7.2.    Company Acquisition Proposals. <omitted> (b) No Change in Company Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. <omitted> Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.2(b), the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may, prior to but not after the time the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals are obtained, make a Change of Company Recommendation if, and only if, (A) an Intervening Event has occurred and the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (B) the Company receives a Company Acquisition Proposal and the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that neither the Company Board nor the Special Committee may take any such action (and the Special Committee may not recommend to the Company Board to take such action) unless (I) prior to making such Change of Company Recommendation, the Company provides prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of its intention to take such action and the basis thereof, which notice shall include, in the case of a Company Superior Proposal, the information required under Section 7.2(e) and, in the case of an Intervening   -38-


Event, a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event, (II) during the Notice Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its employees, financial advisor and outside legal counsel to, be reasonably available to negotiate with Parent in good faith should Parent propose to make amendments or other revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that, in the case of a Company Superior Proposal, such Company Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or, in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law as determined in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and (III) the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee, as the case may be, has taken into account any amendments or other revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement agreed to by Parent in writing prior to the end of the Notice Period and has determined in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that a failure to make such Change of Company Recommendation would still be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; it being understood that any amendments or other revisions to any Company Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Company Acquisition Proposal, including for purposes of the Notice Period; provided, however, subsequent to the initial Notice Period, the Notice Period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days.
