<omitted>

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the later of the Company Stockholder Approval and the Majority of the Minority Approval, if (A) in response to an Intervening Event, the Board or any Independent Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (B) in response to an Acquisition Proposal that did not arise from a material breach of Section 6.3(b) (other than any such breach caused by any member of the Purchaser Group) and that has not been previously withdrawn or terminated, the Board or any Independent Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board or any Independent Committee may make a Change in Recommendation in respect of such Intervening Event or such Superior Proposal, as the case may be. The Board or any Independent Committee may make a Change in Recommendation only if (i) the Board or any Independent Committee has notified Parent in writing of its intent to take such action (any such notice, a “Change in Recommendation Notice”), which notice shall be provided at least four Business Days in advance of such action (and the Purchaser Parties shall keep the contents of such Change in Recommendation Notice confidential until such Change in Recommendation is made public by the Company) and, if delivered in connection with (A) a Superior Proposal, such Change of Recommendation Notice shall include the material terms and conditions of the   51


Superior Proposal and a copy of the available proposed transaction agreement to be entered into in respect of such Superior Proposal) or (B) an Intervening Event, such Change of Recommendation Notice contains a reasonably detailed description of the material details of such Intervening Event; provided, that it is agreed that the provision of such Change in Recommendation Notice to Parent, in each case, shall not constitute a Change in Recommendation; (ii) if requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, following receipt by Parent of the Change in Recommendation Notice and for such period of at least four Business Days in advance of making a Change of Recommendation (such time period, the “Notice Period”), negotiate with Parent and any Representative of Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to permit Parent to propose amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger (a “Parent Proposal”); (iii) following the Notice Period, and taking into account any Parent Proposal received during the Notice Period, the Board or any Independent Committee shall have considered in good faith such Parent Proposal, if any, and shall have determined, in respect of such Superior Proposal, that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal or, in respect of such Intervening Event, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation with respect to such Intervening Event would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, if the revisions proposed in such Parent Proposal, if any, were to be given effect; and (iv) such Superior Proposal did not arise from a material breach of this Section 6.3(b) (other than any such breach caused by any member of the Purchaser Group). The Company acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with a Change in Recommendation Notice delivered in connection with an Acquisition Proposal that is determined to be a Superior Proposal, each successive material modification to the financial terms or other material terms or conditions (including the provision of financing) of such Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.3(e) and shall trigger a new obligation (taking into account any changes offered and agreed to in writing by Parent during the Notice Period), except that such Change in Recommendation Notice shall be provided at least two Business Days (instead of four Business Days otherwise contemplated by clause (ii) above) in advance of a Change in Recommendation.
