Successful on the Merits Sample Clauses

Successful on the Merits. The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty.

Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof by clear and convincing evidence.
