Superior Proposals Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Company’s receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly through one or more of their Representatives, (i) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, (ii) furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or (iii) afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of clause (ii) and clause (iii), pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to any Person or such Person’s Representatives that has made or delivered to the Company an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and otherwise facilitate such Acquisition Proposal or assist such Person (and such Person’s Representatives and financing sources) with such Acquisition Proposal if requested by such Person, in each case with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or this Section 5.3(b) (other than a de minimis breach), the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Subject to applicable Law and any applicable “clean team” or similar arrangement, the Company shall provide to Parent any non-public information or data that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Parent substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person.

Acquisition Proposals Except as contemplated hereby, the Company shall not (and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its officers, directors and employees and any investment banker, attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by it not to) initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, or knowingly take any action to facilitate, the making of, or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, any proposal or offer to acquire all or any significant part of the business and properties or capital stock of the Company, whether by merger, purchase of assets, tender offer or otherwise (an "Acquisition Proposal"), or provide any non-public information concerning the Company to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.
