Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the merger agreement, if, solely during the period prior to adoption of the merger agreement by the requisite Bridge stockholder approval, (i) Bridge or any of its subsidiaries has received a bona fidewritten acquisition proposal from a third party which did not result from a material breach of the applicable no-solicitationprovisions of the merger agreement and (ii) the special committee (or the Bridge Board, acting upon the direction of the special committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such acquisition proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a superior proposal (the “SC determination”), then Bridge and its representatives may:
