Section 6.02 Non-Solicitation <omitted> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company Board (upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) shall be permitted, so long as the Company is not in material violation of this Section 6.02 and subject to compliance with Section 6.02(d), (x) to terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 8.01(h) and/or (y) to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal. 

(d) The Company Board or the Company Special Committee, as applicable, shall only be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) if, prior to the time the Required Company Stockholder Approvals are obtained, but not after: 

(i) (A) the Company has provided, at least three (3) Business Days advance written notice (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action in response to a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 6.02(c) (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes, as applicable, written notice of the material terms of such Superior Proposal which enabled the Company Board or the Company Special Committee, as applicable, to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person who made such Superior Proposal and which notice shall attach the most current version of the relevant transaction agreement, and, if applicable, copies of all relevant documents relating thereto including any related financing commitments, (B) during the three (3) Business Day period following the time of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Commitment Letters and Guaranty so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute 

57


a Superior Proposal; and (C) following the end of the three (3) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (B), the Company Board (upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors (including the Special Committee Financial Advisor), taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the Commitment Letters and Guaranty irrevocably offered in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that in the event that the Acquisition Proposal to which this provision applies is thereafter modified in any material respect by the party making such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide written notice of and the material terms with respect to such modified Acquisition Proposal to Parent and shall again comply with this Section 6.02(d) and provide Parent with an additional two (2) Business Days’ notice prior to effecting any Adverse Recommendation Change or effecting a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (and shall do so for each such subsequent amendment or modification). 

(ii) (A) an Intervening Event has occurred; (B) the Company Board (upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial and outside legal counsel (including the Special Committee Financial Advisor), that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would nevertheless be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; (C) prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board (or the Company Special Committee, if applicable) has provided, at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice (a “Notice of Intervening Event”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Intervening Event and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes reasonably detailed information describing the Intervening Event and the reasons for the Company taking such action; (D) during such three (3) Business Day period following the time of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Intervening Event, the Company shall have, and shall have caused its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, and shall have used reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires t o negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and Guaranty in response to such Intervening Event; (E) following the end of such three (3) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (D), the Company Board (upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors (including the Special Committee Financial Advisor), taking into account any changes to this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and Guaranty irrevocably offered in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Intervening Event, that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would nevertheless be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that if the Intervening Event to which this provision applies thereafter changes in any material 

58


respect or another Intervening Event occurs, the Company shall provide written notice of such modified or other Intervening Event to Parent and shall again comply with this Section 6.02(d)(ii) and provide Parent with an additional two (2) Business Days’ notice prior to effecting any Adverse Recommendation Change.
