Section 5.04 Stockholder Approval. (a) Company agrees to take, in accordance with applicable Law, the Articles of Incorporation of Company and the Bylaws of Company, all action necessary to convene a meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon the approval of this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by Company’s stockholders in order to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any adjournment or postponement, the “Company Meeting”) and, subject to Section 5.09, shall take all lawful action to solicit stockholder approval, including by communicating to its stockholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus) that they approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, except in accordance with this Section 5.04. Company shall engage a proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to Buyer to assist in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders relating to the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval. However, subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, if the board of directors of Company, in response to (1) a Company Intervening Event or (2) a Company Superior Proposal, in each case, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger, then, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval, in submitting this Agreement and the Merger to its stockholders, the board of directors of Company may withhold or withdraw or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Buyer the Company Board Recommendation or may submit this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders without recommendation (each, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of 

    57


the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the board of directors of Company may communicate the basis for its Company Adverse Recommendation Change to its stockholders, including in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto; provided, that the board of directors of Company may not take any actions under this sentence (including effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change) unless (i) it gives Buyer at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken by the board of directors of Company in response to a Company Superior Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Company Superior Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances) and (ii) at the end of such notice period, the board of directors of Company takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Buyer and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement and the Merger. Any material amendment to any Company Superior Proposal will be deemed to be a new Company Superior Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.04(a) and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 5.04(a). Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to convene the Company Meeting as soon as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. Except with the prior approval of Buyer or as required by applicable Law, no other matters shall be submitted for the approval of Company stockholders at the Company Meeting. Except in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.04(a), Company’s board of directors shall at all times prior to and during the Company Meeting recommend approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of Company and shall not withhold, withdraw, amend, or modify their recommendation in any manner adverse to Buyer or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with their recommendation. Notwithstanding any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, Company shall submit this Agreement to its stockholders for their consideration at the Company Meeting and nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Company of the obligation to do so. In the event that there is present at the Company Meeting, in person or by proxy, sufficient favorable voting power to secure the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval, Company will not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting unless Company is advised by counsel that failure to do so would reasonably be likely to result in a breach of the U.S. federal securities Laws or fiduciary duties of Company’s board of directors. Company shall keep Buyer updated with respect to the proxy solicitation results in connection with the Company Meeting as reasonably requested by Buyer. Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting, Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval. Company shall only be required to adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting two (2) times, for aggregate adjournments or postponements not exceeding sixty (60) calendar days, pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 5.04(a) and any further adjournments or postponements of the Company Meeting shall require the prior written consent of Buyer.
