“Company Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, circumstance, effect, change, event or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that, no fact, circumstance, effect, change, event or development resulting from or arising out of any of the following, individually or in the aggregate, shall constitute or be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred: (a) any change generally affecting the industries in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries operate in the United States or elsewhere (including changes in commodity prices or general market prices generally affecting such industries and changes in the global demand environment generally affecting such industries); (b) any change generally affecting any economic, legislative or political condition (including trade wars and sanctions) or any change generally affecting any securities, credit, financial, commodities or capital markets condition, in each case in the United States or elsewhere; (c) any failure in and of itself by the Company or any Company Subsidiary to meet any internal or public projection, budget, forecast, estimate or prediction in respect of revenues, earnings or other financial or operating metrics or measures for any period (it being understood that the changes and effects giving rise to or contributing to such failure may (to the extent not otherwise excluded hereby) constitute or be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred); (d)  any change resulting from the announcement, execution or delivery of this Agreement, including (i) the failure of the Company or its Subsidiaries to take any action if Parent’s prior consent is required hereunder and Parent unreasonably withholds consent to taking of such action after receipt of the written request therefor from the Company; (ii) any stockholder litigation related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (but not any finally adjudicated breach of fiduciary duty or any violation of Law itself); (iii) any action taken by Parent or any Affiliate thereof to obtain any Required Statutory Approval from any Governmental Entity or satisfy any condition to the consummation of the Merger and the result of such actions; (iv) any change to the extent that arises out of or relates to the identity of Parent or any of its Affiliates as the acquirer of the Company; or (v) the impact of the announcement, execution or delivery on relationships with employees and labor unions, customers, suppliers, distributors, Governmental Entities and other Persons (it being understood that this clause (d) shall not apply with respect to the representations or warranties in Section 3.05 (or any condition to any Party’s obligation to consummate the Merger relating to such representation and warranty); (e) any change in the market price or trading volume of shares of Company Common Stock on the NYSE (it being understood that the changes and effects giving rise to or contributing to any such change may (if not otherwise excluded hereby) constitute or be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred); (f) any change in applicable Law, regulation or GAAP (or authoritative interpretation thereof); (g) any applicable quarantine, “shelter in place,” “stay at home,” workforce reduction, social distancing, shut down, closure, sequester, safety or similar Laws, promulgated by any Governmental Entity, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, in each case, in connection with or in response to COVID-19 (“COVID-19 Measures”); (h) any geopolitical conditions, the outbreak or escalation of hostilities, any act of war, sabotage or purported terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such act of war, sabotage or purported terrorism; (i) any change or effect arising from any hurricane, strong winds, ice event, fire, tornado, tsunami, flood, earthquake, pandemics (including SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, any evolutions or mutations thereof or related or associated epidemics, pandemics or disease outbreaks (“COVID-19”)), epidemics or other outbreaks of diseases, or other natural disaster or extreme weather-related event, circumstance or development (or escalation or worsening of any such events or occurrences, including, as applicable, second or subsequent wave(s)); and (j) any change or effect arising from any requirements imposed by any Governmental Entity as a condition to obtaining the Required Statutory Approvals; provided, however, that any fact, circumstance, effect, change, event or development set forth in clauses (a), (b), (f), (h) and (i) above may be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred to the extent such change or effect has a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other participants in the industries in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries operate (in which case, only the incremental disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or would be, a Company Material Adverse Effect).
