Stockholder Meeting SSE will submit to its stockholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved or adopted by stockholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, SSE will take, in accordance with applicable law and its articles of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to call and give notice of a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and voting on approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement and mail the Proxy Statement as promptly as possible, and convene and hold the Stockholder Meeting as promptly as possible after the mailing date of the Proxy Statement, after SSE has been notified that NVSL has filed all applications to Governmental Entities to obtain all approvals, consents and waivers required to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) SSE has complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 5.1, (y) SSE (1) has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that SSE’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all of the adjustments that may be offered by NVSL pursuant to clause (3) below, (2) has notified NVSL, at least five business days in advance, of it is intention to effect a Change in Recommendation, specifying the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and furnishing to NVSL a copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents, if such exist, with the person making such Superior Proposal and (3) during the period of not less than five business days following SSE’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (2) above and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, has negotiated, and has used reasonable best efforts to cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, with NVSL in good faith (to the extent that NVSL desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (z) SSE’s Board of Directors, after consultation with and based on the advice of counsel, determines in good faith that it would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to recommend this Agreement, then in submitting the Agreement to stockholders at the Stockholder Meeting it may submit the Agreement without recommendation, or following submission of the Agreement to stockholders it may withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation, in which case the Board of Directors may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation, or the withdrawal, amendment or modification of its recommendation, to the stockholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law.
