(e)               Prior to the Company making any Change of Recommendation or (to the extent applicable) terminating this Agreement as permitted:   (i)                 Under Section 6.2(d)(i), the Company shall provide Parent with four (4) business days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to take such action, including copies of the proposed definitive agreement, all ancillary agreements, and all written communications providing other terms (and, if oral, a summary of the material terms of such communications) relating to such Acquisition Proposal or, if such documents and written communications are not available to the Company, specifying in writing the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal. During such four (4) business day period, the Company shall negotiate in good faith Parent (and shall cause its Representatives to negotiate in good faith) (in each case, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate and makes its Representatives available for such purposes) to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. The provisions under this Section 6.2(e)(i) shall also apply with respect to any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal (except that any reference to four (4) business days shall instead be three (3) business days) or any successive Acquisition Proposals.

The provisions under this Section 6.2(e)(ii) shall also apply with respect to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change of Recommendation (except that any reference to four (4) business days shall instead be three (3) business days); provided that, no such three (3) business day period shall be required if such three (3) business day period would commence within five (5) business days prior to the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (taking into account any adjournment or postponement of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting required by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(g)(1)) unless any such three (3) business day period is the first three (3) business day period under this Section 6.2(e)(ii) with respect to an Intervening Event (in which case such three (3) business day period shall commence).
