6.1 Company Board Recommendation. <omitted> (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to Offer Acceptance Time: (i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 5.4) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and, after consultation with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such   51


Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, (x) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, or (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, that the failure to do so is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) at least four (4) Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation); and (C) (1) the Company shall have provided to Parent all information contemplated to be provided in accordance with Section 5.4(d), (2) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, (3) after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws, and (4) if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 8.1(f). Issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f), in and of itself, shall not be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.1. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(i) shall also apply to any material amendment (which shall include any change to the financial terms, including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) to any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days; and (ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, that the failure to do so is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least four (4) Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation; and (C) (1) the Company shall have specified the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (2) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Intervening Event would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to do so) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by   52


Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event is inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days.
