Fishery Observer Sample Clauses

A Fishery Observer clause establishes the requirement for an independent observer to be present on fishing vessels to monitor and report on fishing activities. Typically, this clause outlines the observer's duties, such as recording catch data, ensuring compliance with regulations, and reporting any violations. By mandating the presence of a neutral third party, the clause helps ensure transparency, supports sustainable fishing practices, and aids in regulatory compliance.

Notice of meetings of the Board of Directors, the boards of directors and equivalent governing bodies of Echo’s Subsidiaries and any committees thereof shall be furnished (together with all materials to be provided to the Board of Directors) to each non-voting observer no later than, and using the same form of communication as, notice of meetings of the Board of Directors, the Board of Managers, the boards of directors and equivalent governing bodies of Echo’s Subsidiaries and any committees thereof, as the case may be, that are furnished to the members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Managers, the boards of directors and equivalent governing bodies of Echo’s Subsidiaries and any committees thereof, respectively; provided, that Echo, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to remove such observer from such portions of a meeting of the Board of Directors, the Board of Managers, the boards of directors or equivalent governing bodies of any of Echo’s Subsidiaries or any committees thereof, in each case, to the extent such observer’s presence would be likely to result in the waiver of any attorney client privilege. Any observer designated under this Section 3.1(h) shall be permitted to attend any meeting of any of the Board of Directors, the boards of directors and equivalent governing bodies of Echo’s Subsidiaries and any committees of either of the foregoing, in each case, using the same form of communication permitted for members of such Board of Directors, boards of directors and equivalent governing bodies of Echo’s Subsidiaries or any committees thereof.

  • Board Observer Rights (a) The Company agrees that it will invite Observer to attend, in a non-voting observer capacity, all meetings of the Board and any and all Committees for the purposes of permitting Observer to have current information with respect to the affairs of the Company and the actions taken by the Board and Observer to provide input and advice with respect thereto (the “Approved Purposes”). Observer shall have the right to be heard at any such meeting, but in no event shall Observer: (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or such Committees; (ii) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board or such Committees or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action; or (iii) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its stockholders or any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) otherwise applicable to the directors of the Company. As a non-voting observer, Observer will also be provided (concurrently with delivery to the directors of the Company and in the same manner delivery is made to them) copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and all other materials or information (financial or otherwise) that are provided to the directors with respect to a meeting or any written consent in lieu of meeting (except to the extent Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to clause (c) below). (b) If a meeting of the Board or any of the Committees is conducted via telephone or other electronic medium (e.g., videoconference), Observer may attend such meeting via the same medium; provided, however, that it shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Observer to provide any other person access to such meeting without the Company’s express prior written consent (which consent may be by e-mail). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if: (i) the Board concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and such counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or (ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and Observer (assuming Observer were a member of the Board) would not meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded. (d) The Company shall compensate Observer in the same amount of all cash retainers, meeting fees and any other cash fees as if Observer were an independent director member of the Board and a member of each of the committees thereof, as such cash compensation may be modified from time to time. Further, the Company shall reimburse Observer for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Observer in connection with attendance at Board and Committee meetings. All compensation and reimbursements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall be paid to Observer in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices with respect to director compensation and expense reimbursement then in effect; provided, however, that any such compensation or reimbursement shall be paid to Observer no later than comparable compensation or reimbursement is paid to the members of the Board. (e) The rights described in this Section 1 shall terminate upon: (i) the end of the Observer Period, as described in the Merger Agreement; (ii) any material violation of the terms of this Agreement by Observer which (A) remains uncured within ten business days after receipt of notice thereof, or (B) if such violation is not subject to cure, directly causes harm to the Company in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion; or (iii) the death or disability of Observer.
