  • Alternative Proposals (a) Prior to the Offer Closing Date, GFI and the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) may (directly or through their Representatives), in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal, subject to compliance with Section 5.4(c) (Change in Recommendation): (i) furnish information with respect to GFI and the GFI Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to and in accordance with a customary confidentiality agreement; provided, further, that a copy of all such information provided to such Person has previously been provided to Parent or its Representatives or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person or its Representatives regarding such Takeover Proposal; provided, in each case, that the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor) that such Takeover Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. (b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt, directly or indirectly, by GFI of any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, and in any case within 24 hours after the receipt thereof, GFI shall provide oral and written notice to Parent of (i) such Takeover Proposal or inquiry, (ii) the identity of the Person making any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (iii) the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including a copy of any such written Takeover Proposal and any amendments or modifications thereto). Commencing upon the provision of any notice referred to above and continuing until such Takeover Proposal is withdrawn or the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) has provided written notice to Parent that it is prepared to effect a Change in Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.4(c) (Change in Recommendation), (A) GFI (or its outside legal counsel) shall, in person or by telephone, keep Parent (or its outside legal counsel) reasonably informed of, and shall provide to Parent or Purchaser upon request, the status of such Takeover Proposal and any material developments related thereto, including material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms of such Takeover Proposal and (B) GFI shall, promptly upon receipt or delivery, and in any case within 24 hours after the receipt thereof, provide Parent (or its outside legal counsel) with copies of all drafts and final versions (and any comments thereon) of agreements (including schedules and exhibits thereto) relating to such Takeover Proposal exchanged between GFI or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the person making such Takeover Proposal or any of its Representatives, on the other hand. (c) Neither the Board of Directors of GFI nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall, directly or indirectly, effect a Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to Expiration Date, the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) may, in response to a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event, effect a Change in Recommendation; provided that the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor) that the failure to do so would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of GFI under applicable Law; provided, further, that the Board of Directors of GFI may not effect such a Change in Recommendation unless (i) the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent that it is prepared to effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event, which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Proposal, attach the most current version of any written agreement relating to the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal, and, in the case of an Intervening Event, attach information specifying such Intervening Event in reasonable detail and any other information related thereto reasonably requested by Parent, it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a Change in Recommendation, and (ii) Parent does not make, within four Business Days after receipt of such notice a proposal that the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor) would cause the proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or obviates the need for a Change in Recommendation as a result of the Intervening Event, as the case may be. GFI agrees that, during the four Business Day period prior to its effecting a Change in Recommendation, GFI and its Representatives shall, if requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (so long as Parent and its Representatives are negotiating in good faith) regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by Parent intended to cause such Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or to obviate the need for a Change in Recommendation as a result of an Intervening Event. Any material amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal or material change to the facts and circumstances that are the basis for such Intervening Event occurring or arising prior to the making of a Change in Recommendation shall require GFI to provide to Parent a new notice and a new negotiation period of two Business Days (instead of four Business Days). (d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit GFI or the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) from taking and disclosing any position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act in respect of any Takeover Proposal, providing any information to stockholders of GFI required by Section 220 of the DGCL or making any disclosure to the stockholders of GFI if the Board of Directors of GFI (upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of GFI under applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Board of Directors of GFI nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall, except as expressly permitted by Section 5.4(c) (Change in Recommendation), effect a Change in Recommendation.
