(d) If, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) receives a Company Takeover Proposal that it determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) may (i) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(iii) in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for a Company Superior Proposal (any such agreement, a “Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) if (A) the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (B) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement (which notice shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), including if applicable a copy of the proposed Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement between the Company and the Person making such Company Superior Proposal; (C) for a period of four (4) Business Days following the notice delivered pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 5.3(d), the Company shall have made Company Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with Parent Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Takeover Proposal that is the subject of the notice described in clause (B) above no longer constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of any Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new negotiation period (except that such new negotiation period shall be for two (2) Business Days)); and (D) no earlier than the end of such negotiation period, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor), after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, that (x) the Company Takeover Proposal that is the subject of the notice described in clause (B) above would still constitute a Company Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would still be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. 

(e) Other than in connection with a Company Superior Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.3(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.3(e)), prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, but only in response to a Company Intervening Event and only if (i) the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change due to the occurrence of a Company Intervening Event (which notice shall specify and describe the Company Intervening Event in reasonable detail and which notice shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change); (iii) for a period of four (4) Business Days following the notice delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 5.3(e), the Company shall have made Company Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent Parent desires to negotiate), with Parent Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to the Company Intervening Event shall require a new notice and a new negotiation period (except that such new negotiation period shall be for two (2) Business Days)); and (iv) no earlier than the end of the negotiation period, the Company Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor), after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, that the failure to take such action would still be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
