Superior Proposal Section 5.4(b)........................................37
Acquisition Proposal “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (other than an offer or proposal made or submitted by Parent) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction.
Cost Proposal After the Approved Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, and the Contractor and subcontractors have been selected pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings setting forth the reconciled bids and copies of all sub-bids, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "COST PROPOSAL"). The Cost Proposal shall reflect bids that will be priced by Contractor on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith in an attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable Cost Proposal as soon as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the "PARTIAL COST PROPOSAL") for purposes of facilitating the early purchase of items and construction of the same. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within seven (7) business days of the receipt of the same, or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal within five (5) business days of receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, as the case may be, and to commence the construction relating to such items. If Tenant disapproves the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a reasonably sufficient explanation, and in such event, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, diligent efforts to work with each other and Contractor to address Tenant's reasons for disapproving the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, whichever is the case and a new Cost Proposal (or Partial Cost Proposal, as applicable) shall be prepared and the process described in this Section 4.2 shall be repeated. The date by which Tenant must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the case may be, shall be known hereafter as the "COST PROPOSAL DELIVERY DATE". The total of all Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.
Superior Proposals Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.1, from the date hereof until the Company’s receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly, or through one or more of their Representatives, participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any Personnel, of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case pursuant to and subject to the entry into a customary confidentiality agreement containing confidentiality terms no less restrictive in any material respect than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, to any Third Person or its Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from any breach of Section 5.1(a) (other than any breach that is immaterial in scope and effect); provided, however, that, prior to taking any such actions, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 5.1(b) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and provided further that the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) make available to the Parent and its Representatives any non-public information concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is provided to any such Third Person or its Representatives that was not previously made available to the Parent prior to or substantially concurrently (but in no event later than 24 hours after) the time it is provided to such Third Person.

If required under applicable Law or requested by applicable Governmental Authorities following the time that all of the relevant facts and circumstances of a Party’s involvement in the Transactions are provided to such Governmental Authorities and such Party has had a reasonable amount of time (taking into consideration the status of the applicable Governmental Authority’s clearance of other related documents and filings relating to the Transactions, such as the Proxy Statement) to present and explain its positions with the applicable Governmental Authority, such Party agrees to join (and to cause its Affiliates to join) as a filing party to any Schedule 13E-3 filing discussed in the previous sentence.

Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals (i) As promptly as practicable (but in any event within one business day) after any of Avanex or Oplink's respective officers, directors or representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its subsidiaries) receives or becomes aware of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal by Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, reasonably believes could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, Avanex or Oplink, as the case may be, shall provide the other party hereto with written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

Superior Offer “Superior Offer” shall mean a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Agreement that the Board of Directors determines, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, regulatory and financing aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal and other aspects of the Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors deems relevant, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (solely in their capacity as such) from a financial point of view than the Transactions (including after giving effect to proposals, if any, made by Parent pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i)); provided that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Offer,” the references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”
