue Usage (ii) to modify the service or Product so that Usage becomes non-infringing, and is of at least equal quality and performance; or (iii) to replace said service or Product or part(s) thereof, as applicable, with non-infringing service or Product of at least equal quality and performance. If the above remedies are not available, the parties shall terminate the Contract, in whole or in part as necessary and applicable, provided the Authorized User is given a refund for any amounts paid for the period during which Usage was not feasible. The foregoing provisions as to protection from third party rights shall not apply to any infringement occasioned by modification by the Authorized User of any Product without Contractor’s approval. In the event that an action at law or in equity is commenced against the Authorized User arising out of a claim that the Authorized User's use of the service or Product under the Contract infringes any patent, copyright or proprietary right, and Contractor is of the opinion that the allegations in such action in whole or in part are not covered by the indemnification and defense provisions set forth in the Contract, Contractor shall immediately notify the Authorized User and the Office of the Attorney General in writing and shall specify to what extent Contractor believes it is obligated to defend and indemnify under the terms and conditions of the Contract. Contractor shall in such event protect the interests of the Authorized User and secure a continuance to permit the Authorized User to appear and defend its interests in cooperation with Contractor, as is appropriate, including any jurisdictional defenses the Authorized User may have. This constitutes the Authorized User’s sole and exclusive remedy for patent infringement, or for infringement of any other third party proprietary right.

  • Procedures Relating to Indemnification (a) In order for an Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Separation Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any person who is not an Indemnitee against such Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must notify the party who may become obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim reasonably promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced in its ability to successfully defend the matter giving rise to such claim as a result of such failure. After any required notification (if applicable), the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. (b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof solely to assert any additional defenses and to employ counsel, at its own expense, except as set forth below, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnitee shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnitee in defending such Third Party Claim, except for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnitee which the Indemnitee reasonably determines, after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related claim for money damages. If such equitable or other relief portion of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages. (c) The indemnification required by Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or the Indemnifiable Loss is incurred. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute a Third Party Claim (i) all the parties hereto reasonably necessary or appropriate for such defense or prosecution shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof, which cooperation shall include the retention in accordance with this Separation Agreement and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim and in such party’s control, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of all significant developments in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and (iii) the Indemnitee will agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party may recommend (after representing to the Indemnitee that such settlement is reasonably likely to be acceptable to the parties to the Third Party Claim) and which by its terms obligates the Indemnifying Party to pay the full amount of liability in connection with such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, without the Indemnitee’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (x) that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or its properties or (y) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such claim; provided, further, however, that if the Indemnitee does not consent to any settlement recommended by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to subclause (iii) above (after representing to the Indemnitee that such settlement is reasonably likely to be acceptable to the parties to the Third Party Claim) then the Indemnifying Party (1) shall not in any event be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee, or otherwise be responsible, for any amount in excess of the amount of the settlement so recommended by the Indemnifying Party and (2) shall be entitled to reimbursement of the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnifying Party after the date on which the recommendation was made to the Indemnitee in the event the final and unappealable judgment in such Third Party Claim exceeds the amount of the settlement so recommended. If the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party does not or is not entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. (d) In order for an Indemnitee to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Separation Agreement in respect of a claim that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall deliver notice of such claim (in reasonably sufficient detail to enable the Indemnifying Party to evaluate such claim) with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnitee to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced in its ability to successfully defend the matter giving rise to such claim as a result of such failure. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnitee within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to such claim under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, the claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, as provided above, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.11.
