(b) Exceptions to No Solicitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.2(a), but subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c), prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2, the Company may: (i) provide information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries in response to a request to the Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) who made such an Acquisition Proposal and the respective Representatives and financing sources thereof; provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent, or is made available to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time such information is made available to such Person or group, and prior to providing any such information or data, the Company and the Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) making such Acquisition Proposal shall have entered into a legally binding confidentiality agreement (A) with terms not less restrictive in any material respect to such Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) than the comparable terms in the Confidentiality Agreement are on Parent and (B) that treats any financing sources of such Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) as “representatives” of such Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) thereunder, subject to the same confidentiality limitations as such Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of an Acquisition Proposal, but shall not include any restrictions that would reasonably be expected to restrain the Company from satisfying its obligations contemplated by Section 7.2(c)) (any confidentiality agreement satisfying such criteria, a “Permitted Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, however, that if the Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) making such Acquisition Proposal is a competitor of the Company (as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion), the Company shall not provide any competitively sensitive information to such Person in connection with any actions permitted by this Section 7.2(b) other than in accordance with customary “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; and -36- (ii) engage or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person or group (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) and the respective Representatives and financing sources thereof regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(b), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, based on the information then available, including the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and those of this Agreement, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
