The Subscriber agrees that all such information falls within the definition of "confidential information" provided by the Company to the Subscriber pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement and must be kept confidential by the Subscriber in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

  • (2) no agreement is reached between the Company and the Subscriber, by the end of the 10 Business Day period under clause 7.1(c), for the Subscriber to participate in the Rox Equity Offer.

  • (e) If the terms of the Subscriber’s participation in the Rox Equity Offer are agreed between the Company and the Subscriber under clause 7.1(c) but shareholder approval is required by law or the ASX Listing Rules before Rox Shares in the Company can be issued to the Subscriber under this clause 7.1, then such issue is conditional upon receipt of that prior shareholder approval and the Company must take all reasonable steps to ensure that shareholder approval is obtained in respect of the issue of such Rox Shares to the Subscriber as soon as reasonably possible after the time of such agreement (including taking all reasonable steps to procure the Company's non-interested directors to unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the issue of such Rox Shares to the Subscriber, subject at all times to the directors' fiduciary and statutory duties).

  • (f) For the avoidance of doubt and without limitation:

(e) The agreement for, and completion of, any transaction contemplated by a ROFR Exercise Notice will be subject to and conditional on:

  • (g) If any required shareholder approvals are not passed at a general meeting of each relevant Rox Group Member for the purpose of clause 7.2(e)(3), the foregoing participation rights set out under the ROFR Exercise Notice will lapse.

  • (a) Unless expressly included, the consideration for any supply under, or in connection with, this agreement does not include GST.

  • (b) To the extent that any supply made under, or in connection with, this agreement is a taxable supply (other than any supply made under another agreement that contains a specific provision dealing with GST), the recipient must pay, in addition to the consideration provided under this agreement for that supply (unless it expressly includes GST) an amount ( additional amount ) equal to the amount of that consideration (or its GST exclusive market value) multiplied by the rate at which GST is imposed in respect of the supply. The recipient must pay the additional amount at the same time as the consideration to which it is referable.

  • (c) Whenever an adjustment event occurs in relation to any taxable supply to which clauses 12.2(a) and 12.2(b) applies:

  • (1) the supplier must determine the amount of the GST component of the consideration payable; and

  • (2) if the GST component of that consideration differs from the amount previously paid, the amount of the difference must be paid by, refunded to or credited to the recipient, as applicable.

  • (1) if the Hawke's Point Reimbursable Costs are deducted from the Subscription Price in accordance with clause 5.3(b)(2)(A), that deduction is a reduction in the Subscription Price. The deduction is not a set-off of an amount of consideration otherwise payable to the Subscriber for a supply made to the Company; and
