this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 9.1(d)(i). For clarity, the provisions of this Section 7.8(d) shall also apply to any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal (except that any reference to five Business Days shall instead be three Business Days) or any successive Acquisition Proposals. 

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, if and only if: (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law; (ii) Parent shall have received from the Company written notice not later than 11:59 p.m. New York time on the fifth Business Day prior to the making of any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, describing the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; (iii) during the five Business Day period provided in the foregoing clause (ii), the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent), to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate, with respect to any proposed revisions to this Agreement or other proposals made by Parent, if any, that would obviate the requirement to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iv) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would nevertheless more likely than not result in a violation of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 7.8(e) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event (except that any reference to five Business Days shall instead be three Business Days)  (Pages 76-77)
