Section 5.3          Acquisition Proposals. 
<omitted> 
(e)          Change of Recommendation / Superior Proposal Termination.  Notwith-standing anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, (x) the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation (1) if the Company receives a bona fide unsolicited Acquisition Proposal following the Agreement Date that did not result from a violation of Section 5.3 and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors) based on the information then available that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) in response to a Company Intervening Event, in either case of (1) or (2), only if the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) if the Company Board is permitted to make a Change of Recommendation pursuant to clause (x)(1), the Company may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to the applicable Superior Proposal; provided, however, that neither the Company Board or the Company shall take any of the foregoing actions unless: 

(i)          the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.3(e); 

(ii)          the Company shall have provided prior written notice (a “Determination Notice”) to Parent at least ninety-six (96) hours in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying in writing, in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to such proposed action, including, in the case such action is proposed to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the information specified by Section 5.3(c) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of a Determination Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a Change of Recommendation);

(iii)          the Company shall have, during the Notice Period negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that (A) the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) with respect to any such action to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that in the event of any material revision to the terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new Determination Notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of Section 5.3(e)(ii) and this Section 5.3(e)(iii) with respect to such new Determination Notice (except that the references to ninety-six (96) hours shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days) and the revised Superior Proposal contemplated thereby; 

(iv)          at or following the end of such Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith based on the information then available that (A) failure to take such action would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) with respect to any such action to be taken in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, in each case taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent prior to the time of such determination pursuant to clause (iii) above; and 

(v)          in the event of a termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 and paid the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.4.
