Section 6.03    Company Recommendation. <omitted> (ii)    No Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.03(b)(i) may be made and no termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) may be made:   (A)    until after the third Business Day following written notice from the Company (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Third Party making, such Superior Proposal, and a copy of any other material transaction documents (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be deemed to have recommenced on the date of such new Notice of Superior Proposal, provided that, in such case the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be only (x) two Business Days following each of up to two new Notices of Superior Proposal and (y) one Business Day following any additional Notice of Superior Proposal);   59


    (B)    unless, during such three Business Day period (or such shorter period that may apply pursuant to the proviso in clause (A) above), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company Board to maintain the Company Recommendation and not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement; and   (C)    unless, following the expiration of such three Business Day period (or such shorter period that may apply pursuant to the proviso in clause (A) above), the Company Board has considered in good faith Parent’s proposal, if any, to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms in this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to such Acquisition Proposal, the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that if Parent makes a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Company Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly enter into amendments to such agreements to embody the terms of such proposal). (Pages 63-64)

provided, however, that no such Adverse Recommendation Change may be made:   (A)    until after the third Business Day (or such shorter period that may apply pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.03(b) (iii)) following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the material facts underlying the determination by the Company Board that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reason for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail (a “Notice of Intervening Event”);   (B)    unless, during such three Business Day period (or such shorter period that may apply pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.03(b)(iii)), the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to enable Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change; and   60


    (C)    unless, following the expiration of such three Business Day period (or such shorter period that may apply pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 6.03(b)(iii)) , the Company Board determines in good faith, taking into consideration any amendments to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent (after consultation with outside legal counsel), that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that if Parent makes a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Company Board determines that such Intervening Event no longer requires an Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly enter into amendments to such agreements to embody the terms of such proposal).   The provisions of this Section 6.03(b)(iii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to an Intervening Event, in which case such change shall require a new Notice of Intervening Event and the Company shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Section 6.03(b)(iii), but in such case the three Business Day period referenced in this Section 6.03(b)(iii) shall be only (x) two Business Days following each of up to two new Notices of Intervening Event and (y) one Business Day following any additional Notice of Intervening Event (Pages 64-65)
