Section 5.4 Non-Solicitation. <omitted> Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Lambda Stockholder Approval, and subject to Lambda’s compliance in all material respects at all times with the provisions of this Section 5.4 and Section 5.3, in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to Lambda that was not initiated, solicited, knowingly encouraged or knowingly facilitated by Lambda or any of the Lambda Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, the Lambda Board may make a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that Lambda shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal with respect to Lambda (x) until three (3) Business Days after Lambda provides written notice to Pi (a “Lambda Notice”) advising Pi that the Lambda Board or a committee thereof has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, and identifying the Person or group making such Superior Proposal, (y) if during such three (3) Business Day period, Pi proposes any alternative transaction (including any modifications to the terms of this Agreement), unless the Lambda Board determines in good faith (after consultation with Lambda’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all financial, legal, and regulatory terms and conditions of such alternative transaction proposal, including any conditions to and expected timing of consummation, and any risks of non-consummation of such alternative transaction proposal) that such alternative   67


transaction proposal is not at least as favorable to Lambda and its stockholders as the Superior Proposal (it being understood that any change in the financial or other material terms of a Superior Proposal shall require a new Lambda Notice and a new two (2) Business Day period under this Section 5.4(b)) and (z) unless the Lambda Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, determines that the failure to make a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. (c) Notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 5.4(b), at any time prior to obtaining the Lambda Stockholder Approval, and subject to Lambda’s compliance in all material respects at all times with the provisions of this Section 5.4 and Section 5.3, in response to a Lambda Intervening Event, the Lambda Board may make a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change described in clause (A) of the definition thereof if the Lambda Board (i) determines in good faith, after consultation with Lambda’s outside legal counsel and any other advisor it chooses to consult, that the failure to make such Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, (ii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change are independent of any Acquisition Proposal (whether pending, potential or otherwise) with respect to Lambda and (iii) provides written notice to Pi (a “Lambda Notice of Change”) advising Pi that the Lambda Board is contemplating making a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying the material facts and information constituting the basis for such contemplated determination; provided, however, that (x) the Lambda Board may not make such a Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change until the third Business Day after receipt by Pi of the Lambda Notice of Change and (y) during such three (3) Business Day period, at the request of Pi, Lambda shall negotiate in good faith with respect to any changes or modifications to this Agreement which would allow the Lambda Board not to make such Lambda Adverse Recommendation Change consistent with its fiduciary duties.
