make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, if and only if: (A) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors,

Recommendation Change), (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice, specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances for such potential Company Adverse Recommendation Change, at least four (4) Business Days prior
to making any such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and, if requested in writing by Parent, during such four (4) Business Day period shall have negotiated in good faith with respect to any revisions to the terms of this Agreement or
another proposal to the extent proposed by Parent so that a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be necessary, and (C) (1) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) Business Day period after the Determination Notice
to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be necessary, and (2) after considering in good faith the proposals made by Parent during such period,
if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would continue to be inconsistent with the
fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements.
