Superior Proposal Section 5.4(b)........................................37
Acquisition Proposals Except as contemplated hereby, the Company shall not (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and employees and any investment banker, attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by it not to) initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, or knowingly take any action to facilitate, the making of, or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, any proposal or offer to acquire all or any significant part of the business and properties or capital stock of the Company, whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise (an "Acquisition Proposal"), or provide any non-public information concerning the Company to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. In the event the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, it shall, subject to any confidentiality obligations imposed upon the Company in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) inform Parent as to the receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit the Company from (a) furnishing information to, participating in discussions and negotiations directly or through its representatives or entering into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with, any third party (including parties with whom the Company or its representatives have had discussions on any basis on or prior to the date hereof) who makes an unsolicited proposal or offer to the Company or makes an unsolicited request for non-public information about the Company (pursuant to appropriate confidentiality agreements), which proposal, offer or request did not result from a breach of the first sentence of this Section 5.7, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, that such action is required for the Company Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) taking and disclosing to its stockholders any position, and making related filings with the SEC, as required by Rules l4e-2 and 14d-9 under the Exchange Act with respect to any tender offer or (c) taking any action and making any disclosure which the Company Board determines, after receiving advice from its financial advisors and independent legal counsel at a meeting of the Company Board, is required to be taken or made under applicable law (including, without limitation, laws relating to the fiduciary duties of directors), provided that at least 48 hours prior to the entry into or announcement of an intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent advising Parent of its intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and specifying the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal.
Exclusivity; Acquisition Proposals Unless and until this Agreement will have been terminated by either party pursuant to Article X hereof and thereafter subject to Section 10.5, INT'X.xxx will not (and will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of its officers, directors, stockholders, agents, representatives or affiliates) take or cause or permit any Person to take, directly or indirectly, any of the following actions with any party other than Parent and its designees: (i) solicit, encourage, initiate or participate in any negotiations, inquiries, or discussions with respect to any offer or proposal to acquire all or any significant part of INT'X.xxx's business, assets or capital stock, whether by merger, consolidation, other business combination, purchase of assets, tender or exchange offer or otherwise (each of the foregoing, an "ACQUISITION TRANSACTION"), (ii) disclose, in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, any information not customarily disclosed to any Person other than Parent or its representatives concerning INT'X.xxx's business or properties or afford to any Person other than Parent or its representatives access to its properties, books, or records, except in the ordinary course of business and as required by law or pursuant to a governmental request for information, (iii) enter into or execute any agreement relating to an Acquisition Transaction, or (iv) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Transaction or any offer or proposal relating to an Acquisition Transaction other than with respect to the Merger PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (a) INT'X.xxx may furnish or cause to be furnished information concerning INT'X.xxx and its businesses, properties or assets to a Person, (b) the Company may engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person, (c) following receipt of a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Transaction, may make disclosure to its stockholders and may recommend such proposal or offer to its stockholders and (d) following receipt of a proposal or offer for an Acquisition Transaction the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx may enter into an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Transaction, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) only to the extent that the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx shall conclude in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary or appropriate because failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Board of Directors to the stockholders of INT'X.xxx under applicable law; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Board of Directors of INT'X.xxx shall not take any of the foregoing actions referred to in clauses (a) through (d) without prior written notice to Parent with respect to such action. In the event that INT'X.xxx is contacted by any third party expressing an interest in discussing an Acquisition Transaction, INT'X.xxx will promptly notify Parent of such contact and the identity of the party so contacting INT'X.xxx.
Presentation of Potential Target Businesses The Company shall cause each of the Initial Shareholders to agree that, in order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple affiliations, the Initial Shareholders will present to the Company for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person or company, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business, until the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations the Initial Shareholders might have.
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.
Acquisition Target Not Selected Prior to the date hereof, the Company has not selected any business combination target and has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
Targets On or before the date that is nine (9) months after the Amendment Date to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement, LOXO shall designate six (6) Targets from Exhibit B for which research activities will be discontinued. Upon such designation, such discontinued Targets shall cease to be Targets under this Agreement, and Exhibit B shall be deemed to be updated accordingly. On or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Amendment Date to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement, LOXO shall designate two (2) additional Targets from Exhibit B for which research activities will be discontinued; provided, however, that if on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Amendment Date to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement Loxo provides to Array written notice and a payment of [***] (the “Extension Payment”), Loxo will only be required to designate one (1) additional Target from Exhibit B for which research activities will be discontinued at the end of such eighteen (18) months. Upon such designation, such additional discontinued Target(s) shall cease to be Target(s) under this Agreement, and Exhibit B shall be deemed to be updated accordingly. If Loxo made the Extension Payment, then on or before the date that is [***] after the Amendment Date to Amendment No. 2 to this Agreement, Loxo shall designate one (1) additional Target from Exhibit B for which research activities will be discontinued unless Loxo provides to Array written notice and a payment of [***] (“Additive Payment”) in which case Loxo will not need to designate any more Targets from Exhibit B for discontinuation of research activities. Until such time as the eight (8) Targets (or seven (7) Targets if Loxo has made the Extension Payment and Additive Payment) have been designated for discontinuation, and notwithstanding Section 8.2.1 to the contrary, Loxo shall only have the right, at its discretion, to file provisional patent applications covering the applicable Active Compounds to the Targets from Exhibit B and will not convert such provisional patent applications to a non-provisional patent application or otherwise prosecute any non-provisional patent application covering such Active Compounds. During the Discovery Program Term, Loxo may determine in its sole discretion that research activities with respect to one (1) particular Target on Exhibit B should be discontinued [***] Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. (for example, and without limitation, such Target has not yielded sufficient progress, or scientific literature suggests the Target is intractable or is not therapeutically relevant or for safety issues) and replaced with a different target. Upon any such determination, Loxo shall provide written notice to Array of the one (1) Target that Loxo desires to remove from Exhibit B and will include in such notification a suggested substitute for such discontinued Target. After receipt of such notice, Array will promptly inform Loxo whether, as of the date of such written notice, the addition of such suggested substitute target would not (i) violate any agreement that Array has with a Third Party; (ii) add a target that is the subject of Array’s own active and ongoing research (with existing commitment and expenditure of resources for such target), was the subject of previous significant research at Array, or is the subject of drugs in Array’s clinical development pipeline or marketed product portfolio; or (iii) add a target with respect to which Array is engaged in active, ongoing substantial negotiations (i.e., has agreed a term sheet containing material business terms) with a Third Party. If neither (i), (ii) or (iii) apply to such suggested substitute target, then the discontinued Target shall cease to be a Target, the suggested substitute target shall be deemed a Target for the purposes of this Agreement, and Exhibit B shall be deemed to be updated accordingly. If a proposed target is not available for inclusion, then the fact that Loxo proposed such target or is otherwise interested in such target (or molecules directed to such target) shall be Loxo’s Confidential Information.
Proposals After the Future Date, any proposal by TRQ or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives for any additional Senior Loans, bonds, streams, prepays or other similar instruments at TRQ or any of its subsidiaries (including OT LLC) or accommodation for same in the OT Project Financing Agreements shall first be presented to Rio Tinto to obtain its consent (where such consent is required pursuant to existing contractual rights) and alignment of the parties before any such proposal is discussed or shared with EOT or GOM or at any OT LLC board or shareholder meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the rights of the parties under the PPA and all other agreements between TRQ and a member of the Rio Tinto Group, TRQ shall not directly or indirectly, prior to the Future Date, engage with EOT, GOM or the OT LLC board without having first obtained Rio Tinto’s consent, or the approval of the Technical Committee, in relation to any funding considerations or proposals.
