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.
Strategy As an organization without operational services (fuel, maintenance, etc.), and in consideration that the majority of potential issues come from boat maintenance whereby the boats are personal property, the predominant strategy will be the minimization of on-site waste. With this approach, the organization will have minimal potential impact on the environment and reduce regulatory risk. To accomplish this, requirements will be established by policy, periodic communications shall occur, and audits will be utilized to provide feedback for improvement.
Proposal Format To facilitate efficiency and consistency in proposal evaluation, the following guidance is mandatory. Proposals which do not follow this guidance may be rejected as non-responsive and thus ineligible for award.
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.

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.
Commercialization Plan At such times as the JGC will deem appropriate, the JGC will direct the Parties to mutually prepare a Worldwide Commercialization Plan, and the JGC will review and approve such initial Worldwide Commercialization Plan. Thereafter, the JGC will have one or the other Party (or both) update the Worldwide Commercialization Plan each calendar year, and the JGC will review and approve any such update or any other amendment to the Worldwide Commercialization Plan.

In addition, either Party may request at any time that the JGC consider and approve other updates to the Worldwide Commercialization Plan. Further:
(a) The JGC will set the required form and contents of the Worldwide Commercialization Plan. The Worldwide Commercialization Plan will reflect a singular marketing and sales approach worldwide, and will specify, among other things, the number of sales reps in the U.S. for each Party, allocation of regions in the U.S. for each Parties’ sales force, creation of marketing materials, planning for conferences, and other marketing activities.
