5.4 No Solicitation by the Company; Other Offers. <omitted> (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, in response to (i) an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is first made after the date of this Agreement and that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; or (ii) an unsolicited inquiry relating to an Acquisition Proposal by a Person that the Company Board determines in good faith is credible and reasonably capable of making a Superior Proposal (an “Inquiry”), the Company may, upon a good faith determination by the Company Board (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (after consultation with its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal: (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry (and such Person’s Representatives); provided, however, that the Company and such Person enter into a customary confidentiality agreement that is on terms no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (but that need not contain “standstill” or similar restrictions); and provided further, that any material non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary provided or made available to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal shall, to the extent not previously provided to Purchaser or Parent, be provided or made available to Purchaser or Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable after it is provided to such Person making such Acquisition Proposal; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry (and its Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company will not be required to enforce, and will be permitted to waive, any provision of any standstill or confidentiality agreement that prohibits or purports to prohibit an Acquisition Proposal being made to the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, provided that the Company has complied with Section 5.4(a), the Company and its Representatives may (x) following the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, contact the Person making such Acquisition Proposal solely to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal made by such Person or (y) direct any such Person to this Agreement, including the specific provisions of Section 5.4(a).
